All eyes focus on Liverpool as they host Crystal Palace among today’s 3pm Premier League matches.
Mohamed Salah (£13.5m) is by far the most-captained player of the Gameweek, with just under two million Fantasy managers handing him the armband.
He starts at Anfield today, alongside his usual attacking team-mates Sadio Mané (£9.5m) and Roberto Firmino (£9.3m).
Despite suggestions he could be involved against Palace, Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.2m) was absent from the matchday squad through injury.
As expected, James Milner (£5.6m) fills in at right-back, so it will be interesting to see if that alters Salah’s recent involvement in Liverpool penalties.
Visitors Palace do indeed start with Julian Speroni (£3.9m) in goal, as Roy Hodgson opts for 4-3-3 once again, Wilfried Zaha (£6.7m) and Andros Townsend (£5.8m) flanking Jordan Ayew (£.5.7m)
Elsewhere, Callum Wilson (£6.5m) returns to the Bournemoutb line-up, while Andy Carroll (£5.4m) leads the West Ham line in the absence of Marko Arnautovic (£6.9m).
Marcus Rashford (£7.6m) and Paul Pogba (£8.6m) both start for Manchester United as they host Brighton, who have lined up with Glenn Murray (£6.3m) in the starting XI, a slightly uncommon occurence for away matches.
Oumar Niasse (£5.0m) makes his Cardiff debut starting up front alongside Callum Paterson (£5.1m) as the Bluebirds visit Newcastle.
Danny Ings (£5.5m) returns to the Southampton side, as Pierre-Emile Højbjerg (£4.4m) comes back into central midfield.
The Saints are set to host an Everton line-up featuring Richarlison (£6.9m) at centre-forward, Ademola Lookman (£5.1m) deployed on the right-wing again.
