ARSENAL: (87%) 🆕 Zubimendi ⚠️ Ødegaard, Madueke, Havertz, Jesus Again it’s the left wing spot that’s contentious, otherwise I think 10/11 are pretty nailed on With Ødegaard out, Eze’s minutes look very promising, the other midfielders are yellow just because Merino could

ASTON VILLA: (84%) 🆕 Onana ⚠️ Mings, Tielemans I think Watkins is a classic over exaggerated international break injury and will be fine Physicality will be required against Spurs, so I reckon Onana starts in midfield Malen starts based on form No idea if Martinez will be

BOURNEMOUTH: (90%) 🆕 Christie, Kluivert ⚠️ Smith, Ünal, Brooks With Brooks out Tavernier moves wide and Kluivert should start Christie over Scott is a close call Hill over Jimenez as the later came back late from internationals Senesi should start despite also coming back

BRENTFORD: (90%) 🆕 Dango ⚠️ Nunes, Hickey Think Brentford revert to a back 4, meaning Dango starts and Pinnock/Ajer don’t The left back spot doesn’t feel nailed just yet, and Hickey aggravated a knock so could benched for Lewis-Potter The other 9 though feel very nailed

BRIGHTON: (86%) 🆕 Rutter ⚠️ Veltman, Webster, Mitoma, Hinshelwood, March, Gruda Lots of uncertainty about Brighton, but there’s a handful of absolutes Mitoma is still a doubt, I’m 50/50 on whether he starts right now Hurzeler’s positive comments on Minteh playing on the

BURNLEY: (95%) 🆕 Ekdal ⚠️ Roberts, Jordan, Anthony, Foster Foster is hopefully fine to start, but no update on Anthony, which I’m assuming is a good thing Tuanzebe has shown he can take minutes from the centre backs, Ekdal was dropped for “tactical reasons” so could be at

CHELSEA: (81%) 🆕 Lavia, Chalobah, Tosin ⚠️ Badiashile, Colwill, Enzo, Palmer, Caicedo, Neto, Andrey Santos, Delap A mountain of doubts here, let’s go through them Enzo “should” be fine, given his injury is something he’s been playing through, same with Caicedo Neto a doubt

CRYSTAL PALACE: (97%) ⚠️ Doucoure Unchanged Arguably the most nailed XI in the league right now The yellow circles have competition, but I don’t anticipate any changes

EVERTON: (90%) 🆕 Alcaraz, Beto, Dewsbury-Hall ⚠️ Grealish, Keane, Branthwaite, Rohl Grealish cannot play, and fans believe Alcaraz’s performance against Palace will see him start Keane’s availability causes a domino effect which sees O’Brien CB, Garner RB, Dewsbury-Hall CM

FULHAM: (88%) 🆕 Cairney ⚠️ Raul, Lukic, Tete, Muniz, Robinson It’s looking rough for Fulham, who usually are very injury free Iwobi could slide into midfield with Kevin starting on the left Fulham have adopted a back 5 formation, but if it’s a back 4 then Diop drops out and

LEEDS: (95%) ⚠️ Perri, James, Gnonto, Okafor Unchanged Predicting after a win is easy, predicting after a loss is less so Farke has confirmed Darlow will start Fans reckon that Bijol could start over Struijk, and despite being away for internationals Aaronson will start with

Image in tweet by FPL Meerkat (Charlie)

LIVERPOOL: (92%) 🆕 Wirtz, Frimpong ⚠️ Alisson, Konate, Leoni, Endo Despite Mac Allister’s heroics on international duty, I reckon he’s benched to keep managing his minutes That makes things a lot easier, with Wirtz starting centrally and Gakpo on the left Isak should start,

Image in tweet by FPL Meerkat (Charlie)

MAN CITY: (75%) 🆕 Doku ⚠️ Khusanov, Ait-Nouri, Rodri, Marmoush Rodri and Khusanov were absent from training, but Ait-Nouri, Cherki and Marmoush have returned, so could push for a start Bobb, Bernardo and Stones are other players I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see get a

MAN UNITED: (83%) 🆕 Dorgu ⚠️ Mazraoui, Heaven, Martinez I expect Amorim to set up defensively against Liverpool like usual, with Cunha and Amad as impact subs Lammens actually does exist and I see no reason for him not to continue starting, but you never know…

Image in tweet by FPL Meerkat (Charlie)

NEWCASTLE: (87%) 🆕 Murphy ⚠️ Livramento, Hall, Miley, Wissa Schar, Joelinton Elanga and Murphy feels like a total 50/50, I’ve gone with Murphy starting Schar will have a hard time getting back into this side, even if Newcastle play a back 5 Joelinton should be fine

Image in tweet by FPL Meerkat (Charlie)

NOTTINGHAM FOREST: (88%) 🆕 Hudson-Odoi, Igor Jesus, Sangare ⚠️ Aina This feeling like the perfect time to hand Igor Jesus his first league start Ndoye seems to be first choice, as does Sangare, but Dominguez or Yates can easily start Hudson-Odoi is a random guess as to who

Image in tweet by FPL Meerkat (Charlie)

SPURS: (87%) ⚠️ Davies, Dragusin, Maddison, Kulusevski, Bissouma, Solanke Unchanged I have doubt on Romero just because of the travel time from internationals Odobert and Tel keep starting together Spence in for Udogie could very well happen Richarlison has to be a sell,

SUNDERLAND: (90%) ⚠️ Alderete, Reinildo, Sadiki, Diarra Unchanged Alderete and Sadiki are doubts, but there are positive signs for both As you can see, with so many attacking options for Sunderland we could definitely see changes, no attacker is nailed

WEST HAM: (84%) 🆕 Soucek ⚠️ Füllkrug With Soucek back from suspension, I suspect he will start, with Paqueta being the furthest player forward It’s more likely that Marshall starts than Wilson, as he came on for Füllkrug last match, but Paqueta has been used up front before,

Image in tweet by FPL Meerkat (Charlie)

WOLVES: (81%) 🆕 R.Gomes ⚠️ Toti, Doherty, Hee Chan After an 11/11 last week I’m reluctant to change anything for Wolves However, Hwang has been away on internationals and was brought off early last game, so I’ve gone with Rodrigo Gomes at left wing Tchatchoua is the other

@FPLMeerkat @FPLMeerkat Surely Reece James starts ahead of lavia at DM?

@FPLMeerkat A or B ? For bench boost

@FPLMeerkat Should I be concerned about Chalobah getting rotated now?
