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

    Dennis playing really well. Tierney can't deal with him.

      He's still electric. For 6.1, you could do worse. If Broja wasn't an option (or is he?) at 5.5, he's still the best value striker imo

      1. diesel001

        Front three of Broja, Toney and Dennis?

    2. diesel001

      No King in the team making Watford better?

    Who’s up for the weekly Arsenal red card today? Xhaka normally doesn’t disappoint

    1. Ginkapo FPL

      Xhaka more often doesnt get a red card than does

    Dennis with a sharp shot

    Ramsdale spills it.

    Dennis looks really dangerous. I'm not feeling too great as a Ramsdale and Tierney owner...

        I know but it's -2 points if they let in another...

      Glad i got rid of ramsdale to mendy for a hit. Tierney though continues to disappoint.

  8. BeWater

    Would have been Tierney assist

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      How much mud is still in your eyes?

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 day ago

  10. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Has Partey ever hit the target from distance?

  11. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Tierney and digne have been utter crap since i got them on WC in gw 24. Will sell Digne to someone like Romero.

        Livramento does the opposite to what you need often.
