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.

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

      Azpi would have gotten at least assist and cs, after threemium fail everyone can afford to have Livra as 1st perma sub.

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

      You're lucky Azpilicueta didn't start. Probably would have gotten 12 points

    2 years, 6 months ago

    Do something, Broja. It was between you and Livramento and I chose you. Now, now, don't you bloody do a Havertz.

  23. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    RAM impressive, Marcal could be done, finally.

    Not only has Havertz cost me 4 points to bring him... thanks to him I left Livramento ON THE BENCH!!! I asked everyone here if it was the right call and they said yes why did I listen to them WHY!!!

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

      Clue is in your username

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

      You only listened to those who brought got Havertz in.

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

      Because you can't make decisions for yourself?

  25. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Stupid question, but: why is Watford playing in red when their first kit is compatible with Everton's?

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Money. The more fans see the kit the more likely they are to buy.

    2. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Red as the signal to stop conceding goals

  26. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Started Livramento over White this week. He's sat next to Digne in my team and putting Digne to shame too.

  27. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I think Livra will get another attacking return.

    I'm greedy.

  28. DycheDycheBaby
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Need a Cancelo benching to get Livra points lol

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

    Must be some people getting up to 70-80 points already.

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

      My friend's draft team is on 65 from 5 with no captain lol.

      There are gonna be some huge scores around.

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

        Feels like one of those weeks where lots of punts come off and it’s a case of how many you have.

    2. Salan
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Of course. Chilwell, James with Mount (C) already achieved.

  30. mgilbert86
    • 11 Years

    He doesnt deserve the trash team around him

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

      I advise you to sell him before Norwich. Fantastic idea.

      1. mgilbert86
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Didnt say this gw but long term

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

        Probably is a fantastic idea now
