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.

    There probably needs to be some sort of time limit on these decision reviews

    If it takes that long they’re obviously not sure

    And if they're not sure it shouldn’t really be given

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Don't know why it took so long though, it was clear handball

  2. Davido989
    • 15 Years

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      His time will come, probably soon

      Loads of shots & shots in the box last two gameweeks

      I’ve a felling GW36, 37, 38 are his real payback though so needs patience

  3. Bruce Lee
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    DCL still playing?

    Asking for a mate

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

    2. Jekori
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      just was denied by soyuncu for a 1-1 with schmeichel. Soyuncu caught up with him and sat him down, i get why soy is such a baps magnet

  4. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Keane put pressure on him to hand ball it, not sure who took the free.

    1. mrodgers91

  6. mrodgers91
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Absolute joke that penalty, as jeff said if they have to spend 3 minutes watching it in slow mo 25 times it cant be a clear and obvious error therefore original decision should stand

    1. DAZZ
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed, harsh decision, Leicester should be pissed off with that

    2. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      They have to get it right, Clear Handball.

      1. mrodgers91
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Problem with VAR is theres not always a right or wrong, instead of it being up to the interpretation of referee on the pitch its up to a different refs interpretation 200 miles away. Theres no way it was a clear and obvious error from the on field decision.
        Liverpool fans opinion though so maybe slightly biased

      2. Kellz86
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        It's a handball in the end, but not clear and obvious in the run of play, nor is it a definitive action of purpose to disrupt the path of the ball via hand from Ndidi.

        Just like the "armpit" offsides calls this season, VAR has been used to micro-analyze way too much.

        Yet defenders STILL get away with manhandling opposing players in the box on free kicks - what a joke.

  7. Bruce Lee
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    This is great going for Everton though...

  8. DAZZ
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

    2. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

        Thanks cam for the reply earlier on Holgate

  10. dark91
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    That should be a Digne assist since he took the fk

  11. fr3d
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Get DCL off for a well deserved rest

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

      Tbh can see that happening

  12. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Retrospectively counting my points if I'd kept the (C) on Bruno and not sold Richarlison for Martial (C)...

    1. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I did the same, depressing isnt it !?

  13. Garlana
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    This game burns me again for chasing points, took Richarlison out for martial....

  14. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Siggy Richa double owners in dreamland.

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Not many of those around I would say.

  15. Gobigorgohome
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    If only there is Bruno in this Arsenal team

  16. Dele
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    DCL assist?

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

      No

    2. Gobigorgohome
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      nah

  17. Simon69
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    G2G or should I be starting Ings (Man City) ahead of Basham (Burnley)?

    Ederson

    Doherty, Maguire, Justin, Basham

    De Bruyne, Fernandes, Martial, Mount

    Jimenez, Aubameyang

    Subs: Martin, Ings, Egan, Duda

  18. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Give it to DCL

  19. Niho992
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Rodgers proving once more he is fraud

  20. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    DCL is useless

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He’s not that good.

  21. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Weird feeling this. Own Rich and Bruno, rashford captained and Greenwood benched 🙁

  22. Simon69
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Richarlison doing zero against Norwich and is already off the mark vs Leicester. Typical.

  23. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Highly doubt Leicester make top 4. And I highly doubt Rodgers will be their manager this time next season.

    Absolute fraud of a manager.

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Sadly, with regard to the top 4, I'm sure that you are right. 🙁

  24. Gobigorgohome
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Auba header saved by Krul

  25. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Only a matter of time for Arsenal & Auba who is very central.

    1. Greek Freak
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Can't wait to hear all about how unlucky he was not to score.

  26. TheDragon
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    2-0 no DCL brilliant

    Still a better option than Ings though.... right...

  27. Lucy2019
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    No serious player has Richarlison

    1. Simon69
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Interesting stat that.

    2. Jack Burton
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Got rid for Martial bored of this season now

    3. Tcheco
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He's the 6th highest scoring mid in the game

  28. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Auba 2 SOT

  29. Bielsa's Bucket
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Surprised Arsenal haven't scored yet

    1. Simon69
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      That's the worrying bit.

      1. Bielsa's Bucket
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Can imagine Auba captainers must be wincing every missed chance

  30. Dele
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Jota and DCL stinking out my front line, when will this end...
