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.

    Bench Boost disaster as usual..

    Foster/White/Livremenco and soon to be Gallagher I suppose. Ah well.

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Crazy BBing that motley crew.

      1. camarozz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I don't think so. They had good fixtures on paper.

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Apologies but I own White Livramento and Gallagher

  3. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Few goals in the Leeds wolves game

    Hwang furthest forward during counter attacks

    Me likely

  4. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Surprised Digne is still at 5.3m!

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He has to be one of the most frustrating FPL players ever?

      So much promise for constant disappointment.

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Would be gold in a top 4 team

      2. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Awful. He’s got 1 point more than the Norwich defenders like Hanley this season!

      3. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        *Shaw files a letter of protest*

    2. tbos83
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I kept him for these next two fixtures but can't wait to rage him out

  5. WVA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Gallagher has to return today, please god!!!!

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      This or he turns into ESR by midnight….

  6. pundit of punts

    Raphina close

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Ive been wanting to get him since I wildcarded but I've had an injury every week, may just take a hit and get him

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Coming in for me this gw

        Silly to go without vs Norwich

  7. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Give ball to Raphinha. Hope he does something.

  8. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Raph getting closer

  9. Stranger Mings
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Best replacement for havertz up to 8.1 a) grealish b) foden c) mount e) other? Thanks

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

      Keep if Lukaku/Werner still out.

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        What type of advice is this lol

        1. bodgejob
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Or just kneejerk week to week like you do

          1. FOO FIGHTER
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            I do mot have Havertz and would not keep him if if I did.

            The ones who got him in are the kneejerkers.

            1. MrZ
              • 9 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              What a kneejerk comment. I have havertz & will keep him.
              Newcastle conceded a lot from the middle, whic is good for havertz if Lukaku still out.

              The Norwich result wasn't surprising me, watford conceded a lot by winger rather than by strikers.

  10. Coaly
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Chilwell or Cancelo?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Both

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      And?

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Trent

    3. bigwig
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      The answer is probs both unless you have James

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

        I have James and I think I'm gonna buy all 3 + TAA.

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Some massive hauling right there

        2. bigwig
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          It's a good shout. I'm gonna go 2x city, James + Trent I think.

        3. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Will set you up for massive hauls!

    4. Flair
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Cancelo

  11. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    How's Livra playing?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      At fault for the goal.

      1. Hutchiniho
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Been Excellent Again.

  12. Original Sin
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Which ones for GW 10?
    A. Havertz--->Mount
    B. Benny----> Raphinha
    C. Havertz+Mount---> Mount+ Raph (-4)

    1. Original Sin
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      C. Havertz+benny--->Mount + Raph

    2. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah, I’d do A then C….

  13. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Gallagher in advanced positions? Anyone watching?

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers - Any chances? Any hope?

        Started him ahead of Sarr…

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Gallagher will never return again, I can tell you that for free

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Until we sell….

  14. pundit of punts

    2 years, 6 months ago

    Raphinha beast mode on

    All Leeds now

  15. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    If you owned Rudiger, would you swap him for Chilwell? Or is that way too sideways.

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I’m holding Rudiger

      1. Bartowski
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Is he enjoying it?

        1. Stockport Hatter
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          He loves it

          1. La Roja
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Get a room, jeez

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

      No. Find another way to buy Chilwell.

    3. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I have Alonso and Rudiger

      Will do Alonso ➡ Chilwell

    4. Kodap
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      My other two defenders are Trent & Cancelo, so wouldn’t want rid of either?

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

        Surely you have more important moves to make. I'd only do it if you have 2 FTs and nothing else urgent.

    5. Free Hat
      • 5 Years

      Only swapping wives

  16. Nomar

    Worse GK pick than Meslier?

    1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 13 Years

      Krul

    2. OPTA FPL

      Ramsdale

    3. Collie01

      Pope considering his price

    5. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Schmeichel

  17. Bobby Digital

    This is Raphinha vs Wolves

  18. tokara
    • 9 Years

    Broja doing anything???

    1. Hutchiniho
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Should have an assist already

  19. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Leeds are getting on top without really threatening with any serious chances. Raph looks a level above whenever he touches the ball.

  20. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I've got Tierney and Armstrong.

    Rid whom first?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Depends on Tierney injury news

      1. seewhyaxe
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Arteta's post-match doesn't seem to give a clue, shall wait for next press then

  21. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Livramento just hit the post.

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not fair

    2. Liberate HK - antichinazi

    3. pundit of punts

      🙁

  22. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Come on Raphinha. Change my mind!

  23. Liberate HK - antichinazi
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Goalless after 15 mins.

  24. mojoindojo
    • 10 Years

    Get Wlwhich Chelsea attacker or steer clear?

  25. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    This team needs a WC next week right? A lot of players with hard fixtures and non starters in the team, thoughts?

    Sanchez - Foster
    Cancelo - Tsimikas* - D.Sanchez* - White - Marcal*
    Salah - Benrahma* - Gray - Havertz* - Brownhill
    Ronaldo* - Antonio* - Vardy

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yep

    2. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Absolutely

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

      Yes. Very much yes.

    4. bigwig
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, Def needs an overhaul. I don't think your mid or attack is a disaster but there's better options.

  26. bigwig
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone here go Mount (c)?

    1. SEXY SALAH
      • 7 Years

    2. Paul Psychic Octopus
