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.

    Fed up, don’t think any team in the league is as unlucky as we are with injuries. How hasn’t VAR looked at the foul on raph? Stinking challenge & it’s not even looked at.

    Why do all my attacking players get injured a week before playing Norwich?

  9. Duke Silver ☑

    Mitchell assist. Of course.

    1. WVA

      Always has since I brought him in

    Raph to Cornet done

  11. tangtastic

    Havertz out, Cornet in for -4pt?

  12. DycheDycheBaby

    What a goal Cornet!!!!!!! 😀

    FFS, brought Raphinha in this week.

    Luckily I can afford a straight swap to Mount for free...

    1. clodhopper
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Mount was playing Nowrich

      1. JariL
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I think he's still a good pick if Lukaku/Werner remain out. Fixtures + form + nailedness.

  14. pundit of punts

    Wolves will see this out now

    Congratulations Sa owners

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      That'd be nice. Coady second on the bench after Smith-Rowe already came in for Alonso. A Wolves clean sheet would be a nice little cushion in case of any other no shows. Looking at you Cancelo!

  15. Liberate HK - antichinazi

    Raph --> Mount?

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

      Gonna be popular if he's ruled out for a while. I'm looking at it.

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

      Wait and see him, alternatives and how Chelsea might line out.

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Was half considering Madisson before I got Raphinha, for Smith Rowe!

  16. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Well that's leeds down then

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

      Good call!

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks mate. Badly needed.

  17. Nate(U)dog(ie)

    A few of us were talking about Cornet this week, started off really well, definitely considering him for GW11

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      *GW12

    2. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Individually he looks interesting, but...Burnley.

      Just not seeing enough goals in the team for it to be appetising. Good luck if you take the punt though

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Reminds me of ASM, very talented player in a pretty poor team. Has the ability to become talismanic (especially if he keeps playing up front instead of wide). Obviously very early days, will see how long Raphinha might end up being out for

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

    Azpi and Raph to Mount and Chalobah for free — or chasing points?

    1. JariL
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Azpi to Chalobah is crazy talk.

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

        In itself, yes, but I thought of funds for Raph-Mount

        1. JariL
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I would downgrade someone else.

    Saiss lucky not to see red.

  26. Stupendous

    Was anyone else getting a bit bored of owning Raphinha anyway?

    Sad for him and Leeds fans, but maybe a blessing for my team

    1. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Bit bored of owning Leeds, truth be told.
