The Mohamed Salah (£12.3m) injury saga goes on as the Egyptian was left on the bench for Liverpool’s trip to Crystal Palace.

Jurgen Klopp mentioned in his pre-match press conference that the ankle problem sustained against Leicester is still present for Salah and with Champions League action midweek, he has opted to rest him for Gameweek 13.

That has led to a well-deserved start in the Reds’ front-three for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (£6.2m), who has impressed in Champions League and on international duty of late.

There was better news for owners of Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) who, like Salah, came into Gameweek 13 with a yellow flag.

The left-back has been named in the starting line-up as Liverpool prepare to visit the division’s joint-lowest scorers in home matches.

Meanwhile, Joel Ward (£4.5m) returns from the injury that forced him off against Chelsea in Gameweek 12.

Things are much less routine at Brighton where Brendan Rodgers names an unchanged Leicester side, featuring Jamie Vardy (£9.6m), James Maddison (£7.5m) and Youri Tielemans (£6.7m).

Perhaps disappointing for those who backed Vardy for the captaincy, Adam Webster (£4.4m) has come through a late fitness test to start alongside Shane Duffy (£4.9m), while Lewis Dunk (£4.6m) misses out through suspension.

Arsenal manager Unai Emery has kept faith in the front-three that started at Leicester last time out, deploying Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) alongside Alexandre Lacazette (£9.3m), supported by Mesut Özil (£7.2m).

That means that for the third match in a row, there is no place in the Arsenal side for Nicolas Pépé (£9.2m).

The Gunners have kept with the back-three system but Sokratis Papastathopoulos (£5.0m) comes in for an injured Rob Holding (£4.5m).

Meanwhile, Southampton come to the Emirates Stadium with Ryan Bertrand (£4.8m) restored to the left-back position and Cédric Soares (£4.8m) on the right.

Jannik Vestergaard (£5.0m) drops out as Ralph Hasenhüttl switches to a back-four while Michael Obafemi (£4.9m) is paired with Danny Ings (£6.0m) up-front.

With Joshua King (£6.3m) missing out through injury, Eddie Howe lines up his Bournemouth side in a 3-4-3 formation, with Harry Wilson (£6.0m) and Ryan Fraser (£7.0m) either side of Callum Wilson (£7.7m).

It also puts Diego Rico (£4.3m) into a more advanced position as a wing-back in this system.

Wolves come to the Vitality Stadium, naturally, in the same formation, with Diogo Jota (£6.1m) and Adama Traoré (£5.2m) either side of Raúl Jiménez (£7.4m).

Norwich look to be trying a new system in their visit to Everton, as Daniel Farke’s men appear to be laid out in a 4-3-3 formation with Onel Hernandez (£5.3m) and Todd Cantwell (£4.6m) flanking Teemu Pukki (£6.7m).

Finally, Daryl Janmaat (£4.4m) misses out for Watford with a knee injury that went unreported by Quique Sanchez Flores in his most recent press conference.

    Pope McGovern
    TAA Soyuncu Lundtsram Tomori Rico
    Mane KdB Mount Tielemans Dendoncker
    Auba Vardy Tammy
    2FT 0.2 ITB

    Auba and Tielemans/Mount to Jimenez and Son?
    If yes, which one
    Also looking at Maddison, Robertson and other Spurs/Utd players

  6. La Roja

    Bottom of previous Page

    Is this worth -8?

    Cresswell Yarmo Auba ➡ Soy Maddison Laca

    1. nibirislam17
      • 6 Years

      Nah. Just Cress to Soy

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

    Back to basics Burnley, few things better in FPL.

    Hopefully more Pope points in his farewell game vs Palace.

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Burnley know how to close shop against non top 6.

  8. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Mane gets 2 baps, niiiiice.

  9. New Post
  10. Party time
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Zaha jammy autosub for Salah feels great

  11. PapaWengzz
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Vardy just ended some peoples seasons for eg that Everton fan who keeps talking about Xox stats

  12. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    60 with Tammy Lundstram KDB Mount/Rico to go if BAPs hold.

    Trent and Mount major problem areas. Luckily have 3.5m ITB

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      TAA is not a problem, let alone major.

      1. Railwayman
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        He really is. Pure s.hit for the last few weeks, now he is just a 7.2 RB with corners, no more playing like a WB or even a winger. Hendo blocking him big time.

        1. ZeBestee
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          I won't mind keeping him for longer. There is no way he is out of my team atm.

  13. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    AFTV ought to cheer me up. Watching people more miserable than me bound to make me feel better.

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I have supported Arsenal for close to 20 years, used to feel really awful when we lost, but I have stopped caring for almost 2/3 years now. Life's good.

  14. Matt Sk
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Considering Lundstram ownership there are only 43,1% teams active at this point? (maybe some people dont have him but the vast majority should have bought him already)

  15. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Captained Auba.

    Own Vardy + Maddison.

    That retaken pen situation hurt 🙁

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      It’s a joke.

  16. Railwayman
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    What an afternoon !!! I am a Vardy C owner and in my ML my main rival has Robbo and Mane (C) and Ryan as his GK. At one moment he had about a million points more than me, and than that VAR decision about the Leicester penalty. Wow, just wow.

  17. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Big call dropping Mount.

    1. Pacer.
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      The guy has played a lot and looks a bit tired. I don't think we can call it dropped. Likely just using his squad

    2. Pacer.
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      And not a great surprise to see jorg and kante both start v city

  18. Kane-harry Island
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    I knew most people would captain Vardy so I took a punt to captain Mane instead. Need I say that failed horrible and words can't express how disappointed I am. Huge red arrow incoming.

    1. Miniboss
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Horribly? Guy at least scored, gets baps and some people here have been capping Richarlison.

      1. Kane-harry Island
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        you dont understand. Everyone in my mini league capped Vardy. Im currently losing bragging rights

        1. Miniboss
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          My condolences on your loss then

    2. Podge
      • 15 Years

      😆

      1. Kane-harry Island
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        the punt almost going well when Mane scored first but hey....

        1. Bushwhacker
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Blame crap VAR ... Madison FTL.

  23. JJO
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    What an imbecil you have to be to call that a penalty at first and then to cancel already scored goal just to retake the penalty
    Is that ref organizatio full of retards?

    1. Pacer.
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Just referees that know the rules apparently

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yup. Daft. How did we survive prior to VAR redistributing points?!?

  24. Kane-harry Island
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Sold Sterling for Son. Makes sense?

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      We’ll find out in 70 mins

  25. Pacer.
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Auber + Guendouzi ----> Son and Ings (-4)

    Done. Mount will be my bench fodder/rotator over Christmas

  26. sirmorbach
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Lads, would you rather have Traore or McGinn?

  27. Bushwhacker
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    VAR ... ruining fantasy teams across the globe.

  28. KGFC
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Worth getting in Kane for either Tammy or Jimmy?
