ARSENAL: (89%) 🆕 Martinelli, Saliba, Rice ⚠️ White, Odegaard, Saka, Havertz, Jesus Martinelli looked lovely on the left vs Athletic Club, I think he starts this one, with Eze central Seems like a nice compromise with Odegaard still a doubt, but Merino could of course start,

ASTON VILLA: (84%) 🆕 Elliott, Kamara ⚠️ Lindelof, Garcia, Tielemans, Onana, Barkley Kamara hopefully fit enough to start With Maatsen and Pau starting midweek, I imagine Digne and Mings start this one Elliott very likely to start, only major uncertainty is the 4th attacker,

BOURNEMOUTH: (95%) ⚠️ Diakite, Smith, Ünal Unchanged With Diakite not 100%, I imagine Milosavljevic retains his spot Christie is fit so could absolutely start, same for Kluivert with Tavernier out wide

BRENTFORD: (91%) 🆕 Dango, Damsgaard ⚠️ Nunes Dango returns to the side as Brentford switch to a back 4 Starting XI feels fairly set right now

BRIGHTON: (86%) 🆕 Kadioglu, Ayari ⚠️ De Cuyper, Webster, Hinshelwood, March Could be Rutter up top with Gruda in the 10 Baleba just isn’t playing anyone, Milner and Ayari in midfield Hurzeler is set in keeping Wieffer as a right back, meaning he could start over Veltman

BURNLEY: (91%) 🆕 Florentino ⚠️ Roberts, Jordan, Bruun Larsen, Ugochukwu, Amdouni With Ugochukwu suspended, I think Florentino comes in to replace him The defence held strong for most of the game vs Liverpool, I think we could see it a lot, but I’m curious to see who plays

CHELSEA: (82%) 🆕 Garnacho, Gusto, Cucurella, Palmer, Estevao ⚠️ Colwill, Badiashile, Lavia, Delap, Palmer Garnacho to start! Palmer is so important I feel he starts even after 90+ midweek Neto is felt to need a rest after starting every game so far, as well as twice on

CRYSTAL PALACE: (98%) 🆕 Wharton ⚠️ Sarr, Doucoure, Nketiah Wharton back fit so should start Nketiah has been out for a long while so is very unlikely to start

EVERTON: (89%) ⚠️ Mykolenko, Branthwaite Unchanged Assuming Beto starts this one Biggest domino effect is Mykolenko, if he’s fit he’ll probably start, moving Garner into midfield I don’t see the 3 behind the #9 changing given their solid form

Image in tweet by FPL Meerkat (Charlie)

FULHAM: (91%) 🆕 Kevin Kevin looked electric for the small amount of time he feature, and despite Iwobi training after getting a knock I feel Kevin gets the nod Of course, there’s feeling Iwobi features as an 8 in this team, I can’t help but feel it’ll be from the bench for

LEEDS: (91%) ⚠️ Perri, James, Gnonto Unchanged With crucial injuries this is very likely to be the lineup Tanaka didn’t feature at all vs Fulham, so I imagine Longstaff starts again

Image in tweet by FPL Meerkat (Charlie)

LIVERPOOL: (93%) 🆕 Bradley I think 9 of this side are very likely to start The biggest maybe is whether Bradley/Frimpong start, or does Mac Allister with Szoboszlai right back It’s such a close call, would could make a reasonable arguement for either Unlikely Isak starts,

Image in tweet by FPL Meerkat (Charlie)

MAN CITY: (68%) ⚠️ Ait-Nouri, Stones, Marmoush, Cherki, Kovacic Unchanged Foden central, needed with no Cherki or Marmoush Rodri has had his minutes managed so I believe he starts in midfield, given the impotence of this game The defence has looked solid, so all should start

Image in tweet by FPL Meerkat (Charlie)

MAN UNITED: (84%) 🆕 Casemiro, Cunha ⚠️ Dalot, Martinez, Mount, Cunha If Cunha’s fit enough, he’ll come straight back into the side No statement from Amorim of who is in goal, so it’s a coin toss as to what Amorim decides

Image in tweet by FPL Meerkat (Charlie)

NEWCASTLE: (86%) 🆕 Hall, Thiaw ⚠️ Schar, Trippier, Ramsey, Gordon, Wissa All the players with knocks sit this one out Thiaw over Botman to replace Schar Genuinely think Murphy has been better then Elanga so will get the nod, but could be wrong

Image in tweet by FPL Meerkat (Charlie)

NOTTINGHAM FOREST: (95%) 🆕 Zinchenko ⚠️ Murillo, Aina, Dominguez Murillo has been a doubt and started numerous times, I think it’ll happen again Given Forest played an entirely rotated team midweek, I’d expect the side at the end to be pretty the same one that started last

Image in tweet by FPL Meerkat (Charlie)

SPURS: (89%) 🆕 Richarlison, Udogie ⚠️ Dragusin, Takai, Maddison, Kulusevski, Bissouma, Solanke Spurs have had a lot of fixtures, so we could see rotation soon The midfield 3 seems to be Spurs’ preferred choice, but Bentancur can easily start, or Johnson on the left and Xavi

Image in tweet by FPL Meerkat (Charlie)

SUNDERLAND: (93%) ⚠️ Ballard, Alese, O’Nien, Le Fee, Mundle Unchanged Le Fee was injured last week which wasn’t reported, but should be available and could displace one of the wingers Tricky to call the forward spot with Sunderland having 3 capable options

Image in tweet by FPL Meerkat (Charlie)

WEST HAM: (84%) 🆕 Füllkrug, Magassa ⚠️ Wan-Bissaka, Soucek Magassa in for the suspended Souck Hard to tell who plays striker, I have little confidence on whoever I put there, but the other personnel should be the same

Image in tweet by FPL Meerkat (Charlie)

WOLVES: (80%) 🆕 Arias, Munetsi ⚠️ Hoever, Strand Larsen Oh Wolves, how easy you used to be to predict, now look at you, I cannot guarantee a single player Every Wolves fan I read from online says something different, this is just one of the many different opinions they had,
