3pm kick-off team news: Liverpool unchanged, Livramento starts

Following the five-goal thriller at the London Stadium, three more Gameweek 15 matches get underway at 3pm GMT.

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Liverpool, Southampton v Brighton and Hove Albion and Newcastle United v Burnley are the Premier League fixtures kicking off at the traditional time.

As for the team news, it’s fairly uneventful, especially and reassuringly so at Molineux.

Liverpool are unchanged from the Merseyside derby, while Wolves bring in Ruben Neves for compatriot Joao Moutinho in their only alteration.

Tino Livramento keeps up his 100% appearance record at St Mary’s, meanwhile, as Ralph Hasenhuttl recalls Armando Broja and Lyanco at the expense of the injured Jan Bednarek and the benched Adam Armstrong.

Graham Potter has been more active, although four of his five changes are enforced because of injuries to Adam Lallana, Jeremy Sarmiento, Lewis Dunk and Adam Webster.

Tariq Lamptey is back in the starting XI, as are Enock Mwepu, Pascal Gross, Shane Duffy and Dan Burn.

On Tyneside, Jamaal Lascelles and Miguel Almiron come in for the suspended Ciaran Clark and the absent Ryan Fraser.

James Tarkowski and Ashley Westwood are back from suspension for the Clarets, replacing the benched Jack Cork and the missing Ben Mee.

    Thoughts on getting Sancho and Bowen first instead of Jota?

    I’m chasing so not sure getting Jota now will give me much.

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      If Jota starts that Newcastle game, your rank might hurt

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Could delay Jota till New game and get one or both Sancho and Bowen first, doing some big reshuffle

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Oh, I understand

          Yeah... Villa isn't the easiest opponent to bully atm, so Bowen and Sanch have easier games

          That said, I'd prioritize that expensive Man U spot for their shot-taking talisman, Ronaldo

          Observe the Palace game first, of course

          1. Atimis
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Just will CR7 start all these game? That would be my only doubt

            1. Ze_Austin
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              I think any high-intensity player who starts all those games is a huge, huge injury risk

              So I'm in favour of the odd rest. It means their hammies stay in place until January

              1. Atimis
                • 7 Years
                2 years, 3 months ago

                Sounds wise, cheers

      Got jota this week after missing all his points and price rises. Firmino back soon. Feel a bit stupid now.

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Have to read into that Firmino and AFCON topic

      Yeah, you know the risks but they look good. Monitor united first, cause as an united fan, I’m not sure how rangnick will set up

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        True that, will watch the game first

    4. F4L
      • 9 Years

      I think West Ham will start struggling, injuries hitting their backline hard and Rice/Soucek have almost played every minute this season and look tired

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Interesting point, just these fixtures!

    5. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I like this combo: CR7 + Jota + Bowen

      I think most teams can squeeze that out, even with Salah and TAA

      Jota then goes for Gray when Firmino returns, use the funds to get Antonio/DCL

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Could easily go for that just not sure about losing Vardy before New game?

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Ah schmucks. Damned if you do, damned if you don't... Maybe Jota and Bowen for that particular reason, then Ronaldo after Vardy's Newcastle game

          Sure Vardy starts?

          1. Atimis
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Not sure about Vardy but at the same worried about CR7 starting as mentioned above

            1. Ze_Austin
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Understood

              If I may suggest: monitor midweek European games. Vardy might be needed for their crucial match in Europe, while Ronaldo should be rested. If that turns out to be the case, I'd guess Ronaldo is more likely to start in GW16

                Cheers and good luck!

          Do not do that unless he is likely to get rested. That game week I won’t have a Leicester player abd I think it will hurt

    Was so close to Jota captain over Mo. I think I would’ve had an aneurysm today if I did that move

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yes that’s the point lol

        1. Mr. O'Connell

          First time owning him since week 2. Wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

    Beautiful clean sheets wiped out last minute. Lovely stuff.

    I just saw that Jota miss...

    ...

    ....

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

      he did the right thing to take his time, but then just wildly kicked the ball anyways 😆

  5. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Have players like Raph, Trossard, Jesus and Pinnock... Might be time for a wildcard.

    Divock Origi has just told one interviewer that Jurgen Klopp simply told him to "go out and be Divock" before sending him on at Molineux.

      And that’s exactly what he did

    Not a great day so far with Cornet injured and another ASM blank. Cancelo, Foden Bernardo let's go!

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

      jealous of Foden owners now, looks like he starting in the central role

      1. Mr. O'Connell

        18 point haul. Doesn't start again til January.

    Raphina & Kane -> Zaha & CR7 for free?

    Ramsdale
    Trent, Cancelo, James, Alonso
    Salah, Jota, Raphina, Bowen
    Kane, Antonio

    Foster, Livramento, Brownhill, Davis

      Maybe after they play.

  10. Hiiler
    • 2 Years

    Not great GW so far if I look at points. But if I look at overall rank it's good GW. Have some differentials who are getting me little points as well. That's why I have a green arrow so far.

  11. DandyDon

    Good damage limitation for my team today with James first and not captaining Salah. Late goal hurt had Sa as well(!) but great to see MOM for TAA. Role on Ronaldo and Son Captain tomorrow!

  12. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    First time ever owning B Silva, brave or blank?

  13. mbsoz45
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Was planning on getting Foden next GW; should I think of Bernardo instead?

  14. Dthinger

    Wasn’t able watch any matches today…what happened to McCarthy? Is he injured?
