A large percentage of our Fantasy Premier League (FPL) assets will feature in the five 3pm kick-offs this afternoon, as Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City are all in action.

The Reds host Brighton and Hove Albion, Thomas Tuchel’s troops are away at Newcastle United and the reigning Premier League champions entertain Crystal Palace.

Burnley v Brentford and Watford v Southampton are the other two matches getting underway at the traditional kick-off time.

There are no real shocks in the Liverpool and City line-ups, so we start our team news on Tyneside.

Mason Mount – the most bought FPL player of Gameweek 10 – is absent from the Chelsea squad altogether because of illness, while Cesar Azpilicueta is benched for the second league match in a row.

Mount is one of three players who drop out of Thomas Tuchel’s line-up from last week, with Trevoh Chalobah and the injured Mateo Kovacic also making way.

Andreas Christensen, N’Golo Kante and Hakim Ziyech start in their places.

Newcastle are unchanged.

The benching of Diogo Jota is the headline news at Anfield, with Sadio Mane and Curtis Jones replacing the Portugal international and the injured James Milner.

Brighton make three changes to the side that went down 4-1 to Manchester City, with Yves Bissouma, Enock Mwepu and Shane Duffy recalled. Pascal Gross and Neal Maupay drop to the bench, while Dan Burn is injured.

Kevin De Bruyne in for Ilkay Gundogan is Pep Guardiola’s only change from Gameweek 9, while Patrick Vieira has benched Christian Benteke, Luka Mililojevic and Michael Olise to accommodate Wilfried Zaha, Jordan Ayew and Cheikhou Kouyate.

Bryan Mbeumo has made the Brentford matchday squad but only as a substitute. Marcus Forss starts alongside Ivan Toney instead but Ethan Pinnock has recovered from a hip problem to feature. Alvaro Fernandez is in for the injured David Raya.

Ben Mee and Johann Berg Gudmundsson return for Burnley, with Nathan Collins and Jack Cork dropping out.

Joao Pedro has replaced Ozan Tufan in Claudio Ranieri’s only alteration for Watford v Southampton.

James Ward-Prowse, Kyle Walker-Peters, Adam Armstrong and Che Adams are all back in the Saints starting XI, with Romain Perraud, Ibrahima Diallo and Theo Walcott dropping to the bench. Armando Broja is sidelined with an ankle injury.

  1. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    At least we all picked the right captain this week.

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yes can’t wait to see the damage Kane brings

  2. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Just have this horrid feeling Ronaldo will be benched 🙁

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Nah can't see it

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Really hope so man. I wildcarded him in GW5 and he’s done nothing. Really annoying.

    2. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      If he did that and we lost the pitchforks would be out.

    3. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Nah, Greenwood and Rashford probably will be but not Ronaldo or Bruno.

    4. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Let’s put it another way. The right thing to do would be to play somebody who presses more from the front than Ronaldo. He’s a liability in front of MacFred.

      Big call though.

    5. ANGRY PERSON
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      No way.

    6. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      It will be good for United. Cavani presses so much more

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Yes.... he does.

        Surely Ole can’t play the same line up as Atalanta and Liverpool for the third game in a row. Playing both might be an option.

  3. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Salah G Mane A offside...

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Damn!

  4. Liberate HK - antichinazi
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Stones 5.3 is tempting

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      If you have a City defender already, he shouldn’t be. Doubles are the devils work.

      1. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Been always saying this. One goal is all it takes to wipe out two CSs at once. Not for me.

  5. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Mbuemo stays on the bench

    1. Totalfootball
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Wow
      What a decision by Frank lmao

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Probably wants him fresh for next week? Risky to bring on now.

        1. Totalfootball
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          You must have a pretty good sub ?!

    2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Jesus. So he’s settled for the 3 nil defat then.

    3. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      If they get one back early enough in the second half, he might throw him on and go for it. Probably won’t be rushed otherwise

    4. The-Red-1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Have they just made 3 subs?

  6. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Salah offside goal. So close.

  7. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Brighton in the mood!

  8. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    What minute will Newcastle score? Double che defence

    1. Totalfootball
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Seeing this GW
      Pretty soon!

    2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Incoming.

  9. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    1. Differentiator

      D0ffy

    2. It's Fergie Time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      White

    3. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Unfortunately not Tomiyasu’s CS, going to be D.Luiz for me barring any surprises

    4. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Gallagher

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

    6. vincentwsho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Semedo

    7. Lieutenant Frank Columbo

      Benny

  10. Differentiator
    • 10 Years

  11. Drogo
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Sorry everyone, I had to curse Salah by putting the armband back on him.

  12. La Roja
    • 14 Years

    Ziyech post!

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years

    2. Jafooli
      • 14 Years

      Havertz post assist?

    3. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years

      Prefer email

  13. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    James and Brownhill out for Manquillo and Cornet?

    Defence still has TAA Cancelo Chilwell Livramento

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Would give you the same defence as me, also a Cornet owner 🙂

  14. GoonerSteve
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Played Foster over Ramsdale.
    Gallagher on the bench.
    Livramento on the bench.

    Ouch.

  15. Pukki Party
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Jack Grealish just had a touch inside the box

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Oh don’t. Had him for weeks now with one measly assist to show for it.
      He’s gone for me next week

    2. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Lucky you....

  16. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    I never realised there were sooooo many fit hot women available in my area then streaming football arrived 🙂

  17. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Feels like the kinda match where Lukaku would have buried a chance for Chelsea by now

  18. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Let’s get these pesky Soton and Chelsea CS wiped please.

  19. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Brighton playing some lovely stuff

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Very open game though.

  20. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Havertz SOT

    1. Rainer

    2. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years

      Improved from last week then 🙂

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years

        😆

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Almost fainted

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        😛

    4. Jafooli
      • 14 Years

      Link? won’t believe until seen….

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        😀

    5. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Well that confirms that this game week is cursed

  21. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Dynamic trifecta of sarr Raph mbeumo paying off again

  22. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Cavani needs to start. Ole needs to see that surely. The man had such a positive effect on all the young players last season, presses absolutely everything, doesn’t throw a tantrum when things don’t go his way or someone makes a bad decision. Play two up top if he is afraid of dropping Ronaldo but play Edison. Pleased for him to stay for another season and for what.

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      *pleaded

    2. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I agree. He’s been better than I ever imagined since he came to OT.

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        He was the reason we got to where we were last season. All the Bruno talk, and rightfully so, but Cavani carried us. Needs to play every week

    3. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Said it at the time that Ronaldo was a daft buy that was only going to offset the balance they'd accrued and they needed to concentrate recruitment on midfield.

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I did myself. Was saying it all along it was not what we needed. Idolise the man, don’t get me wrong, but I do feel sorry for Cavani

    4. ANGRY PERSON
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Cr7 apparently holding the dressing room together

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I’m not necessarily saying drop Ronaldo, I am saying play Cavani.

        1. ANGRY PERSON
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Cr7 actually plays better with a number 9 around him, as long as Cavani feeds him assists

      2. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Come on that's just his agent leaking stuff to the press for the inevitable player manager role he'll get after they get trounced by City at home.

        1. ANGRY PERSON
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Ikr. All these news undermines Ole even more

  23. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    wherefore art thou mbuemo

  24. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Foden and Mount utter fail here.

  25. Totalfootball
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Where is my customary chilwell goal?

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Whatever is a bigger vehicle than a bus is currently infront of the Newcastle goal so will be hard to get today

      1. FPLtfs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Sorry guys. Brought him for a -4

  26. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Salah not shooting today...

  27. Will Kane
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Last time I scored 100+ it was followed by a 47. I will be lucky to get 30 this time!

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      nice brag

      1. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        im on 4 points from 6

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Watch out don’t moan, cocky Smurf is about lol, moan police

      3. Will Kane
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Ha! Didn't think it was too braggy as there were a fair few 100s around when I got them, as opposed to some kind of genius differential team outwitting everyone. But they do seem to have angered the FPL gods and compelled them to remind me that I am in fact an absolute plum.

    2. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Highest GW rank i ever got was 1300th... three weeks later I got my lowest ever GW score of 14pts. Same team with no transfers in between.

      1. Will Kane
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Excellent work! I believe 18 was my all time low

        1. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          It was the year I had every Belgian in the league... The highlight of the big score was two goals from Vertonghen if I remember right.

  28. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Played Foster. Benched Guaita.

    Cancelo please score!!!

    1. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Benched Ramsdale >.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      That was logical, don't beat yourself up over them ones.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Indeed

        But somehow FPL and logic doesn't go along

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      It was the right call.

  29. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Havertz looks like a footballer today?

  30. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Do something Toney

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Frank should rest him for Norwich game
