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.

      Unlucky 😀

  14. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Man, I had predicted on here I didn't think City would keep a CS. But will get a City defender next week.

  15. Fer Fuch's Ake
    • 12 Years

    FFS Zaha on my bench

  16. Paqueta Rice

    4 years, 5 months ago

    Cancelo Dias James TAA Livra

    How do I fit in Chilwell in the future

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Dias > Chilwell

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

      Go without

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

      Probably Dias
      Man City double defence probably not needed with the fixtures - play the best team in the world next week

    4. 272MK
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Im thinking the same. Wingback always preferrable than CB

      1. Gowiththeflow
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        However, more prone to rotation

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

    Who did not cap Salah.

    The end.

  21. JJO
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Just great
    They decide to concede goals as soon as bring 2 City defenders

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

    Cancelo before and after I got him in is two different stories….

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

      I enjoyed all his lovely points up until GW6 but as soon as everyone gets him in the points dry up

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

    Wrexham goal. Deadpool buzzing

  24. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    I'm done with the double City defense!

  25. Sif
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Woood goal.

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

      Hwang and King to return next?

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

        That's some strike force 😆

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

      Good … now get Mbeumo on

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

    Salah = THE KING OF FPL.

  27. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    COYP

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

      Started watching Ted Lasso last night. Lots of Selhurst in that!

  28. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Double MCI defense on WC has been costly mistake. Dias to TAA looks like a forced move.

  29. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Wood, Lowton, Zaha, Gallagher

    Forgotten men with returns

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

    Lol Gallagher assist first on my bench
