Midweek rotation has struck Fantasy Premier League managers once again ahead of Wednesday’s 18:00 BST kick-offs.

Mikel Arteta appears to be the chief culprit, naming Bukayo Saka (£4.7m), Nicolas Pépé (£9.2m) and Eddie Nketiah (£4.4m) on the bench for Arsenal’s meeting with Norwich.

That will be of huge frustration to the owners of such assets, especially as the Canaries have come to the Emirates Stadium with only one fit recognised centre-back in Ben Godfrey (£4.4m), tonight paired with midfielder Alex Tettey (£4.5m).

That said, those who went with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) will be in better spirits as he has been selected to play in the front-line of what looks like a 3-4-3 formation.

It features Kieran Tierney (£5.3m) and Hector Bellerín (£5.4m) as wing-backs with Sead Kolasinac (£5.2m) joined by David Luiz (£5.7m) and Shkodran Mustafi (£5.1m) in the back-three.

Meanwhile, Norwich hand recalls to key attackers Teemu Pukki (£6.5m) and Todd Cantwell (£4.6m).

For all the shuffling at Arsenal, Steve Bruce has largely left Fantasy managers content with his selection. There had been suggestions of a midweek benching for Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.4m), but the pacey winger has kept his place in the team, as has budget centre-back Jamaal Lascelles (£4.3m).

Matt Ritchie (£5.3m) is fit enough for a place on the bench, where he is joined by a rested Miguel Almirón (£5.8m).

Elsewhere, James Maddison (£7.4m) has also fallen foul of rotation, chosen among the substitutes for Leicester’s trip to Everton.

His rest means a rare start for the hard-working Marc Albrighton (£5.1m) in a four-man midfield, Harvey Barnes (£6.1m) providing the width on the opposite flank. As ever, Jamie Vardy (£9.8m) leads the attack.

Everton themselves have gone with their standard 4-4-2 formation, led by Fantasy favourites Richarlison (£8.3m) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.5m)

Arsenal XI: Martínez; Kolasinac, D Luiz, Mustafi; Tierney, Ceballos, Xhaka, Bellerín; Aubameyang, Lacazette, Nelson.

Norwich City XI: Krul; Lewis, Tettey, Godfrey, Aarons; Trybull, McLean; Cantwell, Buendía, Rupp; Pukki.

Bournemouth XI: Ramsdale; L Kelly, Aké, S Cook, A Smith; Danjuma, Lerma, Billing, Brooks; J King, Solanke.

Newcastle United XI: Dúbravka; Manquillo, Lascelles, Fernandez, Krafth; Bentaleb, Shelvey, S Longstaff; Gayle, Joelinton, Saint-Maximin.

Everton XI: Pickford; Digne, Keane, Holgate, Coleman; Gordon, Sigurdsson, A Gomes, Iwobi; Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel; Chilwell, Söyüncü, Evans, Justin; Ndidi; H Barnes, Tielemans, Praet, Albrighton; Vardy.

    Auba (C) and Lascelles owner.

    Guess I can't complain.

    1. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Same

      Wish I owned manquillo

    2. Boomerang V
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Same here. That goal in the end for Bou was so annoying but let's focus on the positive side.

  2. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Auba and Martinez did me well.

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks for the update

  3. I Member

    6 years, 1 month ago

    Patricio and Lascelles over Pope and Saiss on WC. 16 points down already.

  4. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Was the Richarlison injury serious?

  5. FPL Pillars
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    DCL is testing patience

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Him I can cope with amongst my pile of steaming poop on top of him

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        😆

        Spurs love to concede a goal so thats a slim ray of hope on the horizon

  6. Ask Yourself
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Why do I have all the worst players in my team all of a sudden

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe time to take a hit

  7. Boomerang V
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    My plan was to downgrade Auba to Nketiah to enable Sarr -> Mahrez or Son.

    I am not sure now. Auba has this streak of blanks and returns.

        1. Tempestic
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Auba captain I’d say. Fernandez, probably Pope. Basically there already

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      35 would have been on 80 odd if I hadn't pulled out of FH at last minute.

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        That must be painful guessing you would’ve gone Auba?

    For others feeling bad about their scores, Magnus Carlsen is on 12 points for this GW from 6 players.

    1. The Train Driver
      • 11 Years

      That's a shocking team for a 1st place player...

    2. I Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I don't feel bad for him. His team is shocking.

    3. Boomerang V
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      The guy has triple Villa??

      Looks like he went for the DGW all in without a WC

      1. FPL Theorist
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        He actually does have a WC left, but hasn't played it yet.

    4. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He must be a Villa fan.

  10. TomSaints
    • 8 Years

    I fell asleep during the Everton game and dreamt I was watching the Arsenal game and Auba got injured in the 5th minute. Imagine my disappointment when I woke up...
