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.

  1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    11 months, 23 days ago

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

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Why is that?

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        11 months, 23 days ago

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

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 months, 23 days ago

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

          1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
            11 months, 23 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
              11 months, 23 days ago

              When will you use it otherwise though

              1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
                11 months, 23 days ago

                No idea

    2. Brosstan
      11 months, 23 days ago

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

  2. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Murillo 9 DC? already

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Mukiele too

  3. FantasyTony
    11 months, 23 days ago

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

  4. F4L
    11 months, 23 days ago

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

  5. Amartey Partey
    11 months, 23 days ago

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

  6. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 months, 23 days ago

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

    1. Bobby Digital
      11 months, 23 days ago

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

      1. FantasyTony
        11 months, 23 days ago

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

        1. z13
          11 months, 23 days ago

          This

    2. chocolove
      11 months, 23 days ago

      He ruined Liverpool. All his server already gone

  7. F4L
    11 months, 23 days ago

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

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 months, 23 days ago

      He's been superb

      But Fulham are better at home

      1. F4L
        11 months, 23 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
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Roefs too. 4 saves so far.

  8. Vasshin
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Gapko, virgil, Senesi, Semenyo

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

    Thanks

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Definitely all

    2. Amartey Partey
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Virgil

    3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      11 months, 23 days ago

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

  9. Graziano
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 months, 23 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
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Palace do this most games

  10. Moon Dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 months, 23 days ago

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

    Not the liveliest start to the GW...

  11. More Tragic
    11 months, 23 days ago

    No home goals in 315 mins of football

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Post IB gameweek always is strange

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 months, 23 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 months, 23 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

  12. JBG
    11 months, 23 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
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Callum Wilson says hi

    2. el polako
      11 months, 23 days ago

      ?
      Salah is a good premium now?

      1. JBG
        11 months, 23 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
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Agree 😉

    4. chocolove
      11 months, 23 days ago

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

  13. el polako
    11 months, 23 days ago

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

  14. NABIL - FPL otai
    11 months, 23 days ago

    People buy Virgil for defcon, not for CS..

    1. el polako
      11 months, 23 days ago

      People buy Virgil as their nostalgia fix.

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      11 months, 23 days ago

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

    3. F4L
      11 months, 23 days ago

      would take a 4 pointer today ngl

  15. Sir Michael Taker
    11 months, 23 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.

  16. lilmessipran
    11 months, 23 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
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Exactly

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 months, 23 days ago

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

    3. F4L
      11 months, 23 days ago

      dango wont be winning them for much longer

    4. Deer-in-headlights
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 months, 23 days ago

      I hear Callum Wilson's essential.

    5. Sir Michael Taker
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Schade missed one at Sunderland amongst this too

    6. Ze_Austin
      11 months, 23 days ago

      He had an earlier goal ruled out today

  17. F4L
    11 months, 23 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 months, 23 days ago

      Completely agree!

    2. Fifa las vegas
      11 months, 23 days ago

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

    3. JBG
      11 months, 23 days ago

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

      1. JBG
        11 months, 23 days ago

        Chiesa*

        Holy autocorrect

      2. Fifa las vegas
        11 months, 23 days ago

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

  18. Fifa las vegas
    11 months, 23 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

  19. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 months, 23 days ago

    6 from 6 so far, after -4 to start

  20. F4L
    11 months, 23 days ago

    bournemouth and liverpool have failed, please holddddd palace

  21. Fifa las vegas
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Slot sack watch? 😆

    1. Fifa las vegas
      11 months, 23 days ago

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

    2. JBG
      11 months, 23 days ago

      They should keep him

    3. Fifa las vegas
      11 months, 23 days ago

      At least they spent the least in Net spend terms

  22. F4L
    11 months, 23 days ago

    forest g

    1. F4L
      11 months, 23 days ago

      *sounds like full back to full back

  23. Count of Monte Hristo
    11 months, 23 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.

  24. JBG
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Hahahah

    1. Bobby Digital
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Choked on my drink there

  25. z13
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Anfield is stunned.

  26. pundit of punts
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Klopp back soon?

  27. F4L
    11 months, 23 days ago

    all 3 promoted sides back in the bottom 3...oof

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Huh?

  28. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 months, 23 days ago

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

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 months, 23 days ago

      ...to see...

  29. NABIL - FPL otai
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Bring back Sir Kenny Dalglish

    1. F4L
      11 months, 23 days ago

      roy hodgson is available...

  30. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    11 months, 23 days ago

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