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.

    Got neco and ward playing. Would shake hands on one sheet out of them !

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Urgh just saw Neco on a yellow …..

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        He's also had the best shot of the game but Everton much better overall.

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Think it's 3 points between em.

  2. GoonerGirl
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Don't you just hate it when players you almost bought but decided against get returns. Part of the game I guess but annoying. Just have to hope the players I did bring in get something. Need Gross to do something.

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

      Every week!

  3. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I wonder who Tielemans is joining? Been left out so something is happening.

    Be surprised if he goes to Arsenal.

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Wouldn’t shock me if Liverpool swooped

    2. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Too good for Arsenal imo. Could see him at Utd

      1. Fish up a tree
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        You can have him as he wouldn’t make our bench

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Correct, starting 11 is not the bench

          • EL TANO
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            With you on that sentiment, Fish

      2. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I hope he goes. He's dialled out for us.

      3. Bushwhacker
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Perfect Xhaka replacement

    3. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      So is Henderson just the best keeper now? Save monster. Will get 5+ in hard fixtures and rack up cleans Vs poor teams. NFO allow potshots which is very Burnley-esque.

      1. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        If you have Neco its hard to double up imo

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Always was, couldn't believe we kept the clown de gea

        • Rainer
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Was thinking the exact same watching that 1st half.

          They might concede 1BC a game and if he saves it, he'll haul due to being good at saving shots from distance. Good for passing BPS too!

          1. Over Midwicket
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Yes. Between and Ramsdale until 1st WC. Don't have Neco or any Arse Def.

      3. thegaffer82
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Bit early to start counting those Andreas bonus points isn’t it?

        1. Smoky Johnson
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Yepp

      4. Emiliano Sala
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Brentford can’t attack
        May swap toney to welbeck

        1. thegaffer82
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          They just beat United 4-0 🙂

          1. Santi sensei
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Its United

            1. Santi sensei
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              I mean they are not playing them every week

        2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I went for Welbeck over Toney as I felt they'd have a tougher time in the next few with their next few games likely being tighter. The goals against ManUtd won't happen against many teams

          1. Emiliano Sala
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah welbeck is a better option. Hope he blanks this gw tho 😀
            To reduce the pain

      5. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        My honey isn't dissolving in my cold coffee. Obvious in hindsight but not sure of my next move. The honey, however, is doing a good job of collecting the coffee grind I accidentally added to the drink to the bottom of the mug, so there's that. Maybe just lightly stir in some vanilla extract? Or maybe Agave syrop will behave differently to the honey?

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

          It looks like your honey is fake. 😛

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Makes sense as I harvested from artificial bees

        2. Sim Simma
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Honey, I shrunk the kids

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

          Expected honey dissolvement?

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Average honey dissolves quicker than this so I should expect this honey, which dissolves slower, to dissolve at the rate of the average honey?

            1. AC/DC AFC
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Does that depend on the mean of the Xdisolution rate?

              1. Deulofail
                • 10 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                XD

      6. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Anyone check in on Foo Fighter? Transferred out Jesus for the second coming of the lord (Nunez) last week and now his nemesis Bailey along with Pereira have returns

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Looking forward to his posts.

        2. GENERATION X
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Looking through his tea leaves probably

        3. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          He is working on a new way to confuse me

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

            Won’t take much !

        4. Khark
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          The Jesus out after 1 gameweek will never not be funny only to transfer back in for gameweek 3 after a 19pointer. Embarrassing

        5. Fish up a tree
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          He's gone to ground

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            coffee?

            1. Fish up a tree
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Prefer tea thanks

              1. Deulofail
                • 10 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                FISH UP FOR TEA

              2. Old Man
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                Good man - none of this coffee rubbish. Except occasionally.

                1. Deulofail
                  • 10 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  Such an old man thing to say

          2. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Genuinely hope he's okay

            Perhaps if he said it once a day rather than on every page?

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

        Have Dasilva buyers bought Jensen yet?

        If not, why not?

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

          They are now getting Norgaard.

          1. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            All aboard the gw4 train?

        2. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Dasilva just needs 1 shot. 100% conversion rate so far.

        3. GENERATION X
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          People were slagging him based on previous seasons without any reference to the fact hes now playing further up and now on loads of set pieces.

        4. Bushwhacker
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Damsgaard from next week.

      8. Azathoth
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Lloris kept his 121st Premier League clean sheet; the fifth-most of any keeper for a single club after Petr Cech for Chelsea (162), David Seaman for Arsenal (137), Pepe Reina for Liverpool (134) and David de Gea for Manchester United (130).

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Should overtake DDG this season.

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

          He has been at Spurs for quite a no. of years.

          Just saw that the assister for the first Fulham goal is 4.5m FWD Stansfield.

          For the template managers I guess you have your move... Greenwood > Stansfield and roll the 2nd FT xD

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

            You know thats a boring move that many people wont do it. 😀

          2. Deulofail
            • 10 Years

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

              You also won't start him in every gameweek ffs.

            I tend to play very controversially but even I’m tempted by that one.
