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.

    C) Trossard, Kane > Salah, Firmino -4

  14. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I've seen so many free hitters with Alisson in my cash ML. Disgusting!

  15. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Out of interest has anyone not took a hit this season and if not whats your OR?

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

      No hits, OR 278k. Not great but was down to almost 2M in GW5 so my climbing has begun. Red arrow this week though. Thanks (Kane).

  16. SkyByBo
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Man U look really good tonight, Sancho aside...

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

      No Ronny

  17. Random Name
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    How on earth isn't the game stopped for an offside after kane touched it?

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

      Advantage

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

      Because it didn't need to be.

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

      Because advantage was given.
      And they scored from it.
      So well done referee?

      Gotta give referees credit sometimes I guess.

  18. Old Bull
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    As a Son owner I think it’s time for bed

  19. Scalper
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Trippier has returned (goal/assist/clean sheet) in every game except 2. Madness for a defender.

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

      New Haaland?

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

      Bps magnet as well

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

      Was the week to cap in hindsight

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

      So gutted I never started with him. Was in all my early drafts then swung to James last minute.

      He’s been fantastic this season.

    5. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah, but it's useless. 95% in top 100k own him.

      Perhaps doubling with Pope like me can make some difference, but not in the gws like this with tons of cs.

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

      He's returning with the World Cup next.

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

      And that's not even mentioning the 10 bonus pts

    8. jonnybhoy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Had him since GW1 his form from last season I expected this. Season keeper

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

      Basically a 9 player game now with Haaland (c) and Trippier. You'd be foolish to back against either. Not helpful to push up rank when you're down with the dregs as well.

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

      In my team since gw1. Along with ward and martinelli. I really wanted him to c him today but wrongly chose kane

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

    At least one return please captain Kane

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

      As a Salah (C) you get nothing

  21. Bluetiger1
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone have a good GW12 points wise?

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

      I fielded 8 players. 28 pts with 3 to go. Not great.

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

        Sorry 9*

        1. Bluetiger1
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Not bad with 9 and still 3 to go

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

      Nope.

      But I'll take this united result. We've been boss.

    3. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      53 points with 2 to play (Mitro & Andreas)

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Well done

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

      On 55 from 9. Pretty good for this week I imagine.

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I'm 33 from 9 with two to play (capt) punt with salah did not work should have gone with Trippier

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

      What point total do you need to have for it to be good?

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        How have you done in GW12?

    6. PogChamp
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Somehow managed to jam my way to 50 from 8 with captain fail.

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        -Sounds good looking at the scores should be above average

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

      33. My favourite number at least.

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Ditto

    8. Steinburg FC
      • 11 Years

  22. jack88
    • 4 Years

    Who said conte is big game specialist. Spurs played like relegated team

  23. 1zverGGadeM
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    What's wrong with Rashford?

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

      Overrated lad

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

        When he is in mood he can score these situations with closed eyes...
        Is it the Ten Hag strategy or what?

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

      Almost scored, denied by Lloris.

  24. Bielsa's Bucket
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago
