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.

    So Ivan Toney not in goals again, despite the hard on some get when talking about him he still got only 2 goals this season.

  6. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

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

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

    Almost shipped Gallagher for Foden as part of a -4 that involved benching Livramento

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

    Rival getting Gallagher in for Mbuemo. Sickner.

    1. GROBARI
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Biggest jam of the season

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

      Though it yielded points, gotta think what the thought process was shipping a player playing Burnley for a player playing City.

  15. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Took a hit to bench Gallagher. You couldn't make this season up.

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

    Just need Antonio and Cresswell to injure eachother before the game now to save this gw

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

      I bought him this GW after selling Gallagher. Sold Jota before his haul too

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

    How unlucky can you be after all these Liverpool clean sheets this was the week I bought Trent, and for a hit too!
    Ridiculous

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Same and benched Gallagher.

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

        I just don’t understand how this can keep happening every single gameweek. I must be fast approaching some kind of weird record!

        1. Fish up a tree
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

  22. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    My FPL team is really good...at avoiding points

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

    Imagine owning triple Man City

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

      With Pep? Surely no one's doing that...

    2. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years

    Catching 50 points in ML quite difficult right?

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

      Nope

      1. Moose™
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Do I need to match his team? He has Foden, and I did not..

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

      Not with 28 GWs left

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

    Man City are actually massively overrated

  28. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago
