The final two matches of Gameweek 12 kick off simultaneously at 16:30 GMT, with the Manchester derby at the Etihad the stand-out fixture.

Arsenal take on Wolves at the Emirates in the other tea-time game.

Manchester City have made just one change from the side that beat Southampton last weekend, with Riyad Mahrez replacing Leroy Sane.

That alteration will likely see Raheem Sterling move over to the left flank, as he had done in the Champions League in midweek.

Sergio Aguero and Benjamin Mendy return to the City starting XI after being rested for that win over Shakhtar.

The injured Paul Pogba misses out altogether for United, while Romelu Lukaku is fit enough for a place on the bench after a return to training on Friday.

Alexis Sanchez drops out of the United line-up, meanwhile, with Marcus Rashford set to lead the attack.

Marouane Fellaini returns to a defensive-looking central midfield alongside Ander Herrera and Nemanja Matic.

In north London, Unai Emery has made one change from the side that drew with Liverpool: Alex Iwobi replacing Henrikh Mkhitaryan on the right flank.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side remains unchanged, though Diogo Jota has recovered from injury to take his place among the Wolves substitutes.

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Walker, Stones, Laporte, Mendy, Fernandinho, Silva, Mahrez, Bernardo, Sterling, Aguero.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Young, Lindelof, Smalling, Shaw, Matic, Herrera, Fellaini, Lingard, Rashford, Martial.

Arsenal XI: Leno, Bellerin, Mustafi, Holding, Kolasinac, Torreira, Xhaka, Iwobi, Ozil, Aubameyang, Lacazette.

Wolves XI: Patricio, Coady, Bennett, Boly, Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Doherty, Costa, Cavaleiro, Jimenez.

    Are you buying Martial now... havingin mind he is back playin for France... or waiting should somethin happen even though more expensive?

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Does he actually play for France?

      1. Clintymints
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        They have plenty of options, their C team could be an A team

        I wouldn't be worried

        1. MTPockets
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah not many recent games recently according to this:

    2. Jack Burton
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      just transfered slightly nervous but would have been priced out

    3. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Martial still has a place in that France team?

      1. HD7
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Hes called again to play vs Uruguay and Holland. Even in training ... theres a risk

  2. Clintymints
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Maybe it's the fpl talking but it feels weird to be considering Martial on my team.

    It just doesn't fly

  3. Eytexi

    7 years, 8 months ago

    Looking at fixtures, i have little confidence going into next week. Any advice? 1FT, 0ITB.

    Fabianski.
    Doherty, Bennett, Robbo, Alonso.
    Salah, Hazard, Rich.
    Arnie, Aguero, Wilson.

    (Hamer, Anderson, Hogg, AWB)

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      looks an excellent team to me

      I guess Fab is a worry but will get save points

      1. Eytexi
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Guess I'm overthinking. Thanks! Concerned about double Wolves after recent weeks and no clue on captaincy, but i guess we're all playing with the same fixtures so not too bad.

    2. MTPockets
      7 years, 8 months ago

      What's wrong with it (except whu fixture)?

      1. Eytexi
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Maybe im overthinking. Cant see an obvious captain choice. Triple WHU isnt ideal, and not comfortable with double wolves defence. Thanks though!

    3. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Why? I wouldn't be.

      1. JustPark
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        *except for Fabs.

      2. Eytexi
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Captaincy is my main loss - nothing stands out to me. Havent learned to trust Wolves either.

    4. Champione
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Decent team. Wilson > Jimenez or save imo

      1. Eytexi
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Considered that but think im going to save. Thanks!

    Ragabolly is a genius
    Just saying

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      not questioning your statement but may I ask why? good move in his team?

      1. XabiAlonso
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        He has made a website that predicts your rank hours before the site updates.
        It was correct today and yesterday to the exact number.
        Unbelievable

        1. XabiAlonso
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          As well as lots of other information about averages etc

          1. kennethrhcp
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 8 months ago

            some going!!!

            ya I see his contributions on here but knew there'd be something I missed to generate your OP

        2. Clintymints
          • 17 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          If only FPL could actually do something similar

          ikr

    2. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Live FPL Rank calculated to the tee. Fair play.

    3. Epic Fail

      Stephen Hawking had nothing on Ragabolly.

    What to do? Maddison to martial??

  6. DR0GBA
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Salah + Fraser > Sterling + Martial (-4)

    A) Yes
    B) No

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Hell no for me. Mostly b/c taking a hit this early could backfire

      1. DR0GBA
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Still got the wildcard and considering using it this GW anyway

        1. MTPockets
          7 years, 8 months ago

          If you like it then ignore us.

    2. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      B for now unless you still have WC... if you have WC I've no idea tbh

    3. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Not for a hit

    4. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      no

    5. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Looks wrong to me. Even without the hit.

    6. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      No way jose

    7. DR0GBA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Cheers all, won't do it 😀

    8. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Hell no, to the hell, no no!

  7. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Last 4 gameweeks I have made really bad moves. What can I do?
    Patricio
    Alonso, Chilwell, Duffy
    Richarlison, Salah, Mané, Hazard
    Aguero, Wilson, Ings

    Subs: Hamer, Bennet, AWB, Billing

    2ft, 0.2 itb

    1. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Mane to Martial. Personally wait till IB is over. Price change won't affect you.

    2. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      You're okay I think. Maybe look at Doherty or Holebas even though he's not fashionable at the moment

  8. Champione
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Early thoughts on this team?

    A) Mane > Sterling
    B) Salah + Mitro > Martial + Aguero -4

    Dubravka
    Alonso Robertson Mendy Doherty
    Salah Hazard Mane Richarlison
    Arnautovic Mitro

    Hamer Diangana Diop Success

    1. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe Jiminez for Mitrovic and use the money elsewhere like diop or success

      1. Champione
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        cheers. Hate watching City without any offensive players though 😀

  9. KGFC
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone seen Spurs lately? How is Davies playing? Attacking or sitting back?

    1. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Not really attacking. Nothing line Tripp.

    2. MTPockets
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Only saw last game. Looked quite good (click on his name in lineup for heatmap)

  10. el polako
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Thinking about activaiting my WC, how did Mendy play ? Any good or is time to get rid and invest cash elsewhere ?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Actually defended instead of attacking all game.

    2. Champione
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      would consider Digne/Duffy instead on WC. Think he will be rotated. Alson looks like he is told be more defensive against bigger teams. Not very attacking against United and Spurs for example

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Mendy had a very good game actually. Less-so for FPL but don't forget they were up against United (yes, even so...)

  11. DR0GBA
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Any news on Richarlison injury?

    I could do Barkley/Fraser > Richarlison for free

    1. Champione
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      personally don't think it's very serious. Confident he'll be back after IB

    2. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Should be fine after the rest

      Just looked like a sore groin that should clear up in time

  12. FPLAdmiral
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Stuck for what to do next, been stuck at 35k for a few weeks and don’t like the balance of my team. Thoughts chaps?

    1.3m ITB, 1FT.

    Patricio
    Alonso, Robertson, Mendy, Doherty
    Hazard, Salah, Richarlison
    Aguero, Arnie, Wilson

    (Button)(Diangana, Kayal, AWB)

    1. Champione
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Very template and good team. Wilson > Jimenez is an option. Captaincy will decide whether you'll get green or red arrows next gw

  13. Kingtekkerz
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Would you do Ings—>Jimenez before IB?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldn't, no.

    2. JRO093
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      See my post below.. I did a similar move but regret it a bit! 2 weeks is a long time...

    3. MTPockets
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Plays for Mexico so not yet no.

  14. JRO093
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Been playing points over pounds all season and am sitting in my best ever (top-3000) spot but just spent my only transfer getting in Jiminez cuz I expect him to rise a couple of times... already regret it as I am going against the way I have been playing :-/

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 8 months ago

      No point worrying about it now.

  15. FPL Mentor
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Hart Hamer
    Robbo Alonso Mendy Doherty Bennett
    Salah Hazard Pereyra Barkley Højbjerg
    Aguero Arnautovic Jiménez

    Exact funds to do Pereyra & Barkley 》 Martial & Brooks.

    Hmm. What to do?

    Could just miss out on Tony, wait and get Richarlison instead..

    1. Francescoli
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah Siggy or Rich are better options imo

  16. fantasyfog
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    what's the -points for giving away a pen? ederson due a - surely

    1. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      -2

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      No minus points in this game

  17. Francescoli
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    A) TAA to Doch
    B) Bennett to Doch

    Patricio
    Mendy Alonso TAA
    Salah Hazard Richalison Gudmundsson Fraser
    Aguero Arnie

    Fabianski; Bennett, AWB, Success

    0.9 ITB, 1FT

  18. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Alisson,
    Mendy, Alonso, TTA
    Salah, Haz, Frazer, Bark
    Vardy, Arnie, Wilson

    Foster, Diag, Doc, AWB

    2.7 itb

    Best options?
    Vardy to Kun or Bark to ?
    Anything better?

    1. Numbuster
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Barkley > kenedy is good..
      but u have diangana as your 5th MF..

      should get too much 5th player in a position
