Four more Premier League matches kick off at 3pm BST this afternoon, none of which features a ‘big six’ side.

Popular budget Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players abound in these fixtures instead, with the likes of Danny Ward, Neco Williams, Josh Dasilva, Leon Bailey and Andreas Pereira in action.

Pereira has shaken off a minor injury to feature for Fulham against Brentford, who have Dasilva in their starting XI for the second week running.

The bargain-bin Brentford midfielder was the fourth-most-bought player of Gameweek 3 and was subject to more than 825,000 transfers in.

Bernd Leno and Jay Stansfield replace Marek Rodak and Neeskens Kebano in Marco Silva’s first line-up changes of the season.

Thomas Frank has made only one alteration from last week’s win over Manchester United, with Mads Roerslev dropping to the bench and Yoane Wissa coming back into the side.

Bailey is recalled as Steven Gerrard makes three changes to his Villa side, with Emiliano Buendia and Ezri Konsa also promoted to the starting line-up. Philippe Coutinho and Danny Ings are benched, while Diego Carlos is injured.

Patrick Vieira makes just one change from Monday’s draw with Liverpool, with Odsonne Edouard coming in for Nathaniel Clyne.

Nottingham Forest are unchanged apart from the enforced Steve Cook/Moussa Niakhate swap at the back, so new signings Morgan Gibbs-White, Remo Freuler, Cheikhou Kouyate and Emmanuel Dennis have to make do with substitute duty.

Tom Davies replaces the injured Abdoulaye Doucoure for Everton, as Salomon Rondon comes in at the expense of Dwight McNeil.

Ward is between the posts for Leicester City, who omit Wesley Fofana from their side as a move to Chelsea grows closer. Harvey Barnes and Ayoze Perez replace Fofana and the benched Youri Tielemans.

Joe Aribo, Sekou Mara and Adam Armstrong are in for Jan Bednarek, Stuart Armstrong and Che Adams for the Saints.

    • 8 Years

    Bailey an option again 😀

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      A fraction cheaper as well

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Always an option.

      Group think had him on the outer.

    3. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Looking forward to a "Do we get Bailey back?" article

    4. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      An option for dropping point?

    5. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      People are ditching certain players too fast imo. Perisic is a great example. Am Feeling proud with my 12 points from him today.

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Not really if the tactic is managing price swings

        1. PompeyUpNorth!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Depends on which player I guess, but loads panic far too early from what I’m seeing. I’d rather have the points than cash to be honest and players like Mount, Perisic, Robbo, Bailey will return and even haul I believe.

          1. Magic Zico
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Classic 'points than cash', that's obvious - but the argument of the guys is that down the line the cash will bring more points ... I do not take stand, last year aggressive this year patient. Nothing wrong.

            1. PompeyUpNorth!
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 7 months ago

              Noones wrong. Each to their own definitely. It’s just my opinion that ‘some’ are transferring out decent players too quickly just cause they may lose.1.
              I’ve lost .1 on Bailey, Perisic and Robbo but I’m not concerned at this stage..
              They’ll rise again when they all return I think, then I’ll reassess things.

    6. ‘Tis the Season
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Was always an option. Knee Jerkers smh

  2. Alan The Llama
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Cmon KDH

  3. afsr
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    What to do with 2FT here?

    Ward
    TAA, Cancelo, James, Perisic
    Salah, Diaz, Martinelli, Gross
    Haaland, Jesus

    Iversen, Andreas, Neco, Archer
    0.8 ITB

    1. afsr
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Can't think of anything bar Iversen -> Raya/Sanchez

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Iversen > Raya and save 1FT

  4. mixology

    Racing to beat price rises strikes again

    How many brought in Cucurella/Walker early but would have brought in Perisic if waiting until today/last night? I'm guilty.

    Pondering Perisic's expected starts going forward when CL starts

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Price changes are annoying
      The more casual players don’t care about them and make their decisions straight after matches (bring in the player that got the most points), but this can force the hands of more keen players even though it should be rational to delay and make decisions on the most possible information (pressers, injury news, leaks). Fun game theory element to the game.

  5. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Rival took Kane C
    I have Haaland C

    Who wins?

    1. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Rival

  6. Arvin-ation
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Kept Perisic but captained Son....

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Son should’ve gone after last week 14 points down + tomorrow

  7. Dacra
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Took our Perisic on WC, huzzah!

    1. Dacra
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Out

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      WC is overrated 😛

    3. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He'll obviously be high-risk, high-reward all season. Wasn't expecting him to start until rumours yesterday

  8. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    If Ward doesnt keep a cs today i guess it will be the last time he will ever be in my line up.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Regardless it could be the last time for me

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah money in the bank here for a keeper next week

  9. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Let’s say all are fit and nailed, would you have Cucu, Perisic, Henry or maybe one of the Brighton defs?

    Also, would you keep Mount if he won’t bring bread this week?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I have none of those ... for now am only considering Dunk

    2. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      All fit and nailed. Perisic by a country mile

    3. MrZ
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Cucu by miles.
      Nailed & cheaper than Perisic

  10. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Bailey hattrick

    It's written in the stars!

    1. MrZ
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      CRY is decent defensively.
      On my 2nd bench also so can haul LoL

    2. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I’ll wait to get my 0.1 back.

      Then sell him

  11. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Only have Neco in my XI playing in this set of games, with Patterson on the bench and having sold Andreas. Am I really going to watch the Everton Forest game?

    Oh wait, I have Ward! Maybe this will save me

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yep Neco and Ward here also

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Leicester game will surely be the most entertaining of these anyway

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah I agree, but I think checking out Patterson vs Neco will be useful for my FPL game planning unfortunately

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      If I can get 3 points combined from Neco and Ward I'll be absolutely over the moon

  12. ‘Tis the Season
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Where does Saha come onto the pitch for the start of the game with a Red Bull. Such a T1T

  13. Silecro
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Have Mitro and Dasilva here. 1:1 with Mitro g and Dasilva A not too much to ask?

  14. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Didn’t watch the game but that’s a big Kane fail

  15. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Fulham goal. Raya cs wiped

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      That fast! Haven't settled my tele yet!

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Well at least I can start with below-par expectations, my only player in the 3PM kickoffs too!

  16. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Raya cleanie gone

    1. Jock Grealish

  18. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    No assist

  19. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Trying to not think about the 12 points I'm not getting from taking Perisic out after advocating for him constantly from the start of the season 🙂 Nah it didn't make sense to have him as a whole I think I'll return those points, just typical for him to prove me right after I transfer him out on WC.

    1. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      It's a tough blow at the start of the GW. He may be frustrating to own this season. But his haul potential may obviously be worth it at his price.

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Oh I think he's a fantastic player and signing and I think that if he does get back to match fitness it's no question he's nailed.

  20. thegaffer82
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Fulham did in 1 minute what United couldn’t do in 90. Score a goal.
    Liverpool game is going to be a bloodbath 🙁
