There’s one more Premier League game to come today: Nottingham Forest v Manchester City.

Kick-off at the City Ground is at 17:30 GMT.

TEAM NEWS

Despite last Saturday’s post-game rant and pledge to “change things”, Oliver Glasner has made only two alterations to his Forest XI.

Daniel Munoz and Ryan Yates come into the side, with Ola Aina and Dan Ndoye making way.

Munoz had only been on the bench in Gameweek 9 for fitness reasons.

As for the visitors, Enzo Maresca makes three alterations to the side that beat RB Leipzig on Wednesday.

Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol and Jeremy Doku come in for Matheus Nunes, Nico O’Reilly and Phil Foden.

It means that Marc Guehi and Rayan Cherki both start, having dropped to the bench in City’s last Premier League outing.

LINE-UPS

Nottingham Forest XI: Sels, Munoz, Cunha, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams, McAtee, Yates, Schlager, Gibbs-White, Delap.

Subs: Victor, Diomande, Netz, Sangare, Hudson Odoi, Ndoye, Wood, Jesus, Kalimuendo.

Manchester City XI: Donnarumma, Khusanov, Dias, Guehi, Gvardiol, Anderson, Fernandez, Ndiaye, Cherki, Doku, Haaland.

Subs: Rulli, Kovacic, Reis, Nunes, Bouaddi, O’Reilly, Allan, Foden, Lewis.

    This is the Delap we saw against Villa. When he's good, he's really good. Just needs a bit of consistency.

    Glasner outsprinting an active PL player on his team at 52, is quite impressive.

      Tbf City should be right next to them with -20 pts

      1. SM001
        14 hours, 34 mins ago

        -20 is generous.

      2. GCHILD2K16
        11 hours, 30 mins ago

        Likely to minimum 35/40 - 50+ points range if as expected the appeal fails as the grounds they are using is identical to the grounds they used during the intial tribunal.

      No one saw this coming. Arsenal were lucky to get a clean sheet at Hull with 2 chances Raya could not have saved.
      Chalk it up to the game and enjoy the international break and try again Nov 23 ;-p

        Just a friendly word of advice - many of your posts say "if you'd listened to me", or similar. It comes across as patronising and it's why you get no interactions. I've read some of your posts, although most are way too long, and would be better submitted as articles. Some is decent advice, and some is not. You've not really developed the legitimacy on here to keep saying "if you'd listened to me" etc. Just saying "in my opinion" is a better phrase to use.

        1. GCHILD2K16
          10 hours, 44 mins ago

          Cheers for the suggestion. We are all grownups here and who would know we are sharing suggestions or stating facts which should not patronising to anyone rational v emotional. If my suggestion have been correct so far on the whole, that is the legitimacy. Aim is to make the correct call on players more often than not.
          PS.I am not on here to gain interactions but thanks for assuming that.

          For the mature ones out there, If what I say work and you listen to it, good. If you choose not to, let it fly;-p It is your team that will either gain or lose, PLAY THE GAME not your emotions.

    Surely he’ll do the lap of honour after the game.

      He topped Pep’s pepping.

    2. Bobby Digital

      Where to put the extra 10m?

      1. have you seen cyan
        14 hours, 24 mins ago

        They should add interest into the game - earn a bit of interest each week for money saved in the bank.

        Not really serious about that idea, but could be an interesting concept!

        1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
          14 hours, 18 mins ago

          Or just extra points if you don’t spend full budget

        2. Zod
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          This is an idea I wanted years ago when money was really tight.

          1. have you seen cyan
            13 hours, 39 mins ago

            I don't think it would harm the game. Could be trialed for a season. Probably a pretty low interest rate, but just enough to make it saving some money worthwhile.

            Wouldn't really work right now though with the distinct lack of premiums. But if we finally get back to 4/5 premiums, it could shake things up.

    Grealish loan at Everton cancelled for discipline reasons - not turning up to training, drinking etc.

    1. el polako
      14 hours, 22 mins ago

      Kids these days.
      90’s players would turn up to training drunk.

      1. have you seen cyan

        and smoking! 😀

    2. Moon Dog

      They were rumoured to be paying him 90% of his salary (~200k pw)

      Maybe they can pick up Sancho for free.

      1. have you seen cyan
        14 hours, 20 mins ago

        Apparently no one wants Sancho I read the other day. Even at a ridiculously cut wage. Cant blame them.

        Shame about Grealish, was a great player before City.

    As someone who has Bogle, Gabriel (C), KDH and Barry in my team. Haaland is most definitely my player of the week.

      11 hours, 8 mins ago

      Arsenal have not played well the last 3 - 4 games and were luckly to get those wins and CS.
      I would be surprised if it continues when they start facing some managers/teams that don't give fk and are more clinically offensively than leeds and Hull.

      My captain so fingers crossed.
      Last season everytime I took on Haalands captain I didn’t bring any significant results.

    Haaland to Isak looks tempting

    Fixtures both change now

    Liverpool starting to hit form

    Gabriel comes in as second captain

    1. #1 Arne Engels Fan

      "Liverpool starting to hit form"

      Yes enables Bruno too

    3. Ignasi M
      10 hours, 50 mins ago

      Have both if possible? Forest away is always tough, and harder in the evening kick offs when the home crowd is more up for it. Notts Forest are the second best defensively defending balls in the box so Haaland was always going to be hard for Haaland today. City have Fulham at home next...

  23. Old Wulfrunian
    14 hours, 18 mins ago

    Best pick to replace Barnes up to 6.3?

    a)Manzabi(Have Jackson)
    b)Rayan(Have Tavernier)
    c)Gross

    1. Fifa las vegas

      Would need to see the games, not overly convinced by any yet!

      1. Old Wulfrunian

        I guess it depends if Gross gets or not his fifth yellow card.

    Upgrade Haaland to Barry, or wait a week?

    Isak cap looks pretty hopeful right now, but I know how this normally goes. Pool will win 3-0, Isak with zero involvement.

    1. JBG
      14 hours, 14 mins ago

      Doubt it, Isak only real goal threat

    2. GREEN JUMPERS

      If Liverpool get 3, way more likely than not Isak is involved

  27. Pointless

    I’ve made my first decent call of the season! Sold Gvardiol, brought in Gabriel and captained him over Haaland. I don’t usually post brags, but I feel in a better space after a terrible start to the season getting all the big calls wrong!

    1. have you seen cyan

      sounds like your gut needs recalibrating.

    2. have you seen cyan
      14 hours, 1 min ago

      I think I do best in FPL when I follow my gut or initial thoughts. So much noise these days from content creators and template picks. Its hard not to get swayed by it, even subconsciously.

      My start this season is to mainly go with what I initially think at the start of the gameweek, before I consume any content.

      Isak hasn't played this week, and he may be a cap fail, but in content creator polls I didn't even see Isak as a poll option most of the time.

      Palace have been trash, most conceded chances or something in the league, and Pool were pretty attacking last week. So I'm not sure why he wasn't in most of their polls. Especially when Arsenal defenders were..

      1. Utopsis
        13 hours, 54 mins ago

        Exactly this.

        After getting Isak, I really wanted to cap him. But last time I went against Haaland I was punished. Then I heard that Haaland scored loads of goals against Glasner's Palace last few seasons, and my gut was killed.

        In GW8, my gut said Palmer (C) - mega fail, - 1. GW6, gut said Bruno (C) against a struggling Spurs - they decide to turn their season around that day. Both times, punished richly as popular picks all returned.

        But you're right, I'm going to stop overthinking, that's way more time and mental-capacity consuming and is zapping the fun out of football atm. Time to take it less seriously!

        1. have you seen cyan
          13 hours, 52 mins ago

          More fun if its all your own thinking. Most of the time you already call what the template will do anyway.

          It is however still hard to go against massive EO when it comes to captains. I still bottle differential caps a lot.

          1. Utopsis
            11 hours, 36 mins ago

            Every single person in my main ML went Haaland bar 1 - could have been a week for huge gains.
