In the final match of Gameweek 11, West Ham United host Liverpool at the London Stadium.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

West Ham are unchanged from the XI that beat Aston Villa 4-1 in Gameweek 10.

That means another start for budget defender Ben Johnson (£3.9m) at right-back, with Vladimir Coufal (£4.8m) again having to settle for a place on the bench.

Further forward, Jarrod Bowen (£6.3m), Said Benrahma (£6.4m) and Pablo Fornals (£6.0m) feature in David Moyes’ 4-2-3-1 formation, behind lone forward Michail Antonio (£8.2m).

As for Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp makes four changes from last weekend, with Joel Matip (£5.0m), Fabinho (£5.4m), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (£5.8m) and Diogo Jota (£7.5m) replacing Ibrahima Konate (£5.1m), Naby Keita (£5.0m), Curtis Jones (£5.0m) and Roberto Firmino (£8.9m).

West Ham XI: Fabianski, Johnson, Zouma, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Soucek, Rice, Bowen, Fornals, Benrahma, Antonio

Subs: Areola, Dawson, Coufal, Diop, Masuaku, Fredericks, Kral, Noble, Lanzini

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Henderson, Salah, Mane, Jota

    The international break of patience incoming 🙂

    1. BrockLanders

      Horrible. 99.9% of football fans don't even want it

      1. Gubby-Allen
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        What survey do you base that on?

    2. Londongeezaa
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      International football is such a bore. Every fan I know hates it.

      Also, it’s massively disruptive to the momentum of the Premier League. More Stop/Start’s then London traffic.

      Good to have a rest from FPL tbh
      Fixture congestion gets pretty hectic after it
      E.g. Chelsea have Leicester, Juventus, Man Utd, Watford, West Ham, Zenit, Leeds, Everton, Wolves, Brentford (EFL cup), Villa, Brighton , Liverpool between 20th Nov and 2 Jan or a game every 3.3 days

      1. Londongeezaa
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        But most top tier clubs lose players to respective national teams.

        Players are coming back fatigued to a then hectic schedule

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

          Yeah, it’s more in the FPL context I mean
          December gets a bit hard to keep up with all the games and different deadlines so I’m happy to log out for a week or so now

  2. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Can we scrap two of the three forward spots for two extra defenders?

  3. I am 42
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    hopefully Johnson can cement his place

    You need a strong bench they said...

    *looks at the 26 points on the bench

    1. Jonesfromthere
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      The bench boost was a very clear option, you chose not to go for it.

      1. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yes...thanks

      2. tangtastic
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        thank god we have you to tell us when we're wrong.

        great contribution

        Predicting Foster pen save is quite difficult without help of hindsight.

    2. tangtastic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Aie yi yi..

      The only consolation is that there will be plenty of others in a similar situation. But you have my sympathy

      1. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah true, I've seen a lot in that position. As well, it is what it is!

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      'Tis but a scratch - 38 points here.

      1. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Ooof, that is more than my first team.
        mad week, lots of benched players all scoring highly

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah, me too. BB would have been a triumph!

      2. DannyDrinkVodka
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Ouch, I managed to actually press the BB and am 34 points better off

        1. tiger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Well played! Great return for the BB!

          1. DannyDrinkVodka
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers, left 25 on the bench last week and was fuming!

    4. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      32 here. Can’t say I was tempted to play BB with a non-playing forward and Duffy a possible non-starter… still aggravating to say the least though!

      1. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I was tempted to play BB...but just the idea we have of playing it in a double gw stopped me. Obviously wrong in hindsight, but what can we do!

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

      Pretty similar here, 23 last week. Yet, it's still better to have good bench than not to. Premiums are doing nothing and fair play for those who had and started Pukki over Toney.

      1. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I agree, I chose to have a strong bench for a reason...just one of those things this week!

    Salah blank please.

    1. tangtastic

      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Haha, who did you captain?

      I went for James now I'm hiding behind my sofa

      1. bigwig
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        you're unlucky he coulda had another 20 pointer

        1. tangtastic
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          That Burnley goal killed me.

          Lost 14pts from James+Chilwell

  7. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Any Aubameyang owners out there. I’m so sorry.

    He’s the biggest troll ever when I own him. 3 weeks. 2 missed penalties.

  8. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Hey guys, I don't have enough itb to do Mbeumo to Gallagher, although they would be the dream move.

    Anything doing here? No WC, but 2FT 0.1itb and 5/6 players doing nothing

    Ramsdale Foster
    TAA Cancelo James Chilwell Livramento
    Salah Son Foden Mbeumo Brownhill
    Vardy Toney Hwang

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mburmo has Toon up next. Wait a GW and use a 2FT.

    2. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not tempted by ESR instead?

      1. The-Red-1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Can't afford that move!

  9. Fat Frank

    Liverpool unbeaten run about to end

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      4 goals Antonio please

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I'll take that if Salah scores 3 in a 3-4 defeat.

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Oh yes please, but would prefer if it was Arsenal ending it in 2 weeks.

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        In anfield?
        Last time was 9 years ago or something?.. Easiest fixture ever.

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

          I know. 3-0 loss for Arsenal is my expectation

    3. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Whatever Salah and Trent do or don't do doesn't matter. I'm in the Top 10K and i doubt anyone hasn't capped Mo and has Trent. But i have left Antonio on my bench so I need a blank there!

    4. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Timing

      1. Fat Frank
        • 8 Years

        🙂

  10. Rainer

    Sky showing Salah due a blank...

    1. TKC07
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Auba Pen miss showing Salah hat-trick again.. ???

  11. BeWater
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Come on Jota. Do something other than missing sitters.

  12. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    TAA and Salah hauls won't matter much. Everyone has them.

    Disaster gameweek.

    1. AleksaMaster
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not everyone has TAA

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Then they deserve to suffer

    2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      My bench is having a stormer!!!

  13. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Always seem to have a bad gameweek or silly bench points when there international break so have to chew on in for two weeks rather than one !! Typical FPL!!! haha

  14. Wirtzel Gummidge
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Fire one in today Soucek!

  15. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone not captain the player who has 16 goal involvements in the first 10 gameweeks?

    1. TKC07
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      16 or 17 returns?

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

        Sky says 16 but in FPL it's probably more

  16. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    It's a joke that ESR is not getting bonus. He got the winning goal FFS

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

      It’s coz I brought him in this week mate!! I sincerely apologise!!! Haha

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mate don't get me started, 0 BAPS for ESR while all my rivals get 3 for Raphinas cross!

    3. tangtastic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      its not just based on that tho

    4. BeWater
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'm not sure how Ramsdale ended up with 1 bonus after making one save. Didn't watch the game though so maybe he created a chance.

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        White got 3! ESR scored the winning goal and got a clean sheet, ludicrous

      2. DycheDycheBaby
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah that's bonkers

    5. Londongeezaa
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I bought in ESR this week.

      I’m delighted with his goal and 8 point return. He didn’t offer much else in the game.

      Can’t please everyone.

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        So did I - and Ramsdale - and James. On the downside I took Guaita out in a -8.

    6. xHaTr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Casual pick, deserved a blank this week anyway

    7. Glasner Ball
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Hopefully you also had Gallagher who did bring home the bonus points?

    8. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      To be fair just happy with the return
      One goal with 0.1 xG today
      2.6 xG this season for Saka (1 goal) vs. 1.6 for ESR (4 goals)!

  17. Bobby Digital

    Mo Salah!
    Mo Salah!
    Mo Salah!

  18. Lieutenant Frank Columbo

    4 years, 1 month ago

    Was the greatest trick the King of Trolls ever played, to simply make us believe he doesn’t exist? No. No, I know Vardy is a troll, yet every season I have to take the same troll stroll.

  19. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    (C)ancelo next week?

  20. WVA
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I take it we're not benching ESR away at pool now?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      ESR (liv) vs Livra (nor) for me...

      1. Londongeezaa
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Exact same dilemma. Unless the international cause disruption.

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'm benching Saka, Arsenal are still some way off Liverpool's level

    As a non-captainer of Salah, I want to graciously wish all Salah captainers the best of luck.

    And by luck, I mean I hope he missed 4 penalties and gets 2 yellow cards.

    You're welcome.

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Who did you cap?

        • 15 Years

        James and I regret nothing.

        (ask me again at half time)

  24. WVA
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Has a player ever scored the winning goal, got a clean sheet and not got a bonus point before? No booking either where's Raphina scored, didn't get a clean sheet AND got booked and got 3 lol.
