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.

    Didn’t realise Cornet was a mid, might have to take a look….

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

      Handy Sarr replacement if he blanks again

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Chelsea away next week mind.

    2. Butcher

  2. Forza Papac

    Result in the bag for Burnely. Brentford may as well keep Mbuemo on the bench. Wouldn't want to aggravate that hammy in a meaningless game

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Who’ve you got on the bench?

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

        Gallagher 🙂

    When people ask me if I like football, I say yes, I do like football. But not Burnley. Burnley can f*** off. (Will McKensie)

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

    City looking frustrated understandably. Just hope we don't try sit on this whole of next half 😀

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      With the pace ye have it’s probably your best bet to sit on it and counter

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

    Cornet is too good for Burnely, and I'm a Burnley fan 😀

  6. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Pool CS gone

  7. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years

    Mwepu G

  8. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Can't remember a single instance where a player like Toney would go up .3 in weeks he has scored no points.

    Is this just the hivemind of people basing their decisions on twitter and youtube videos?!

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

      Fixtures I guess

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Even so, he's a player that has no pedigree outside the championship.

    2. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      fixtures, stats, price + the fact there are like 0 viable alternative forwards.

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Plenty of viable forwards and mids if you change formation that have returned in the last few weeks which was my point

  9. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Liverpool CS busted

  10. La Roja
    • 14 Years

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

    We have TAA for his goals and assists and not CSs

    1. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      No, if he is 7.5 you need him to get cs too. But as a Liverpool fan the most important is win.

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

    What a lovely goal Mwepu.

  20. Rainer

  23. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Everyone owns Trent anyway

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

      Not me, but I’ll do next week

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

      Bought him for a hit this week lol

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

      Chilwell covering his points pretty nicely tbh

  24. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Gw sent from hell

  25. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Even the best fell into the Brentford trap. Fabio Borges has three Brentford (Raya, Mbeumo and Toney), for example. Understandable based on the stats and how Brentford were playing. Sometimes it don't work out how you expect.

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

    Get in trent cleanie wiped, best thing this GW

  27. Viprin
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    A Newcastle goal to top it all off needed

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

      Yup … to wipe all my end all my CS … to be fair, I’ll take it … everyone has a Chelsea defender but many have 2 .. so come on Newcastle get a goal.

  28. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Oops my hit to get Trent not looking so wise now

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

      45 min to go, could easily assist and score

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

        He better do

  29. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    That’s some strike

  30. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Trent Cancelo Dias massive fail
