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.

        Almost up there with selling Torres, Toney, Mahrez for a 35 point loss in GW3

      Never let facts in the way of a good story?

      While he made some wild card moves this morning, he had already moved James a few days back etc.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        He sold James this morning dude - along with ESR - what is not true about that?

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          4 posts in a month and you log on to post this?

          Are you Mark?

          1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Yeah, calling out clowns like yourself

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 16 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              Always nice to throw a personal insult in, really adds to the credibility, and goes well with the clutching of pearls at daring to point out an absolutely horrific move from a “Pro”

              1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
                • 12 Years
                4 years, 4 months ago

                Yeah, you won. You dragged me down to your level and beat me with your experience.
                Keep your obsession.

          You sure you want to double down on that?

          https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/56371/transfers

          He had been on a wildcard.
          He got rid of James days ago.
          He moved ESR this morning but got Son in with those moves.

          But your story sounds better: He sold ESR and James this morning. OMG

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 16 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            I tell you what

            I quadruple down on it

            You prove to me that Mark didn’t sell James & ESR this morning & I’ll hold my hands up & say I’m wrong - fair?
