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.

Current Status: Fairly Settled
Risk Areas: Central Defence, Flanks

 

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.

    Dawson out for ?

    A) Phil Jones

    B) Coleman

    Im thinking Jones, and with Valencia being a doubt he seems to be pretty nailed for the next month or so bar any injuries. Coleman would be nice but Everton seem worrisome

      It's a tough one sir.

      A has great fixtures and decent goal threat but also a risk of rotation/injury

      B has great fixtures, decent goal/assist threat and is nailed on (but more expensive).

      I'd say it's almost even but I'd lean towards PJ. We all need MUN cover defensively for the foreseeable future I feel.

        Thanks again Midwicket! You're not wrong, hoping Jones can keep his place for that foreseeable future lol.

          It's just tough, Jones could get dropped whenever he plays poorly or gets a little niggle. Smalling/DDG are the ones I'd look to get I think.. As someone said, Blind might get the nod a few times over the next few months. Can you live with that?

          Everton's defence is so suspect at the moment, not sure Coleman is worth it. He's also pretty expensive..

            Yeh definately, thats my worry. LVG has dropped Mata on occasion without prior warning so i guess anything could happen to the back line. Maybe Rojo is a better option? But like you say, Smalling and DDG are the only ones guaranteed, just dont like their prices lol.

            Already have Cresswell and not overly pleased with his points return so Coleman conceding would be awful lol.

            The opinions are great though, lots of food for thought.

            This is my worry, a gamble is never a bad thing though lol, although having both Jones and Kolarov not playing would not totally kill my remaining 3 but certainly decrease points.

            I'm just hoping that because they kept a clean sheet against City that United's back line will remain the same.

        I have £2m or so left but want to keep most of that at bay for when Kun returns. Hoolihan is my 5th mid but id rather keep him and stick to playing 3-4-3 to avoid any benching problems.

        It does seem as though the defence will become the new differential as most teams have the same front 7/8.

        I just cant see Dawson keeping any clean sheets in their upcoming 6 fixtures, rather have the option to play him without getting 2 or less points.

          I mean if he played through it, he may have aggravated it..for FPL reasons, I didn't need it to be serious, just that he would miss Palace

      Keeping Darmian is just plain silly. Price going down and his place is clearly a constant rotation threat. Get rid.

      Was wondering the same thing... same price, both seem nailed on... but Dier playing in front of the defence atm, take advantage of that out of position ? Also lower ownership for Dier, so better differencial maybe... but it's definitely a tough choice !! Wating for the watchlist to make up my mind !!

    For those of us with two Leicester attackers & two brom defenders, would it be a good idea to hedge our bets and play the bench boost chip?

    I know the cry will be to save it for a double gameweek, but if I have a fully fit squad right now (and I'm thinking of bringing in a second playing 'keeper for McCarthy), wouldn't it be better to use it to solve my benching dilemma?

    The WBA-lei fixture is a classic case of attack versus defence, and I'm genuinely confused about who to play. Now in one sense I KNOW that the chip is - to some extent - going to be wasted, as the full quartet of Mahrez, Vardy, Dawson & Evans (many will have Myhill instead of the second Brom def) cannot all return points.

    But how often do you get a full-house in FPL, with every starting player returning decent points? I've not seen that happen once in my team in 10 seasons playing it. And what goes for a regular week follows for the bench boosted week, too. I've seen people saying don't try to use the perfect AOA chip, just use it when you think best; I think the same logic should apply to the bench boost chip.

    Before posting I combed the community articles for advice on when to play the chips. Whilst there is still good reason to use the bench boost chip in a DGW, I'm not convinced it'll confer any particular advantage. The consensus seemed to be to keep the SGW players you want (big hitters) and augment your squad with more cheap DGWers than you normally would; playing them all courtesy of the bench boost chip.

    This sounds sensible but at the time this was suggested, budget players like Mahrez, Vardy & Ighalo had yet to be taken seriously as 'season-keepers'. If we now accept that we won't necessarily have to break the bank to put together a good DGW team, then do we need to fall back on the chips?

    And to my mind it doesn't matter whether we get extra points from the bench now or later in the season, if we accept that we won't be toting XV DGWers when the DGWs come around.

    So what do we think? Is it still a waste to use the bench boost chip early, or should we just use it when ever we feel is best?

              Yes. It is different from Stoke. He is now playing people out of position, and does not have the skills available at Crystal Palace.

              So, in my view, it's park the bus away, and good luck, so far.

        Originally I came down on this side of the argument. I wanted to save for a DGW when this article was posted: http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2015/08/12/the-bench-boost-double-gameweek-combination-is-a-fallacy/

        But I'm since having second thoughts. I don't dispute that this would be a bit of a waste (I have to lose out one way or another; and maybe every way, as you suggest) but my point is that I think it's doomed to be wasted to some extent...whether we use it in a DGW or SGW. Full houses just don't occur often enough, in FPL.

      Definitely not the week to play it. I sort of understand your reluctance of wanting to hold it for a DGW but with 28 gameweeks to go there's surely gonna be a better one than this. And even if all of your 15 players aren't fit in the future, using the bench boost when it enables you to play 3 of your 4 benchers can still pay off. Just check back at your gameweek 4 or 6, you would have gotten 16 extra points had you used it then and in both situations you had a player who got 0. Your team looks good and you're on a good streak, no need for it right now.
      I'd personally bench evans and play both vardy and mahrez. Not sure who to bench out of your front 8 though which makes AOA a better option than the bench boost to me

        Thanks for these thoughts! I've had some great feedback to this.

        Yes, AOA was my first instinct. But Janmaat who I would have benched faces Stoke at home, and Coloccini's suspension has been rescinded.

        It was really my disdain over the AOA chip that led to me questioning the bench boost. Is it really so much better?, I wondered. I probably should save it but for me the triple captain chip is far and away the best - that's the one I desperately don't want to waste!

        This being the first year the chips have featured, nobody really knows how useful they will be, but I may be underestimating this one. I still don't think I can see a clear-cut advantage to DGW use but it certainly won't hurt to play it then.

              Based on a total FPL population of 3,542,256, that equates to:

              KbD: 556,134

      Dunno--Maybe in a team that priorities possession and places emphasis on organisation especially when defending, there might not be as many opportunities for him to throw his body on the line to block a shot or make a tackle. Now, nothing stops him from getting injured during training but I won't be surprised to see him end the season without another major injury layoff.

              You only will get double points for another attacker if all 8 of your forward players have two games in a double week. What's the odds!?

              Minimum that's three teams with your trebling up on attacking players, or four teams where you're doubling up.

              Both scenarios very unlikely both in terms of the availability and affordability of quality options, so you're more likely needing a minimum of 6 teams all with a double week and you having full coverage across your entire forward 8.

              Do you not agree?

                I'm confused. If you play AOA in normal week, then you get to play 8 attackers. If you play AOA in a DGW and the 8th attacker that you're playing has a DGW, then you get more points. Yes maybe that means you only get double points for one more player, but it's not nothing.

                  Yes, but if 7 of your attackers play one game, and your "8th attacker" plays two, you could have just played him instead of one of the other 7 and saved the chip.

                  You only benefit from AOA on a DGW if all 8 of your attacking play two matches. Otherwise, you can just bench one of your 8 that doesn't have two games.

                  Do you get what I mean?

                      Cheers mate! 😀

                      Triple Captain and Bench Boost are much better chips for your DGWs

                      I would suggest that AOA is great as a safety chip when you're struggling with injuries in your defence, they've all got bad games, or on one of the game weeks around a DGW when a number of your players don't even have a game.

                  Actually... to explain it better...

                  If 7 of your attacking players all had two games in a DGW (which in itself is unlikely), you could benefit from all of these double-games without using your AOA chip.

                  Unless you get all them doubling up it's pointless. 🙂

        Heard it on here once that it's difficult to provide security for both stadiums and the roads. That's why city rivals have perfect rotation.

    Anyone out there still have Puncheon? Are you keeping the faith, he seems to be nailed on despite not offering much to an otherwise decent attacking team?
