Raphinha and Jimenez return to starting XIs as Armstrong is benched again

Four more Premier League matches kick off at 3pm BST today: Crystal Palace v Newcastle United, Everton v Watford, Leeds United v Wolverhampton Wanderers and Southampton v Burnley,

Raphinha is back in the Leeds United starting XI today, replacing Tyler Roberts in Marcelo Bielsa’s only alteration from the team that he sent out in Gameweek 8.

Kalvin Phillips is on the bench after a calf injury.

As for the visitors, Raul Jimenez is back in the Wolves team despite some pre-match concerns over game-time for the Mexican. He and Rayan Ait-Nouri are in for Ruben Neves and Marcal, who isn’t even among the substitutes.

Richarlison is only fit enough for a place on the Everton bench, with Anthony Gordon and Tom Davies in for Abdoulaye Doucoure and Alex Iwobi the two changes that Rafael Benitez has made.

Jeremy Ngakia, Joshua King and Ozan Tufan are brought in at the expense of Danny Rose, Emmanuel Dennis and Kiko Femenia by Claudio Ranieri.

It’s one change apiece at St Mary’s, with Theo Walcott replacing Moussa Djenepo and Erik Pieters in for Charlie Taylor.

Adam Armstrong is only among the substitutes for the Saints, with budget forward Armando Broja stationed up top.

Patrick Vieira makes one change to the Crystal Palace team that drew 2-2 at Arsenal on Monday, with Michael Olise in for Jordan Ayew. Wilfried Zaha is only on the bench after recovering from illness.

Newcastle caretaker boss Graeme Jones makes two tweaks to the Newcastle team named by Steve Bruce in his final game in charge of the Magpies, with Emil Krafth and Ryan Fraser in for Joe Willock and Joelinton.

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

          Agreed, I don't have any Leeds players but certainly wouldn't be selling with Norwich next.

  12. SouthCoastSaint
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Rival had Mount and Rudiger which is fine.

    Starting Lowton when he gets an assist I cannot abide by…,

      1. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

    9. JBG
      • 6 Years

      Really need a Raphinha goal. ML rival has Sa in goal and doesn't have Raphinha in his team.

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I have Raphinha too. Preparing for a blank.

      2. OPTA FPL
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        He wont be no longer your rival if doesnt have raphina

    10. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I was feeling so smug as benching A Armstrong for Livermento.

      Playing a terrible Burnley team makes it all the worse…

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Was always going to happen

        1. TomSaints
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          It’s the hope that gets you. This should be an easy 2-0 win that we’ll conspire to lose despite dominating

    11. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      If Saints keep trailing, really worried Armstrong may come on later and block ESR.

      1. Il Capitano
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Almost guaranteed

    12. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      We all gonna get in Chilwell and then Alonso will start next week won't he?!

    13. Hutchiniho
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Top Premium through to Christmas

      Kane, Son, KDB, Mane, Vardy?

    14. For Fuchs Sake
      • 14 Years

      Digne get out of my team!!!!

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        Are you on FFHub? If so I will log in and do it for you

    15. Dammit_182
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Sometimes being aware of ‘team news’ is a curse. Put Jimi on the bench after the injury update video and he’s doing what I thought a fit jimi would do. Last week people stopped bringing son in and I didn’t bench salah last season for the palace haul. Might stop paying attention to the team news and just crack on with it.

    16. Rainer

      Leeds are bad, really bad.

      Could be Pukki timed!

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        All aboard

    17. Salalalalah
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      What happened to Leeds this season, they were so electric last season and a treat to watch? Brentford took the mantle from them this year

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        2nd season syndrome

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Always crap when Phillips is out

      3. bigwig
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Injuries and not enough strength in depth but they'll be back

      4. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Are lacking Phillips and Bamford
