There are three Premier League matches kicking off at 14:00 BST today – Arsenal v Watford, Everton v Tottenham Hotspur and Leeds United v Leicester City.

Mikel Arteta makes one change from Gameweek 10, as Ainsley Maitland-Niles (£5.3m) comes in for Thomas Partey (£5.0m), who is out with a tight groin.

That means Nuno Taveres (£4.3m) keep his place at left-back, with Kieran Tierney (£4.8m) on the bench, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.1m) leads the line alongside Alexandre Lacazette (£8.3m), having scored six goals in five Premier League appearances against Watford.

Claudio Ranieri makes five changes, with Kiko Femenia (£4.4m), Danny Rose (£4.2m), Nicolas Nkoulou (£4.5m), Ozan Tufan (£5.0m) and Emmanuel Dennis (£5.2m) all amongst the starting XI.

At Goodison Park, Antonio Conte takes charge of his first Premier League game as Tottenham Hotspur Head Coach, and sticks with the same XI that beat Vitesse on Thursday.

Rafael Benitez, meanwhile, makes three changes from Gameweek 10, with Lucas Digne (£5.2m), Fabian Delph (£4.4m) and Anthony Gordon (£4.5m) replacing Mason Holgate (£4.2m), Jean-Philippe Gbamin (£4.5m) and Alex Iwobi (£5.8m).

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£8.0m) and midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.4m) remain on the sidelines. 

Elsewhere, Leeds United make just one change, with Adam Forshaw (£4.5m) coming in for Jamie Shackleton (£4.5m), while Brendan Rodgers has benched Kelechi Iheanacho (£7.0m) and James Maddison (£6.7m), with Ademola Lookman (£6.0m) and Harvey Barnes (£6.5m) flanking Jamie Vardy (£10.8m) up front.

    Is Kane a hold or time to get rid ? Ronaldo v Watford the alternative

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

      If you’ve got him surely you can’t get rid with those fixtures coming up

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

      I own Ronaldo. Have a tough decision over the IB now whether to keep for Watford or move to Kane.

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

      Get cr7

    4. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Ditch the premium forwards altogether mate, horrific value

  2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Typical FPL!! Got the Watford goalkeeper combo on Wildcard gameweek 4 and got no points really and the week I finally make a keeper change Foster gets a haul!!! Haha I was so pleased with my Guaita 6 points last night!!!

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Good move moving forward

  3. WVA
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    1 goal from Ronaldo Lukaku and Vardy in the last 13 combined game weeks for me!

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

      Here he is...

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

        That's pretty nuts though

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

          I’ve got you bro, people say we moan but they don’t have our luck and need to moan 🙂

          1. Yozzer
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            With SS it is just constant, every week you guarantee he will be here with his hard luck stories

            1. badgerboy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Fudgy would be proud.

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

      Try some Kane & Toney action

  4. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Salah(C), Trent and Jota. Big Liverpool performance needed

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

    I need to get Cancelo.

    Livramento, Benrahma and Toney to Cancelo, Gallagher and Broja worth it?

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

      You want to sell livra?

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

        Nope. My defence is Taa, Chillwell, James, Reguillon and Livra. Need Cancelo but seems strange to sell any of those?

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

          Sell reguilon if you are desperate for Cancelo

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

            Even with those fixtures and Conte playing him wing back? Could have scored today…

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

              Cancelo is better than him. Livra is an insane value. Chelsea full backs...trent..are must

  6. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    think son and kane are still worth a punt?

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

      I shall be selling Son for Jota

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Need to see some spark. I'm thinking Jota may be better value than Son. Liv forward, in a more attacking side, for 7.5 with a nice run.

      It's also easier for me to get from Vardy to Kane, then Ron (if required)

  7. Under my Cucurella
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    18 points on the bench this week. Whole bunch of blanks and minuses in the starting 11.

    1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      25 here mate with Antonio still to sit through too!!!

    2. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Rival has 39

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

      Brownhill and Tsimikas on my bench. Have a starting XI every-week and I managed to bench 17 points in total for the whole of October

    4. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Similar here. Other than TAA, all my defenders have kept a clean sheet and both keepers returned points, first and last time that'll happen i'm guessing

    5. SouthCoastSaint
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I imagine there are tonnes of high scoring benches out there this week. Starting 11s all predictable. Some “tough” and “easy fixtures” leading to Man City defenders getting benched and people back Brentford etc.

      17 here!

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

    5 players in this West Ham-Liverpool game, 0-0 or 4-4 let's go

  9. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Current lms stats?

  10. One More Hit
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Vardy has been an absolute bust for me. Play your own game etc.

    I was adamant he’d return against Arsenal, and plenty on here thought Leeds was an ideal game too.

    Is it worth hanging onto White as the fixtures turn?

    1. fusen
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Vardy is the ultimate boom or bust. He had his little run, has now blanked in this run and at some point, probably after all of us owners sell him, start scoring every game again.

      I've owned White all season and won't get rid. Great option at his price.

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

      Vardy, has never ever got an attacking return for me in all my years of FPL. I'm sorry, its my fault for bringing him in.

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        and mine. I have owned him probably 15 games ish over 3 seasons and has NEVER returned.

    3. Dammit_182
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      30 yesterday, now 43 with salah (c) and TAA to come. Not massive but Gallagher, Guita, James and ESR did well.

    4. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I’m seriously tempted to sell and spread funds. Looks like I missed his purple patch

      1. One More Hit
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I think that’s it, there’s no obvious replacement (other than maybe Lukaku after the IB).

        I’d sooner have Son than Kane. Might be time to go crawling back to Jota and look at a fodder option for third striker

  11. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    A Trent haul now would be sweeeeet

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

      Antonio last on my bench. None in my bench has failed so far, so do expect Antonio to score also.

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

    After today's games, I expect most peoples scores are looking a lot healthier?

    What was your score yesterday pre-Sunday games, and what are you looking at now going into WHU vs LIV?

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      33 yesterday, 44 now after Saka, Ramsdale (good), Vardy. TAA and Salah to go

  13. Tango74
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Dam.

    Who should I get in now

    Son or Kane, want to sell Bruno!

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

      Avoid

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

      Probably hold Bruno for Watford? Spurs still a mess.

    3. No Salah
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I wish I had Bruno for Watford!

    4. Tango74
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks for replies.

      Have 2ft

      Toney is cheesing me off !

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

      I was looking at Mount > Son, but now I'm thinking Vardy > Ronaldo

    6. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Rather keep Bruno

  14. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Policy re transfers over international break: early to catch/avoid price rises, or late to assess fitness?

    1. Dragon Arcana
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Late for me.

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

      Depends if you're playing for points or TV...

    3. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      early, but i often find the rise isnt that good, sort of tails off especially when its been a poor scoring week

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

      Late, but for me it's the same every week.

    5. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Is that the case every week?Anyway wait if you can otherwise pull trigger if priced out

      1. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        This

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

      Always lots of yellow flags over the international break, I would wait.

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

      I spent one on Gallagher to pickup the rise. He doesn't play INT football so I thought it worth it.

      Will be saving my other freebie for as long as I can

    8. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Always late
      Price rises dry up quickly after day 1 anyway

    9. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Later for me

      Price rises spike during/directly after a gw, then stall and rise again just preceding the next gw. That's what I've observed is the pattern.

  15. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Come on Salah (C) / Benrahma / Cresswell lets do this!!

  16. Dragon Arcana
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Wow 3 bonus for Foster 3 for Raph and 1 for Ramsdale, this week is being way too good to me. Bench booster.

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Nice, well played!

    2. The Final Boss
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Wow

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      3 for Raph? Wtffffffffff

  17. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Benching Foster, Cancelo and Raphinha wasn’t my best FPL moment. Only Antonio to top it off now.

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      can understand foster, cancelo less so and raphina youre on your own

    2. Dragon Arcana
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Ouch, who did you play ahead of raph? Strange bench that

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Saka. And yes, it makes no sense, I know. It was a gut feeling.

    3. SouthCoastSaint
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Bonkers bench bar foster. I had Armstrong and Dias so I’ll stop throwing stones in my glass house!

    4. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Foster, White, Livramento with Antonio to go here mate not too far behind you!! It’s would be better if FPL gave you a bench boost chip to score too activate at the end of the gameweek and you have just the one all season and scrap the current bench boost format

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Hehe 🙂

  18. I am 42
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    those with Mbeumo and Toney

    what's your plan?

    keep for another game week?

    transfer both out?

    transfer 1 of them out? if so which 1?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Mbeumo will be gone for me for Jota either next week or week after. I'll grudgingly keep Toney as I need a body to fill that spot

      1. I am 42
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        toney to saints forward?

        1. Pep's Money Laundry
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Yes thats possible but I own vardy & auba. I'm looking at offloading auba for Broja

      2. FantasyClub
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        That’s pretty much why I’m electing to keep Toney over Mbeumo. There are players we can fill in Mbeumos place but not really for Toney

    2. SouthCoastSaint
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Keep for Newcastle 100%

      People being way too knee jerky

      1. I am 42
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        my plan was to transfer havertz to son

        I might get jota instead

        1. SouthCoastSaint
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Get the better player. Jota is too wasteful. Son will get less chances but is far more clinical.

          Glad he did nothing today so I can wait on doing that too can’t transfer in 2 weeks

      2. FantasyClub
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I’ve had Mbeumo for three weeks against NOR, BUR & LEI blanks. Not really that knee jerky considering opposition and how poor Brentford have been. But I can also understand a hold only because of the fixtures.

        1. SouthCoastSaint
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Unlucky with injury and a marginal offside cost him a goal.

          I won’t be booting ahead of Newcastle

    3. FantasyClub
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I have both and will most likely transfer Mbeumo

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

      Will get rid of both over next 2/3 weeks. One will have to play next week unfortunately!

  19. The Final Boss
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Guys currently on 217k red arrow from 202k I have salah taa Antonio remaining.. Any hope for a green arrow? Salah cap though.

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      You'll need some TAA attacking returns I reckon.

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

    I am keeping vardy. Because no other alternative. Fixtures are good after Chelsea.

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Will be typical Vardy to haul against Chelsea tbf

  21. SouthCoastSaint
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone watch spurs v everton who is still awake to provide some reguilon feedback? Fancy getting him in for semedo

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

      He was ok

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Emerson looked better

  22. Random Name
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    You cannot overstate the impact of having a top class goalkeeper in goal that instills confidence in the entire team.

    So happy we don't have to suffer and watch Leno put on a weekly circus performance

    1. SouthCoastSaint
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Ramsdale very nearly cost arsenal the game FYI

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

        He got away with it and has hopefully learned a lesson.

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Funny how sentiment has turned around Ramsdale from Arsenal fans compared to when they first signed him!

      1. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        They're beginning to accept their level.

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

    The way this week has gone, I am clueless what to do during itb. Looks like saving a transfer isn't a bad idea. My bench haa just hauled again.

    1. SouthCoastSaint
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Wait for the inevitable injury/ covid transfer

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

        Yes, finding it hard to find decent targets to get. Jota, Mane, Foden and Stones + Gallagher perhaps. But basically without Salah or Son injury I can't afford them without a hit.

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

          Just take hits, I do, it’s fun lol

  24. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years

    If Liverpool can win by 10, then Arsenal will be in the top 4 tonight.

      Yeah, I am only saying this as it we are rarely in this position.

      But if Palace didn't concede those last-minute goals against Arsenal and Brighton, we'd be 4th lol 🙂

      Still the best times since 1990-91 season (two years before the premiership when we finished 3rd)

      Really enjoying it!!

    Anybody thinking about Smith Rowe. Dont bother. Its a purple patch that has to soon end. Youve already missed his points. Target someone else.

      You’re trying to convince yourself not to get him in lmfao

    I am a tough Chairman and might sack myself before the IB.

    31 followed by 32 points on the bench without a Bench Boost being played is frankly not good enough 🙂
