Following the lunchtime double-header at Leicester and Southampton, there are another two Premier League matches kicking off concurrently at 14:00 BST.

Two sides who have yet to gain a point are on the road this afternoon, with Arsenal playing host to Sheffield United and Wolverhampton Wanderers entertaining Fulham.

The headline team news from Molineux is that Daniel Podence (£5.6m) is fit to feature, with the Portuguese winger replacing Adama Traore (£6.4m) in Wolves’ three-man attack.

Leander Dendoncker (£4.9m) and budget Fantasy Premier League defender Max Kilman (£4.0m) are also brought into the side, with Joao Moutinho (£5.5m) dropping to the bench and Ruben Vinagre (£4.4m) not in the squad at all.

Reports on Friday suggested that Vinagre was set for a switch to Olympiacos.

Raul Jimenez (£8.6m), signed by a further 329,362 FPL managers in the run-up to Gameweek 3, leads the line for the hosts but Marcal (£4.9m) hasn’t recovered from injury and misses out.

Scott Parker’s ongoing search to find his best starting XI has seen him rotate yet again, with the Fulham teamsheet showing three changes from the 3-0 defeat at Aston Villa.

Michael Hector (£4.4m), Denis Odoi (£4.5m) and the injured Kenny Tete (£4.5m) make way in defence, with Antonee Robinson (£4.4m), Ola Aina (unpriced) and Maxime Le Marchand (£4.4m) all starting in their steads.

Aleksandar Mitrovic (£6.0m), the only Fulham player owned by more than 3% of FPL managers, and budget midfielder Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa (£4.5m) both start.

At the Emirates, Sheffield United’s sole alteration sees John Egan (£4.9m) replace Ethan Ampadu (£4.5m) at the heart of the defence.

Bargain-bin FPL midfielder Oliver Burke (£4.5m) is again part of a two-man Blades attack, with the transfer of Rhian Brewster (£4.5m) not completed in time for the ex-Liverpool striker to feature this afternoon.

Mikel Arteta has made four changes from Monday’s defeat at Liverpool, the most notable of which sees Alexandre Lacazette (£8.5m) – who has yet to blank in FPL this season – drop to the bench.

Eddie Nketiah (£5.8m) instead joins Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.9m) and Willian (£8.0m) in a three-man attack.

Rob Holding (£4.5m), Granit Xhaka (£5.5m) and Ainsley Maitland-Niles (£5.0m) are also omitted from the line-up, with Gabriel (£5.1m), Dani Ceballos (£5.0m) and Bukayo Saka (£5.3m) handed recalls.


Arsenal XI: Leno, Bellerin, Luiz, Gabriel, Tierney, Ceballos, Elneny, Saka, Willian, Nketiah, Aubameyang.

Sheffield United XI: Ramsdale, Basham, Egan, Robinson, Baldock, Lundstram, Berge, Osborn, Stevens, McGoldrick, Burke.

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Patricio, Saiss, Coady, Boly, Kilman, Neves, Dendoncker, Semedo, Neto, Jimenez, Podence.

Fulham XI: Areola, Bryan, Ream, Le Marchand, Aina, Cairney, Anguissa, Robinson, De Cordova-Reid, Cavaleiro, Mitrovic.

    Atleast I did Mitro to DCL this week, avoided stubborn avoidance

  8. Brosstan

    5 years, 9 months ago

    Dumbass Neto running into the same channel as Jimenez and ruining the attack

  9. Nightcrawler

    5 years, 9 months ago

    Hate to say it but owning jiminez is the ultimate sheep move. U want to maximise returns vs crap teams u go with explosive players not a notorious non hauler just becuase everyone else was. Deserved blank..

    1. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      He's proven to be one of the most consistent scorers over the last two seasons.

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        He is a troll. Im surprised people still reply seriously

        😉

        1. Drip Doctor
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Only room for one troll around here.

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Did you not read what he said? Jimi isn't explosive

      3. Coys96
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Exactly. I got him last GW with fixtures against West Ham, Fulham & Leeds in next 3. Classic example of FPL bad-luck

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      He’s been solid for aegis it’s hardly a bad move, just unfortunate the wolves seem to be going backwards

    3. TyroneGAA
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Not really he’s playing Fulham

    4. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Agreed, and I own him. He's a troll and a DM, yet always avoids criticism as does Nuno for always playing defensive and counter attack football no matter the oppo

    5. pablo discobar

      Like ings v west brom you mean?

      Wind your neck in you silly cont

      Great fixtures and essential in the future 😉

    7. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years

      Your house must be filled with fish by now.

    8. Legendary!
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Disagree with your sheep label but agree with the content. Raul is hardly explosive and Wolves does this very annoying thing where, from a FPL perspective, (anecdotally - I haven’t looked at the stats) they don’t beat “weaker” teams or they beat them 1-0/2-1with a player like Dedoncker (read “unimportant”) scoring. Can be very frustrating. Raul will hopefully do well based on history but you just have to stick with him and is not really a. C option unless against the big teams

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Ugh. I know it's wrong but why does wanting to sign Lookman feel so right?

  11. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Son starts...first sub for James no show. Maybe some luck this week but limping off after 10 minutes wouldnt surprise

    If it wasn't for the rumored Son injury I surely wouldn't have wildcarded. Jose you lier . He was the key reason to spread his cash and Werner's one

  23. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

  26. Firmino
    • 10 Years

  28. Pep Roulette
