Following on from a dramatic finish in north London, we’ve got two more Premier League matches at 3pm GMT.

It’s not a stellar line-up: it’s 14th v 15th at the Hill Dickinson Stadium and 18th v 17th at the London Stadium.

TEAM NEWS

Changes are few and far between this afternoon but there are a few notable tweaks.

It’s one alteration apiece on Merseyside.

David Moyes makes his first real significant unenforced change since August, with Jake O’Brien losing his ever-present starting record and dropping to the bench.

Tim Iroegbunam comes into the side, so we’ll presumably see James Garner move to right-back.

Thierno Barry gets a chance to make amends for Monday’s horror miss and is again preferred to Beto in attack.

Iliman Ndiaye was passed fit by Moyes yesterday and starts as expected.

Marco Silva’s only alteration is a recall for Sasa Lukic.

Joshua King drops to the bench.

West Ham United, unsurprisingly, are unchanged following their excellent win over Newcastle United last Sunday.

There is one difference from Burnley’s last starting XI: Loum Tchaouna comes in for Josh Laurent. That will likely see the Clarets revert to a back four.

Lyle Foster is on the bench after recovering from illness.

LINE-UPS

Everton XI: Pickford, Garner, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko, Iroegbunam, Gueye, Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish, Barry.

Subs: Travers, McNeil, Beto, O’Brien, Dibling, Coleman, Alcaraz, Rohl, Aznou.

Fulham XI: Leno, Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon, Iwobi, Berge, Lukic, Wilson, Jimenez, Kevin.

Subs: Lecomte, Muniz, Cairney, Adama, Cuenca, Chukwueze, Castagne, King, Smith Rowe.


West Ham United XI: Areola, Wan-Bissaka, Kilman, Todibo, Diouf, Fernandes, Potts, Lucas Paqueta, Bowen, Wilson, Summerville. 

Subs: Hermansen, Walker-Peters, Igor, Luis Guilherme, Rodriguez, Magassa, Soucek, Irving, Golambeckis.

Burnley XI: Dubravka, Walker, Tuanzebe, Esteve, Hartman, Cullen, Florentino, Tchaouna, Ugochukwu, Anthony, Flemming. 

Subs: Weiss, Bruun Larsen, Foster, Edwards, Ekdal, Lucas Pires, Broja, Mejbri, Laurent.

    Evening all.Would you BB?

    Dubravka/Andersen/King/Truffert

    1. #1 Salah Hater
      • 1 Year
      4 months, 21 days ago

      You have 2 whole weeks to make up your mind. Relax.

    2. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      Well, looks like King has been benched this GW..may need a transfer on that one

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 21 days ago

        Just a rest I’d imagine, still very young

    3. ‘Tis the Season
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      Good ebening

  2. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    4 months, 21 days ago

    United went from title contenders to hopeless to comeback kings in about 15 minutes. United fans are hilarious.

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      Good attack, bad defence. 5th/6th place is where they’ll be

      1. #1 Salah Hater
        • 1 Year
        4 months, 21 days ago

        Good squad, good schedule, bad manager.

        1. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          4 months, 21 days ago

          Their first 11 is decent. Their main attack lineup is good. Their squad as a whole is awful. Every time they make those 70 min subs their team goes into the dumpster.

          Dalot, Dorgu, Ugarte, Sesko, Zirkzee. These are the first options United have available on the bench. A single injury to their attackers and their team is crap.

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            4 months, 21 days ago

            Mount is decent imo. You're right the bench is generally crap

          2. #1 Salah Hater
            • 1 Year
            4 months, 21 days ago

            Agree with you but outside City, Liverpool, Arsenal are there many other sides with particularly good options coming off the bench?

            I'd imagine a side like Crystal Palace would kill to be able to bring the likes of Mount, Mainoo, Zirkzee & Sesko off the bench.

            1. NABIL - FPL otai
              • 13 Years
              4 months, 21 days ago

              Fwiw I think Chelsea and Newcastle have better bench than United's. With all the money itb they should at least sign some tried and tested legs like Xhaka, Jorginho, Walker etc to provide cover

              1. Goro Majima
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 6 Years
                4 months, 21 days ago

                Walker at United?! No effing thank you.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      7th is the max they will achieve this season unless miraculous great DM coming in Jan transfers window

    3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      Its year 2035. That guy still hasnt gor a haircut.

  3. JBG
    • 7 Years
    4 months, 21 days ago

    Could do with a Dubravka hattrick

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      Hattrick of PK save? I'd take it

    2. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      Plus 3 save points

  4. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    4 months, 21 days ago

    Armband on Pedro. What could possibly go wrong?

    1. Zalk
      • 14 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      I've got Enzo...I'm seeing a penalty miss and 0-1 wolves

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      2 SOTs and 2 goals

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      Be prepared to get trolled

    4. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      I've got Saka captain and it won't surprise me if he starts limping aroung HT to skip the IB.

    5. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      A hat trick missed penalties?

    6. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      Ditto

  5. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 21 days ago

    Chances of Gyokeres starting or subbing on?

    1. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      Fat

    2. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      Sam_C (reliable team news leaker) suggested that Ars could have a surprise on their bench today.. not sure what that means but could be Gyokores, hope it's not Saka

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 21 days ago

        I didn’t realise Saka was even injured

      2. Sgt. Schultz
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 21 days ago

        Jesus perhaps

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      My bad just checked - it’s 25%

  6. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    4 months, 21 days ago

    Bruno or Mbeumo is the best ManU pick?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      As cheap as possible probably but Bomo is going to Afcon

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      Bruno has more paths to points

      1. Shark Team
        • 8 Years
        4 months, 21 days ago

        People say he plays CDM but I see he’s involved in half the chances his team creates

    3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      I have both, till 16. Bruno for me will keep ticking along the whole season.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 21 days ago

        Both here as well. Think the combo is great differential

      2. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 21 days ago

        Why 16? I thought the fixtures look good until 21

        1. Von Lipwig
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 months, 21 days ago

          AFCON

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            4 months, 21 days ago

            Aah I had actually forgotten

    4. Crazy crazy horse
      • 10 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      Both until 16

    5. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      Have Mbeumo, thinking of doubling up with Amad

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        4 months, 21 days ago

        Afcon coming up

        1. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          4 months, 21 days ago

          5 transfers coming up as well.

  7. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    4 months, 21 days ago

    Cmon Diouf!!

  8. ryacoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 months, 21 days ago

    How on earth is Mbeumo so low on the bonus?

    1. Studs Up
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      -7 in total for being tackled 4 times, offside twice and a shot off target...

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      Yeah it's odd

    3. Studs Up
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      Info in the Match Centre

      1. ryacoo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 months, 21 days ago

        TY, I'll check in 30 mins when the webpage loads lol

        1. ryacoo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 months, 21 days ago

          Just checking now - it says Amad got +2 pts for pass completion with 74%, Mbeumo got 0 with 82%, what's that about?

          1. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            4 months, 21 days ago

            Pass completion is a number of passes completed. Not a percentage. Mbeumo didnt hit the treshhold. If he had 2 more passes he would have gotten the +bps and would also have gotten into the bonus points. Fine margins.

            1. ryacoo
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              4 months, 21 days ago

              Mbeumo completed 23/28, Amad 23/31

              1. Brosstan
                • 11 Years
                4 months, 21 days ago

                Yes. Need 30 attempted passes with a minimum of 70% completion rate for BPS.

                1. Brosstan
                  • 11 Years
                  4 months, 21 days ago

                  So not completed, attempted, minor mistake in what I said above!

                  1. ryacoo
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 10 Years
                    4 months, 21 days ago

                    Oh right, I see. Thanks for the explanation

    4. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      Ridged as always

    5. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      Dispossessions and no positive contributions in terms of chances created outside of the goal itself.

  9. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    4 months, 21 days ago

    Bruno is so annoying lol

    Would have been Ok with 2 points from Vicario

  10. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    4 months, 21 days ago

    barry wastes ndiaye assist

    water is wet

  11. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    4 months, 21 days ago

    My GW1 pick Ndiaye will surely score again today after I ditched him with WC GW10. Silly me

    1. FplmorelikeFml
      • 2 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      Jinx? I'll have to reverse jinx this. I'm sure Ndiaye will blank with this poor performance!

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 21 days ago

        Lol

  12. nanxun
    • 4 Years
    4 months, 21 days ago

    Thierno Barry is so bad.

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      Still better than Sesko?

      1. nanxun
        • 4 Years
        4 months, 21 days ago

        Not for me.

  13. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 21 days ago

    Richa with 2 bonus points after such game and yc looool, let’s get rid of that BPS system finally

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      Makes zero sense.

    2. Studs Up
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      It's not that difficult to understand

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 21 days ago

        Gosh man, he had a bad game, let’s stop justifying everything around

    3. Make FPL Casual Again
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      Yeah I finally sold the little effer after most were predicting almost 0% of starting

  14. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    4 months, 21 days ago

    Shouldnt ricardilson lose bps for yc? Mbeumbo owner

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      He did lose bps but not enough.

      People who whine about Mbeumo no bonus cant have watched the game. Offsides, shot off target, dispossessions, 0 chances created, generally uninvolved (didnt even hit the +bps treshhold for passes completed). You dont automatically get bonus in a game with 4 goals with 1 goal if you dont do anything else. Im also a Mbeumo owner but he didnt deserve any bonus.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 months, 21 days ago

        Ok cheers i didnt watch and just getting desperste but will take 7 points

      2. FplmorelikeFml
        • 2 Years
        4 months, 21 days ago

        Thank you for this! Been rather annoying seeing so complain about the bps just cos it doesn't suit them

  17. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    4 months, 21 days ago

    How essential it is to have the likes of Virgil, Gakpo or Szobo given the Liverpool fixtures GW12 onwards?

    Studs like Semenyo, Mbeumo, Gabriel, Timber, Munoz and Guehl aside, Is it worth getting em at the disposal of our usual but disposable suspects like Rice, Sarr, Ndiaye, Senesi, VDV, Caicedo, Minteh, etc ?

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      Gakpo is never essential, guy is in and out the team constantly. Not a fan of Virgil personally but definitely has appeal with those fixtures. Paqueta > Szsoboslai for me, he is integral to Liverpool, a true 90 minute man and deadly from set pieces.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 21 days ago

        So only Virgil looks appealing.

        No need to rip apart our team for Liverpool assets right? Not sure if this season's Liverpool is worth playing with fixtures

    2. Freshy

      Lets see if they can keep up the good work tomorrow

      1. NABIL - FPL otai

        Indeed. But I'm being sceptical with their assets

  25. #1 Salah Hater

    Wouldn't be surprised to see Diouf hooked at H/T...

    He's all over the place.

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      He was massive in preseason

  26. Brosstan

    Flemming under the radar?

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years

      Yeah really want to start a Burnley striker every week
