Liverpool

Nobody named as back.
FPL Tilt · what it means
Nothing decided on Szoboszlai until the team sheet an hour before kick-off at Brentford. Iraola also said the squad will change with matches every three days, so even the fit Liverpool players carry a rotation risk this week.

Hull
Nobody named as a doubt or back.
FPL Tilt · what it means
Mendy misses Fulham away and probably the week after. Belloumi's benching was fatigue, so he should be back in contention.

FPL Tilt · what it means
Good news for anyone who bought De Cuyper or Groß this week: Mitoma is not back for Palace, so De Cuyper keeps his place on the wing for now. Struijk is the one to check on Saturday.

- Disasione match0.1% owned0 min0.0 pts
Nobody named as back.
FPL Tilt · what it means
Palace go to Brighton without Disasi at the back, and Henderson, Mateta and Tomiyasu are only expected back on the day, which helps the case for De Cuyper and Groß at home.

Nobody named as back.
FPL Tilt · what it means
Said after Tuesday's European win; Friday's press conference had not been reported when this was written. With Hincapié out for weeks, Calafiori looks even more certain to start at left-back at Forest.

FPL Tilt · what it means
Awoniyi's return gives Coventry a striker again for the Monday trip to Spurs, which matters a little if you own Van Hecke for the clean sheet.
