How this XI is picked

Where the eleven comes from

The expected eleven is the same call behind the minutes in every projection on the site. Where the team news is unsettled we say so rather than guessing: a confident XI that turns out wrong costs you a transfer. Until a club’s sheet lands, the eleven shown is FPL’s own record of who started the last game, labelled as such. See what our projections are measured at.

Aston Villa on the show

Newcastle 0-1 Aston Villa. Manzambi scored the only goal from a Joao Gomes assist and took the max bonus for 11 FPL points. It was Villa's first clean sheet since Gameweek 3: Lindelöf got 9 with his defensive contribution and Suzuki 8. FPL Brains says Manzambi is a buy if he's fit. He has returned in all three of his starts, 29 points, but FPL has him at 75% with a calf knock, so wait for the team news before Man City at home. FPL Risky's punt is Lindelöf: 4.5m, seven starts from seven, 18.9 projected over the next six and almost nobody owns him.
