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.

    3. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I know. I will never make a goalie move as a one week punt. Ederson 2 pointer when both my goalies looking for cs after 45 and Zaha ofc misses pen. And not gutsy enough to cap Nunez after all i said this week, he is a 3-5 goals assist in one game kind of guy and this was the game to do that. Next gw he is 200% owned.

  2. PartyTime

    My Egyptian king involved in the celebrations

  3. DycheDycheBaby

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

    2. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      It’s hardly down to luck when you bench a Liverpool striker against Saints at home.

  11. Neevesy
    • 9 Years

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      That's a whole lot more smooth than rough!

  12. Bishopool
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    So Nunez making statements. Season ends with 20 goals for Haaland, Nunez 21.

  13. No Salah
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Smooth - have Darwin
    Rough - have Zaha too

  14. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years

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

    Darwin hero!

    Loved how many had to buy back Haaland or couldn't afford him 🙂

  18. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Nunez will get the hattrick Haaland was supposed to

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

    Lol at the guy here last night who said signing Darwin was “miserable group think”

    Glad I followed my instinct and signed Darwin!

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

      Haha agree. Thought about that comment myself after these 2 goals.

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

      I made that comment. Taking responsibility, lol. 🙂

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

        fair play for owing up!

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

        Your crusade against Darwin looking a tad silly

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

        Fair play! Handshake emoji!

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

        It was a smart group rather lol

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

      Yeah
      I asked him whom he got instead of Nunez
      He has got a 4 premiums team: Haaland, Salah, Kane, and KDB!

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

        Premiums in the mud.

        Still have Salah and Kane 45 mins each. Let's see.

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He was a great pick this week. He's just awkward price so a lot of people couldn't make the move. Thats what happened to me.

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

        I was 0.1 short so had to go Firmino

      Mili was on the bench 🙁 Zaha is the worst designated pen taker in PL.

  21. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Baring injuries unlimited transfers aren't going to be much use to me, I'll probably only change my keepers and my 5th defender

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Subtle brag

  22. space mercenary
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Foden and Mitro to Darwin and Almiron starting to look a bit rosier after that Foden goal. Wish I had put the armband on Darwin and not Salah now :-/

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

    Rodrigo still smashing it!

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

      Can’t believe he’s so low owned!

  24. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Went with Perisic over Robertson, transferred in Konate too 🙂

  25. panda07

    Great assist to the assist by Bobby. How Brazil aren't bringing him to the WC I have no idea.

  26. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Zaha why!!!!

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      we swear not to, but then we go there...

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Mili was on the bench

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

      Always a troll

  27. Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Salah is not looking good, not his day. Hopefully he can still get some points

    1. Free Hat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      The only game he really looked good was the city one.

      1. Gentle_Turks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah he was rubbish against Spurs, only getting a brace 🙂

        1. Free Hat
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          You can score twice without playing good football...

  28. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Played this game for about 11 years and zaha is probably the most fustrating player to own

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      The ultimate FPL troll.

      1. Sgt. Schultz
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Hall of famer surely

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He'll be good in January as he will be angling for a move. Always plays well when the transfer windows are open.

  29. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Darwin in my only success before WC

  30. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Zaha must be one of the worst takers on pen duty.
    If i owned him i would be scared if cry gets one

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

      Why is he even taking them?

      1. Free Hat
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Otherwise he will whine and moan 90 min long
