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.

    FPL content creators getting ready to tell us we can get James and Chilwell if we have Livramento 1st sub

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      The cool kids are starting Livramento and having Smith-Rowe first on the bench.

      1. PascalCygan

        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        The cool kids captained James - started livramento and ESR

        1. Cilly Bonnolly
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

            • 14 Years

            Who was your captain? Cancelo??

            1. Cilly Bonnolly
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years

      Already been said on the black box yesterday’s news already!

  10. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Love when you go away to do something for ten minutes then come back and find Livramento's scored.

  11. LE CHARO
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Had a 50/50 decision to make between Livramento and Broja, started the latter... Thanks Redmond !

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Broja's been pretty good too based on the highlights

  12. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Livra first on bench as always

  13. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Cancelo better start. Not necessarily for his own points but to help block others!

    FPL has owners of City assets hoping they now don't start, funny old game...

    1. TKC07
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Be careful with what you wish for.. 1 min cameo would do..

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Better than 0 for those without benches.

    2. DycheDycheBaby
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      No he better stay on the bench because my rival is getting Livra in for Azpi, which is a load of bullcarp. Lol

  14. Hutchiniho
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Mane, Kane, Son, Vardy or KDB?

    Most points to Christmas?

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

      Havertz

      1. Hutchiniho
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Haha. He'll be lucky to get double figures by then.

  15. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Any chance Zaha comes on?

  16. 1912 F.A Cup Winners

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

    2. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Sold him for James about an hour ago 🙂 - gives me back 3 of Azpi. James and Chilwell (Livra & Teirney)

      Just 3 defenders playing this week 🙁

      1. HashAttack
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Just 2 defenders - would be happy with 3

  17. Eh, just one more thing ...
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Place your bets … who scores the first goal in the 3pm 2nd half’s?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years

      Mount

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years

          2 years, 5 months ago

          You win the admiration of those who responded on this post … which amounts to pretty much nothing I’m afraid. Plus, you have to share it with Sun Jihai

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Livramento being an option makes it easier to own Trent 🙂

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Hwang covering Vardy

  21. Nanoelektronicar
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Hwang, Jimenez and Livramento nullifying my good start. Thinking Antonio to Hwang in two weeks time.

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years

  28. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Cancelo will start. You don't bench your most creative full-back away to Brighton.

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 8 Years
