Two Premier League matches kick off simultaneously at 19:15 GMT this evening and bring Gameweek 12 to a close.

Arsenal are looking to end a three-game losing streak at the Emirates when they take on Burnley, while Leicester City’s own iffy home form will be put to the test against Brighton and Hove Albion.

The absence of Tariq Lamptey (£4.8m) from the Seagulls’ matchday squad is the headline team news, with Graham Potter saying the wing-back’s omission was precautionary in nature:

The exclusion of Lamptey is one of three changes that Graham Potter has made from Monday’s 2-1 defeat by Southampton, with Aaron Connolly (£5.3m) and Adam Webster (£4.4m) also dropping out.

Neal Maupay (£6.1m), Alireza Jahanbakhsh (£5.4m) and Dan Burn (£4.3m) are recalled for Albion.

As for Leicester, Brendan Rodgers has largely stuck with the same side that snatched a last-gasp win over Sheffield United last Sunday.

Wilfred Ndidi (£4.8m) is in for Nampalys Mendy (£4.5m) but the Foxes are otherwise unchanged.

In north London, Mikel Arteta has made just one alteration from their defeat to Spurs.

It’s an enforced one, too, with the injured Thomas Partey (£5.0m) replaced by Mohamed Elneny (£4.4m) in central midfield.

Sean Dyche has named the same starting XI that drew 1-1 against Everton last weekend.


Arsenal XI: Leno, Bellerin, Holding, Gabriel, Tierney, Willian, Xhaka, Elneny, Saka, Lacazette, Aubameyang.

Burnley XI: Pope, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Westwood, Brownhill, McNeil, Brady, Wood, Rodriguez.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Fofana, Evans, Fuchs, Albrighton, Tielemans, Ndidi, Justin, Pérez, Maddison, Vardy.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Ryan, Veltman, Dunk, Burn, Bissouma, White, March, Gross, Jahanbakhsh, Maupay, Welbeck.

      Wait for next GW. Dont get him vs Spurs

  2. jason_ni
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Was watching arsenal game for my sins.
    Flicked on prime to see the leicester goals, that 1st vardy assist, wow, almost debruyne-eske!

  3. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Soucek or Lookman?

    Lookman feels like a more exciting pick.
    Has performed well over the last 4 games which looked pretty tough on paper.

    1. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Lookman for me

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Coin toss. Live a little. Soucek only scores boring headers 😉

    3. Vazza
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      ITs up to you whether you would like a defensive midfielder with difficult upcoming fixtures or a forward with easier fixtures

  4. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Chances that Jesus starting vs WBA ? own him already, cant sell because i have bigger problems in team

    1. TOLV TUMS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Who knows. Depends a little on Kun's tummy I'd guess.

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Completely lottery as Mahrez owner. My guess is that two from KDB, Sterling, Mahrez and Jesus are benched

  5. MikeS
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Original plan was Jota and vardy to kdb and Brewster..

    1. camarozz
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Me too only Salah and Brewster. Tough to sell him now isn't it?

    2. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I sold Justin and Vardy last night. Nice parting gifts, but I hope my decision is still the right one.

  6. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    46(-4). Is anyone able to confirm my LMS exit?

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      safety score is 41
      you are safe

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Auto subs?

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Jota autosubs not included yet.

        1. Gobigorgohome
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          gotcha

        2. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Looks like 43 needed.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Very likely when autosubs are included in the next 10 minutes

      1. Gobigorgohome
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        oops autosubs

      2. JONALDINHO
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        That’s tuff I’ll be back next year

  7. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Max 6.0 fwd to fund Bruno, already have Adams.

    A) Welbeck
    B) Benteke
    C) Reid (Fulham guy, surprisingly good stats against weak teams)

    1. burnhilla
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      A

  8. burnhilla
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    For 3 GW's:

    A: Stones
    B: Dias
    C: Walker
    D: Cancelo

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I’d go Walker. As nailed as any and seems to be more of a threat than Dias.

      1. burnhilla
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Just noticed that I can't go Walker - Budget 6.0.

        1. The Ilfordian
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Fair enough. Cancelo seems a better player and since being dropped seems to be consistent. He’s the more exciting pick but popular view is Dias of course

  9. cuppatea78
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Who is the best Jota replacement? I have £8.1 to use once he is sold.
    .I already have Son, Fernandes, Grealish, and Mendy.

    Thanks

    1. Z
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Zaha

  10. Sarri-ball
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Balbuena 4.4 been solid enough

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      He should have scored 2 goals plus an assist

    2. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Just got him for Kilman. Wasn't much else around at that price.

  11. Z
    • 8 Years

    16. lugs
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      46 after a cap fail, Bellerin going from 9pts to 1 in a few seconds really hurt

    17. GGGIULY
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      74(-4)

  12. Bruce Lee
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    If you're selling Vardy before Everton, Spurs and United

    You need to be checked up

    Vardy loves playing on the counter

    All those teams have the tendancy to bottle it

    Vardy owners HODL... I'll repeat, HODL

    1. Niho992
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      he wont have space vs Mou Spurs that's for sure

      1. Bruce Lee
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Fair point lol, I'll take a penno vs Spurs

    2. TOLV TUMS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Apart from the obvious Vardy/counter fact, the rest is complete speculation. Also he won't have room behind v Spurs. Not that I'm selling.

      1. Bruce Lee
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        So true, Everton, United and Spurs hardly ever bottle it

        Thanks

  13. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Soucek and Taylor. My bench is in good shape I guess...

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years

  14. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    1. Bruce Lee
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Take the 13 pts and be quiet mate

  16. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Zaha good pick to replace Jota?

    1. MoeZe3bi
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I dont like his fixtures run

  17. Steager
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Jota to Maddison?

    Looks like he's hit form.

    1. tafrère
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Look at Leicester fixtures lol.

    2. Steager

  20. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Any ideas with this squad? No Spurs is taking it's toll. Looking at funding options: Chilwell to James? Downgrade a fwd to Decordova-Reid?

    McCarthy, Forster
    Chilwell, KWP, Lamptey, Targett, Kilman
    Salah, KDB, Bruno, Grealish, Soucek
    DCL, Wilson, Bamford

    PS - Don't need Spurs right away, just thinking ahead.

  21. Casual Player
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Oof glad I changed late in the week to start Dallas over Justin. Looks to be the difference between doubling or halving my OR.

  22. MoeZe3bi
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    McCarthy-Ryan
    Chilwell-Zouma-Walker-Lamptey-Mitchell
    Salah-Son-Mahrez-Grealish-4.3
    Kane-DCL-Wilson
    0.6ITB-2FT

    Walker>Diaz
    Mahrez>Bruno
    DCL>Watkins/Bamford
    For -4
    Yes or no?

  23. Vazza
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Bellerin to Taylor worked out well 🙂

  24. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Lamptey, Kilman & Mitchell is a nightmare!!!

    Think I'm just going take a hit for Reece or Cresswell this week.
