Five more Premier League matches follow on from Everton’s win over Arsenal, including the first instalment of Manchester United’s Double Gameweek 22.

Times given in GMT

The team news from Old Trafford is what most Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers will be interested in, and there’s bad news for owners of Anthony Martial.

The Frenchman is absent from the Red Devils’ squad this afternoon, with Erik ten Hag’s team showing two changes from Gameweek 21: Casemiro is back from suspension and Fred is recalled, with the injured Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay making way.

“He had a setback from the game when he returned. He thought he could build up, but he dropped a little bit back. We have to wait, we have to be patient not to force it.” – Erik ten Hag on Anthony Martial

United’s opponents, Crystal Palace, make three changes from their last game. Joel Ward, Eberechi Eze and the injured Wilfried Zaha are replaced by Will Hughes, Michael Olise and Nathaniel Clyne.

Brighton are without the injured Evan Ferguson, while Moises Caicedo is benched after being the subject of a few bids in the January transfer window.

Bournemouth make five changes to the side that drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest a fortnight ago. January signings Antoine Semenyo and Hamed Traore both start, while Chris Mepham, Marcos Senesi and Philip Billing all return. There’s still no Dominic Solanke, however.

Hugo Bueno is benched for Wolves this afternoon, with Rayan Ait-Nouri taking his place. Craig Dawson, Matheus Cunha and Pablo Sarabia also come in for the hosts.

Darwin Nunez and Joel Matip are recalled at the expense of the injured Ibrahima Konate and the benched Harvey Elliott for Liverpool.

Alex Moreno surprisingly drops to the bench for Aston Villa, with the fit-again Lucas Digne taking his place.

Victor Kristiansen, Tete and Harry Souttar all make their debuts for Leicester.

Brentford make two changes to the side that drew with Leeds, as Yoane Wissa and Aaron Hickey come in for Mads Roerslev and Kristoffer Ajer.

Romain Perraud, Samuel Edozie, Mohamed Elyounoussi and Romeo Lavia replace Lyanco, Kyle Walker-Peters, Carlos Alcaraz and Adam Armstrong for Southampton.

    Liverpool’s midfield is the 19th best in the league

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      2nd worst

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Based on statistics or your opinion? Who do you have below them?

      I think they're the worst by a distance, Everton's will destroy them next week.

    3. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      20th

  2. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Let's go Shaw, Rashford and Bruno!

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      ETH's trinity lol

  3. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Surely there's one return for Toney in this match?

  4. Slitherene
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Seen enough of Liverpool!

    Kepa | Fodder
    Robertson* Trippier Shaw
    Mahrez Odegaard Rashford Martinelli
    Haaland Kane Darwin*
    ¦ Botman Andreas* Patterson

    2 FT, 1.9 ITB

    Robertson, Andreas, Darwin -> White, KdB, Fodder

    For a hit?

  5. Salalalalah
    • 7 Years

    How is Mitoma playing, looking like to score?

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Oh maybe I'm wrong and it isn't a positive reason why he's gone, hope all's OK with him

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Reply fail

    Does anyone know what happened to Ted Wickman (Ted Talks with all the stats visualisations)? He seemed to disappeared off Twitter around when the World Cup started and I see he now has a dead team (no transfers since GW16).

        Thanks Hazz

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Might be misremembering but I feel like he posted about getting married a few months ago and he's barely been around since, guessing he's just enjoying life. From an FPL point of view it's a shame though, he was one of very few FPL accounts that I actually look at, seems a genuinely nice guy

      1. ClassiX
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I agree - really enjoyed his insights and charting skills.

    2. OverTinker
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Same reason as in my case - missing deadlines Every GW now. Married

  7. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    How is Rashy looking,

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Looking better for captainers rather than triple captainers atm

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Until Leeds……

  8. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Mount Weghorse is just in the way. Need Rash closer to the goal.

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      You want Rashford to mount Weghorst?

  9. Neevesy
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Leader in ML has Mee 1st sub coming on for Fergurson. I give up lol.

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I have this type of thing every damn week in my main ML, sickening

  10. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Haaland t/c next week anyone?
    Ars and villa, villa already conceded 3 to Leic

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah but he'll park the bus against City

    2. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Me probably.

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Think I'm still going to hold off until later on. It's a risk no doubt but Villa always trouble City and they've been OK away from home (although sounds like they've had a bit of luck in some of those games too), Arsenal game is at the Emirates too. I know there's the risk of CL rotation later on but I still don't fancy TCing Haaland when City still don't look like they're in full flow

    4. mdm
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Would love to, but already played it on Bruno this week 🙁

        1. mdm

  11. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years

    3. BobB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Will Moreno now become first choice?

        2 years, 11 months ago

  23. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Hopefully Weggy will be benched against Leeds

  24. Limbo
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Great weekend to be an Everton fan (for what seems like an eternity). Great win. Benched White/Martinelli in pure defiance. Reds losing.

    + maybe Cleanies for Martinez/Varane and more points for Rashford.

  25. Zimo
    • 7 Years
