2pm team news: Koulibaly and Rashford benched, Zouma absent

Gameweek 11 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues on Sunday, with five more Premier League matches taking place this afternoon.

Aston Villa v Chelsea, Leeds United v Arsenal, Manchester United v Newcastle United and Southampton v West Ham United kick-off at 14:00 BST, followed by a huge game at Anfield where Liverpool host Manchester City at 16:30 BST.

Graham Potter makes three changes from the Chelsea side that beat AC Milan 2-0 on Tuesday. Reece James faces two months on the sidelines with the knee injury he picked up in Italy, while Kalidou Koulibaly and Jorginho drop to the bench. They are replaced by Marc Cucurella, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Kai Havertz.

Opponents Aston Villa make two alterations, as Leon Bailey and Danny Ings come in for Emiliano Buendia and Philippe Coutinho.

Arsenal make seven changes to their Europa League XI, with big hitters Aaron Ramsdale, Gabriel, Thomas Partey, Granit Xhaka, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus all returning.

As for Leeds, Luis Sinisterra is back from suspension and replaces Patrick Bamford, which suggests Rodrigo will be pushed further forward and lead the line.

At Old Trafford, Cristiano Ronaldo returns to Man Utd’s starting line-up, along with Raphael Varane, Fred and Jadon Sancho. That means Marcus Rashford is a substitute, while Christian Eriksen (illness) and Anthony Martial are absent from the matchday squad.

Joelinton comes in for the visitors, returning in place of Joe Willock.

West Ham make five changes from Thursday’s Europa Conference League win over Anderlecht: Lukasz Fabianski, Thilo Kehrer, Tomas Soucek, Declan Rice and Gianluca Scamacca replace Alphonse Areola, Angelo Ogbonna, Flynn Downes, Manuel Lanzini and Said Benrahma.

That means £4.0m Emerson Palmieri continues in the starting XI, potentially as an out-of-position winger, or failing that, a wing-back.

Mohamed Elyounoussi and Ainsley Maitland-Niles come in for hosts Southampton.

        And why not - what more has he to do?

        1. how now brown cow
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 6 months ago

          I agree. Toney is at least the definition of "a handful".

          Great scoring record.

  7. FlockofSeagulls

    34pts on my bench. I'm having an absolute nightmare of a season! Can't get anything right. 🙁

    1. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Why didn't you bench boost? =)

      1. RICICLE

  8. Licky

    Saliba is lucky there.

  9. BobbyDoesNotLook

    I was sure Arsenal cs would be finally lost but somehow it is still there. Why Bamford?

  10. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 6 months ago

    Odegaard off

  11. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Kane captainer, braced for my green arrow to take a beating from big Erling. Nervous now!

    1. SEXY SON
      • 7 Years

      Me too!

  12. SirWenger

    Arsenal CS banked

  13. OptimusBlack
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 6 months ago

    If you have Kane who is best two strikers with him for just GW 11

    1. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      This is gw11. so Toney Haaland.

      Next gw Mitro and a pool striker.

      1. SEXY SON
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        Toney Kane*

        1. _Ninja_
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          1 year, 6 months ago

          He said if you have Kane lol

      2. OptimusBlack

        Thxx

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years

      Ronaldo has the sign over spurs

    3. OptimusBlack
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Guys i mean GW 12

  14. Andy_Social
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 6 months ago

    This is ferocious stuff. Pure Bielsaball.

  15. DeeJazz
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 6 months ago

    I think I would prefer Mason Mount over Trossard. But I have little problem with defender, which defender is worth to take from GW 12 until break ?
    Brighton defenders has good game in GW 12 but then very difficult fixtures.
    So I think about few defenders:
    A) Dalot
    B) Mykolenko
    C) Gomez
    D) Cash
    E) Castagne

    Which defender you will prefer ? Or maybe you have another choice ?

  16. EL tridente
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 6 months ago

    Maddison to Mount?

    1. subhojit123
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      That's the one I just did now.

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Looking to do that.

  17. subhojit123
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 6 months ago

    Guys given Liverpool's fixtures are turning, thinking of bringing back Salah. But only way to get him in would be to sacrifice Kane, who has been performing consistently this season.
    What do you guys think on this? Hold Kane and instead of Salah get someone like Firmino or swap out Kane for Salah ?

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      hold kane

      unless salah looks extremely good today

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Keep the player that keeps getting pts. I'm preferring Firmino and Nunez, probably going for both

  18. SEXY SON
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 6 months ago

    Salah to save our season next

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Milner on pens 🙂

      1. SirWenger
        • 1 Year
        1 year, 6 months ago

        Cannot be and on the other hand Liverpool won't get any

  19. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 6 months ago

    Fake Bruno schooled today by King Bruno G. Had to resort to trying to break his ankle. Cowardly and petulant player. The sooner he is out of the Premier league the better. Scumbag.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Yea a real ray

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        rat*

        1. TheTinman
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 6 months ago

          My most hated player ever

  20. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 6 months ago

    Trossard
    or
    Mount

    is the question

    1. SpaceCoyote97
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Trossard has better fixtures IMO

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        mci CHE after NFO is not optimal

        1. SpaceCoyote97
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 1 Year
          1 year, 6 months ago

          Chelsea have decent teams to play also, Villa was their last easy fixture before the break.

    2. RICICLE
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Still Trossard Imo

  21. F4L
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 6 months ago

    that was one of the jammiest hauls in a while for Mount

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      What was jammy about the freekick?

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        Martinez guessed unnecessarily. Was far out, didn't need to move early, easy save if he doesn't

      2. SEXY SON
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        Keeper should have saved it, especially one of Martinez’ calibre

  22. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    LEE are fighting hard...great to watch. Playing better than ARS.

  23. Bobby Digital

    Need this Arsenal cleanie busted.
    Let's go Leeds!

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      This! So jammy to still have it after pen miss.

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      bamford...

  24. Can’t beat em so&hell…
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 6 months ago

    Is there any world in which I shouldn’t use a FH here…

    Pope
    Trippier/ Williams
    Zaha/ Andreas
    Kane

    (Iverson/Fofana/Cancelo/Saliba/Gundo/ Maddison/Martinelli/ Isaak/ Haaland)

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Already used your WC?

  25. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 6 months ago

    Jesus haul confirmed

  26. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 6 months ago

    Seems Arteta should be pulling Saliba
    Who is the back up?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Holding?

      1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        He should be holding and pulling Saliba? Wrong forum guys.

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 6 months ago

          Koch wants in on this

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      White CB, to play Tierney/Tomiyasu RB - or Holding.

  27. SEXY SON
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 6 months ago

    Why did Rodrigo go off at halftime?

  28. Kane Train
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 6 months ago

    Best Maddison replacement?

    A) Trossard
    B) Gordon
    C) Billing
    D) Andreas

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Tempted by Mount and Trossard

      1. Kane Train
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        Mount scored a great free kick and got a lucky 1st goal thanks to a mings howler. As a big Chelsea fan I can tell u stay away from him

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 6 months ago

          Cheers mate

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Trosser for me
      KDB to Mount

      1. FPL_trail_runner
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        Out of interest why Mount?

        He scored two absolute flukes , 1 in 1000 chance goals

        First : Mings miss hits a simple header to give him a tap in
        2nd : He hits a decent shot which Martinez should have saved

        In another 99/100 days he gets 2 points today- i doubt you would be buying him then

    3. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      billing keeps racking them points

    4. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      A

  29. afsr
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 6 months ago

    Seems half the team is out or in doubt:

    Pope
    Williams, Zouma, Trippier
    Pereira, Bowen,
    Martial*, Mitrovich
    Subs: Iversen

    Out: Haaland, Foden, Cancelo, Maddison, Martinelli, James
    2FT, 4.5 ITB

    A - Maddison, James -> Mount/Trossard, Chilwell (get Nunez/Firmino in GW13 if Martial is not ready)
    B - Maddison, James, Martial -> Mount/Trossard, Chilwell, Solanke (-4)
    C - Maddison, James, Martial -> Salah, Chilwell, Solanke (-4)

    Don't plan to get Jesus, so that forward spot is potentially up for grabs till Qatar

    1. afsr
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Could even potentially go for TAA or Robertson for James

  30. La Roja
    • 12 Years
