Following on from Arsenal’s victory in the north London derby, we’ve got five more Premier League matches taking place this afternoon:

(UK times)

The impact of the September internationals is being felt across the country, with a number of players either absent or benched as a result of their involvement with their nations over the last fortnight.

At Anfield, Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez are all substitutes for Liverpool’s clash with Brighton.

Fabio Carvalho and Roberto Firmino instead start alongside Mohamed Salah in attack.

New Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi has kept the tinkering to a minimum, making just one change from Graham Potter’s final starting XI as Albion manager a month ago.

It’s an enforced alteration, too, with Pervis Estupinan coming in for the ill Enock Mwepu.

Potter’s first Premier League line-up as Chelsea boss shows two changes from the side sent out against RB Salzburg.

Ben Chilwell and Wesley Fofana are back in the team, replacing the ill Marc Cucurella and the benched Cesar Azpilicueta.

There’s no Joachim Andersen in the Crystal Palace squad today, while Jean-Philippe Mateta and Jeffrey Schlupp drop to the bench.

Nathaniel Clyne, Odsonne Edouard and Michael Olise are all recalled to the Eagles’ line-up.

Aleksandar Mitrovic is fit enough to start for Fulham despite picking up a knock or two while representing Serbia but there are three enforced alterations with Willian and Kenny Tete injured and Joao Palhinha suspended.

In come Layvin Kurzawa, Nathaniel Chalobah, Daniel James and Kevin Mbabu, while Issa Diop is benched.

Callum Wilson returns to the Newcastle United starting XI in place of the injured Alexander Isak.

Sven Botman, Jacob Murphy and Sean Longstaff are also recalled as Matt Targett, Ryan Fraser and Joelinton have to make do with substitute rules.

The busiest manager of the day is Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl, who makes six changes from Saints’ last match.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles, £4.0m defender Juan Larios, Duje Caleta-Car, Joe Aribo, Stuart Armstrong and Sekou Mara are the players brought into the team.

Jordan Pickford, Seamus Coleman and Dwight McNeil replace Asmir Begovic, the injured Nathan Patterson and the surprisingly benched Anthony Gordon in Frank Lampard’s three alterations.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin misses out yet again.

Bournemouth make one change from the side that earned a draw at Newcastle in Gameweek 8.

Kieffer Moore is in for Ryan Christie, so it’ll be interesting to see where exactly Dominic Solanke lines up.

Visitors Brentford make two changes from the side that were well beaten by Arsenal last time around.

Mikkel Damsgaard and Shandon Baptiste are in for Josh Dasilva and Aaron Hickey.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years

      1. Cojones of Destiny
        • 7 Years

    4. chocolove

  12. HollywoodXI
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I’m on 4 from 6. I rule.

  13. Gubby-Allen
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    If I had played Ben White instead of Reece James, I would have had 11 players and the first sub, all at home.

  14. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Going Wilson over Toney this week gone well so far!!… have Mitrovic too tho

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, Mitro isn’t scoring I don’t think. Not seen the Brentford game. Wilson will always score if fit, but how long will he be fit for us the problem FPL wise with such a rigid transfer structure

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        That’s is with Wilson mate I’m fully prepared for the inevitable!! If I can get the next 3 after today out of him I’ll be thrilled!!

      2. TRIPOS TOPPER
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah I'll stick my neck out and say Mitro may not score any point today 🙂

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Don't say that. You have to believe.

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

          Is his injury a serious one mate??

        3. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Haha! I actually missed that mate! But it’s very loud and lairy in the bars

          1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Haha good times mate!!!!!

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nice punt mate, Wilson can be so awkward because you know he'll break down again but getting him in the good times can be great

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks mate!! Chuffed with it so far!!! That’s is mate it’s inevitable he will get Injured again so just gotta enjoy the good moments even more haha

    3. Steinburg FC
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      was so close to going wilson but went Vardy...

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Vardy was my other option mate!!! I think you’ll be rewarded handsomely with Vardy this week so wouldn’t worry at all mate

  15. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Miggy Almiron Almiron, Miggy Almiron!!

    😀

  16. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Wtf is Silva doing???? Taking off 2 defenders on HT stoppage time ?

  17. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Sad to see how Pickford killed VVDs career. Same goes for Southgate and Trent.

    1. Qaiss
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Or the midfield aren’t protecting him as well this season

      Or he’s very good but just not as good as Terry, Kompany, etc

    2. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nobody was saying that last season when they were chasing the quad, but sure blame pickford for vvd not being at it this year

    3. Third Eye Vision
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I don’t know if you’re being serious, but you definitely amused me.

      Thanks.

  18. Silecro
    • 8 Years

    Mitro > Wilson for free?

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yaaay

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Kane!

  19. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Feel bad for Palace man, Silva should’ve been sent off then he stays assisting Auba and injuring Clyne at the same time

  20. Santi sensei
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Relax Hauland will save us tmr

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I need Maddy 18pter on Monday

      1. Dammit_182
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Madders to the rescue

  21. Prinzhorn
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Where is Andersen at Palace? Good thing I benched him but still.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      injured

  22. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Quite a goal from Almiron

  23. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Thank you Mitro for the 2 points in the 2 games I have owned you (ignoring the postponed GW7) 😀

  24. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Kane or Salah??

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Kane has returned in everybgame except GW1...

    2. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      The decision is Kane or KDB imo. Salah is not worth atm

    3. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Kane. Cheaper, reliable

    4. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Kane

    5. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I watched Spurs earlier. Just watching Liverpool now so I'll probably be able to give a better answer then.

      But for now I'd say Salah has got more about him, but Liverpool just aren't ticking.

      1. Haalander
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Totally agree. Salah actually moving in more from wide than he has been. Liverpool just don’t have the intensity they had

    6. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Kane by far
      Salah not justifying his price atm

    7. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Salah, Kane can’t stay this lucky for long

  25. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    13 from 8, really enjoyed the international break

  26. Totalfootball
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Can't believe....Waited 2 weeks for this sh**show

  27. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Oh great, just realised Mitronis off and also with a booking after taking Jesus out for him as part of a -4, I love FPL.

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Mitrovic*

    2. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I nearly got Mitro in for Jesus but got Toney instead - delighted with my one extra point for not going Mitro

  28. They are eating the dogs
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Wildcarding was a mistake. I subbed Jesus and Kane for Toney and Mitrovic. Their combined score in GW9 is 0.

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Shocking isn’t it, I’m still glad to be rid of Jesus with upcoming schedule and blank, but still stings

      1. They are eating the dogs
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I'm glad I kept Martinelli.

  29. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Well, that was't a good WC start.

    Either of my first 2 players on bench currently outscoring all 5 I have in my team combined. Patreon subscription details to follow.
