Predicted lineups for ALL 20 Premier League teams: Gameweek 17
AFCON has shaken up some teams! 😮
Averaging 87% accuracy this season ✅
🟢🟡🟠🔴 = Likelihood of a start
(%) = Accuracy on previous predictions
🆕 = New players in the lineup
⚠️ = Concerns
ARSENAL: (89%)
🆕 Trossard, Ødegaard, Calafiori
⚠️ Gabriel, White, Mosquera, Havertz
Back 4 feels very settled with the current injuries.
With Ødegaard back we could see him share minutes with Eze.
Left wing spot will never be settled, but Trossard is the favourite this week.
ASTON VILLA: (88%)
🆕 Martínez
⚠️ Martínez, Pau, Mings, Barkley, Sancho, Elliott
The midfield 3 of Tielemans, Onana and Kamara looks to be working for Villa.
Martínez is still a doubt, could easily not start again.
Maatsen just slightly ahead of Digne.
BOURNEMOUTH: (86%)
🆕 Scott
⚠️ Milosavljević, Adams, Christie, Doak
Jiménez has been playing more advanced, so his chances to start have increased.
Adams injured means Tavernier dropping deeper.
Kroupi does have a chance to start, but it’s not very high.
BRENTFORD: (89%)
🆕 Yarmoliuk, Schade, Damsgaard
⚠️ Dango, Henderson, Milambo, Nelson, Thiago
With Dango away and Nelson a doubt, Lewis-Potter may shift to right wing, though a back five with Thiago + Schade up top is possible.
Thiago was fully rested midweek and should start.
With decent alternatives, Henderson could be rested.
BRIGHTON: (89%)
🆕 De Cuyper, Ayari, Boscagli
⚠️ Dunk, Webster, Gomez, Baleba, Welbeck, March, Tzimas
Close call between De Cuyper and Mitoma — likely one more cameo for Mitoma.
With Dunk suspended, Boscagli is the natural replacement.
BURNLEY: (89%)
🆕 Walker, Anthony
⚠️ Tuanzebe, Hannibal, Foster
Losing a few starters, there are lots of options Burnley could go with.
CHELSEA: (85%)
🆕 Caicedo
⚠️ Colwill, Estevão, Delap
Feels like a set XI.
Only real possibility is Gusto coming in.
Palmer could move right to accommodate Gusto, with Enzo higher up.
CRYSTAL PALACE: (94%)
🆕 Nketiah, Hughes
⚠️ Muñoz, Sarr, Doucouré, Kamada
Glasner has confirmed the lineup — no doubts here.
EVERTON: (91%)
🆕 Dibling, Alcaraz, Iroegbunam
⚠️ Coleman, Branthwaite, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye, Gana
3 absentees, 3 replacements.
Dibling surely has to start — they spent £40m on him.
FULHAM: (87%)
🆕 Kevin, Cuenca
⚠️ Bassey, Iwobi, Sessegnon, Chukwueze, Lukić, Muniz
Simple replacements based on players leaving.
Smith Rowe has been performing well and should keep his spot over King.
Interesting to see how they cope without Iwobi.
LEEDS: (90%)
⚠️ Longstaff, James, Nmecha
Unchanged.
Possible alternatives include Justin for Gudmundsson.
LIVERPOOL: (89%)
⚠️ Gomez, Gakpo, Salah, Szoboszlai
Unchanged, dependent on Szoboszlai’s fitness.
Primary prediction includes him, with an alternative if unavailable.
MAN CITY: (82%)
🆕 Savinho
⚠️ Aït-Nouri, Stones, Marmoush, Doku, Bobb, Rodri, Kovačić
Possibly the most nailed Pep XI.
Only change could be Reijnders, with Foden shifting wide or inside.
MAN UNITED: (84%)
🆕 Šeško, Mainoo, Dorgu, Martínez
⚠️ De Ligt, Maguire, Mazraoui, Mbeumo, Casemiro, Amad
Three key departures, but depth should cover it.
Hoping Mainoo is freed this week.
NEWCASTLE: (88%)
🆕 Murphy, Joelinton
⚠️ Pope, Trippier, Hall, Livramento, Lascelles, Krafth, Burn, Botman, Osula
Six defensive injuries.
Hall should be fine, but depth is still an issue.
Miley likely fills in again at right back.
NOTTINGHAM FOREST: (87%)
🆕 Douglas Luiz
⚠️ Sels, Aina, Sangaré, Yates, Domínguez, Wood, Awoniyi
Simple swap with Sangaré off to AFCON.
Sels remains a doubt.
SPURS: (82%)
🆕 Palhinha
⚠️ Udogie, Drăgușin, Sarr, Maddison, Kulusevski, Bissouma, Solanke
Defence feels safe, but big changes possible after last week’s heavy defeat.
SUNDERLAND: (88%)
🆕 Mundle, Adingra, Nien, Hume
⚠️ Reinildo, Masuaku, Talbi, Sadiki, Traoré
By far the hardest hit by AFCON.
Defence is mostly untouched, but the attack is unpredictable.
Brobbey slightly favoured over Isidor.
WEST HAM: (85%)
🆕 Kilman, Walker-Peters, Scarles
⚠️ Diouf, Wan-Bissaka
Both fullbacks out.
Likely shift to a back three.
Kilman could be Igor, or Summerville may start in a back four.
WOLVES: (80%)
🆕 S. Bueno, Hoever
⚠️ H. Bueno, Agbadou, R. Gomes, Mosquera, Munetsi, Bellegarde
Changes at the back with 2–3 starting centre backs unavailable.
