Raphinha and Jimenez return to starting XIs as Armstrong is benched again

Four more Premier League matches kick off at 3pm BST today: Crystal Palace v Newcastle United, Everton v Watford, Leeds United v Wolverhampton Wanderers and Southampton v Burnley,

Raphinha is back in the Leeds United starting XI today, replacing Tyler Roberts in Marcelo Bielsa’s only alteration from the team that he sent out in Gameweek 8.

Kalvin Phillips is on the bench after a calf injury.

As for the visitors, Raul Jimenez is back in the Wolves team despite some pre-match concerns over game-time for the Mexican. He and Rayan Ait-Nouri are in for Ruben Neves and Marcal, who isn’t even among the substitutes.

Richarlison is only fit enough for a place on the Everton bench, with Anthony Gordon and Tom Davies in for Abdoulaye Doucoure and Alex Iwobi the two changes that Rafael Benitez has made.

Jeremy Ngakia, Joshua King and Ozan Tufan are brought in at the expense of Danny Rose, Emmanuel Dennis and Kiko Femenia by Claudio Ranieri.

It’s one change apiece at St Mary’s, with Theo Walcott replacing Moussa Djenepo and Erik Pieters in for Charlie Taylor.

Adam Armstrong is only among the substitutes for the Saints, with budget forward Armando Broja stationed up top.

Patrick Vieira makes one change to the Crystal Palace team that drew 2-2 at Arsenal on Monday, with Michael Olise in for Jordan Ayew. Wilfried Zaha is only on the bench after recovering from illness.

Newcastle caretaker boss Graeme Jones makes two tweaks to the Newcastle team named by Steve Bruce in his final game in charge of the Magpies, with Emil Krafth and Ryan Fraser in for Joe Willock and Joelinton.

    In 8 years of FPL I’ve played this is by far the most hair pulling, blue balling year of the lot

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      That was last season for me.

  16. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    McArthur 3 baps with no returns in a game he should have been suspended for.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        2 years, 6 months ago

        xSB through the roof

        Expected Saka blasting

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Benched Dennis, played Havertz

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        How dare you

      2. _Ninja_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Same. also played Sarr... Raph..

    3. Rednev1983
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      King plays for Norway.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          2 years, 6 months ago

          He switched allegiance? Southgate won't like that

        • Jafooli
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          *Finland

        • Il Capitano
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

      2. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        my points coming from random sources this week, Hwang, Livra and Auba

      3. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Sa is gone, the defenders in front are total liability - useless - Semedo, Marcel etc

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Yup they're all clowns, every week it's something new

          • have you seen cyan
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            I had been rocking Marcal and Semedo, but after last week I ditched Marcal for Cancelo and benched Semedo for Livra. Haae no faith in their defence, and marcal was always going to drop out at some point.
            I got some cs at least, you got an assist also

        2. drughi
          • 14 Years

          Just got in so excited seeing 2-5 in the Everton watford game as a sarr townsend owner, classic fpl dissapointment when i logged in to see my score.. Wtf really nothing

        3. Sailboats
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Beautiful! Wolves CS wiped out. Nice!

          1. DycheDycheBaby
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            No. No it's not.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Sarr not involved in any of 5 Watford's goals is even funnier than Havertz not being involved in any of 7.

        5. F4L
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          What the hell happened to Everton

          1. MagicMessi
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Doucore out = No midfield

          • 11 Years

          Azpi benched but semedo looks decent for clean sheet. Oops!
