Predicted Lineups in the FPL
Being able to make informed decisions based on reliable predicted lineups is a huge part of FPL. You can view Premier League predicted lineups for each and every gameweek.

Getting a helping hand with such details is imperative if you want to move up those FPL leagues. You just have to know where to look for those tips.
What to Know About Predicted Lineups
With predicted lineups, many factors must be considered for each individual club. Sourcing the information you need – both online and from sports news on television or radio – can become a talent in itself.
Injuries – players can get injured at any stage of the season. Some will be missing for the start of a campaign. This could be down to an injury suffered on international duty, at home, or even on holidays. You must also take into account a player’s match fitness when they are returning from an injury. If they were out of action for a prolonged period of time, they will most certainly have a readjustment period. You’re likely to see such players come back in for one or two substitute appearances while they recover their full fitness. It’s worth noting that players may be injured during training sessions with their clubs. If you don’t keep on top of the daily football news, then you will need to check with the most valid sources each week to see that everyone in your team is fit.
Suspensions – red and yellow cards are dished out on a regular basis in the Premier League. Those yellow cards can accumulate and when a player has received five yellow cards he will then serve a one-match ban. A player who is sent off due to a second yellow card will result in a one-match ban, as will a red card received for a professional foul.
Dissent leading to a red card will generally earn a two-match ban, while violent conduct can be punished with a suspension for three games.
Fantasy Football Know-How
Those factors mentioned above are the basics you need to know regarding player availability ahead of a fixture. However, delving into the mind of the team manager to try and pre-empt what his starting lineup will be is a different story altogether (we’re looking at you, Pep!).
Whether it’s Mister Guardiola, Herr Klopp, or any of the other head honchos in the Premier League, you’re likely to devote a lot of time trying to see inside those big football brains of theirs. There are plenty of tactical nuances to be considered in every Premier League fixture. Also, if a big team like, say, Manchester City, are at home to a struggling side like Norwich or Watford, then Guardiola could decide to make some changes. When the top teams have Champions League and Europa League fixtures to think about, this can lead to unexpected tweaks to some starting elevens. A good ‘Predicted Lineups’ page can help you to expect the unexpected. Well, most of the time anyway. There will always be some changes to a team that come completely out of left-field (looking at you again, Pep!).
All Clubs Covered in FPL Predicted Lineups
You need to be able to unearth the hidden gems throughout the season too. In that way, it’s vital that you familiarise yourself with the first elevens of the lesser-known sides as well. That’s where you’ll find the bargains too as most players who are not associated with the ‘big six’ will be easier on your budget.
Never Miss an FPL Deadline
Make it part of your routine ahead of every gameweek deadline. Set your reminder, check the FPL predicted lineups, make your transfers, and, finally, pick your team, remembering to order your substitutes as you want them.
Spending your weekend lamenting the decisions you made is optional… but likely.
