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.

    Ronaldo was always the first name on the freehit sheet for me. Not sure why I was so confident this week over Bruno but glad I was. Just wish i'd captained him over Son, missed opportunity to jump up the rankings there but you have to go with the form team don't you? Son and co been smashing it lately.

      Fixtures over form, always.

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      Maybe because he’s arguably the best player in history

    Sancho has been very disappointing. Bought him 3 weeks ago and not even an assist.

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Sancho and Werner were massive Bundesliga stars, but both struggling hard in the Premier League. Wonder how Haaland will do...

  3. GE
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Ronaldo (C) to Bruno (C) last second went well

  4. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Bednarek only 2 points less than CR7

    I'll take it

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years

      I’m still fuming at Livramento being benched..

      1. Pep bites Kun
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 days ago

        Yes, rough one. I have him 1st sub. Played Rudiger

  5. Cilly Bonnolly

    Sterling looking lively? Need him to have two shots on target for ninety quid.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      There's one.

      1. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 days ago

        Nice.

  6. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Bought Brojhorst at £5.3m and he's still managed to be bad value.

    Bruno SOT

  8. Sun Jihai

    FHers averaging 32 points
    No chip teams average 10
    FHers looking good so far

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      The gw was always going to mainly come down to whether man utd assets performed against Norwich and how Salah/TAA get on against Man Utd

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Single-handedly down to CR7. He's had a seismic influence on this week.

  9. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Fernandinho actually got booked, wow.

  10. EDUARDO DA SILVA
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Emirates era players are mentally weak, its like playing men vs boys.

  11. tokara
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    What happen to Che Adams???

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Look at his recent returns.

    2. moment
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      He was never very good; he just regressed to the mean

  12. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Most my rivals free hit. None have Ronaldo. Idiots.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      What on Earth?

    2. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Was 1.68 to score with the bookies, not having him on free hit makes no sense

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 days ago

        They went with Bruno/Kane instead.

        I’d have 100% had Ronaldo myself

    3. AD2110
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Easy to say after he scores a hatty though. United have been awful recently and Ronaldos returns haven’t exactly been consistent…

  13. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Fernandinho very lucky to get only a yellow there I think

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Should be off imo

  14. Deulofail
    • 10 Years

    Arsenal and the donut of hell

  15. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Bruno time

  16. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Salah + Broja > Jota + Werner (-4)

  17. Random Name
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    literally struggles to control the ball

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      😆 Pinged into him though

  18. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Shane long should be booked for that simulation. Booooo!

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      bies.

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 days ago

        ner.

    It’s sad gw… can’t wait to star WC..

  20. Hughes Your Daddy

    Watford playing some good stuff, Brentford really under pressure here at the end

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      aaaaand it's gone

  23. JONALDINHO

    13(-4) from 8. Looks like I’m heading out of the LMS and top 1k. Horrid week

  24. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Well on-track for first GW where no player scores more than appearance points...

    1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      With Janssen points on the bench. Lovely stuff.

  25. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        1. JONALDINHO
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 days ago

          Of course

      2. Rainer

        C.

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Jansson
      95 min

  26. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Should have waited last week, but did the mistake of selling Salah to Bruno. Had I waited, I would definitely have sold Kane for CR7. Risk taken, risk lost.

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Not to worry too much.

  27. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Jansson goal according to Sofascore

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Looks like Eriksen assist.

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 days ago

        Camzy on here will be happy

  28. Rainer

    Salah is finished.
