Gameweek 12 is the second midweek round of the 2022/23 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) season and follows hot on the heels of Sunday’s action.

Brighton and Hove Albion v Nottingham Forest get us underway at 19:30 BST, with Crystal Palace v Wolverhampton Wanderers three-quarters of an hour later.

Roberto De Zerbi makes just one change from the side that lost 2-0 at Brentford in Gameweek 11, as Adam Lallana replaces Pervis Estupinan, who drops to the bench.

That could potentially see Leandro Trossard line up at left wing-back, although a system change to a back four is another possibility.

As for the visitors, Steve Cooper makes three alterations. In come Serge Aurier, Orel Mangala and Jesse Lingard, with Harry Toffolo, Cheikhou Kouyate and Emmanuel Dennis dropping out.

Neco Williams, meanwhile, is included in the starting XI, with Aurier expected to feature at left-back.

Over at Selhurst Park, Patrick Vieira makes just one change from Saturday’s goalless draw at Leicester City, as Michael Olise comes in for Jordan Ayew.

Managerless Wolves, however, ring the changes. Nathan Collins returns from suspension, while Nelson Semedo, Hugo Bueno and Boubacar Traore are all handed starts.

Jonny is a substitute, but fellow full-back Rayan Ait-Nouri is absent from the matchday squad.

    Need Trossard and Diego to get a bit sharper now

  2. meenabakery
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Spent most of the day wavering between Zaha and Trossard, only to impulsively get Darwen instead. No risk no fun, but tonight will be torture...

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It’ll be torture owning them too

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yes

      2. meenabakery
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        That makes me feel slightly better.

  3. Alan The Llama
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Diego Costa looking dangerous. Like he's got a knife down his sock.

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

      He probably does tbf.

  4. JT11fc
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Watching Diego Costa is pure entertainment

  5. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Wolves open attack
    Weird

  6. Vote Joke
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    My team is muck and I need to do something different. My defence is shameful. I’m gonna play three at the back from the same team. The question is: who?

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

      Whoever Brighton are playing

    2. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Forest

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

      Everton or Wolves if you feeling punty

      1. Vote Joke
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Was thinking Everton.

  7. JBG
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Need goals from Zaha and Kilman.

  8. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Palace aren’t keeping a cleanie here are they

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

      Neither of them will I can guarantee you that

  9. Here is Cash, give McGinn
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Which one is better on WC?
    A) Kane+White+Patterson/N. Williams (as 3th sub)
    B) Toney+Saliba+Cancelo (Guehi/Andreas/Almiron mostly on bench)

    Kepa - Ward
    x, x, Guehi, Trippier, Gomez
    Salah, Saka, Foden, Almiron, Andreas
    x, Haaland, Mitro

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A.
      Cover already with defence with the added White+Patterson (when fit),
      Kane a jewel/must have along side Haaland if you can afford - team looks
      very good with three premier players - Salah/Haaland/Kane

  10. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Costa playing really well.

  11. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    On WC:

    A) Raya
    B) Pickford

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B

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

        Omg what?

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ha

  12. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Boring but two 0-0s here would suit me fine. Or 0-0 for the Notts game and a Zaha goal and a CS for Palace

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Don't let them catch you saying Notts - they'll keelhaul you.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        They'll never take me alive!!!!!!!!!

  13. Ibralicious
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Leandro Trossard’s half by numbers:

    46 touches
    3/3 ground duels won
    2 tackles won
    2 crosses completed
    2 key passes

    4. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Very poor seeing as he's up against Aurier

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      And in FPL terms, bps:

    6. x.jim.x

      Only 1 stat that matters

  14. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Neco Williams has the opportunity to write himself into the FPL Hall of Fame tonight.

  15. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Steve Sidwell on the BBC live blog chats so much of the proverbial. Aside from saying Forest have been superb defensively (which I am guessing is not the case from comments on here), he said earlier that Lingard has not yet reached his potential. He is 29!

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

      He must just be stupid

    2. Konstaapeli
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe he was referring to his tiktok career?

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Good point. You can always have 1 more follower!

  16. JBG
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Zaha is such a petulant child.

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

      A player I'm not a fan of and wouldn't own in FPL

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        A conclusion I wish I had reached 3-4 weeks ago

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah - I don't want him in my team but he has really good fixtures and he ought to be pulling up a few trees. I'll be tempted to take him out rather than Trossard for Foden. Of course, then he'll score a few braces.

  17. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Henderson (NFO) (14)
    Mac Allister (BHA) (12)
    Dunk (BHA) (11)
    March (BHA) (9)
    Caicedo (BHA) (8)
    Webster (BHA) (8)
    Trossard (BHA) (6)
    Veltman (BHA) (6)

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      BAPS @ Half

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      C’mon Dunk

  18. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Zaha is definitely getting a booking for fouling either Semedo or Traore tonight

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Or kicking ball away when he gets a foul called against him.

  19. meenabakery
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Surely that should be a straight red for Zaha for dissent?

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Fingers cross no -especially after Maddison injury time nightmare booking

  20. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Who would you rather lose out of these two:

    A) Zaha
    B) Bowen

    Struggling with this one. Cheers all!

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

      Zaha

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Zaha on current form.

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Wait until the game week is over but Zaha probably

    4. Goodfeathers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Zaha

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

      Cheers guys.
      If I lost Bowen then moved I wanna do before price changes would only cost me a -4.
      If Zaha then it would cost me a -8

      Thank you though, shall mull it over.

    6. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

  21. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    How's my Neco clean sheet looking?

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

      The same as it's looking for everyone else

    2. Supersonic_
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Holding on... just. He's come out for the 2nd half anyway

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Safe as houses

  22. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Veltman will score!
    Just nodded off and woke up to shouts of Veltman, but I was dreaming.
    I have history of this sort of thing.

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      That’s just reminded me of something, I remember waking up after nodding off last night in a shock and wide eyed after hearing someone say “we’re ready to operate on him now”

      Lmao so messed up

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I hope you get better soon my friend.

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Haha! Thank you

    2. NorCal Villan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A history of hearing voices?

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Haha nooooo, I heard like a drill moose withbit, which shows me I’ve watched Dahmer too much on Netflix

  23. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Guehi big chance missed

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

      Really?

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah free header

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

          Damn. Looking like one of 'those' weeks...

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He won't do anything now I own, 1 point hopefully

  24. A. PRISE
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Zaha is like a cartoon character

  25. Goodfeathers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Back under way at the Amex..

  26. lordkippe
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    This is torture

    - Guehi ( Big chance wasted )
    - Diego Costa ( Big chance wasted )
    - Trossard ( Should have had a return )
    - Zaha ( Sucks )

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

      You have Costa? FH?

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

        Not FH. Bought him in before Forrest @home as I had some spare cash. Not gone well

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

          Hope he scores for you, but not today since I've double cry defence. Pun intended.

  27. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Zaha abandoning the two different coloured boots routine...

  28. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Completely forgot today was a matchday. How's Trossard looking so far?

    1. Mirror Man
        3 years, 2 months ago

        He plays for Brighton.

        1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Sigh.

    2. Viper
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Which looks better on WC?

      A. TAA & Rashford

      B. Trippier & Bowen

      Is it B by a landslide or is it close?

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Sky's Old 'Player Cam' on Zaha for 90 minutes would make for fascinating viewing.
