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.

      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Well you wouldn’t not take it would you? And even if you didn’t take I’d, you’d have to take it as you can’t give points back?

      1. RICICLE

  8. Casualspotted

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

      Absolutely ridiculous system

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It’s not ridiculous, have you watched the game ? He was the best player on the pitch

    3. Maddamotha
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I totally agree, been saying this for years. But I own Andreas so I dont care now! LOLZZZZ

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

    8 from 1 doesn't seem too bad.

    Andreas the hero!

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He was amazing, I watched the game . So proud to played him

      1. Casualspotted

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

    Only two players played & dropped 236%! Ward / Neco

    16 on the bench 🙁

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Ah yes, a fellow wounded animal!

  11. Zalk
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Haha, N.Forrest singing "sacked in the morning" and then losses 2p. Karma at its finest.

  12. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Know Zaha hoovered up the BAPS but Cheick Doucouré my man of the match, what a signing hes been so far.

  13. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I am considering spreading the cash out to Toney Mitro Zaha Darwin Mandy etc and having only one captain aka Salah or Haaland .

    Is this worthy of consideration?

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Definitely an option. But you’ll have bad weeks when the spread inevitably fails and the big hitters tou don’t have haul.

      Over 5-6 GWs it might be ok !

    2. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      But don’t most teams only have one or two captain choices in the likes of Haaland and Salah?

  14. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Neco over Andreas worked well! Bailey in the 11, some compensation.

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

    Mitro 14 BPS despite winning goal (+27 BPS) WTF...

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He's a big fan of Salah.

    2. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Invisible.

  16. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    13 goals in 5 games

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

      I counted wrong it is 14 lol

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

        15

        lol

  17. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    All I want from the half 5 game is a Bournemouth goal.

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

      3-2 Bournmouth win + Saka brace.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        1-4 Arsenal win?

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      This would help those not on Ramsdale and Arsenal defence massively.

  18. banskt
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Leicester, Everton, Villa, Manchester United --- big clubs in relegation battle this season?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Perhaps Everton out of those 4

  19. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Started Andreas over Bailey. Happy at last after that first assist from Bailey.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah me too, but that was the plan always

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

        Yeah, Bailey starting was not a nice sight though.

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          If he's your man and first on the bench you want him to be involved

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

            Yeah, but i think there is a very small chance any of my first 11 miss this gw.

  20. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Iversen to Henderson tonight before the price rise yes or no?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Can’t stand Ward anymore

    2. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      y

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

      Yes

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

    Danny Ward has conceded 8 goals from a xGc of 4.3 this season. By far the most poor keeper so far. (Bakar)

    😮

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

      Why the bird noise at the end?

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Lmao

        • NotNowKato
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Actually snorted at that. Well done.

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Oof! Shocking.

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

        Yeah, i am correcting that mistake this coming gw.

      4. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        His positioning is terrible

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

          Does xGC take into account GK position or not?

      5. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        How’s that even possible without own goals

      6. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        The stat man don't lie

        Some of them just get it wrong in the first place.

        That Ward Iversen double up was lovely to watch as the momentum builds and people follow.

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

        629k > 2m 🙁

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

      Quite an exciting Arsenal bench now with Tierney, Tomiyasu, Smith Rowe, Nketiah and Vieira!

    3. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Thank you Andreas and Perisic my heroes, my lovely heroes.

      Robbo you are next on Monday

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Jeez:
      Rank old 447k
      Rank new 1021k
      -129%
      Ward a horrific GK decision to start with!

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

        He is cheapiee, we expected a few CS, but not at this rate.

      2. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, time to revoke it. Selling Iversen myself

      3. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        1,305,997 > 2,486,770

        Two crappest players though.

        1. Josh.E
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          1.9m to 3m smh

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

        My heart goes out to you, you poor poor man

    5. boc610
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      People still don't get the bps system, Andreas bossed that pitch , had an assist.

    6. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Can you wait till GW8 to get Mitro?

      1. mixology
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        First thought is yes, due to fixtures.

        But at 6.6m, he may be worth it if shifting from an 8.0 mid

      2. Kane and Ablett
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Mitro only scores at home so you’ll only miss a couple of goals

    7. jonny77
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Eyeing up Mount > Zaha and Iverson > Sanchez to use up my FTs

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

        Mount has very nice fixtures. See first how many goals he scores against Leeds. 😛

        1. jonny77
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          If he blanks i think i have to ship him off, desperately need to sort out the keeper situation

      2. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I was Sanchez owner in the past and his upside is so low. Wasn’t happy as an owner

      3. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        In exactly the same position.

        But Zaha has Man City next weekend whilst Mount has Leicester. We know now that Ward is going to be completely useless in that game, but at least Mount might get some points against that woeful Leicester defence.

    8. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      For me it looks little bit more exciting to own Toney instead of Robbo. Agree or disagree?

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

        I'm a neutral on this matter

      2. Dr. Rog
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Nice to have a slot for a Toney/Mitro/Scama

      3. Maeki2
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Toney indeed

    9. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Toney/Mitro and Zaha the new glue guys ?

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Zaha is always good but a frustrating own

      2. camarozz
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Will all blank as soon as u get them.

    10. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Worth it to take a hit to remove Ward/Iverson or just take the binary scores and move on one more week?

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

        Depends on stuff. Keeping personally due to my own stuff

      2. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        That's both a yes and a no.
