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.

    Everton doing United a favour

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

      Chelsea United in top 4. Wolves 5th

      1. Simon69

        Wolves will push hard.

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

          I'd love for them to get into top 4. May mean they need to get a result at Stamford Bridge

    Damn thought richarlison was on penalties and nearly in dreamland

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

      he probably is when siggy isn't on the pitch. too bad for you he started this game

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

        I’d have taken a goal pregame so sitting pretty happy now anyway

    2. The 12th Man
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Why did you think Richarlison was on penalties?
      That’s the first penalty we’ve been awarded in 38 games.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        He is a pen taker for Brazil

        1. The 12th Man
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Siggy is for Iceland

    Auba should retire, useless dud missed two sitter already

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

      This is idiotic.

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

        He's just looking for attention by saying the most ridiculous things he can think of. Pay him no heed.

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

          Hyperbole is a rhetorical device, pleb

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

            That's literally just the dictionary definition of hyperbole and as a comment means absolutely nothing.

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

              It means that if you actually think what I say is meant to be taken literally you should delete your account from this site

            Do you need to get a Gaul friend ?

    2. *Reformed-Character*
      • 9 Years

      another great comment...

  4. Railwayman
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Any chance for Pulisic not to play at all tonight ? Greenwood from my bench would be really nice in that case...

    1. Rains of Castamere
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      You'll find out in 50 mins

  5. Rains of Castamere

    How is Auba looking? Not watching. Is he playing centrally?

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

      more central than previous matches

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

    Will Vardy score again ever?

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

    Are we sure Greenwood is a starter now?

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

      It's either that or run and hope James

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Nope

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

      Games where teams sit deep it'll be Greenwood and James will push for the place if there's space on the pitch.

    4. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I think he's going to get a lot of minutes certainly.

  8. Gobigorgohome
    • 15 Years

    6 years, 1 month ago

    The person who signed that £40,000,000 cheque for Joelinton needs to be jailed.

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

      The person who sold Joelinton for only 40 milion needs to be jailed.

      He is balon d or potential under better manager tbf

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

        Never seen even a flash of the potential for the full season I've watched him play. I watch plenty of Newcastle games.

    2. Athletic Dildao
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I have a theory that we actually paid 5. And an extra 5 for them to say it was 40

    Who's ready to play their cheap defenders over mid priced attacking options?

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

      Why not make mid-priced attacking options cheap ones and get the heavy hitting defenders instead?
