All eyes turn to Arsenal and their home meeting with West Ham this afternoon in the first favourable fixture of the season for Unai Emery’s men.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan (£7.1m), signed by 450,000+ managers and now in 19 percent of teams, retained his place in the side while the 16.3 percent owned Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) leads the line once again.
As expected, Mesut Özil (£8.4m) misses out through illness and is replaced by Aaron Ramsey (£7.4m), while Alexandre Lacazette (£9.4m) is named on the bench for the third week running.
Marko Arnautovic (£7.0m) reclaims his monopoly on the West Ham centre-forward role with Javier Hernandez (£6.5m) dropped down to the bench.
Bournemouth are unchanged for the third match in succession with Callum Wilson (£6.1m) and Josh King (£6.4m) once again the front pairing, with Ryan Fraser (£5.6m) deployed on the left of midfield.
Ben Hamer (£4.0m) keeps his place in the Huddersfield net while Lee Peltier (£4.0m) was absent from the Cardiff line-up for a second week running, although this time he was named on the bench instead of missing out all-together.
Our Spot the Differential lead pick Danny Ings (£5.5m) gets a second start in a row for Southampton while Shane Long (£5.0m) comes in for Charlie Austin (£6.0m).
Meanwhile, FPL defender Ricardo Pereira (£5.1m) looks to have returned to an attacking midfield role for Leciester.
