Gameweek 28 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues on Sunday with Watford v Arsenal at Vicarage Road.

Kick-off is at 14:00 GMT.

Watford are without Ismaila Sarr and Josh King, both of whom miss out through hamstring injuries, although the latter is deemed ‘precautionary’ by the club.

As a result, Cucho Hernandez and Joao Pedro join Emmanuel Dennis up front in Roy Hodgson’s 4-3-3 formation.

Elsewhere, full-back Kiko Femenia returns to the starting XI in place of Jeremy Ngakia (hamstring), having missed the game at Old Trafford last weekend with a minor issue.

For the visitors, Emile Smith Rowe is out with Covid while Takehiro Tomiyasu has failed to recover from a calf injury.

That means Mikel Arteta names an unchanged XI, with popular picks Aaron Ramsdale and Bukayo Saka featuring from the off.


GAMEWEEK 28 LINE-UPS

Watford XI: Foster, Femenia, Cathcart, Samir, Kamara, Louza, Sissoko, Cleverley, Hernandez, Pedro, Dennis

Subs: Bachmann, Etebo, Masina, Sema, Kabasele, Kalu, Sierralta, Kucka, Kayembe

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, Cedric, White, Gabriel, Tierney, Partey, Xhaka, Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli, Lacazette

Subs: Leno, Holding, Pepe, Tavares, Lokonga, Elneny, Nketiah, Swanson, Hutchinson

    Why does it say Arteta is playing an unchanged side on the FFS site if Saka is benched. Am I missing something here?

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Saka’s playing.

    How many players with a double do you have for the next GW? I'm interested in how are people prepared.

    1. FPL Brains

      1. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 24 days ago

    2. One More Hit
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      6, will hopefully be seven when I bring in another Pool mid.
      If Bowen is crocked will aim for an 8th

    3. OLEgend

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        1. Debauchy
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 24 days ago

        2. Rainer
          • 9 Years

    2. Debauchy
      • 13 Years

  18. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    What was Dennis doing 😆 what kind of skill is that just before the pass to Kiko 😆 Lmaoooo

  19. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Dennis really involved in the action. Bodes well

  20. Pacer.
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Crouchy used to do that for fun

    Arteta's hair density is still magnificent

  21. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Which minute will Dennis get his yellow card?

    1. Pacer.
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      One minute prior to his red card

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      74th

    3. The White Pele
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      first or second one?

  22. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    It was great movement for the Watford goal.

    But he does look to shin it a bit!

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      U have to shin it for the perfect connection for a bicycle kick

      Otherwise it goes over

    2. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Didn't Rooney shin his against City?
      That's how you do it! 🙂

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 24 days ago

        I guess so, unless it's a high overhead and you wrap the upper of your foot around it to get it back down.

      2. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Yes he did,. Great goal nonetheless, but he did shin it.

  23. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Odegaard Teirney and Saka are a level above the other arsenal players

  24. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Been some pretty great luck for free hitters this week

    Chelsea mega hauls
    Salah blank
    Arsenal cleanie now in the bin as well

    Actually I suppose most people went with salah on free hit except me, also avoided Trent which was a mistake

  25. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Which is likely to be the best remaining double gw to attack with a free hit?

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      36

    2. Pacer.
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Maybe the latest one will have least rotation as more teams are out of more competitions and it will be clear who has a lot to play for and cannot rest players

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Cheers guys.

        So you wouldn't be tempted into loading up with extra Arsenal or Spurs players next week?

  26. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Arsenal wearing red shorts doesn't look right

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Why are they wearing red?

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 24 days ago

        No idea

  27. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Tierney and Laca are useless. Do something you fools

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Add Martinelli. Invisible.

  28. Haalander
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Is Martinelli even playing there today he hasn’t had a kick yet

    1. Pacer.
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      He had one kick and he kicked it into another player

  29. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Femenia the ultimate troll

    Clean sheet when I benched him in dgw 26

    Start him in 27. Not in the squad for CS vs man utd

    Get fed up and sell him. Assist vs arsenal

  30. Tic Tacs
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Arsenal and Wolves defence has been rubbish since I brought them in!
