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.

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

    Sh*tty defence lol.

    Cancelo to Rudiger or James on the cards to double up with Chilly.

  11. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years

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

      Funny how that's now the expectation.

  12. jack88
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Unpopular opinion : Brentford is over hyped

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

      Raya is the glue.

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

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

      Pretty decent I’d say

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      High. Newcastle player would have to get close enough to injure a defender

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

    Time for the Template Chilwell Trent Cancelo back three … double ups too much heartache … sob.

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

    Feck this.

    Alisson in goal set forget the rest of the season.

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

    I think even if they needed Salah so a goal was only worth 2 points or something I’d still keep him and cap him every week

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

      *nerfed Salah

  17. Jafooli

    • 5 Years

  21. Original Sin
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Just checked now, Mount didn't start. Did Havertz to Mount with -4. Was it expected?

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

      He's ill.

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

      I think Mount is ill, but that was sideways knee jerking imo.

  22. DMP
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Went for Mount (-4) and benched Gallagher. Now i get Gallagher of the bench for Mount. lol

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

      Calculated.

      1. Original Sin
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Maybe if Chelsea doesn't score till half time, Mount will be on 2nd half, right?

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

    Sold Gallagher for a hit

    😎

  24. g40steve
    • 8 Years

    No Dino no clean sheet Pep

  25. jack88
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Not sure if pool can keep cs. Brighton arent that bad.

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

    Benteke on the bench was unexpected, but understandable

    I just noticed Maupay's benched too

    Coaches being brutal this season, with big squads everywhere. Love to see it 🙂

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

      Can't have Benteke squandering any big chances that Palace might get away at City

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

    Pool sweating

  28. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Cornet essential

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