With no early kick-off, Gameweek 10 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) gets underway with four 3pm BST matches.

Millions upon millions of armbands will be on Erling Haaland as Manchester City entertain Southampton, while there is plenty of Fantasy interest – and teamsheet disappointment – at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Newcastle United v Brentford and Bournemouth v Leicester City also start at the traditional kick-off time.

Haaland unsurprisingly keeps up his ever-present record for City and there aren’t too many shock team selections from Pep Guardiola elsewhere, save for perhaps Riyad Mahrez starting over the in-form Jack Grealish.

That swap is one of three changes compared to City’s Gameweek 9 line-up, with Ruben Dias and Rodri in for Kyle Walker and Ilkay Gundogan being the other two alterations.

Saints make four changes from last weekend’s team: Romain Perraud, Mohammed Salisu, Ibrahima Diallo and Adam Armstrong replace Juan Larios, Duje Caleta-Car, Ainsley-Maitland-Niles and Sekou Mara.

The headline team news comes from Stamford Bridge, where Graham Potter has run wild with the changes after the midweek win over Milan.

There are a whopping seven alterations from Gameweek 9, with Reece James, Raheem Sterling and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang the highest-profile names to drop to the bench.

Thiago Silva isn’t involved at all.

Conor Gallagher, the fit-again Marc Cucurella and Cristian Pulisic, amongst others, all get a chance to impress.

Opponents Wolves are under caretaker management after Bruno Lage’s sacking, with interim boss Steve Davis making three alterations – two of which are enforced.

Diego Costa, Adama Traore and Toti Gomes are all handed starts, as the injured Pedro Neto, the suspended Ruben Neves and the benched Rayan Ait-Nouri drop out.

It’s two changes apiece at the Vitality Stadium.

Bournemouth boss Gary O’Neil brings in Ryan Fredericks and Ryan Christie for Kieffer Moore and Jordan Zemura, while opposite number Brendan Rodgers recalls Patson Daka and Boubakary Soumare at the expense of the benched Jamie Vardy and the injured Wilfred Ndidi.

At St James’ Park, Newcastle are unchanged but have Allan Saint-Maximin back among the substitutes.

Aaron Hickey, Ethan Pinnock and Josh DaSilva come in for Mikkel Damsgaard, Pontus Jansson and Shandon Baptiste for the visitors.

      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It doens't matter really. City are winning the league by 15-20 points. Arsenal should be looking at top 4.

      1. Herger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Utd will run City close imo

      2. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years

        *2nd

    2. fantasist
      • 15 Years

    Did everyone misinterpret what Conte said about Doherty ?

    He said he couldn't play him as he wasn't fit. He "would be stupid playing Doherty" meaning if he want fit

  12. DannyDrinkVodka

    Really bad decision losing Cancelo on WC

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I did the same. Sold for Foden. Just the way it goes.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I went Walker but he got injured

        Going Kane and Son probably was a mistake unless they don’t explode in next 3

        1. Granville
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I switched Son to Kane.

    2. SHOOTER MCGINN

      Ederson hasn't quite covered him today for me 😀

    Will never own a Chelsea attacker ever again this season, just when I thought sterling will get something and be my differential, he gets benched.

    1. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Hold my beer - took a - 4 for Aubameyang

      Just have to suck it up.

      I have James and it was the same thing for me today.

  15. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
    • 9 Years

    Need Cucu subbed off

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

  16. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years

    Anyone here triple (c) Haaland?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      enough obviously did to tip it to 201 EO.

      So if he doesn't get anything the TC chips lost helps everyone else over the season.

  17. Cruyff's Eleven
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Broja coming on before Sterling and Auba is just a slap in the face, innit

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Inevitable, it's Tuesday night that's the priority

    Back line including Fofana, James, Perisic and Neco isn't ideal. Will take whatever 1 pointers I can get.
