Gylfi Sigurdsson grabs a goal on his return to the Swansea starting XI. Danny Rose earns a second successive start at left-back for Spurs, whilst Mauro Zarate hands Slaven Bilic a dilemma out wide.

After rolling out Part One yesterday, we now turn our attentions to the remaining ten Premier League sides to review the personal, formations and changes made, whilst speculating on the likely Gameweek 11 lineups…

Newcastle

Starting XI: Elliot; Janmaat, Mbemba, Coloccini, Dummett (Thauvin 76); Colback (Anita 50), Tiote (Lascelles 46); Sissoko, Wijnaldum, Perez; Mitrovic.

  • Steve McClaren named an unchanged starting XI for the Tyne-Wear derby, with Cheick Tiote keeping his place in central midfield, while Paul Dummett was fit to start at left-back once again.
  • The Magpies lined up in a 4-4-2 formation, with Ayoze Perez partnering Aleksandar Mitrovic in attack. Georginio Wijnaldum started on the left of the four-man midfield once more.
  • Following Fabricio Coloccini’s sending off on the stroke of half-time, McClaren brought on centre-back Jamaal Lascelles, with Tiote sacrificed. Jack Colback picked up a lower leg injury shortly after, and was replaced by Vurnon Anita in a straight swap. Florian Thauvin was introduced late on as the Magpies looked to get back into the game.
  • Colback picked up his fifth booking of the campaign before his withdrawal, so he’ll miss the home clash against Stoke this weekend regardless of the severity of the injury. Anita should replace him in central midfield. Coloccini, meanwhile, has successfully appealed his weekend dismissal and will be available for selection for the Potters showdown.

Norwich

Starting XI: Ruddy; Martin, Bennett, Bassong, Brady; Redmond, Howson, Tettey, Jarvis; Hoolahan (Jerome 78); Mbokani.

  • Alex Neil made three adjustments from the starting XI against Newcastle last time out, with Ryan Bennett, Matt Jarvis and Wes Hoolahan coming in for Steven Whittaker, Martin Olsson and Graham Dorrans.
  • Bennett played alongside Sebastian Bassong in central defence, with Russell Martin moving to right-back, while having started in a more attacking role last week, Robbie Brady returned to left-back this time around. Jonny Howson partnered Alex Tettey in the double-pivot in the 4-2-3-1 system, with Jarvis on the left of the three advanced midfield positions, Hoolahan in the number ten role and Nathan Redmond on the right.
  • Neil threw on Cameron Jerome for Hoolahan as the Canaries chased a late equaliser.
  • With Norwich falling to a third consecutive defeat, there appear to be few sure starters in the Canaries side. Brady and Olsson are continuing to rotate at left-back, while it remains to be seen if Bennett impressed enough to keep his starting spot at centre-back. Dorrans could come back into contention in central midfield, with Howson perhaps moving to the flank to accomodate his return. Dieumerci Mbokani has picked up an illness since Saturday’s match, and could be a doubt for the trip to the Etihad on Saturday. Jerome would be the obvious replacement should he miss out.

Southampton

Starting XI: Stekelenberg: Soares, Fonte, van Dijk, Bertrand: Clasie (Juanmi 76), Wanyama, Davis: Mane, Pelle, Tadic (Ward-Prowse 64).

  • Ronald Koeman made two changes for the trip to Anfield, with the fit-again Maarten Stekelenburg returning at the expense of Kelvin Davis in goal, while Jordy Clasie came in for James Ward-Prowse.
  • Clasie made his first league start for the Saints alongside Victor Wanyama in the double-pivot in Koeman’s preferred 4-2-3-1 formation. Cedric Soares kept his starting spot at right-back.
  • Ward-Prowse came on for Dusan Tadic, playing on the left of the three advanced midfield positions, while Juanmi made just his third league appearance of the season, replacing Clasie.
  • With Clasie now gaining his first start, the Dutch international could become a regular starter alongside Wanyama in the engine room. That leaves the likes of Davis and Ward-Prowse battling for one position alongside Sadio Mane and Tadic in the three attacking midfield positions. Mane will be free to face Bournemouth on Sunday, with his one-match ban being served against Aston Villa in the Capital One Cup.

Stoke

Starting XI: Butland; Johnson, Cameron (Wilson 9), Wollscheid, Pieters; Whelan, Adam; Shaqiri (Walters 60), Bojan; Arnautovic; Joselu (Crouch 60).

  • Mark Hughes named an unchanged team from the one which won 1-0 against Swansea, with Joselu continuing as the central striker.
  • The Potters continued in their 4-2-3-1 formation, with Bojan starting in the number ten role, although the average position map shows he often played beyond Joselu as the furthest forward.
  • Geoff Cameron pulled up with a thigh problem after just ten minutes, so Marc Wilson was called upon from the bench. Peter Crouch came on for the disappointing Joselu on the hour mark, with Jon Walters replacing Xherdan Shaqiri at the same time.
  • With Joselu struggling, Mame Biram Diouf could be thrust into a first-team return at Newcastle. Other options for the lone striker role include Crouch and Walters. Should Cameron miss out with that thigh injury, Wilson looks the obvious man to step in, unless Ryan Shawcross is deemed ready for a first league appearance of the season. Bojan may be rested for midweek cup duties due to a blistered toe but is expected to return to the XI next weekend.

Swansea

Starting XI: Fabianski; Naughton, Williams, Fernandez, Taylor; Sung-Yeung, Shelvey (Cork 85); Ayew, Sigurdsson, Montero (Barrow 76); Gomis (Eder 90).

  • Garry Monk made three changes for the trip to Villa Park, with Kyle Naughton, Ki Sung-yeung and Gylfi Sigurdsson coming in for Angel Rangel, Jack Cork and Modou Barrow.
  • Naughton slotted back in at right-back for the Swans, while Ki lined up alongside Jonjo Shelvey at the base of midfield in the 4-2-3-1 often favoured by Monk. Sigurdsson played in his customary number ten role, with Ayew returning to the right flank.
  • Barrow replaced Jefferson Montero, and played on the right wing, with Ayew switching to the left.
  • After picking up their first win in six matches, changes appear unlikely for the home clash against Arsenal on Saturday. Cork could challenge Ki for a starting berth in midfield, but Eder is likely to have to settle for a place on the bench once again. Naughton has presumably seen off the claims of Rangel for the right-back role.

Sunderland

Starting XI: Pantilimon; Jones, O’Shea (Coates 37), Kaboul, Yedlin; Cattermole, M’Vila; Lens (Larsson 81), Toivonen (Defoe 36), Johnson; Fletcher.

  • Sam Allardyce made three alterations to the side which lost 1-0 at West Brom, with Ola Toivonen and Adam Johnson coming in for Sebastian Larsson and Jordi Gomez, while Jeremain Lens returned from suspension in place of the injured Fabio Borini.
  • Big Sam stuck with the 4-2-3-1 formation used at the Hawthorns, with Toivonen filling the number ten role, and Lens (left) and Johnson (right) operating on the flanks.
  • Toivonen was forced off with a calf injury, and was replaced by Jermain Defoe, with the Black Cats then lining up in a 4-4-2 formation. Minutes later, John O’Shea picked up a hamstring injury, seeing Sebastian Coates take his place at the heart of the defence.
  • If O’Shea isn’t fit to face Everton on Sunday, Coates should be the one to deputise, with Wes Brown the other obvious option available to Allardyce. Should Toivonen be ruled out, Defoe and Borini – providing the Italian shakes off a foot injury – look like the ones to fill the void. Gomez is another option for Big Sam, particularly if he wants a more defensively minded player in that attacking midfield position in a tougher fixture at Goodison Park. The rest of the starting XI are likely to keep their starting spots given the nature of the first victory of the campaign.

Tottenham

Starting XI: Lloris; Walker (Trippier 82), Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose; Dier, Alli; Lamela, Dembele (Mason 68), Eriksen; Kane (N’Jie 85).

  • Mauricio Pochettino made just one change from the team which drew 0-0 against Liverpool, with Eric Dier returning from suspension in place of the injured Nacer Chadli.
  • Dier slotted into his usual role in the double-pivot alongside Dele Alli, with Mousa Dembele operating in the number ten role. Christian Eriksen played on the left of the three advanced midfield positions, with Erik Lamela on the opposite flank.
  • Ryan Mason made his first league appearance since getting injured when scoring the winning goal at Sunderland in Gameweek 5, replacing Dembele in the central attacking midfield role. Kieran Trippier and Clinton N’Jie provided fresh legs late on with the match already won.
  • With Mason now back to fitness, he could now come into the equation for either Alli or Dembele in the middle of the park. Danny Rose started for the second straight match at left-back, and now seems back ahead of Ben Davies in the pecking order.

Watford

Starting XI: Gomes; Nyom, Britos, Cathcart, Ake; Anya (Paredes 66), Capoue, Watson, Abdi (Behrami 77); Ighalo (Guedioura 88), Deeney.

  • Quique Sanchez Flores made one alteration for the trip to Stoke, with Miguel Britos replacing Sebastian Prodl at centre-back.
  • The Hornets played in their usual 4-2-3-1 formation, with Ben Watson continuing alongside Etienne Capoue at the base of midfield.
  • Ikechi Anya made way for Juan Carlos Paredes in a straight swap on the right of the three attacking midfield positions. Valon Behrami made his first-team return late on, coming on for Almen Abdi, with Flores looking to solidify the midfield area.
  • Following the 2-0 victory, Britos could be set for a run in the side ahead of Prodl. Watson appears likely to keep his starting spot ahead of Behrami for the time being, while Anya looks set to keep playing out-of-position down the right-hand side.

West Brom

Starting XI: Myhill; Dawson, McAuley, Evans, Brunt; Fletcher, Yacob; Sessegnon, Berahino (Gardner 88), McClean; Rondon (Lambert 74).

  • Tony Pulis named an unchanged starting XI for the trip to Norwich, with Stephane Sessegnon keeping his place in the side.
  • Sessegnon played on the right of midfield once again, with Pulis maintaining the 4-4-2 formation. James McClean operated on the opposite flank, with Sadio Berahino starting alongside Salomon Rondon in a front two.
  • Rickie Lambert came on for Rondon in a straight swap, while Craig Gardner was introduced late on to help secure the 1-0 victory.
  • With the Baggies racking up the wins, changes appear unlikely for the visit of Leicester to the Hawthorns. Callum McManaman now looks well behind McClean, in particular, for a starting berth out wide, while the midfield selection could be altered if James Morrison is available: he’s still struggling to overcome an ankle injury.

Current Status: Very Settled
Risk Areas: Flanks

 

West Ham

Starting XI: Adrian; Jenkinson, Collins, Tomkins, Cresswell; Noble (Ogbonna 90), Kouyate, Lanzini (Obiang 82): Payet, Zarate (Carroll 69); Sakho.

  • Slaven Bilic only made one change for the visit of Chelsea to Upton Park, with Mauro Zarate coming in for the ineligible Victor Moses, who is on loan from the Blues.
  • Zarate played on the right of the three advanced midfield positions in Bilic’s preferred 4-2-3-1 system, with Manuel Lanzini shifted over to the left.
  • Andy Carroll came on for Zarate, with Diafra Sakho switching to the right wing. Pedro Obiang was introduced for Lanzini to help see the match out.
  • James Collins again started ahead of Angelo Ogbonna, but the Wales international is under pressure from the former Juventus defender, while Winston Reid could also recover from a back injury to face Watford on Saturday. Zarate was impressive against Chelsea, but with Moses available again, the Croatian faces a difficult decision, while Carroll is also edging closer to gaining his first league start of the campaign. This all means that Sakho’s position as the lone striker is beginning to look slightly vulnerable. The Senegal international could also play as a wide man though, as he did in the latter stages against the champions.

        The corner was headed to the edge of the area, where it was finished. It seemed a significant deflection to me - the goal wouldn't have happened without it - so I thought the rules wouldn't allow it to stand.

        1. boombaba

    6. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Deflection wasn't significant enough

    7. Root
      • 14 Years

      I guess the redirection wasn't "significant".

    8. Ziegler1988
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Probably because Zarate was deemed intended target. It wasn't nearly as bad as that Studge assist last season against Swansea

    9. drughi
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      And sagna didnt get an assist on citys first goal against bournemouth, assists will always be like this unfortunatly. Live with it and move on

      1. Doolittle
        • 13 Years

        Certainly, I'm not complaining, just wanted to know the reasoning.

      Francis for now - Richards can sit on your bench and Watford do look vaguely solid.

      Defenders in - 2 with best runs and most "likely lads" are Coleman + VVD imo 🙂

        He got in Kane and captained him last week based on your fixtures and you know what happened. 😉

    This is my reason for considering getting rid of Payet on my GW12 WC. A look at the table below shows that West Ham have the highest conversion (Leicester are also quite high up so this could apply to their players also) of any team in the PL in the first 10 weeks of the season.

    http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/public-stats-tables/view/11739/

    If West Ham had the median goal conversion rate their goals total would go down from 22 to 14 which would reduce Payet's goal and assist totals to 3 goals and 2-3 assists. These totals are still very good, however, at the start of the season West Ham had one of the easiest sets of fixtures so we should be expecting him to do this well. If we look to the next 8-10 GWs his fixtures get noticeably harder so a reduction in the number of shots they take is to be expected.

    This isn't an exact science though and for all I know Payet could just make it easier for the strikers to score goals by creating better chances for his strikers and his shooting could be better than the vast majority of players. For what it's worth I probably wouldn't consider getting rid of him if I didn't have a wildcard burning a hole in my pocket and would wait for a downturn in form before doing anything.

    1. boombaba
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I do not see the need to sell him. Hes still getting points? as long as players get points you should hold.

      Your just hoping he stops getting gains really.

      1. Mull
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        It's not that I don't think he'll get points I just think Mane will get more.

        1. Rolls-Royce
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Exactly.

      2. AK ⭐
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        It's not much about hope, but obviously with a high conversion rate, it has to come down to league standards soon. The goals will dry down just like Swansea's did, it's just a matter of when.

        1. boombaba
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Which is why I said while players get points you should hold.... not sell and hope it was the correct time. Just my opinion anyway.

          1. Mull
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 3 months ago

            The game is about predicting future points. If signs point to a player scoring less points you should at least consider it. This is a very extreme example though.

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      If theres anything that makes me sell Payet, its West Ham suffering a drop in form. They did it last year, can see it happening this year as well

    3. I Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Payet has produced returns against Arsenal, City and Chelsea. Not too worried about his fixtures.

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Table was set to 4 matches. It's dropped when compared to last 4 against the season.

      1. AK ⭐
        • 13 Years

        Tell me you didn't see this coming, Mull. 😉

    5. HNI
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Even i thot of dropping him on WC last week but looked into his opta stats and he is actually heart beat of all shots that WHAM create! Like on average he gives 6-7 shot assists every match which is pretty high! He is like Ozil of WHam without Sanchez and other mids stealing your points!

      Mane Payet Mahrez Sanchez KDB is way to go till Aguero returns thn simply Vardy + KDB--> 4.5 + Kun

    6. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I might be selling on WC this week. See how the cookie crumbles with the midweeks.

    7. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I thought I was only one here considering selling Payet for Mane. Nice post. Confidence incresed.

    8. cassanata
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Have you seen him play? Maybe their excellent conversion rate is due to him being a class player and his finishing and assists being so good. I think you'd be crazy to get rid of him.

      1. Mull
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        I have and he's very good. I even mentioned about him being class as the reason it might be so good but it's still worth considering every move on a WC.

    9. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Please sell him. Less owners means more rises through the ranks when he inevitably scores well most weeks.

    10. rozzo
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      A classic case of overthinking. Keep it simple. He has returned points in 80% of his games this season.

      At least wait til he goes 3 or 4 games without doing anything. I guess you have got bored of the constant 6 and 7s.

      1. Mull
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        It is massively over thinking it. I'm probably not going to get rid but it's good to consider everything imo.

          Mahrez of those but if you have soo much money in bank i reckon you do Ighalo-->Luka/Pelle as its more long term and save remaining cash for Kun....

          1. Total Foot 5

            Pelle i already have. Luka no chance been burned by him prev seasons, dont trust him.

            thinkin payet ut, his fxt get tricky, and is more expensive that mahrez..no?

        Thanks for suggestion will consider

    2. boombaba

      I like Coleman in the team

      Can you squeeze in Lukaku or Bony though?

      1. Eden Azzzar
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        No funds would try squeeze them in if I could

  15. vardys party
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Hart (Hennessy)
    Alderweireld Cedric Dawson (Clyne Francis)
    Mahrez Sanchez Payet KDB (Westwood)
    Pelle Vardy Martial

    $4m ITB

    Which of these is better:
    a) Martial to Lukaku
    b) Westwood to Mane and use Mahrez as the 5th mid
    c) both for a hit

    Leaning towards A, as B gives me a benching headache. Though i think B and C are the better squads

    I'm still mulling over Pedro for my draft team.....he has a pretty good 'threat' rating in the members section

    Has anyone watched Chelsea play much?

    His rating would suggest lots of shots / getting in to good positions etc?

    1. HNI
      • 12 Years

      Is this GW 1?!

      Chelsea are the Moyes Manutd of this season....expect nothing

    2. Eden Azzzar

      Gets in good positions clueless at shooting though

    Sorry for X-Post:

    Thinking this:

    DDG (Hennessey)
    Janmaat-Monreal-Coleman (Dawson, Williams)
    Barkley-Sanchez-Mane-KDB (Ayew)
    Mitro-Ighalo-Pelle

    Toying with playing Dawson over Monreal...

    using my 2 FT to bring in DDG and Barkley. Any transfer worth a -4? (1.9 ITB)

    Cheers.

    Guys Is Nathan Ake nailed now that he started last 3 matches? Before Anya used to take his gametime but now he has shifted to right flank and taking Nyom minutes....Want him cuz he is 4.4mn and I want 0.1 to do Dawson-->Phil Jones next week

                it doesn't take a lot of scrolling to find you asking the same question on two articles so quiet down:

                Papa Souare is nailed and dint play only becuz unfit right? Or Mariappa will threaten his place now?

    I feel like I ask this question every week - are Hazard owners keeping for another week? If I don't get any responses I know I am the only sucker left with him.

    1. HNI

      Congrats You are Unique!

      Amazing you kept 11mn wasted till now....Must be over confident chelsea fan or way good tv that 11mn is peanuts to you

      The fact that you've had to ask every week is a pretty good indication that you shouldn't still be holding him.

      A friend of mine said
      "I still want to hold on faith with Hazard, he was so great last year, maybe I am just living in the past! ...good to have a potential differential"

      I responded that Hazard:
      a) is lacking form
      b) would never really "explode" - 2 goals was his ceiling because Chelsea's strategy was to burn a team in the first 40 mins then sit back on the 2 or 3 -0 they had
      c) is taking up a space an in form player could have in your team OR is taking up $$$ you could spend elsewhere

    5. Rasping Drive

      No chance on earth I am keeping him.

    2. HNI

      First win in a long time for them then...but should lose to Liverpool and have last of Mourinho complaining and insulting refs

      1. boombaba
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Even though Chelsea are bad.

        Liverpool could not even beat Kazan who had not won away in atleast 6 games and they had 10 men for 45 mins.

        Both are terrible. Probably be 0-0.

        Origi couldnt score in a brothel, bigger waste of money than falcao.

      2. Woeisme
        • 13 Years

        Unlikely to lose to Liverpool though

    Does anyone know if Jones (MNU) is 1st choice when fit? I'm on a wildcard and want to bring in some MNU defence.

    1. Eden Azzzar
      • 10 Years

      Smalling mate

    2. boombaba
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      no hes garbage, blind or rojo i would of thought would be ahead of him to partner smalling.

      he will play some games but not nailed

      1. Aguerrrooooooo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        balls. not what I wanted to hear lol

    3. vardys party
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Think "when fit" is the key bit here. He's not worth having. Smalling or De Gea are only nailed defenders

      1. boombaba
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        I agree.

    4. HNI
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I am thinking same next week...just be assured your other 4 defenders are nailed....I think that guy has potential as he is just 23 and Van Gaal sees him and Smalling as England CB partnership for next 3-4 years

      1. Aguerrrooooooo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        yeah im tempted to take a risk at that price. can move him on if he gets dropped

    Regardless of whether you own the player or not. Who would you say are the top 2 players in defence, midfield and attack, to own with just Gameweek 11 in mind?

    I'm gonna say this again whilst i wished i'd followed it last week

    There's no right or wrong way to play FPL, if you have a gut feeling, or think something is a good move do it

    Says the guy who didn't follow through on buying Kane last week and hasn't bought Kolarov back on wc

    Literally can't find anything on Baines' return despite him being expected back next week (7th Nov) according to FPL.

    Anyone on here know anything? Keen to get him in asap based on fixtures and the thought of being ahead of the curve/price rise

    1. boombaba

      Coleman all day long.

  28. bennett661
    • 13 Years

    Anybody who has Vardy contemplating benching him this wkend?

    My midfields forwards are:

    Sanchez/KdB/Payet/Mane/Wijnaldum
    Lukaku/Pelle

    Vardy is on bench.....cant choose a mf to drop to bring him in.

    1. boombaba
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I would not bench the most inform player in the premier league. Would you?

    2. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      AOA if avail. if not Vardy sounds good.

    3. Morgs
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Definitely pick Vardy. I'd be benching Wijnaldum out of those.

    4. HNI
