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.

    2/11 played, 12 points. I'll happily take that.

    1. RICICLE
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month 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
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

  8. Casualspotted

    1. RICICLE
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Absolutely ridiculous system

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

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

    3. Maddamotha
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

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

  9. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    8 from 1 doesn't seem too bad.

    Andreas the hero!

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

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

  10. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

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

    16 on the bench 🙁

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Ah yes, a fellow wounded animal!

  11. Zalk
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

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

  12. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month 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
    • 17 Years
    4 years, 1 month 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
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month 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
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month 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
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

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

  15. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

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

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

      He's a big fan of Salah.

    2. ZeBestee
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Invisible.

  16. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    13 goals in 5 games

    1. Randaxus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I counted wrong it is 14 lol

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        15

        lol

  17. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. F_Ivanovic
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      3-2 Bournmouth win + Saka brace.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        1-4 Arsenal win?

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

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

  18. banskt
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Perhaps Everton out of those 4

  19. ZeBestee
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah me too, but that was the plan always

      1. ZeBestee
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, Bailey starting was not a nice sight though.

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

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

          1. ZeBestee
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

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

  20. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Can’t stand Ward anymore

    2. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      y

    3. MrZ
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

  21. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month 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
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Why the bird noise at the end?

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Lmao

      2. NotNowKato
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Actually snorted at that. Well done.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Oof! Shocking.

    3. ZeBestee
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, i am correcting that mistake this coming gw.

    4. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      His positioning is terrible

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Does xGC take into account GK position or not?

    5. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      How’s that even possible without own goals

    6. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month 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
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      629k > 2m 🙁

  22. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

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

  23. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

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

    Robbo you are next on Monday

  24. Sun Jihai

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

    1. ZeBestee
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

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

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, time to revoke it. Selling Iversen myself

    3. Hazz

      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      1,305,997 > 2,486,770

      Two crappest players though.

      1. Josh.E
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        1.9m to 3m smh

    4. fantasyfog

      My heart goes out to you, you poor poor man

  25. boc610 (114 out of 115 aint…
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

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

  26. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Can you wait till GW8 to get Mitro?

    1. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month 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
      4 years, 1 month ago

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

  27. jonny77
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. ZeBestee
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. jonny77
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

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

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

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

    3. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month 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.

  28. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'm a neutral on this matter

    2. Dr. Rog
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

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

    3. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Toney indeed

  29. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Toney/Mitro and Zaha the new glue guys ?

    1. Dr. Rog
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Zaha is always good but a frustrating own

    2. camarozz
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Will all blank as soon as u get them.

  30. The Philosopher
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month 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
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Depends on stuff. Keeping personally due to my own stuff

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      That's both a yes and a no.
