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.

    Ah man, this week's killing me already. Went Gray to Havertz over Veltman to Chilwell and I've got Livramento as 1st sub

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Cannot be worse than mine, see below

    Actual 'proper' player with the current highest score (before update).

    https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/2553325/event/9

    Brought in Mount (TC) & Hwang this week. Great team.

    Mendy
    James Dias Cancelo
    KDB Son Mount ESR
    Vardy Antonio Hwang

    No Salah of course but with a score like that they'll survive!

    1. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      1.4mil to 37k after the Chelsea game, wow

    2. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      That’s insane. They could comfortably hit 150/160

    3. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Took out Salah on his wildcard as well.

    4. Optimus.
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Bloody hell, fair play to him, ballsy TC

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

      Stuff of FPL dreams.

    6. Firmino
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Pretty good, doesn't have Livramento though

      1. Optimus.
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, lol at him

  3. The Mandalorian
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Lord mento take a bow!

  4. Saka Rice
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Should I blame myself for trusting this community 2 weeks ago rather than my gut that Hwang and Aubameyang would outscore Antonio and Jiménez?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Antonio still needs to play.

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

        And Spurs defence is a joke atm

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

      What do you mean ‘trusting this community’?. If you can’t make your own decisions on a literal game, then why the hell do you play?

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

      Thanks for running the community team.

    4. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Over what return period or did you not specify? Dont blame the community for not knowing that you wanted instant results.

      Yep a lot on here blow smoke follow the crowd. And are reactionary rather than proactive. If you think you see something obvious others have not mentioned go for it.

      1. Saka Rice
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yep 100%. The top top managers are more reactionary than always following the template. I know its hindsight but Aubameyang was always gonna be good value short term with those fixtures especially more than Son or Kane

    6. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Caught a few.

      1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Did wonder this. Willing to bite

    7. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      It's your team.

    8. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Blame me. Because I couldn't care less.

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

      Yes.

    10. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      You should 'blame yourself' i.e. accept responsibility and take accountability for the decisions you make in general, including your fpl transfers

    11. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Username says it all…

  5. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    LIVRAMENTO meaning: deliverance masculine noun 1. act or effect of getting rid of; bail. two. LEGAL (TERM) release of an individual who was in prison while serving a sentence, or preventively.

    1. Boomerang V
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      That is the meaning of Livramento in Portuguese

      He is making me get rid of a total fiasco

      Especially after having swap Alonso to Azpi 🙁

  6. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    -12 check
    Captain Havertz fail check
    Bench boost fail check 🙂

    Desperately need double city defence and Son today to bail me out a little, even then the whole gameweek is a fail.
    Any comeback from this or season over 🙂

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      So are you keeping Havertz?

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I’ll keep him sure for the next one or two, may as well

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Son plays tomorrow

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Indeed he does, along with Vardy and Toney

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      What was your -12??

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Allan + Sarr + Lukaku + Ronaldo > Vardy + Toney + Son + Havertz

        Already brought Chillwell in because Alonso is finished as an asset.

        Freefall

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Unlucky Vardy, and Toney might do something.

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Cheers man

    4. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Did you take the -12 before bench boost?

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I did both this GW, to try and offset the -12 as it’s a useless chip anyway that never benefits me.
        Alonso never even started and would of had Livramento coming on anyway, and Tierney never even made it.
        Just livra and Sanchez on bench boost now 🙂

        Complete fail, any way back? Lol

        1. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          I think it's the last useful chip but can be OK if well planned, cheap bench, benching dilemma GW. But not for a DGW where many have a good bench but a weaker 11 for subsequent GWs. Live and learn. Loads of GWs left.

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Very true, cheers bud, shall take whatever rank I’m given and work from there now I’m happier with my side

  7. FFSbet.com
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Wow 7-0 and no points for Havertz(C)...

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yep, total fail

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

      And 3 points was more than he even deserved.

    3. Crouching Tiger
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I had triple Chelsea def (Mendy, Rudiger + Azpi(c)), so gutted Azpi didn't play.

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

      Yeah but James made up for it.

    5. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Watched most of game. Funny part was he was Chelsea’s poorest player by miles.

      1. FFSbet.com
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Uff damn,he must go for Jota soon then.

      1. MrZ

  15. Sun Jihai

    Armstrong dead as an option

  16. Rainer

  18. FantasyClub
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Is rudiger to Chilwell for free worth it? Or keep Rudigers nailedness?

    1. Firmino
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Keep, only 3 points difference today

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Likely even out over the whole season.

      Chilwell could edge it.

  19. mojoindojo
    • 10 Years

    Nice finish Broja

  20. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Broja looks great. If only this had started one week earlier so I got him over Armstrong

  21. jackruet
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Wtf is wrong with jimenez, why always he plays so deep

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Copying his idol Kane

    2. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      no shot Raph is still playing right wing back, he needs to play further up

      • 13 Years

      Why didn’t you guys tell me to pick Broja

      So annoyed

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I did

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I kept recommending him a few weeks ago to be fair!

      3. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        He’s a Scout Pick. Thought he might be short term but can’t go wrong for man in form for 5.0. I went Jesus who’ll probably tank

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

      Armstrong owners might get lucky again with more than 2 points off their bench...

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

        I desperately need Armstrong to come off though.. even a cameo is a point gained for me
