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.

      Surprisedbat no Grealish, Bernardo RW Foden LW? Remember Foden v Milner a few years ago, destroyed him

    2. diesel001

      Would have liked to see Jones in for Elliott. Still feel Liverpool is overbalanced too attack, especially with Gomez and Milner in defence and VVD slightly off his best form.

    Taa on the bench it seems.
    Didnt expect that

    1. SEXY SON

      1. Free Hat
        • 5 Years

    Getting Sterling on my WC a few weeks ago really has been a terrible decision

    3. Vlad Tepes

    The Hammers Chat feel that Emerson very much passed the eye test. Said he was great going forward.

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

      Great! I need him to start GW12

    2. Alan The Llama

      Won't need glasses then

  9. diesel001

    1 year, 6 months ago

    Shame. Mount was going to be my transfer in for Maddison. But Mount got his haul in a GW early. May have to look at Zaha now.

        • 7 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        Heavily debating the following options:

        A) Maddison to Mount
        B) Kane + Maddison to Salah (C) + Firmino -4

        Thoughts?

        Firmino is an easy switch to Jesus if need be later.

      • Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        Oh, a ‘plus oner’ in da house….

      • turd ferguson
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        How about this for a mistake. Took Saka out for Maddison last week. Saka gets 15pts + 10pt+ today. Maddison gets suspended for next week.

        Lost out on 25pts+ AND an extra transfer. The difference between 104k and 4k HAHAHAHAHAHAH

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

        I predict FPL points will update once the LEE/ARS second half starts.

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

          Nope. Their powercut must be more severe.

      • Muchentuchel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        Ronaldo is such a clown

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

        Just cant believe TAA is on the bench. He was meant to be out for several games. I could have sold James instead if I had known this!

      • jacob1989
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        Whats wrong with fpl website? Still shoes trippier and dalot 1 point

            • 11 Years
            1 year, 6 months ago

            Must have caught that virus off Leeds on 59 minutes.

      • CheesyZoot
        • 4 Years

        Why is the Arsenal game not restarting?

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

          • 6 Years

        FPL isn’t updating scores.

          • 10 Years

          Thankfully

      • FER FUSCH AKE
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        Why is Man United not attacking the Stretford end in the second half?

        1. Pukki Party
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 6 months ago

          My guess would be it's the goal guarded by De Gea

      • Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        And another ‘plus oner’ joins the party……

        1. Alan The Llama
          • 14 Years

          The world's most tragic party

        Is FPL fooked?

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 6 Years

          Yes

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

          It's back!

      • thegaffer82
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        Saka going straight into my team after the blank.
        Really starting to find his goal scoring touch again. I fancy him to outscore Jesus between now and the end of the season (in FPL points, not goals)

      • Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        Akanji has nailed down that spot it seems

      • La Roja
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        Lewa misses empty net

        1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 6 months ago

          Nobody watches that trash over premier league

          1. Cojones of Destiny
            • 6 Years

            this

      • FER FUSCH AKE
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        If you're a United fan who benched Trippier up vote.

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 6 months ago

          Played Pope and Trippier. United could barely score v Cypriot side midweek, that convinced me to play both.
