Gameweek 12 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) reaches its conclusion tonight, with Fulham v Aston Villa getting us underway at 19:30 BST. Leicester City v Leeds United follows at 20:15 BST.

During the second half of the match at the King Power Stadium, Andy and Mark will be live over on our YouTube channel for their weekly Members’ video – and you can watch it via the embedded video below:

As for the team news, Fulham boss Marco Silva makes just one change from the side that drew 2-2 with Bournemouth in Gameweek 11, as Willian replaces Daniel James.

That means Andreas Pereira and Aleksandar Mitrovic start, with their FPL ownerships sitting at 25.2% and 24.8% respectively.

Steven Gerrard also makes one alteration for the visitors, with Jan Bednarek handed a full debut. Matty Cash is the player who drops to the bench, with Ezri Konsa potentially filling the vacated right-back role.

Philippe Coutinho and Emiliano Buendia are substitutes for the second week in a row.

In the later kick-off, Brendan Rodgers makes two changes to the side that drew 0-0 with Crystal Palace in Gameweek 11.

Dennis Praet comes in for the suspended James Maddison, while Jamie Vardy is preferred to Patson Daka.

As for Leeds, Patrick Bamford starts after coming off the bench at half-time against Arsenal. Diego Llorente, Junior Firpo and Crysencio Summerville also make the XI, with Jack Harrison and Rodrigo among those who drop to the bench.

Pascal Struijk was carrying a knock and misses out.

    How nailed is Darwin now? Is it worth doing Kane to Darwin (frees up funds!)

    1. Shteve
      4 years, 12 days ago

      I dont think he's nailed, even with all the injuries, but he will get mins. Don't like him as option though as even if he starts, he's not a 90min man

    2. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 12 days ago

      I'm tempted by that move. Will Kane play as hard with 4 weeks until WC, he's not going to want to get injured.

    3. Stranger Mings
      4 years, 12 days ago

      I think he will start again v NFO but unsure if would sell Kane

  2. Maddamotha
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Any WestHam fans here? Will Coufal start next match?

  3. Flynny
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Safe to bring in saka tonight ahead of his rise?

    Thanks

    1. Paqueta Rice

      Wondering the same thing

    2. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 12 days ago

      He's just been yellow flagged on FPL

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Here is what Arteta said- so should be OK …….

      “Yeah, he got a kick, he was limping a bit but hopefully, he will be fine.”

      1. Flynny
        4 years, 12 days ago

        Oh just seen he has been flagged.

        Not sure if there is an arsenal presser tomorrow.

        Classic case here where I'll buy martinelli instead of saka.

        And saka will be fine and score heavily

        1. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          4 years, 12 days ago

          I know! I am still getting Saka as have Martinelli and Foden already and Andreas off bench v Leeds not the worst outcome- then will have in place for Forest game. I do think he will be OK as looked fine at the end and Arteta didn’t say he would need to be assessed and was fairly relaxed about it

  4. g_jannyg

    Castagne the only one of the back 5 to not bonus. Lol

        Same, can’t argue with that.

    I always knew this GW was gonna be horrible for me and got spanked with a 170k red arrow points, should have gone through with my initial choice and put the armband on Trippier but bottled it in the end 🙁

    So grateful I didn't go for the -8

    This is the second GW in a row with 10 clean sheets in a GW. Can't wait for GW13 gonna be a big one for so many...

    Good luck everyone, and let's get those arrows green!

  6. Sheffield Wednesday
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Considering the hit to replace Maddison, Coufal benching leaving my team with 10 players, plus all those cheapskates being rewarded from Ward and Neco - getting a tiny green arrow and sneaking into top 200k this week is an enormous relief.

    WC 12-16:


    All the advices are appreciated, mates



:)

    Raya 


    Cancelo TAA Trippier Gomez 


    Salah Foden Saka Martinelli
    

Haaland Jesus 




    Ward Andreas Zanka Greenwood

  8. FFSbet.com
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Tinkering this for hit

    A) Foden + Firmino
    B) Zaha + Darwin

    1. g40steve
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Foden & Darwin is optimal but more expensive

  9. Keane There Dunne That
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Mount -> Saka worth a -4?

    May not be able to do it next week if there is a price rise/fall

  10. Rainer
    4 years, 12 days ago

    On Saka...

    About 5 mins before he came off, he made a run through the middle & got a kick to the back of his calf. He continued his run, got passed another player and took a shot.

    He then went down, physio on, but got up very quick. He looked okay after, didn't signal to come off & walked off fine.

    Looked like an impact injury, just a kick, I'm sure his pain has already passed!

    1. pablo discobar
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Mikel Arteta on whether Bukayo Saka picked up an injury:

      “Yeah, he got a kick, he was limping a bit but hopefully, he will be fine.”

      1. Rainer
        4 years, 12 days ago

        Enough for a flag but he'll be fine for Sunday!

    2. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 12 days ago

      THanks for the update

    3. Yozzer
      4 years, 12 days ago

      You obviously don't know how painful a bruised calf is when trying to walk

  11. g40steve
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Who are the first names on WC?

    Keeper: Ward, Raya, Alisson, Kepa

    Defender: Cancelo, Saliba, Trippier,VVD/Gomez

    Mids: Saka, Foden, Martineli, Zaha, Bowen

    FWDs: Toney, Hauland, Darwin, Mitro

    What’s your build options?

  12. Tshelby
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Advice much needed

    Get in
    A) Foden
    B) Saka

    Who has to make place?
    1) Zaha
    2) Mount

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      4 years, 12 days ago

      I’d say A2 if I knew he was fit

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        4 years, 12 days ago

        B2 sorry haha. But A and B is so close

  13. RAFA THE GAFFA
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Pull the trigger tonight on this? Or too risky?

    Tross+Barnes >> Foden+Saka

    1. FantasyTony
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Just do one to Foden unless you'll be locked out with rises.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        4 years, 12 days ago

        Yeah think I’m doing Tross >> Foden for sure. I guess it’s the Saka question mark now. Won’t be priced out either way

  14. FOO FIGHTER
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Saka yellow flagged with a knock. Glad I have not made my moves yet.

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      4 years, 12 days ago

      What other info will we get though?

      “We have 1 more training session to assess the lads”

      1. pablo discobar
        4 years, 12 days ago

        I don't think we'll get a presser out of Arteta will we? That was it tonight

    2. DavvaMC
      4 years, 12 days ago

      I made the move I think he will be OK.

    3. ZeBestee
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Arteta said he should be fine. He got a small kick on his calf but don't see it as a big issue looking at the footage.

  15. FantasyTony
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Madison > Foden for free is an easy one, right?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Yes

    2. sirmorbach
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Yes!

    3. Stranger Mings
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Y

    4. Kane Toads
      4 years, 12 days ago

      I did it

  16. sirmorbach
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Friends, already done Trossard to Foden and got the following:

    Pope (Ward)
    Cancelo, Perisic, Trippier, Saliba (Dunk)
    Salah, Foden, Zaha, Martinelli (Andreas)
    Haaland, Mitrovic, Toney

    A. WC,
    Perisic to Guéhi/Gomez, Andreas to Almirón

    B. WC,
    Pope to Raya/Kepa, Perisic to Guéhi/Gomez, Andreas to Saka, and Toney to Solanke (Solanke first sub)

    C. WC,
    Perisic to Guéhi/Gomez, Dunk to Neco, Zaha to Saka, Andreas to Almirón

    D. Keep WC,
    Wait two weeks to do C or D, so I can enjoy Toney's and Zaha's next two (albeit missing on Saka)

    1. House Frey Wedding Planner
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Keep the WC til gw15 where a number of teams will have 2 home fixtures before the World Cup. Your team is okay for now and a wildcard seems a waste to use this week

      1. sirmorbach
        4 years, 12 days ago

        Lovely, sir, many thanks!

      2. shamele
        4 years, 11 days ago

        For real? Which teams?

  17. jay01
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Is Dean Henderson to Fabianski (-4) worth it?

    If not fabianski, who else?

    1. jay01
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Or Alisson?

    2. Paqueta Rice
      4 years, 12 days ago

      I’d never advocate a hit on a gk

      1. jay01
        4 years, 12 days ago

        I guess if i got alisson its for the next four weeks

    3. Releasebreaks
      4 years, 12 days ago

      No hits for GK

  18. Stranger Mings
    4 years, 12 days ago

    How’s this WC please?
    Kepa (ward)
    Trippier cancello white (botman & neco)
    Saha foden martnelli saka Andreas
    Kane haaland (archer)

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      4 years, 12 days ago

      I'm not convinced with going for Kepa. I think Brentford's next 3 fixtures are too good to ignore. They are against the 3 lowest scorers in the league. Also Raya has been making plenty of saves.

      1. Stranger Mings
        4 years, 12 days ago

        Ok thanks , yeh raya also good shout

    2. Releasebreaks
      4 years, 12 days ago

      You got Louis Saha ? kk

      1. Stranger Mings
        4 years, 12 days ago

        Ha ha just noticed that!

    3. sinusoidal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 12 days ago

      I think big Louis is still injured

  19. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Andreas or Almiron, both will likely be on the bench most of the time, so Andreas who I already have seems the sensible choice rather than tie up an extra 0.8m

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      4 years, 12 days ago

      I have a similar decision but own both and need to get rid of one. Since you already have Andreas, I would keep him and see what you can do with the extra cash.

  20. FCSB
    4 years, 12 days ago

    1. Mount >> Foden
    2. Rashford >> Foden

    Which move? And do it now before the rise?

    1. Stranger Mings
      4 years, 12 days ago

      2

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      4 years, 12 days ago

      1

  21. abaalan
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Barnes no assist for the og? Fpl looks like given to another player?

    1. Rainer
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Joking or didn't see the goal?

      He was behind Koch, waiting for the cross.

      1. abaalan
        4 years, 12 days ago

        Didn't see the game.... Just read BBC sport "Barnes cross turned into own net by Koch"

  22. No Kane No Gain
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Was it a clean game from Mitrovic and a clean sub off rather than a injury or whatever?!

    Looking to do Kane and Trossard to Foden and Mitro.

    Using the funds for saka next week!

    1. Black Knights
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Yeah rested as game won.

    2. g_jannyg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 12 days ago

      All good. He looked fit and sharp tonight as well. Very involved

      1. No Kane No Gain
        4 years, 12 days ago

        Thanks for that. Sealed the deal.

  23. ZeBestee
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Last 2 gw's have been bad. It started in gw9 when I did a mistake of removing Saka for Zaha and lost 21 points in the process. This is my current team:

    Pope
    Kilman Cancelo Trippier
    Salah Martinelli Foden Zaha
    Jesus Haaland Toney

    Iversen Andreas Wiliams Emerson

    Used my FT for bringing in Jesus for Wilson. 0.1m itb

    G2g? Any pressing issue?

  24. rivo4england
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Can only afford either TAA or Saka this week. Who would you prioritise?

    1. ZeBestee
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Saka easy

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        4 years, 12 days ago

        Interesting. Not sure it's so clear, purely due to Forest & fact they're weak that wing.

        Long term cleaner perhaps. Saka with Forest too in GW14.

    2. Stranger Mings
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Saka

  25. FPLMACKEM
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Ward
    Trippier, Cancelo, Guehi
    Salah, Zaha, Trossard, Martinelli
    Haaland (c), Mitrovic, Solanke

    Guaita, Andreas, Dunk, Neco

    1FT 4.3itb

    A Trossard to Foden
    B Trossard and Dunk to Foden and TAA/VVD -4

  26. FOO FIGHTER
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Would you keep Almiron or Zaha through to the World Cup?

    1. ZeBestee
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Zaha maybe. Almiron in good form but not great fix.

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Almiron being fed by Bruno the Goat

      1. g40steve
        4 years, 12 days ago

        True last year he was in the right places just not finishing, now he is finishing!

  27. Paqueta Rice
    4 years, 12 days ago

    What’s best here:

    A) Sterling and Trossard to Foden and Saka -4
    B) A plus Daka to Toney/Mitro/Firmino -8 (.1 short on Nunez)
    C) A plus Kane to Nunez -8
    D) Sterling, Trossard, and Kane to Salah, Foden, Nunez -8

    1. RomeluAndJuliet
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Trossard to Foden

    2. ZeBestee
      4 years, 12 days ago

      A

    3. Stranger Mings
      4 years, 12 days ago

      A

    4. g40steve
      4 years, 12 days ago

      A easy

    5. Paqueta Rice
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Thanks all

  28. RomeluAndJuliet
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Zaha and Trossard to Foden and Saka for free?

    1. Gudjohnsen
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Yes

    2. Paqueta Rice
      4 years, 12 days ago

      For free, yeah why not. I think I’d hold Zaha if you can though

    3. SMOOTH
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 12 days ago

      keeping zaha doing the other one.

      what about moving one of your strikers to jesus, or making andreas in to saka as a double move next week

  29. SMOOTH
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    4 years, 12 days ago

    A. Jesus
    B. Saka -4
    C. Mitro/Toney this week then replace one for Saka next week

    1. RomeluAndJuliet
      4 years, 12 days ago

      C

    2. Stranger Mings
