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.

    Neco cs is wondrous, a Costa goal could make this a legendary evening but I'll probably not be greedy and take him getting to 60 mins

  2. Scots Gooner

    Palace are garbage this season

    1. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years

    Zaha to Saka 100% nailed in

    1. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I'm considering either this or to Foden

    2. SirWenger
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Look Zaha's great fixtures...hauls imminents

      1. Sif
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Barely outscoring players with no fixture.

      2. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        He’s pants

    3. Freshy

      Trossard-Zaha to Foden-Saka (1hit)

      1. Rinseboy
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        this surley is the move most will do!

        1. Freshy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          you need 2.0 bank

      2. Strchld
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I'm doing this too. This week Trossard to Saka and next week Zaha to Foden.

        Don't like hits.

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      As soon as you sell he’ll haul, classic troll
      In 20-21 he scored 27 points in the 3 GWs he was most sold for and 11 points for the 6 GWs he was most bought in (with 2x 1 pointers in the two most bought weeks with 500k transfers in)

  4. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Trossard can score a hat trick at Anfield but cant score against Brentford or Forest. How are you meant to predict anything in this game.

    1. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      You can't. It's a game of luck

  5. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Liz Tross out
    Martinelli in

  6. Vermeerish
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Zaha’s movement is weird he never seems to find space he just drifts back towards whoever has the ball

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He is creating space for Eberechi Eze

  7. Zidane's Floor
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Zaha is the best player I've ever seen play football

    1. Boomerang V
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I suppose you never watched football?

  8. Assisting the assister
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I think people want Liz Trossard out now.

    1. Boomerang V
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Trossard -> Foden ready to be triggered

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      always the plan

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Oh blimey that's great.

    4. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      And Kwesi Zahatang

  9. Boomerang V
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    CSs gone now I need one of Kilman orr Andresen to score a header. Maybe in another universe that is not impossible 🙁

  10. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Took a -20 points hit & still a green arrow. Fortune favors the bold!

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Dean Henderson TC?

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Brighton, Nottingham Forest & Eberechi Eze. Salah(C) tomorrow.

  11. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Is there a worse player in FPL when he gets popular and well owned than Zaha?

    Digne another pest!

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Vardy historically

    2. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      James

    3. Sulley
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Mount for me. Every time I hang in for the 1 and 2 pointers. Then he explodes and I fall for it all over again

    4. The Sociologist
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Always Digne

  12. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Went with Dunk and Sanchez double up on free hit so happy with that. Neco first sub.

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

    Mr Lube off

  14. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Paging EEZER GOODE, EBERECHI GOODE

    Verdict on Eze & Zaha at the moment?

    Eze has got a couple of goals recently whereas Zaha providing a few chances to teammates, but less goal threat that earlier in season? But have read he's just in a bit of poor form too.

    Not really been watching & not planning to buy Eze (may sell Zaha in GW14 though) - just curious really.

    1. Zidane's Floor
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Zaha has been getting into a few positions, just not come off for him yet

      Eze not had as many chances imo - just been more clinical

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers. From what I -have- seen (not loads), I know Eze has been a bit deeper - just curious if the wya Palace play was giving him those sorts of chances. If just clinical, fair enough!

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

      Eze has looked great for a while, had two good efforts against Chelsea, had his goal against Leeds and played quite well. Was pretty much the only Palace attacker that looked like making anything happen against Leicester too

  15. Zidane's Floor
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    A Zaha goal would be funny, just to see the switch up on here

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, I would condone my own fickleness with glee

  16. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Wolves just had to concede right at the beginning of the half.

  17. xHaTr
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Neco Williams what a hero

  18. Mo Salah No Mane
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I hate you WelbeCk
    I will never transfer you in again
    Ever!!!!

  19. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    All we can hope for is a pen I think

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No way. He'll miss.

  20. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Zaha always does better v the bigger teams/harder games

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He’ll blank vs. WOL, EVE, SOU, WHU, NFO, FUL, BOU and then score in after game from GW19 once fixtures turn red (TOT, CHE, NEW, MUN, BHA, BRE, LIV, AVL, MCI)

  21. EffPeeEll
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    How many have captained Haaland this GW plz?

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      My rival, with vc on Jesus 😎

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

        I haven't drunk any alcohol so suprising to see it occurring

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I did. Forgot to change it 🙁

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

        who is your VC

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Kane "/ Plan was to cap Salah

    3. Disco Stu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I VCd him with Mo Captain

  22. Babit1967
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Actually knew Captaining Trossard was a bad idea yet I did it anyway lol & sold Neco for Guehi as I figured Forest were losing by a few goals - the house of fpl

    1. Babit1967
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Joys*

      1. N1ceguyEdd1e
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Trossard Captainers Unite (I'm selling for Saka me thinks!!)

  23. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Zaha will score. It's coming.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Told you so!

  24. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    They should award 4 points for a win

  25. Limbo
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Palace without Gallagher =

  26. Crystal Alice
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    any other WCers think Mykolenko could be the pick of the Everton defenders?

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Or just no Everton defenders...

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not sure the best everton defender would be among the defenders I'd want.

  27. FF Dirtbag
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Is Kepa first choice for Chelsea? 4.4mill... Might take a punt

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, his spot to lose
      4.5m after tonight though

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Looks it on this for. Ward as backup will do for now on case Mendy gets a random game.

      Might be better players to target ahead of the World Cup though - our fixtures are a bit mixed & we certainly let up a lot of chances vs. Villa.

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

    That was a lovely move

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

      Really was.

  29. sandman58
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Is Lucas Paqueta with a look?
    Does any West Ham fans care to share their views on him please?

  30. Mid budget coach
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    When Zaha passes the ball it all comes together for Crystal. Should pass more
