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.

    GTG? Thoughts? 🙂

    Ward
    TAA - Cancelo - Saliba
    Salah - Foden - Zaha - Andreas
    Haaland - Toney - Mitrovic

    Sanchez - Guehi - Trossard - Neco

    Plans ahead

    GW 14 - Trossard ➡ Martinelli/Rashford
    GW 15 - Mitrovic ➡ Scamacca
    GW 16 - Punt

      Good to go. I would play Trossard over Andreas. I think City will concede after wrapping up the game in first half. Substitutions due to important Champions League game midweek.

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Andreas was on fire tonight and Leeds looked dire defensively

        Trossard may be the one getting subbed early with the game lost early is what I’m thinking

        1. banskt
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Leeds are not so dire at home. They conceded only 3 goals in 5 home games. They are conceding away from home if you look closer.

          But, yes, I understand your argument. Your decision.

      Wouldn’t move Mitro to Scamacca. Either leave him be, or move to a higher impact forward like Darwin or Jesus

    1. the dom 1

      Wait

    2. BeWater
      • 5 Years

      I'd wait now because he's flagged.

    Bottomed:

    Start 1:
    A) Romero
    B) Trippier

    RMT has Trippier at 4.6 and Romero at 1.8. I was completely set on A

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

      I'd start Trippier.

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

        At the moment, I'm starting Andreas and Romero and benching Trippier and Trossard... Even typing it doesn't feel right...

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Raya, averaging 10 points per game recently and probably should have 3 clean sheets in the next 3 (AVL, WOL, NFO)

    Mount to Foden over flagged Saka now? Was coin toss anyway. Y/N?

    Thx in advance, problems with women, been drinking some beer, sorry for asking stupid question 🙁

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, would’ve said Foden the priority anyway.

      Enjoy the beer!

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

      I went for Foden. 3 out 4 home games.

    3. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Are u getting foden over saka just because he's flagged or do u prefer foden? I think it's worth waiting if you're interested in saka

      But if you'll be priced out from the price rise then I'd just get foden

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

        Tossing coun between those two. Mount has to go for one of them. Plan was to have both, but couldn't decide which one is first to get. Salah has plum fixture and I am not willing to sell him or Zaha for -4 either. So it's prolly Mount to Foden now.

    4. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I think Saka will score more points than Foden.

      But, I don't have the crystal. I only know Saka will take penalties and will play more minutes than Foden unless injured.

    5. FCSB
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Did you only just bring Mount in?

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yep

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

        Yes. But Liverpool are up first and see a team where you can get leaks.

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Chance of some leaks as they are the first game

    Mount to Saka or Roll FT (have Martinelli)? Saka rises tonight but picked up a knock in tonight's match.

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Saka - think it was a kick to the leg, more of an impact injury than muscle injury

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

        I bought him in before the injury. Schoolboy error. That yellow flag is stressing me out lol. As you say though, more of an impact than a muscular thing so should be fine.

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Always a risk bringing in players when they have a game before the deadline

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

    Which option guys:

    A. James to Gabriel/White
    B. Sinisterra to Martinelli
    C. Both for a -4

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A

  13. Henryyy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Would you ditch Bowen or Zaha for Saka this week?

    1. No Kane No Gain
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Zaha. Surely bowens juicy next 3 home games out of the next 4 scream points

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

        Scream points? He’s hardly a done anything part from last two home games all season, WHU just do not score enough, not worth the price tag that’s for sure

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe Zaha if it's for free

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

      Bowen is not even close to be worth his price tag imo.

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

      Bowen all day, he just is not worth it

  14. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Is it worth taking a hit to upgrade Emerson?

    0FT 1.9ITB
    Pope
    Doherty Tripper Cancelo
    Zaha Salah Foden Martinelli
    Mitro Toney Haaland
    (Ward Andreas Neco Emerson )

    1. Ray In Bruges.
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A hit to bring in someone you won't start is always a hell no.

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Doherty starts/mins is the issue. Not certain he will start with Emerson back from suspension so the hit to start ahead of Doherty this GW.

    2. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No imo

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

      No. Team is perfectly fine. You will probably not need 3rd bench in the next 4 games.

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

      I wouldn't.

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

    How is Neco falling? 4.0 starting defender. Even has couple of CS.

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

      Terrible next two fixtures!

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

        Last cleanie was fortunate. Would expect 0 and 1 pointers the next few gameweeks

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

        He's a bench most weeks anyway why sell

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Perfect 5th defender.

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

        Exactly

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

      WCs
      + risk of negative points in the next two!

  16. Manani
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    thoughts on Creswell?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Nailed pick, on set pieces and decent fixtures

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

        do you think him or Samacca will score more till WC?

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Difficult to compare between the two when they play in different positions and different price points

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

    Trent and Saka in for Doherty and Zaha -4? Got exact money.

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Tough one for a hit.

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

      Nah

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

      Probably not. Trent might not play as quick turn around and Champions League midweek

  18. bso

    Any update on Saka? Will he be fit to start?

  19. Ten Hag of Bud
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Just logged into my bookie after thinking all was lost £150 sitting there 🙂 What a GW was on 16 points before today with 12 on the bench from a little benchwankery. Mitro (c) Andreas and Ward have boosted me up to 52 points all out. And that chunk of change was thanks to Fulham Leicester Barca and Arsenal. Had a fiver on Fulham to win 2-0 too I should have cashed that out for £44 but it was worth £90 with less than ten minutes left. Great stuff.

        3 years, 5 months ago

        Will be for -4, thinking to hold that for gw14

        Considering either def or fwd change that could bring more pts (to cover the hit)

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I don't see why Saka won't pay off the hit. TAA or Darwin if you want suggests for other positions

          1. confused01

  21. CoracAld2831

    3 years, 5 months ago

    Cancelo to rise tonight?

    FFfix predicts rise (121.1% ^)
    Fplstatistics almost (96.7% ^)
    FFHub not even close (18.47% ^)

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I didn't know hub tracked price changes. Is it accurate when compared to FFFix and fplstatistics?

      1. CoracAld2831
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        They only introduced it this season, so not sure tbh. Those rates look most realistic compared to the other two tbh.

        It did get the Foden "not rising" correct yesterday, while the other two predicted a price rise for him.

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          That's interesting. Is the hub price predictor accessible to non members or Premium members only?

            1. Tonyawesome69
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Cheers Sun

              Foden predicted to rise in all 3 sites

              1. Tonyawesome69
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Ignore the Foden comment. Got mixed up with the last post on Foden to this one on Cancelo.

  22. Tmel
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Better facilitator to afford Foden?

    a) Pope > Raya/Kepa/Ward
    b) Perisic > White

    1. Man Chest Hair United

      B

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A - I could see Conte revert back to 343 and with Rich and Kulu injured, perisic may be in the front 3

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

      B with Sessegnon lurking

  23. CoracAld2831
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Btw, all of those sites predict Foden and Saka to rise tonight.

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      WC13 may be skewing the prices sites

      1. CoracAld2831
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Hub was the only to predict Foden "not rising" yesterday.

    SAKA’s flag .. is that balls … didn’t watch match tonight but see he okayed 85 … the fag was prior to that? What I’m trying to as is, is he fit and okay or did he get a knock tonight?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years

      He went down holding his calf just after Arsenal scored but carried on for another 15 mins or so before being subbed off so it sounds like he should be fine.

    Salah + Wilson -> Darwin + Saka (-4)

    Worth it?

      No

    2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years

      Not sure it's worth it

    Any thoughts on Tomiyasu continuing to start? I have basically no funds to upgrade WHU's Emerson and he is 4.2m with two decent near-term fixtures. Got an assist earlier.

      I don't think think he'll start over White at RB in the league games so competing with Tierney at LB. Understandable from a tactical POV against Salah but not sure why he played LB against Leeds. Uncertainty with starts/mins to go there imo

          Soz, I just think it has to be Haaland, but I appreciate fixtures a few other teams have could temp and give pause for a hmmmmmm. But Haaland for me.

    Who would you choose:

    A) Saka and Toney
    B) Martinelli and Darwin
