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.

    Keeping hold of Rich Bruno paying off. Hopefully DCL delivers too

    1. WVA

      Rich is a season keeper although I've not owned him once

  2. Brosstan

    Should be Keane assist if they follow their own rules. He forced the error, not Digne.

    1. Lukakuna
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      What's the rule for this? That the player forcing the handball or error gets the assist?

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

        So if a defender under no pressure handles it, the assist goes to the FK taker, but if the defender is under pressure then the attacker who put him under gets it? Thats a bit confusing

      2. Brosstan
        • 12 Years

        Nevermind the wording isnt "forced the error", its whoever "earned the penalty".. whatever that means in situations like that

  4. Salarrivederci

    I don't really care about that penalty due to Gylfi and Keane taking the points and stuff, but I actually think DCL jumps into Soyüncu with a knee to his back. That happens before Ndidis handball. What ya think?

  5. diesel001

    20 minutes gone.

    Everton 2-0 up.

    DCL has touched the ball once in that whole period.

    DCL - what a waster.

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

    Rashford, Jimenez, DCL is the power front line right?

    2, 2 x 2, 2 (pending)

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

      More like 2, 2 x 2, 1 (pending YC)

    2. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      All still outscoring Jota although I think DCL will match.

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

    is Rashford + DCL > Greenwood + Kane for free daft? Spurs fixtures look great

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

      Looks great

    2. DF
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Rash vs Bournemouth could bite you hard. I wouldn't personally but gl if you do

  17. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years

    DCL bodied

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

      He will almost certainly get injured or a red card

  18. Samwise the Brave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Stupid for DCL, should have shot

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

      I think he would've liked to but his shot was atrocious.

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

  19. Champions League Varane

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years

  30. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    Rodgers going mental at Albrighton during the water break

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Should be going mental at Justin and Ndidi.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        He had a serious bee in his bonnet with Albrighton anyways - gave him an absolute roasting in front of the whole squad
