Gameweek 12 is the second midweek round of the 2022/23 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) season and follows hot on the heels of Sunday’s action.

Brighton and Hove Albion v Nottingham Forest get us underway at 19:30 BST, with Crystal Palace v Wolverhampton Wanderers three-quarters of an hour later.

Roberto De Zerbi makes just one change from the side that lost 2-0 at Brentford in Gameweek 11, as Adam Lallana replaces Pervis Estupinan, who drops to the bench.

That could potentially see Leandro Trossard line up at left wing-back, although a system change to a back four is another possibility.

As for the visitors, Steve Cooper makes three alterations. In come Serge Aurier, Orel Mangala and Jesse Lingard, with Harry Toffolo, Cheikhou Kouyate and Emmanuel Dennis dropping out.

Neco Williams, meanwhile, is included in the starting XI, with Aurier expected to feature at left-back.

Over at Selhurst Park, Patrick Vieira makes just one change from Saturday’s goalless draw at Leicester City, as Michael Olise comes in for Jordan Ayew.

Managerless Wolves, however, ring the changes. Nathan Collins returns from suspension, while Nelson Semedo, Hugo Bueno and Boubacar Traore are all handed starts.

Jonny is a substitute, but fellow full-back Rayan Ait-Nouri is absent from the matchday squad.

    Long 5 minutes Neco owners...

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Honestly I'm just glad it's not negative points.

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        This, anything more than 1 point is a bonus

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      *3minutes

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Brighton couldn't score if they played til Sunday

  2. AARON-1
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I suppose Trossard will score against Man City when I bench him

    1. SirWenger
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Hattricks when benched

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      This is the way

  3. theodosios
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Last time in my FPL life I own Zaha. What a fraud

    1. SirWenger
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Same

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Tbf he was played through the middle earlier this season

    3. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Say this every season and fall for a good run of fixtures every time. Sterling does the same

      Need to be more stubborn with my ‘never again’ picks.

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        That's because they're actually pretty rubbish footballers so can't be consistent

    4. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Zaha, Digne and Mahrez - three yearly trolls

  4. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

  5. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Come on Forest get a late winner

  6. AARON-1
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I probably shouldn't, but I'm tempted to rage transfer Zaha to Foden...

    1. Ten Season Wonder
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It seems a no-brainer to me.

      I'm also toying with the same idea, but can only fund it by downgrading Toney to Mitro...

  7. Ten Season Wonder
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    getting really frustrated owning Zaha (as I always do)

    1. theodosios
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Most overrated FPL asset in history.

    2. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      2. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

  14. Snake Juice
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Zaha and Trossard to Saka and Foden (2 FTs) will feel SO GOOD.

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Same!!! Good riddance

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yep. Wonder how many will make this identical move.

    3. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Likely doing the same.

      1. _Ninja_
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

    4. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm gonna hit them out, hit them back in, and then hit them out again. Will be so satisfying.

  21. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    The goal alert for the Palace goal gave me a panic attack as a Neco owner...

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years

  25. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Why am I paying a huge premium for Zaha over Eze?

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Group thought

  26. Alcapaul
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Neco Williams outscores Trossard. What a glorious day.

  27. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    That decision to go Zaha over Eze 3 weeks ago gets worse and worse

  28. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Eze my boy!

  29. Pukki Party
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

  30. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago
