Five more matches follow on from Chelsea’s win at Burnley, all of them getting underway at 3pm GMT:

TEAM NEWS

The absence of Antoine Semenyo from the Bournemouth matchday squad is the headline team news from the mid-afternoon matches.

Justin Kluivert, like Semenyo, misses out through injury, while Veljko Milosavljevic and Adam Smith drop to the bench.

Lewis Cook, David Brooks, Bafode Diakite and budget forward Eli Junior Kroupi come into the starting line-up.

Nuno Espirito Santo makes two enforced changes as Lucas Paqueta is suspended and Crysencio Summerville is absent.

Igor Julio and Luis Guilherme get rare starts.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has made five changes to the side beaten 3-0 at the Etihad.

Alisson is back from injury and starts, while Milos Kerkez, Curtis Jones, Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo get recalls.

Conor Bradley and Florian Wirtz are injured, while Giorgi Mamardashvili, Andrew Robertson and Hugo Ekitike have to make do with substitute duty.

Opponents Nottingham Forest are unchanged.

At Molineux, Rob Edwards takes charge of Wolverhampton Wanderers for the first time.

David Moller Wolfe, Emmanuel Agbadou, Marshall Munetsi and Tolu Arokodare benefit from the managerial change by getting recalls.

Santiago Bueno, Hugo Bueno, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Hwang Hee-chan make way.

After missing out in Gameweek 11, Marc Guehi is back from injury to start for Crystal Palace.

Yeremy Pino also returns to the side as Jaydee Canvot and Jefferson Lerma drop to the bench.

At Craven Cottage, Joshua King comes in for the suspended Sasa Lukic for Fulham’s clash with unchanged Sunderland.

Omar Alderete is among the visitors’ substitutes after his recent spell out.

It’s one defensive change apiece at the Amex, as Olivier Boscagli and Kristoffer Ajer are preferred to Lewis Dunk and Aaron Hickey.

  1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years

    I think I might've changed my mind on FH next GW

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 28 days ago

      Why is that?

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        Liverpool is no good. Can get two more City players in with a hit.

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          It’s not as straightforward. I have 2x City already

          1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
            • 9 Years
            4 months, 28 days ago

            It's not as straightforward, but when I look at my team I don't think it's FH worthy compared to a couple of transfers

            1. FPL Blow-In
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              4 months, 28 days ago

              When will you use it otherwise though

              1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
                • 9 Years
                4 months, 28 days ago

                No idea

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 28 days ago

      Same.. FHing just to mainly get in overpriced Salah seems not worth it.

  2. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 months, 28 days ago

    Murillo 9 DC? already

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 28 days ago

      Mukiele too

  3. FantasyTony
    • 8 Years
    4 months, 28 days ago

    If only the Liverpool players were as motivated for the team to win as Stockley Park.

  4. F4L
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 28 days ago

    blimey wolves with 33 clearances in the first half as a team

  5. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    4 months, 28 days ago

    Callum Wilson at home to Liverpool next GW looks a good transfer!

  6. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 months, 28 days ago

    I can‘t wait for Salah leaving the squad for AFCON.
    Hate him with a passion. Selfish mug.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 28 days ago

      Yeah Gakpo was wide open in the middle when he decides to shoot it with the outside of his boot.

      1. FantasyTony
        • 8 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        Ah Salah has earned the right to shoot. Cmon like.

        1. z13
            4 months, 28 days ago

            This

      2. chocolove
        • 15 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        He ruined Liverpool. All his server already gone

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 28 days ago

      dont own but mukiele is on for a haul if sunderland hold fulham out

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        He's been superb

        But Fulham are better at home

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          yeah

          miss muniz, big loss. no issue with raul but muniz is just abit more dynamic

      2. Do I Not Like Orange
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        Roefs too. 4 saves so far.

    3. Vasshin
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 28 days ago

      Gapko, virgil, Senesi, Semenyo

      Who to remove first
      1. All
      2. Any, please specify

      Thanks

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        Definitely all

      2. Amartey Partey
        • 6 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        Virgil

      3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        I transfered in VVD and Senesi this week. Looked brilliant moves on paper.

    4. Graziano
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 months, 28 days ago

      XG is no unrepresentative at times. Palace dominated the game and could have scored 3 goals easily.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        Palace do this most games

    5. Moon Dog
        4 months, 28 days ago

        Thiago and Enzo owners the only ones with joy so far.

        Not the liveliest start to the GW...

      • More Tragic
        • 10 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        No home goals in 315 mins of football

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 9 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          Post IB gameweek always is strange

          1. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            4 months, 28 days ago

            It banged for BB a month ago

            A lot can happen in the second half

            Mateta hat trick in Gw8 for example

        2. Sir Michael Taker
          • 11 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          Not that shocked. Liverpool maybe but they are a mess and against Dycheball. Fulham, Burnley and Wolves attack probably 3 of the worst if not the worst. Brighton are not trustworthy as a team, if you expect them to do something they will do the opposite. Bournemouth big injury problems

      • JBG
        • 7 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        Such a shame Salah will be leaving for AFCON, will leave Haaland as only good premium

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          Callum Wilson says hi

        2. el polako
          • 8 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          ?
          Salah is a good premium now?

          1. JBG
            • 7 Years
            4 months, 28 days ago

            For the people who held on to him up until now over Haaland he is.

            For the Haaland owners who didn't own him, he's a golden pick.

        3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 9 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          Agree 😉

        4. chocolove
          • 15 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          We went thru it for 12 gw now. What's the difference?

      • el polako
        • 8 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        Come on Mateta(c) give me something.
        Don’t punish going against the Robot.

      • NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        People buy Virgil for defcon, not for CS..

        1. el polako
          • 8 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          People buy Virgil as their nostalgia fix.

        2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 9 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          He is at 5. Will he even get that this game?

        3. F4L
          • 11 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          would take a 4 pointer today ngl

      • Sir Michael Taker
        • 11 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        The model men (and the CCs by and large believe in these models) because they need large samples to be confident rely on previous seasons too much instead of what is happening now. This Liverpool team is a shadow of 24/25. Same thing happened with Man City last season when they had their hideous spell and eventually were a very distant 3rd place, models saying they were great, tough fixture.

      • lilmessipran
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        Whats up with Bre getting a pen every game? I will buy Thiago next gw now watch them dry up

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          Exactly

        2. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          This is FPL. Mateta will get 2 penalties instead no doubt

        3. F4L
          • 11 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          dango wont be winning them for much longer

        4. Deer-in-headlights
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          I hear Callum Wilson's essential.

        5. Sir Michael Taker
          • 11 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          Schade missed one at Sunderland amongst this too

        6. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          He had an earlier goal ruled out today

      • F4L
        • 11 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        really surprised chiesa gets such little game time in the league. swear he looks lively whenever he plays in cups and the rare occasion coming off the bench

        1. Jogsi
          • 11 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          Completely agree!

        2. Fifa las vegas
          • 13 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          You’d think they’d give him more of a chance in such horrid form alright

        3. JBG
          • 7 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          Dr.Eggman doesn't want to get Salah angry. Chinese plays in his position

          1. JBG
            • 7 Years
            4 months, 28 days ago

            Chiesa*

            Holy autocorrect

          2. Fifa las vegas
            • 13 Years
            4 months, 28 days ago

            It might kick him into action a little if he did anger him!

      • Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        Shaping up to be on par with the last GW.

        I was late getting Woltemade, I’ll be late bringing in Thiago now as well. F**k this game

      • Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        6 from 6 so far, after -4 to start

      • F4L
        • 11 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        bournemouth and liverpool have failed, please holddddd palace

      • Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        Slot sack watch? 😆

        1. Fifa las vegas
          • 13 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          I shouldn’t be laughing as a United fan, but still it’s the little things

        2. JBG
          • 7 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          They should keep him

        3. Fifa las vegas
          • 13 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

      • Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        Why is Bowen so useless now? West Ham scoring goals and he continues to do nothing.

        Also, James and Pedro with a 1 pointer even though Chelsea win 2-0

        Wish I had those 5FT already.

      • JBG
        • 7 Years

          At least I didn't take a hit to get Alisson for Pope 🙂 Interesting to whether starting Dubravka was correct call.

          Not owned a Liverpool player all season apart from Salah in GW4 & GW5 (got 14 points), they’re dreadful
