Two Premier League matches kick off simultaneously at 18:00 BST this evening, as Gameweek 31+ heads towards its conclusion.

Southampton play host to Arsenal at St Mary’s, while Burnley enterain Watford at Turf Moor.

Mikel Arteta has made four changes from the side that lost 2-1 to Brighton and Hove Albion, one of which was enforced by injury.

Bernd Leno (£4.9m) may not play again this season and his place between the visitors’ posts is filled by Emiliano Martinez (£4.2m), who makes his first Premier League start since the 2016/17 campaign.

Sead Kolasinac‘s (£5.2m) place at left-back is taken by Kieran Tierney (£5.3m), meanwhile, and the fit-again Granit Xhaka (£5.1m) returns to central midfield to replace Matteo Guendouzi (£4.2m).

Budget Fantasy Premier League forward Eddie Nketiah (£4.4m) is also recalled up front, taking the place of Alexandre Lacazette (£9.3m).

Lacazette and Mesut Ozil (£7.1m) are only among the substitutes.

The Southampton team news is a lot more straightforward, with Ralph Hasenhuttl not making any alterations from the side that defeated Norwich City 3-0 last Friday.

Shane Long (£4.7m) returns from injury on the bench, however.

Danny Ings (£7.2m), the fourth-most-bought FPL asset of Gameweek 31+, gets another run-out up front.

Burnley are also unchanged from Gameweek 30+ but Sean Dyche is at least able to name a full complement of substitutes, with Phil Bardsley (£4.3m) available again.

Nick Pope (£5.0m), the most-owned ‘active’ goalkeeper in FPL, starts in goal as expected.

Nigel Pearson has made two changes to the Watford side that started the 1-1 draw against Leicester on Saturday.

Will Hughes (£5.3m) and Danny Welbeck (£5.8m) start in place of Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.6m) and Roberto Pereyra (£5.6m), who are both benched.


Burnley XI: Pope, Lowton, Mee, Tarkowski, Taylor, Brownhill, Westwood, Cork, McNeil, Rodriguez, Vydra.

Watford XI: Foster, Femenia, Kabasele, Dawson, Masina, Capoue, Hughes, Sarr, Cleverley, Welbeck, Deeney.

Southampton XI: McCarthy, Valery, Stephens, Bednarek, Bertrand, Ward-Prowse, Hojbjerg, Redmond, Armstrong, Obafemi, Ings.

Arsenal XI: Martinez, Bellerin, Mustafi, Holding, Tierney, Pepe, Ceballos, Xhaka, Saka, Nketiah, Aubameyang.

    Considering going

  8. Hairy Potter
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Hmm, maybe Nketiah needs to be in my starting 11 next week rather than on the bench.

    1. Niho992
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Same. Im going to play him instead Mount or Grealish

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Will he be in arteta’s

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Somehow, I'm left with the choice of starting Nketiah, Lundstram or Jordan Henderson in the last space on my starting 11. Might as well go with Nketiah.

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Most definitely

  9. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Play Mount or Nketiah?

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Might play him over Alli lol

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Him is Nketiah right?

        1. THFC4LIFE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Yep

    2. Niho992
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Nketiah

  10. FPL Pillars
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    McCarthy getting dropped

    1. Vazza
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Doubt it

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Didn’t see the mistake?

        1. Vazza
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Yes but he has plenty of game time left to make up for it.

      2. Flynny
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Not for one mistake surely?

        (McCarthy owner)

  11. AC Yew
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Ahhh played FH this week Nketiah on my original team

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Same here, though I probably would have sold him for Greenwood if I hadn't play FH. Could get some points next week if he starts against Norwich.

      1. AC Yew
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Was planning on selling this week but i think ill reconsider!

  12. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Forgot about how bad the Saints are at home, Auba needs to be scoring here now.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yep they are crap

  13. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Martinez save

  14. JustPark
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Someone probably said this already but that was really stupid, silly mistake for an experience goalkeeper.

  15. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Did anyone play Nketiah?

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah, Arteta.

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Arteta

      1. Vazza
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Lol

    3. AC Yew
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      No as i played FH.

    4. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Benched Barnes Alonso and Lundstram

        1. Niho992
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Well done !

  16. Rik Waller
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Might actually play Nketiah over Jesus for next game then,

  17. Fudgy
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Think I'll play nketiah over mane next game week.

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Bad move.

    2. Vazza
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Think I'll play nketiah over Jimenez next game week.

    3. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Think I'll play Nketiah over RVP next week

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I might play him over pope

  18. Dacra
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Benched Nketiah.. Chance of zero mind for Kdb?

    1. Woy_is_back
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I have Aurier coming in but KdB will top his 6 points if he starts

  19. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Would be nice if Mount somehow miss game vs City

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Hahaha seriously. Someone injure him during warm up!

  20. Woy_is_back
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    No way Arsenal keeps a cs

    1. Vazza
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Arsenal have Martinez and Holding in their defences. Southampton have got to score in my opinion

  21. Jonesfromthere
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Any good free hit teams guys?

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Salah KDB 3x Wolves 2x Man U 2x Chelsea 2x Arsenal

  22. -GK22-

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          It’ll be the end of FPL as we know it.

  24. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    My proposed moves for -8

    McCarthy to Patricio
    Ngakia to Aurier
    KDB to Martial

    Which gives me this for GW32

    Patricio
    Aurier TAA Doherty
    Salah Mane Martial Son Bruno
    Nketiah Rashford

    Button Connolly Robinson Simpson

    1. Woy_is_back
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Too much Man u

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Will decide between Martial and Bruno in GW32.

    2. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      KDB being sold. That's insane!

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Bringing in Mahrez during GW32 🙂

      2. Niho992
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Especially for Martial. Lol

    3. Easy Cheesy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Shouldn’t you have sold kdb last week pre chelsea if you are going to sell him? Ballsy move anyway so GL

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I have Mane and Salah.

  25. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Started lacelles over nkietiah. Getting newcastle players never works out

    1. Fudgy
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Ikr

  26. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Laca should start in FA cup and then Nketinho vs Norwich. Probably best C option next GW

  27. Woy_is_back
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Come on Pope.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      CS points already added, enjoy.

  28. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Worried about nketiah starting the fa cup game, the cup being the priority now

    Then laca starting vs norwich

    Tough call b/w him and saka for who to start

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Prob Laca starts the next game now

  29. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    GTG?

    Martinez
    TAA Aurier Saiss
    Sterling KDB Bruno Martial
    Auba(C) Nketiah Jimenez

    Nyland Mount Kiko Lascelles

    1. Niho992
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I would C Nketiah

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Woah. Over Auba? Why?

        1. Niho992
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Just kidding mate

  30. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Why did Nketiah not get the assist?

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Because he scored?

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Give him both!
