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.

    Castagne in great form
    Just 1 blank in last 8 GWs so far

  2. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Neco matching Perisic pts !!!

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Wish I went Saliba instead

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Confirmed . Spurs over

  3. SouthCoastSaint
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Rival brought in Bentancur.

    He’s a serious player too

    This game

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      All luck you say? Well that and paying attention

  4. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    If I was told Salah would double Haaland's today I'd have been delighted...

    Captaincy haul! 😆

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Definitely

    2. SouthCoastSaint
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Really gutting. Even as a saints fan…

      1. SAY MY NAME
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Does make me feel better though, i was so close to captaining Salah and bottled it

    3. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Every point counts

    4. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Totally robbed by Nunez and the ref

  5. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Ward on for bonus, pity on bench

  6. Hect.OR 98th
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Well that was a turnaround. Having a mediocre season bumbling around at 1m rank, KDB did nothing, captained Haaland and don't have Foden, whereas most of my rivals have captained or have Salah and have Foden. Somehow I'm on 39 points if matches finish as they stand now, with most rivals on 10-20 points.

  7. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Played Pope over Ward…..

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Chelsea won't score

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Sanchez

    3. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Me to, find it hard to bench pope
      New prob concede that 1 goal

    4. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Same

  8. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Ward haul. On my bench of course!

  9. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kane might have nabbed the 3 bonus with that recovery and being fouled

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Being fouled is negative bps

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        No it isn't.

      2. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        He was fouled not committed one

  10. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Sort that Davies goal out FPL Towers!!!

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah Perisic asssit not given

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Told you, they tweeted it was a Kane assist.
      Fpl intern was just on a toilet break hence delay in adding

  11. Traction Engine Foot
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Absolute bin fire of a gameweek.

    1. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      *season

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      The next time I bother to look at my team it will be to bin about 90% of the utter garbage I have in there.

  12. Debauchy
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

  14. fusen
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Stupid me playing Allison over Ward 😐

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Plenty have Ward on the bench. I'd still pick Ederson v Brentford every day. Never mind regrets, enjoy the football. Hope rest of your GW goes good man.

  15. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Yet another monster haul from Trent

  16. FPL Brains
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I have Salah, but I'm happy he blanked after how gassed one of his captainers got during and after the City game.

    Roll on a Newcastle clean sheet now.

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      'how gassed one of his captainers got' ?

  17. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Danny Ward you legend !!!!

  18. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Ward, cleanie, 6 saves, max bonus points 😎

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

    Rodgers took a battering for backing Ward at the start of the season but blimey that faith (and Faes) has paid off.

    Just a shame I WC'd Ward out a moment before he remembered how to keep clean sheets!

  20. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

      Crazy season

      1. The Bad Seed
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Wish i hadnt left ward on the bench tho

  22. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    We all knew Ward would come good eventually, but this good - wow!

    1. Josh.E
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I took a hit for him and wish I had done so earlier, he’s been burning me since I got rid on my GW8 wildcard

  23. PogChamp
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Zaha nightmare but Henderson points welcome

  24. Josh.E
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    So there was no point starting Guehi over Doherty

  25. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    8 pts from 6 players. Any worse??

  26. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    TV is saying is Maddy's hamstring .....?

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      TV sounds drunk...

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He's fine

    3. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Strained or torn?

  27. Traction Engine Foot
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Cannot believe how many Ward points I've benched.

  28. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Guaita over Ward in 4/5 last gameweeks=24 points less.

    1. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Having Guaita and Guehi was a blessing in disguise for me cuz it allowed me to play Ward for all his hauls due to palace double def fears

  29. DLLM
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Decided to bench ward for pope minutes before dateline 🙁

  30. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    30 pts with 5 players to go, I’ll take that.

    Zaha, Haaland and Cancelo have been shocking though

    1. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Thats great! A lot of high owned prospects scored though. Kane, Toney, Darwin, Maddison, Foden, Ward
