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.

  4. Arteta
    • 10 Years

    Mo & Trent please do something. I beg you.

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Mo only matters if you triple captained him

  5. Dr. Rog
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Imagine purchasing a championship club for £300mln
    Mike Ashley the biggest winner here

    1. Londongeezaa
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      The Arabs were never allowed to buy Arsenal, United or Liverpool. The Americans kept them.

      They just convinced them to waste money on Newcastle instead.

    2. Esalman
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Save it for the Winter transfer window when Haalal and Mo-bappe joins then.

  6. Flair
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Reece James. The GW5 WC villain turned hero

    1. fish&chips
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      So this

  7. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Double city defence, Azpi, Mbeumo, Mount. God dammit.

  8. Sailboats
    • 10 Years

    Salah > Havertz for -4 ?

    1. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Definitely. Havertz (c)

  10. 272MK

    4 years, 8 months ago

    WHY DIDNT JAMES TAKE THE PENALTY

    1. Esalman
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      European player of the year had to take it.

  11. fish&chips
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    This is beautiful after last week's horror show havertz (c)

    Guaita, James, chilwell, havertz, and livra off the bench.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Just Livra off the bench

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Water is wet

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        As someone pointed out last week, water in its self isn’t wet, but makes other things wet.

        😉

        1. badgerboy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Wet facts

          1. Jafooli
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            😎

        2. how now brown cow
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Does it not make the water next to it wet?

          1. Jafooli
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Two negatives don’t make a positive

            1. how now brown cow
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              As a laporte owner I've got enough negatives thank you

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Nothing new

  13. Jumbosausage
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Just no late Salah points now plz.

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      You don't have him?

      1. Jumbosausage
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I do but I didn't captain him.

        1. TheTinman
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Same

  14. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    JOTA DO SOMETHING

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      This!!!

    2. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Sounds like a TV advert directed at men. 😀

  15. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Sanchez 1 save. Great

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Sanchez save points are as rare as rocking horse sh*t.

    2. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      When you buy a keeper from a team with a good defence but the defence is so good they don't concede shots

  16. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Poor Lamptey, always getting injured.

    1. fish&chips
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Is he OK, feel bad for the guy. So much potential

  17. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Why tf have I kept Sarr this long?

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I am selling next week.

  18. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Gonna put James in so he concedes 3 and blanks next week

    1. Londongeezaa
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      More likely he gets benched

  19. Pavsboot
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Christiansen -> James next week and I'll have TAA Cancelo Chilwell James as a back four set up for the season hopefully. Insane times.

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      The attacking defs have performed well and consistent. Not sure it will continue

  20. GROBARI
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Toney is the most overrated FPL player for a quite a long time. Always blanks and people always find ways to trust him as a good fpl player

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Beginning to think the same now.

  21. vickyz r3d d3vil$ !!!
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Saul coming on means Azpi staying on the bench. Armstrong 5 pointer coming on for me

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      ESR for me 🙂

  22. diesel001
    • 9 Years

    Salah is going to save Liverpool, IMO.

  23. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …

    People ignoring Man City getting thrashed. It is a more interesting game.

    Anyone thinking 3x Chelsea defence?

    1. Liberate HK - antichinazi
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      me. better value than TAA

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        True

  25. Freshy

    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Any kneejerk recommendedations?

    Sanchez
    TAA / Cancelo / Chilwell
    Salah / Jota / Raphinha / Mbeumo
    Vardy / Antonio / Toney

    Steele // White / Livramento / Bissouma

    A) Raphinha/White > Foden/James
    B) Raphinha/Bissouma > Foden/ESR

    😛

  29. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
