Following on from Nottingham Forest’s shock win over Liverpool, there are two more Gameweek 13 matches taking place at the traditional kick-off time.

Manchester City take on Brighton and Hove Albion at the Etihad, while Everton face Crystal Palace at Goodison Park.

Benchings, injury-enforced omissions and blanks caused Fantasy Premier League (FPL) disappointment in the lunchtime game and now there’s more misery for some Fantasy bosses, with the most-bought player of Gameweek 13, Phil Foden, benched in the league for the first time this season.

Pep Guardiola has made three changes in total from Sunday’s defeat at Liverpool, with Foden, Ilkay Gundogan and Nathan Ake all dropping to the bench.

Jack Grealish, Riyad Mahrez and Aymeric Laporte replace them in the hosts’ XI.

Visitors Brighton are unchanged from Gameweek 12.

And Everton boss Frank Lampard has also resisted the urge to rotate despite a three-game losing streak, naming the same side that lost to Newcastle.

There are two changes to the Crystal Palace team that beat Wolves 2-0, one of which is enforced.

Jeffrey Schlupp drops to the bench and Cheick Doucoure is banned, so in come Jordan Ayew and skipper Luka Milivojevic.

GAMEWEEK 13 LINE-UPS

Everton XI: Pickford, Tarkowski, Onana, Calvert-Lewin, Gordon, Gray, Iwobi, Mykolenko, Coleman, Gueye, Coady.

Subs: Ortega Moreno, Stones, Ake, Gundogan, Alvarez, Gomez, Foden, Palmer, Lewis

    Arsenal to go 14 points clear of Liverpool this weekend after 11 games played.

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

      If they win.

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

      Man Utd to go 6 points clear of Pool too

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

    Anyone gone Salah (C) ?

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

      Andy did 🙂 what a Saturday he has.

    2. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      For a 12.30 kick off (cursed) and an out of form Liverpool?

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

        Two games form was good. But with that lineup you could smell issues against a low block team.

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

      Haaland not getting benched is the silver lining with Salah vc lol

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

      Kaptain Kane. - also brought in Foden & doesn't have Haaland 🙁

      Might get Neco if Foden & Doherty play 0 mins though

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

      Gandhi too strong

    6. fish&chips
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Me. No haaland. Trent and Darwin. Preston fan (just lost 4-2 to our arch rivals Blackpool). Good start to the weekend

      1. fish&chips
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Oh yeah also have foden and neco third on the bench

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

      People from last week that missed the deadline?

  3. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    KDB going to score more than Salah this week than last 2 combined.

    Silver lining is I didn’t take a hit for Foden.

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

      Same. I was considering KDB to Foden. Glad I didn't.

  4. All Hail K
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Be funny seeing Salah and Almiron with the same price next year.

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Almiron 12.5? doubt it

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

    When you have a hunch feeling about these things, you should go with it. I wanted Son instead of Salah last week, yet went with the herd. Will have to go Salah > Son or Kane in 15

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

      Son hasn't outperformed salah over those 2 games, yet

  6. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Time to give up the Salah train, or give him one more against Leeds?

    Alternative would be to keep Kane and as part of getting in Saka

    1. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I have to give him the next two then reassess

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

      I am getting in Saka for Salah.

    3. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Reverting back to Darwin & Saka

  7. The Knights Template
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Brighton to win 3-2

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

      Fine with me knight as long and Haaland and Cancelo shares the goals and assists

    2. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Trossard brace and Foden blank as well.

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

      Just give me something from Foden as Neco only third on my bench

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

    Wow Henderson. 2 GWs of magic.

  9. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Phew...survived with no LIV in my team.
    What is happening with them?

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

      They always had a great starting XI, not squad.

  10. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    As it stands I’d rather go Salah to Saka instead of selling Zaha lol

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Considering that instead of Trossard to Martinelli

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

      I will do that. If Saliba or Toney doesn't get a yellow card.

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

    Liverpool should hire that up and coming English manager, Steven something, hear he is available.

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      OLs club legend

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        *old

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

        Yeah I've heard that as well, perfect fit imo.

  12. The Knights Template
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Salah > ???? Oh wait, I don’t own him, wwooohoooooo!!

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

      He’ll probably haul now most will sell, it’s how fpl goes

    2. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Lol

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

      Worthy of a brag post tbh

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

      Leeds home next lol

    5. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Touché

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

    Haaland blank incoming, Foden on for a 1-0 winner

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

      You miss out on Neco points if Foden comes on (and if Doherty stays benched)

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

        Or someone else doesn’t miss out I guess

  14. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    We need another WC to get rid of our Liverpool players

    1. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I swear

  15. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Cucurella/Salah/Solanke ➡ White/Saka/Kane for -8 is worth considering at least. I see upgrades, more pros than cons.

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

      Terrible moves

      But go ahead and do it

      People are so bad with the whole my player didnt score and i need to sell for a -8 and of course he will never score again in history i predict

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

        I haven't owned Salah all season until GW12 and was doing fine. I never thought he's worth 13m and genuinely prefer other options. I literally got him because KDB was out and tried to protect OR in case he actually goes crazy.

    2. Saka Punch
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Lol not for a -8

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

        Hits can pay off in the long run.

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

          Thats the point

          There is no long run now - its 3 weeks until you get a free wildcard

          So the odds of that -8 paying off over such a short time with the fixtures Salah has are about 1 in 1000

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

    Cannot wait to sell Salah later

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

      Cannot wait to get those sweet points next 3 gameweeks

      But seriously who would you sell for that you dont have - i dont see anyone i want that i cant get

      Bailey to Saka is my planned move.

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

    How many times today will greedy Mahrez frustrate Haaland owners today …

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

    Salah blank

    Foden in as part of a hit

    Nightmare GW already.

    What is this season

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

    Rage transfers incoming:
    A - Salah, Solanke -> Fernandes, Toney (-4)
    B - Salah, Solanke -> Rashford, Kane (-4)
    C - Salah, Solanke -> Zaha, Nunez (-4)

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      C for me Saka & Nunez

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Think Nunez is the key to unlock the 2022 version of Liverpool?

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

      a with saka

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

        Already have Saka

  20. FPL_trail_runner
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    ha, salah captain blank and still 20% green arrow.

    Would be decent day for Haaland to have a tight hamstring in warmup

  21. Mirror Man
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I reckon Haaland will outscore Salah within the first 16 minutes.

      1. Deer-in-headlights
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        * seconds

    • Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Zaha to Foden sellers will be crying shortly

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

        Thankfully I kept Zaha while bringing in Foden

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Same

    • Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Lol Liverpool need a lot of luck just to be in the Conference League next year. Don't think they have any chance of top 4 this year.

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

      Haaland 1.44 odds to score, jeez
      69% implied chance of scoring

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

      Interesting question I think given the volatility of the game, how many blanks before you’d consider selling Haaland?

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

        Until he's fit
        Would be difficult to get him back

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

          No I mean if he was fit and playing, just not returning

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

        Certainly not 1

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

          Yeah - 3/4?

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

            Yeah I'd begin considering it.

      3. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I think you will find out in the first 30 mins

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

          Lol

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

          Well done

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

            I read it as meaning if he hadn’t scored in the first 30 lol

      4. Sandy Ravage
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Only when City stop creating chances

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

        3-4 and if his fixtures were shite

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

      Well Neco CS was really not a joke after all

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

        Someone asked me to my transfer question "what if Neco gets a CS?" I laughed it off 😆

    • el polako
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Salah(c) against Leeds - he's due.

      Pragmatic approach is everything in fpl.

    • FPL_trail_runner
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      This game has Trossard taking out the city cleansheet written all over it

    • RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Salah + Solanke > Kane + Almiron for a -4?

      Any takers?

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

        This was the type of move people were doing in reverse 1 week back lol

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

        Nope

        You will captain haaland , would only take a hit for a captain or to field 11

      3. Victor6359
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yip

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

        Cheers lads

    • Mirror Man
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Alisson has one less point than Salah

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Came closer to scoring today than Salah too there at the end 😆

          1. Mirror Man
              3 years, 5 months ago

              You know it's over when your keeper has a better xGI than your supposed best forward.
