The best two sides of recent Premier League seasons do battle at 16:30 BST on Sunday, as Liverpool meet Manchester City at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp makes five changes from the side that lost 3-2 at Arsenal in Gameweek 10, with James Milner, Joe Gomez, Andrew Robertson, Fabinho and Harvey Elliott all coming into the starting XI.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is among those who drop out, but he does make an earlier-than-expected return from injury, as he takes his place among the substitutes alongside Darwin Nunez.

Ibrahima Konate, meanwhile, is absent from the matchday squad.

As for Man City, Pep Guardiola makes just the one change from last weekend’s 4-0 win over Southampton, as Ilkay Gundogan comes in for Riyad Mahrez.

That means Erling Haaland leads the line as expected, but Jack Grealish has to settle for a place on the bench.


GAMEWEEK 11 LINE-UPS

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Milner, Gomez, van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Thiago, Elliott, Salah, Jota, Firmino

Subs: Kelleher, Henderson, Jones, Tsimikas, Darwin, Carvalho, Bajcetic, Phillips, Alexander-Arnold

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Akanji, Dias, Ake, Cancelo, Rodri, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Bernardo, Foden, Haaland

Subs: Ortega, Grealish, Laporte, Alvarez, Gomez, Mahrez, Palmer, Lewis, Wilson-Esbrand

        sorry .. wrong thread

    Thoughts on this FH team?

    Pope
    Robertson Chilwell Trippier
    Salah Mount Zaha Trossard
    Kane Mitrovic Solanke

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Solid.

      1. FPL_trail_runner
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Wilson over Solanke
        Dunk over Chillwell

    2. mdm
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      TAA instead of Robbo

  3. umerlfc
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    -8 before WC13?

    KDB + Maddison + Jesus - > Salah + Trossard + Wilson

  4. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I'm considering 3 defenders to replace Patterson.

    A) Guehi (best fixture, cheapest for most flexibility)
    B) Gomez (Liverpool might be back? Differential)
    C) Doherty (would be a double down with Dier plus the upside)

    Which would be best?

    1. Z
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      They are all differential, Doherty is the greatest risk, so B or A

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I like B although I maybe bias as I've got A already

    3. Total Foot 5
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Why not castagne over guehi? Better form and stats

      1. Z
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Beacause they dont play defence 🙂

      2. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I could go Castagne. But Leicester defense is a bit meh.

        1. Total Foot 5
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          yep, saw that, castagne getting those #s the hard way, given lei at bottom.of table. Thinking leicester play better . Also he is playing on the ledt, so has that upside attacking. But guehi also ok, better supporting cast from cry dfence

    4. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

    5. No Salah
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Was looking at Gomez myself, he was superb today.

      But was surprised to see TAA back- does this mean any minutes risk for Gomez? Need him to play 12,13,14

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah he is a risk and not that much upside either. I'm unlikely to go there on reflection. Just a bit of buzz after the big game.

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Who Gomez? He played well for few games I watched and with next good fixtures nothing could go wrong at his price?

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            I guess not. I could do worse than Gomez. Looks like Konate isn't fit either and it's really only the next two games or so.

            1. Magic Zico
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Yep - I may use FT for Neco > Gomez. If lucky enough can still play him GW13/14 then he can sit down somewhere ...

      2. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Other CBs fit now? Where are Matip and Konate?

    6. F4L
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      depends what the deal is with Konate and Matip, B seems the best choice

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        This

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

      A, feels a pretty nailed on CS for them next week, Wolves racked up 0.5 npxG at home to Forest. Then remaining fixtures are all clean sheetable.

  5. JBG
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Isn't Mount a rotation risk this GW with his injury situation before today and playing 90mins?

    1. Johnjo
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'm hoping not as planning to bring him in for Madison. He's due to rise tonight too.

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah planning this myself, don't mind the rise, have something like 2m something itb.

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      yeah, or at the very least limited minutes, United and Salzburg are massive games straight after

  6. Z
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Kane C + Slah (mby the most meaningful goal in like 5 FPL seasons) 66pts....what a GW!!!

  7. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    James, KDB, Maddison and Jesus to Guehi, Salah (c), Zaha and Kane locked in.

    Minus 8.

  8. Marshall96
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Should I take hit or free hit, 1FT

    Pope
    Trippier dunk coufal
    Maddison zaha Bailey kdb
    Haaland scammaca mitro

  9. Siva Mohan

    took 1 HIT to field 11 players

    Ward
    TAA | Cucu | Trippier | Perisic
    Mount | Almorin | Tossard | Andreas
    Toney | Kane
    Ramsdale* | Haaland* | Martinelli* | Cancelo*

    Good to go?

    1. Bluetiger1

      GTG

  10. Zoostation
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Team is a mess. -4 already taken but can only field 10 players.

    Just hold or play -8?

    Leno (Ward)

    Trippier N Williams Castagne Webster

    Salah (C) Sterling Andreas

    Mitrovic Toney

    Haaland Maddison Cancelo Martinelli

    1. SirWenger
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Martinelli to Mount

      1. Zoostation
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Ya the math doesn’t work out

    2. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Maddison for Trossard -4 and get Foden or Saka next

    3. Z
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Madison - Trossard and then Trosard into Foden

  11. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Long live the Invincibles! Almost 20 years on and no team still close to match the feat. And will probably be sometime before that happens again. To not lose even once throughout the season is not a piece of cake.

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Chelsea were close .. lost 1 game in a season (against man City I think 1 - 0)

      1. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Close, but not close enough 😉

        1. Siva Mohan
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          you said "no team still close" .. they were close enough

          1. The Philosopher
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            They were close, but not close enough. Close enough is to be the second team behind Arsenal to have actually done it.

            1. The Philosopher
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              A word missed, but you know what I meant

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      We were a proper team. Led by a visionary manager. They don't make them like that anymore.

  12. One More Hit
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Putting out 10 tops next week but (C) Salah so we'll see

  13. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Is this team G2G for GW12 or would you make any changes to it

    Ward

    Williams Mings Dier Trippier Dunk

    Son Eze Peirera

    Kane Toney

    Henderson Haaland Foden Martinelli

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    No WC FT used doing KDB > Son

  14. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    8 players today. 8 blanks. Very enjoyable.

  15. chocolove
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Kane (C) beautiful done.
    Sometime we need to be bold.

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Congrats to you too. Needed that to move up the ranks. Great week.

      1. chocolove
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yes. Halve my rank from 200k to 100k

  16. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    James to?

    A) Guehi
    B) Gomez
    C) TAA
    D) Doherty
    E) Dunk/Webster

    1. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Robertson

    2. mdm
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      TAA easy

  17. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on these two plans?
    I have KDB and Madd to replace, rather set on KDB to Salah, which leaves me with:

    1) Madd to one week punt, like Tross, to be replaced by Foden next week - means keeping Zaha

    2) Madd to some longer term option like Mount/Bowen - Zaha to Foden next week

    Tbh more sold on 2) now but happy to hear any opinions!

    1. jonnybhoy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      1

    2. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      KDB to Salah - agree

      Option 1

    3. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Just 1) ain’t really wasting FTs?

    4. Johnjo
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'm thinking of doing exactly the same and am looking at 2 with Mount. Zaha has been dissapointing whereas Mount is in form. Main doubt is whether he might be rested next game though.

  18. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    So let's answer the question on everyone's lips:

    A. Mount(bre)
    or
    B. Trossard(NFO)

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      B

  19. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Gomez is he nailed or stand in?

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      stand in

    2. jonnybhoy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I think nailed now hes been solid when played and liverpool need defensive stability. MOTM for me today. I think he stays in there

  20. Ruudy Van
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Wildcarding in GW13.
    1FT, 3.0ITB GW12 how many of the below 3 would you sell? Salah the obvious buy and who else?

    A) James
    B) Maddison
    C) Jesus

    Raya
    Cancelo nico dunk trippier James*
    Son Zaha Andreas Maddison*
    Greenwood Jesus*
    (Ward Martinelli cancelo Haaland)

  21. faux_C
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Jeeeez, a game and a result to make you remember that FPL is the side dish, not the main course. Amazing!

  22. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    -8 KDB & Cancelo > Salah & Robbo?

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

    2. jonnybhoy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Would do KDB to salah wouldnt do the other

    3. mdm
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, but why not TAA instead of Robbo?

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        TAA is he not 100 yet

  23. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Think I'll go VVD over Robbo. Nailed for 90 mins and a threat a set pieces. Not convinced Robbo and TAA will get the same number of assists as last season with no Mane in the team and now Jota injured. Plus Robbo getting subbed off more and just back from injury. Thoughts?

  24. Z
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I must admit that i am so happy that i will have 11 players in next GW wo hits

  25. Halftime
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I can't field a full team for GW12 without taking a -4 for Patterson to someone. I know taking hits for defenders is not usually a good idea but is it acceptable to make 11 starters?

    1. Z
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      What is your plan?

      1. Halftime
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Maybe a Palace defender, Wolves are not scoring too much. I have Robertson already.

  26. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Are either Trent or Robbo safe to definitely start the next GW?

    1. mdm
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      TAA and Tsimi next gw

  27. confused01
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Gw12
    Pope (Ward)
    Trippier Andersen Perisic Neco (Cancelo)
    Rashford Andreas Marti Maddison (Foden)
    Kane Mitro (Haaland)

    Looking to get rid of Maddi and Marti but who for? Budget is 16.5m ...

    1. Z
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Madison -> Trossard and then sell him and get Foden

      Keep Martineli or get Zaha

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Mount Trossard? Zaha Trossard? Mount Almiron?

  28. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Mount brace makes decision a bit less straightforward, Mount or Trossard for Maddison? Mount still can play GW13, Trossard may need to go or benched.

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Same dilemma, just don’t like wasting FTs so Mount would be nicer long term, I’m also still considering Bowen and Paqueta

  29. They are eating the dogs
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    James+Maddison->Robertson+Mount?

    1. mdm
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, but TAA instaed of Robbo

  30. chocolove
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    James, Diaz, Maddison for - 4 to
    A. TAA(C), Trossard, Mount
    B. Salah (C), Schar, Bailey

    It should be A right?

    1. mdm
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Right

    2. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Captain GW12 I would go Trossard
