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.

    Perisic to Walker backfired big time so far. Would none the less still be worried about his minutes going forward

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Has Walker played??

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He is looking like such a maverick pick though. Even with some rotation risk he is still a great option.

  2. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Toney needs to pick up some BAPS to steal all 3 from Andreas

    1. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Look

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        at me mummy

      2. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Way past looking now

        Just envy 😛

  3. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Pickford and Bailey on my bench this week. Last week it was Trippier and Neco 😆

  4. YoungPretender
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Coming to terms with the my terrible decision to back the Leicester goalkeepers. Those who did the same… are you going to ride it out until the 1st WC? I have 2FTs and tempted to do Trippier and Iversen > Saliba & Sanchez.

    1. Miniboss
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I feel you. Transfering Ederson in for Iversen on gw4, I want to have those CS finally.

    2. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Did Saliba & Raya last week,

    3. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Absolutely ride it out. It's 0% of my budget. Not gonna waste a transfer or two to increase the budget allocation infinitely to get another player who could do just as poorly as Ward going forward. Knowing that he got no CSs in 3, I would go back in time and bet on someone else, but not knowing that, I would still go for the same strat and maybe will again on a WC (or just Ward)

    4. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Have 2 FT.. could do Ward to Sanchez next week. But only if there's literally nothing else I want to do.

  5. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Toney stealing my Andreas Baps.

  6. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    My two bench players are going to outscore my starting 11 combined, aren't they?

  7. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Come on Toney! Hold Neco!

  8. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Dwight McNeil is awful!

  9. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Any chance Walker gets benched? Looking for a Perreira jam

    1. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      You don't deserve his points of you benched.

    2. Puntillimon
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I hope not. He’ll come on as sub if he is benched

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Also Walker min six points..

  10. DandyDon
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Leighton Clarkson looking a prospect, on loan to Aberdeen from Liverpool. Curled in a 30 yard freekick following a screamer off the bench last week. We only signed him last week! In comparison James Maddison when on loan to us at the same age did also score a freekick over his half season (against Rangers no less) but often found himself on the bench.

  11. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Neco baps?

  12. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Jesus was the captain pick last week. This week not so sure... captain poll lagging behind.

  13. Puntillimon
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago
