Five more Gameweek 12 matches take place on Wednesday evening, with Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur following on from four 7.30pm BST kick-offs.

As predicted/feared, Jurgen Klopp and Graham Potter have made several changes this evening with the games coming thick and fast.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Fabio Carvalho, Kostas Tsimikas, Jordan Henderson and Darwin Nunez are all recalled by the Liverpool boss at Anfield tonight, with James Milner, Harvey Elliott, Andy Robertson and Fabinho benched and Diogo Jota now sidelined for months.

David Moyes gives Flynn Downes his first Premier League start for West Ham, while the fit-again Kurt Zouma and Pablo Fornals also return. Vladimir Coufal and Emerson Palmieri are demoted to substitute duty, while Lucas Paqueta has reportedly picked up a shoulder injury and is set for a spell out.

In west London, Graham Potter has matched Klopp in making five changes from the side that began the 2-0 win at Aston Villa at the weekend.

Out go Thiago Silva, Ben Chilwell, Mateo Kovacic, Raheem Sterling and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, with all bar Chilwell on the bench. Kalidou Koulibaly, Cesar Azpilicueta, Jorginho, Conor Gallagher and Armando Broja are their replacements.

Hosts Brentford make two changes from the side that began the 2-0 win against Brighton last Friday as Zanka and Mads Roerslev oust Kristoffer Ajer and Yoane Wissa from the starting XI.

In the later kick-off, there is just one change apiece.

Marcus Rashford replaces Cristiano Ronaldo for the Red Devils, while Spurs’ Yves Bissouma comes in for the injured Richarlison as Antonio Conte opts for a 3-5-2 at Old Trafford.

On Tyneside, an unchanged Newcastle take on an Everton side who have Anthony Gordon and Dominic Calvert-Lewin back in their team. Dwight McNeil and Neal Maupay make way for the Toffees.

Some 300 miles south, Bournemouth are also unchanged for the south-coast non-derby.

The only alteration for visitors Southampton is enforced, with Duje Caleta-Car coming in to replace the injured Armel Bella-Kotchap.

    Almost 20% of top 10k played FH. That’s great to see

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I would have started only 8 rather than waste my FH on a week like this.

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Quite a few round my rank about used FH. One guys captained Tyrone mings!! He was no2 in the world in gw10

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Depends how they’ve done lol

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Most round my rank are outscoring me by 5-10pts but some are doing worse

  2. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    45 -4 with Mings left to play

    And 30 minutes more of Kane

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Kane just a spectator at this point.

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Kane will get booked so that’s -1

    3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      38 with Kane, Mitro, Andreas, KDH and Ward. Want the last 4 to score 12 points to beat my H2H rival.

    4. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I am on 41 after bps of finished matches. A kane goal or dalot bps can increase score

  3. sentz05
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    How does this WC look?

    Kepa Ward
    Cancelo Trip Saliba Dalot Gomez
    Saka Martinelli Foden Zaha Andreas
    Kane Halland Mitrovic

    1. pablo discobar
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Like it

  4. pablo discobar
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Nunez can't be trusted. Think he infuriates Kloop. Salah could be a hold, Maybe for next 2. Tough call really

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Will not spend FT for Salah with his next few fixtures as long as team look relatively strong in midfield and got Haaland for [C]

  5. F4L
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    good chance Bowen is off pens now?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Hope so he’s never looked convincing at them

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        hmm, yeah looked nervous tonight, Alisson got into his head with the time wasting

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

      Did he ever have them regulary?

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        don't think so, just next in line after the Rice miss vs Forest I guess, Bowen did score a pen vs Fulham

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

      West Ham are running out of takers

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Scamacca could be next, looks calm enough to take them

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

      Bowen to repay owners at the weekend …. He’d better!

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        got the fixtures, here's hoping

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

    Spurs are so poor.

  7. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Is Trossard/Mount to Foden/Saka worth -4?

    Pope
    Saliba Trippier Cancelo
    Martinelli Mount Zaha Trossard Maddison
    Kane Toney Haaland

    Iversen Andreas Guehi Dunk

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Sorry no maddison

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      > Saka

      Southampton + Forest well worth it.

  8. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Casemiro massively changed United

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

    Dalot looks like a good player to have. Regular bonus pts and keeping clean sheets too now.

    1. pablo discobar
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Wouldn't mind him getting a yellow tonight. Then he can miss chelsea

    2. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      See below. I got him last gw

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He looks very attacking

      Amazon described him to the cancelo role

  10. brixtonBob
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    If you try to remember your history of free hits and wildcards, have they mostly been good or bad ? Mine have been mostly awful.

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

      Wildcards 90% bad. Happened again this gw.

    2. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      This year my wc has been awesome. But mostly not

  11. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Getting dalot last gw could prove to be a master move by me. Expected nothing. 9 pts last gw, possible 8 now. Have c kane so if kane scores or assists dont mind the cs gone

  12. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Spurs lol

  13. ball c
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Was thinking of doing:
    Kane & Maddison to Toney & Salah but not sure. Dilemma is Salah away to Forest and Toney’s good fixtures before World Cup.
    Good move or no?

    1. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I was thinking the same. Not sure after tonight.

      1. ball c
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Nunez could be the better move and maybe Saka as Maddison replacement

  14. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Dalot becoming a bit of an unsung hero for me!

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

      Careful, very easy to lose a CS and pick up a 5th yellow.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        True, remember the Sanchez saga lol.

        Though with Kane and Son surely one would be involved if it’s wiped!

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

    Spurs offering absolutely no threat whatsoever. Absolutely dreadful watch as a Kane captainer.

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Same as every other week but he usually gets something in the end.

  16. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Should I still get salah on WC?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He’s a no for me unless Liverpool change system

      They won again today so can see Nunez starting again

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        who would get in midfield instead? So far go martnelli, saka, foden, Andrea’s plus either salah or someone else?

        1. Patio Kev
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I’m on the same dilemma and it’s Zaha or Maddison for me. I might actually get both and ditch Andreas in a 3-5-2

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            I am tempted to ditch salah for zaha , Maddy or Mount to fund upgrading my 4.3 forward to Nunez

    2. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yes - Liverpool were never going to destroy a well organised West Ham. NFO will be a different story

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Any prospect salah benched v NFO?

        1. GENERATION X
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Probably more danger off bench

        2. Utopsis
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Can't set it myself with Jota and Diaz out, but good chance his minutes are managed ahead of Ajax.

  17. jack88
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Scamacca, Antonio, soucek. They Don't have brains

  18. 1zverGGadeM
