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.

    This game week is not filling me with confidence for next game week.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      wait until gw27

    2. Andy_Social

      1 year, 6 months ago

      If you get 8 fit players out you'll be ahead of the pack.

  2. SEXY SON

    No Blowen for Bowen then, you’ve missed out mate

    1. OptimusBlack

      🙁

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I think he blanked on purpose. Didn't want it.

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

    some more goals would be good

  4. Our Tiny Windows
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    My Jesus captain is seeming disasterous.

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

      Leeds game is 15 minutes behind the others, still a bit of wiggle room.

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

      Why’d you do that? Wasn’t he a doubt to play?

      1. Our Tiny Windows
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        Never switched onto him being a doubt and Leeds are diabolical.

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

    Having a bit of a brainfart, if two players are tied for 3 bonus pts, does anyone else get any or do they hog them all?

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

      Shared out still

    2. Vlekz
        1 year, 6 months ago

        3rd person gets 1 bonus. If multiple are tied for that spot. All get 1 bonus

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

        3rd player gets 1

      • thegaffer82
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        The person in 3rd position will get 1 point

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

        Thanks all

    3. Eleven Hag

      Looks like no team is whipping boys any more, all three of BOU, NFO and Leeds have tightened up significantly in recent weeks.

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

        Leeds still have plenty of time to get whooped

        1. Eleven Hag
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 6 months ago

          May be this game, but in general they have been okay at the back.

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

        Nah, Nottingham are whipping boys, they lost to the mild-mannered Wolves.

        1. Eleven Hag
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 6 months ago

          Their tactics have changed and aren't running like headless chickens and now looks to be prioritizing defense first like most other bottom teams.

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

        To be fair Forest were still weak yesterday, just Ait-Nouri and Traore were terribly wasteful

      What is Haaland EO this week?

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

    5. mdm
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Was Schar injured?

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

        Yes, dunno how bad it is though.

    6. Alan The Llama
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Jeez, this isn't good for my heart.

      1. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        Llamas would eat a low cholesterol diet though so I think you're ok.

    7. La Roja
      • 12 Years

      • 1 Year
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Rashford what fkin clown

    10. _Gunner
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Best midfielder (plays in next gameweek ) for up to 5.7?

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

        Almiron or Mac Allister

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

      So is Rashford bad or just unlucky?

    12. Alan The Llama
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      As a Pope, Trippier and Dalot owner, that could've gone worse.

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

        Very nice

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

      Pope and Trippier cleanies. Never in doubt.

    14. Ten Hag of Bud
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Cares more about feeding peasant kids than playing football.

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

        Liz Truss on the forum guys.

      2. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        To be honest - which is more important? Clue: it ain't football related.

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

      Where's the guy that said Brighton defenders are better than Trippier ?

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

      Trippier my best buy since gw1.

    17. Josh.E
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      trashford thanks!

    18. Thanos
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Leeds penalty??

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

      This is an insane week for goalkeepers.

      Almost all the popular goalkeepers kept a clean sheet and a lot of them got double digits.

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

        Still gotta respect my rival who used his transfer to sell Pope for Sa.

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

        my FT was Raya (10) to Kepa (10)
        Ive done worse

    20. La Roja
      • 12 Years

      Leeds peno incoming

      Phew...Trippier's CS in the bag. Now I can breath. Hopefully Ramsdale will do the same.

      Saliba handball - pen to Leeds

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

      Minus 8 about paying off:

      Trent TBC (0/1)
      James (0)
      Murphy (1)

      Dalot (9)
      Doherty (6)
      Bowen (2)

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

        Actually I’d have played Andreas and Neco so 7+8 = 15 vs 17 so 2 points better off

    24. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Trippier 8 points get in!

      1. Mr. O'Connell
