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 (ยฃ7.1m), 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 (ยฃ11.0m) leads the line once again.
As expected, Mesut รzil (ยฃ8.4m) misses out through illness and is replaced by Aaron Ramsey (ยฃ7.4m), while Alexandre Lacazette (ยฃ9.4m) is named on the bench for the third week running.
Marko Arnautovic (ยฃ7.0m) reclaims his monopoly on the West Ham centre-forward role with Javier Hernandez (ยฃ6.5m) dropped down to the bench.
Bournemouth are unchanged for the third match in succession with Callum Wilson (ยฃ6.1m) and Josh King (ยฃ6.4m) once again the front pairing, with Ryan Fraser (ยฃ5.6m) deployed on the left of midfield.
Ben Hamer (ยฃ4.0m) keeps his place in the Huddersfield net while Lee Peltier (ยฃ4.0m) 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 (ยฃ5.5m) gets a second start in a row for Southampton while Shane Long (ยฃ5.0m) comes in for Charlie Austin (ยฃ6.0m).
Meanwhile, FPL defender Ricardo Pereira (ยฃ5.1m) looks to have returned to an attacking midfield role for Leciester.
