After Son Heung-min and Harry Kane failed to deliver in the early kick-off, there is a great opportunity for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers without the Spurs premium pair to make ground.

More of the leading captaincy candidates feature in the 3pm kick-offs, with Bukayo Saka, Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes in action and all starting for their respective clubs.

Arsenal face Southampton at St Mary’s but they will have to do without Alexandre Lacazette this afternoon, as the Frenchman does not make the matchday squad.

He is one of two players replaced from the side that lost to Brighton, with Emile Smith Rowe dropping down to the bench. Nuno Tavares and Eddie Nketiah come into the side.

Ralph Hasenhuttl makes four changes to the Saints side beaten 6-0 by Chelsea, meanwhile.

Armando Broja, Yan Valery, Romain Perraud and Lyanco are all brought into the side as Adam Armstrong, Che Adams, Valentino Livramento and Mohammed Salisu drop to the bench.

Ralf Rangnick has gone for the jugular at Old Trafford, going without an orthodox defensive midfielder for the visit of unchanged Norwich City.

Jesse Lingard, Diogo Dalot, Paul Pogba and Anthony Elanga are all brought into the side at the expense of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Marcus Rashford, Nemanja Matic and the injured Fred.

There is less Fantasy interest in the match at Vicarage Road, where the managers of Watford and Brentford have made only one change apiece.

Emmanuel Dennis replaces the injured Cucho Hernandez for the hosts, while Pontus Jansson recovers from illness and takes Mathias ‘Zanka’ Jorgensen‘s spot at centre-half.

      Sadly he is behind Cedric on my bench.

  2. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    We want City to score to give Salah 120...

  3. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years

    Mahrez doesn't get enough respect from Pep.

  4. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Hooold, LIV!

  5. Brehmeren
    • 15 Years

  6. Scots Gooner

    I know it’s early, but humour me -

    Ramsdale / Bruno / Saka / Maupey to Ederson / KDB / Jota / Mateta for - 12?

    1. Utopsis
      • 5 Years

      Put your phone down, rest your head for a bit

  7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

  8. Zimo
    • 7 Years

  9. Rainer
    • 9 Years

  11. Rainer
    • 9 Years

  12. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years

    Afcon broke Mo.

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Losing to Mane

      1. Glasner Ball
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Cheikhou Kouyate

  13. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Problem is Salah will come out of this by getting 4 at some point

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Probably for psg next season

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        lol

      2. El Presidente
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Real Madrid

    2. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      GW1 next season?

  14. grooveymatt65
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    If Chelsea double then who are people likely to captain.. I guess Havertz will be a popular option?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Havertz, Mount, James.
      Salah form is off-putting for (C).

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

      Yeah.
      I’m either getting him or Werner in and captaining them.
      Might even do both and shift out Alonso. (Have Alonso and James already).

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      James

    4. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Thinking either James or Havertz.

      Have money ready to get Havertz and Werner in this week for Dennis & Bowen. But don't trust Werner that much, it's more the lack of forward options...

      1. FredrikH
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Looking at Pukki Mateta Dennis frontline on my WC.

    5. grooveymatt65
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Cool stuff

      Are people put off by potential mount benching then?

  15. Philosopher's Stones
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Some early thoughts here.

    Would you BB this lot?

    Sa(Burnley), Weghorst (Wolves), Targett(Norwich), Veltman(Southampton)

  16. FredrikH
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Honestly need 4 more midfield slots to build the 34WC team I want for a 36BB.
    Mount Havertz Coutinho Gordon Maddison Mahrez Sterling Salah Jota

  17. Forza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 8 months ago

    Steffen, Ake and Sterling are so pathetic. Pep being blind to it is so strange.

  18. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    That's it Mo. Save it for Tuesday night 😉

  19. Mweene
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Didn't think Emmanuel Dennis would be saving my GW. Relieved I started him over Weghorst though.

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

      For now

  20. Glasner Ball
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Oh well, up to us to stop Liverpool in the final 😀

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Nah, the Crystal Palace beer festival needs to stay on its original date 😛

      1. Glasner Ball
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        haha - noooo 😀

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I intend to be there on 14th May. My Chelsea shirt will not be on show :mrgreen:

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Fancy your chances tomorrow without Gallagher?

      I'm expecting Chelsea to put out a strong lineup tomorrow. Their top 4 place not in danger given the form of United & Arsenal.

      1. Glasner Ball
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Well, even with Mitchell and Olise I don't really fancy our chances - and looking like they both could be out will be rough. After the CL exit they going to go for it for sure.

  21. Philosopher's Stones
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Salah 5.5 enabler next season?

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Still gonna avoid 😉

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Good call 😉

  22. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    What does this result mean for City’s double?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Probably in 37

    2. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Could go into 36 tbh

  23. bench boost for every gamew…
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    If i only changed the captain.. Missed deadline but in retrospect it was not that bad.. But Kane cap is annoying when Bruno cappers get 6 points over my 4.
    Liverpool will win with how much they want. Was the game at Wembley and Old trafford the same sport?
