Five more Premier League matches follow on from Manchester City’s shock defeat to Brentford in the lunchtime kick-off:

After the Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne captaincy fails, there’s a chance for Mohamed Salah backers to make some ground today.

The Egyptian starts in a Liverpool side showing only one change from the Gameweek 15 win over Tottenham Hotspur, as Ibrahima Konate misses out and Joe Gomez comes in at centre-half.

Nathan Jones starts his Southampton reign by bringing in Duje Caleta-Car, Adam Armstrong and Romeo Lavia for Theo Walcott, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and the injured Juan Larios.

In north London, Antonio Conte makes two changes to the Spurs team that lost at home to Liverpool in their last Premier League game.

The fit-again Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski both return, replacing the benched Yves Bissouma and the injured Ryan Sessegnon.

Willy Gnonto for the injured Jack Harrison is Jesse Marsch’s only alteration.

There’s only one change between the two sides at the London Stadium and it’s an enforced one at that: Luke Thomas replaces the injured James Justin for Leicester City, who take on unchanged West Ham United.

Bournemouth’s two changes from Gameweek 15 are in defence, with Jordan Zemura and Jack Stephens recalled, Ryan Fredericks dropping to the bench and Chris Mepham suspended.

Everton also make two alterations from last weekend as Nathan Patterson and Neal Maupay replace Seamus Coleman and Dominic Calvert-Lewin. The latter is out injured.

Forest players who impressed in midweek are rewarded for their displays as Jesse Lingard, Joe Worrall, Willy Boly and Renan Lodi oust Steve Cook, Scott McKenna, Neco Williams and Emmanuel Dennis from Steve Cooper’s XI.

Palace are unchanged but the fit-again Odsonne Edouard is back on the bench.

    Massive Allison save

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      And again jeez

  2. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Going Trossard and Martial (benching Toney)
    Not looking great v second option of Nunez and Tavernier

    Annoying that it annoys me more than winning £500

  3. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Palace is KILLING me today!!!

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Zaha is such a troll

  4. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Will Bowen ever score again

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He has 1 good game all season. Not sure what people are expecting?

    2. Superflymonk
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Probably after I sell him on wildcard. He's always trolled me massively, even last season. Worst transfer I've made

    3. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Terrible player

  5. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Not even a Salah owner but that is laughable. 2 shocking refereeing decisions back to back

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ref clearly has something against Salah. But how has VAR not given that???

  6. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Best players so far
    Toney 10
    Darwin 10
    Tavernier 9

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Benched
      Chose Martial instead
      Chose Trossard instead

      1. fantasist
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        2 to play and Toney may somehow come on

  7. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bonus Points

    3 - Fabianski, Ward (28)
    1 - Amartey (25)

    Maddison (23)

    Ward 10 pointer!!!

    He can't be stopped...

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Oh maddy what could have been

    2. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Don’t he’s on my bench

  8. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I see the old “Kane scores one and always get maximum bonus”’ is still in full effect

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

      Kane has scored 1 on 10 occasions so far this season and has gotten maximum bonus on 3 occasions (if he remains on 1 goal today and gets 3 bonus)

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        It’s absolutely pathetic

    2. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Strikers get more BPS for goals, it’s always been like this.

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        It’s just a joke with Kane though
        Gonna have to have him on WC, it’s a cheat code

  9. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bottled Darwin (c).

    Absolute coward

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Mateeeee! You inspired me to go for it!

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        You deserve it. Enjoy the big points to go with your massive balls.

  10. DandyDon
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Come on salah…

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ref will disallow any assist or goal Salah has today.

  11. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Looks like Ben White among the many price risers tonight.

    Thinking of doing Guehi to White while I can afford it.

    Then forget about FPL for a while.

    Good move?

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Done same

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Nice one, cheers

    2. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Good move if he doesn’t snap his leg late

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        *later

      2. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yes! Hope he doesn’t! Thanks

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Might be some adjustments to be made perhaps given any transfers after deadline don't count?

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        True. Might just do it to be safe. Feels like a shot to nothing with the unlimited transfers. Cheers

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I've been contemplating Saliba to him myself to free up funds given the rises I've gotten out of him since GW1

  12. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Grab a goal please WHU!

  13. Tic Tacs
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Owning Zaha is an absolute rollercoaster, actually wish he wasn't on pens cos it's not a positive thing!

  14. Ten Hag of Bud
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Another Ward cleanie would be dreamy. I brought in Castagne for the double up.

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Really need Leicester to concede

  15. Ten Hag of Bud
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    It's a shame I didn't make Darwin my C

    I did in all the fan team games though 🙂

  16. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    How'se my Kulusevski pick? 😛 never get the things right ...

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He has been very good

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

        Thanks! Feeling a bit better now albeit no FPL points ...

  17. jacob1989
    • 3 Years

    Where is the kane assist?

  18. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Has anyone played their triple captain already?

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, but I genuinely have absolutely no idea how it happened. Vaguely neutral result - Salah got 7 points. (x3)

      1. fantasist
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Lol. Not bad for an accidental TC

  19. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Started Neco for the first time this season after having him since GW 1. CS inbound and he is nowhere to be seen.

  20. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else on Salah(c)?

  21. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Alisson Becker!

  22. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    West Ham and Bowen have been dreadful this season.

    1. g40steve

      I have held looking fwd to binning

      1. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        Same.

  23. Chhana
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    My captain Cancelo scored -4 last week, and now Zaha is on 0 pts

    1. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Still progress

    2. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'll take the 0 and run that troll

  24. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Fantasy Bundesliga is so much fun. Kabak bagged an own goal but still got 9 points 😆

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      More than my whole FPL team this week.

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years

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

    Wilson benched

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      There was always a good chance he was going to be benched.

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Called that.

  26. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Benched Ward

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Young left back who is a huge upgrade on the dire Cucurella Played very well against City in midweek.

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Agreed

    2. Sun Jihai

      Yes, my differential Trippier starts!

      Cucurela on the bench. Wow

  28. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    When will Kane assist be added?

    Fpl tweeted it is a Kane assist?
    Fpl intern on the loo?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Davies will lose the goal, don't worry.

      Kane pen soon!

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I’m not being wishful, just wondering when it will be added as they’ve already said it is an assist

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      FPL Twitter is fast, but not accurate.

      It wasn't a Kane assist if you watch the goal because it was a Meslier screw up. Davies' shot was blocked and then a farce let it in.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Too late they’ve already spoken
