Three more Premier League matches follow hot on the heels of Arsenal’s victory over Manchester United.

Leicester City v Aston Villa, Manchester City v Watford and Norwich City v Newcastle United start at the traditional kick-off time and all feature some well-owned Fantasy Premier League (FPL) assets.

Brendan Rodgers makes four changes with one eye on Thursday’s Europa Conference League semi-final against Roma.

Caglar Soyuncu and James Justin replace Jonny Evans and Ricardo Pereira at the back, while further forward, Ademola Lookman and Patson Daka come in for Harvey Barnes and Kelechi Iheanacho.

Jamie Vardy, meanwhile, makes his return from injury as a substitute.

Aston Villa, who are on a run of four defeats in a row, opt for two changes from the 4-0 loss against Tottenham Hotspur, as Ashley Young and Leon Bailey replace the injured Lucas Digne and Danny Ings.

At the Etihad, Pep Guardiola makes six changes from Wednesday’s win over Brighton and Hove Albion.

Gabriel Jesus, Jack Grealish and Raheem Sterling all feature in attack, while Ruben Dias makes his first start since March as he partners Aymeric Laporte in defence.

For the visitors, Jeremy Ngakia, Tom Cleverley and Joshua King come in as Kiko Femenia and Juraj Kucka miss out with minor knocks and Joao Pedro drops to the bench.

Norwich face Newcastle at Carrow Road and Dean Smith makes just one change with Christoph Zimmermann in for Ben Gibson at the back.

Eddie Howe, however, rings the changes as Fabian Schar and Chris Wood are benched, with Jamaal Lascelles, Sean Longstaff, Joe Willock and Jacob Murphy all brought into the side.

    All the hype was on Sterling this gw he could still get a return but FPL Gods laughing big time at HT

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

      And probably laughing more at full time! Wouldn’t be surprised if foden comes on for him second half!

  2. Yome
    • 14 Years

    Overlooked Jesus on the Free Hit. He is and always will be the one 🙂

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      The chosen one.

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 9 Years

      Came to life just after easter too!

      1. Utopsis
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Well rested

    3. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      He is Jesus afterall

    4. Yes Ndidi
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      He is risen again

      1. Yome
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        This, it was obvious he would haul after Easter

    5. lugs

      i was toying with the idea of a Jesus, Werner, Ronaldo Frontline, but i would have had to sell Salah and Cancelo to make it happen, Salah would have been Jota who i don't have and i'm really worried about this week as there is a small chance Salah could be benched

    Guys,

    Rudiger should be back for Thurs evening, right?! Looks like I might be one man down this GW if he doesn't play...

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      We don't know yet.

    2. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I kept him on the off chance he will be

  4. BeWater
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Free hit Saka out and have Cancelo, Laporte and Sterling. Still time but isn't looking good.

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Same boat

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Thank you for the sacrifice.

    3. Yome
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Same here. I didn’t even think of bringing in Jesus. What a differential

    4. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Same three I brought in myself. I had Jesus in original free hit team but thought he might not play so didn’t take the risk!

  5. jam

    Might go for Dennis instead of Pukki for 36 DGW.

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Eddie if he's still nailed for starts

  6. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Any Sterling owners around?

    Last seen DEEP in the mud of Eithad with NOWHERE to go

  7. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone here with Jesus?

    You have my respect.

    1. Yome
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Surely Peter has him in his team

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Parker?

        1. Yome
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Rabbit?

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            Odemwingie?

            1. Big_Andy_GAWA
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 11 months ago

              Lol.

  8. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Bruno already done a masterclass for me. Cancelo on course here. Well done, lads.

  9. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Can see my original team Saka outscoring my 4 free hitters today

  10. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Scenes when Cancelo is hooked at half time..

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      And sterling

    2. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      And Cancelo's replacement bags a couple of assists

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Typical FPL

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      KdB with his ankle is at risk, not Sterling.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        As a non owner, I'd take that

  11. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Sterling had 4 double digit hauls compared to Jesus' 2. Without hindsight, who is here celebrating Jesus goals?

  12. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    So people are still buying tickets for the roulette.. luckily only Cancelo here.

    Think tombola ticket purchasers are in for few surprises tomorrow

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      How will it impact KDB?

      1. TomSaints
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Surely he’s taking the penalty?!

  22. moment

    1. TomSaints

    • NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Should've bought Jesus instead of Werner..

    • Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      WTF is Jesus doing taking KDB's penalties?

      Jesus missed a dreadful penalty in the FA Cup earlier this season.
