Gameweek 3 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues on Sunday with Leeds United v Chelsea and West Ham United v Brighton and Hove Albion.

Both matches kick-off at 14:00 BST.

Thomas Tuchel makes one change from last weeks 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur, as Conor Gallagher comes into midfield for N’Golo Kante, who misses out as expected with a hamstring injury.

That suggests Reece James will once again feature as a right-sided centre-back, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Marc Cucurella preferred in the wing-back roles.

For the hosts, they also make one enforced change, as Patrick Bamford fails to make the starting XI after coming off injured in Gameweek 2.

Daniel James starts instead, with Rodrigo – the second-most bought player for Gameweek 3 – pushed forward in attack.

At the London Stadium, Thilo Kehrer makes his Premier League debut for West Ham with Ben Johnson dropping to the bench.

“He has good experience, is versatile and has played at a high level with Germany and PSG so he will bring a lot to us and we’re looking forward to working with him. He’s played predominately for the national team at left-back and centre-back for PSG last season, so we feel we have a really good acquisition for the squad. He will be able to add to us in a number of areas.” – West Ham assistant manager Billy McKinlay on Thilo Kehrer

The visitors, meanwhile, are unchanged after making an unbeaten start to the season, with Pascal Gross and Adam Lallana tucking in behind Danny Welbeck in Graham Potter’s 3-4-2-1 formation.

      3 years, 7 months ago

      First in 3 GWs I think? The pick I regret most... Had Maddison over him pre-season.

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

        Had a shot saved well against Everton

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      No cos he missed 2 last season

      1. Thanos
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Thought the popular opinion was that he was on pens

        1. Jock Grealish
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Nope.

  8. Rainer

  12. Puntillimon

    3 years, 7 months ago

    Such lazy defending from kehrer

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Probably why he went to WH from PSG.

  13. Drip Doctor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Another L for the Fantasy Football content creators. They just keep coming.

    1. Fish up a tree
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Gross misconduct

      1. Jock Grealish
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Gross points blank

    2. FPL DONKEY
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Not entirely true. Mark and Az on FPL Black Box said it might be Gros but probably Mac Allister

      1. Jock Grealish
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Macallister took their last one and scores. Gross missed his last one before that

  14. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Thought Groß was on pens

  15. Dat Guy Welbz
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    I’m class

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

    No pen yet on my stream. Mount taking a corner

  17. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Do something Mount!

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

    "Why is Groß not on penalties?" is going to become the new "Why is KDB not taking it?", isn't it?

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

      The budget version

  19. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    WGTA for Brighton G?

    1. Dat Guy Welbz
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Me

    2. 3 A
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Welbeck

    3. Johan Cryuff
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Welbeck

    4. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      ROFLMAO TTYL

  20. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Moyes's hoof ball tactics to that rugby player up front is catching up on him

    1. Dat Guy Welbz
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah, don’t see them in the top half the way they’re looking.

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

      So frustrating, he have players that can play ball and we're not. Why Antonio is starting over Scamacca is beyond me.

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

    You got to give credit to Brighton and the way they operate.
    No matter which (good) players they lose, they just keep producing the same product over the years...

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

      Because Potter is a wizard!

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Potter really is a good manager... Didn't really believe the hype before, but he has continued to show that he really is. Punching above their weight with that squad, thanks to him.

    3. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Potter is doing crazy good job there

  22. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Help us Obi Wan Nick Popey, you're our only hope.

  23. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Tough watch.
    Mount and Robertson to Toney and JWP for a hit. 11 points after hit so a mount haul here is inevitable haha

  24. Johan Cryuff
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Heart breaking Gross is not not Pens

    1. Johan Cryuff
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      On*

    2. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Never was this season

  25. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Guys bit lost what to do here. Was in a good place but dropped a good amount. 1M ITB and 2FT. Really like the look of Toney but not sure how to get him

    Ederson
    TAA Cancelo James Trippier Patterson
    Salah Diaz Martinelli Dasilva Andreas
    Haaland Jesus Archer

    A) Cancelo + Archer to Perisic + Toney for free?
    B) Patterson to Saliba/Cucurella and save FT
    C) Something else

  26. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Cucu getting a lot of the ball, James owner !

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

    Cucu a few misplaced passes

  28. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    How are Leeds looking?

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

      energetic

      1. Jock Grealish
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Lively

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

      Started better, Chelsea in control now. Both teams look dangerous on counters.

  29. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Tuchel better move Reece to rwb

    Not like this is working either

    1. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yea Leeds onto it, get 'em out there and mix it up after ht

  30. sirmorbach
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    West Ham look bad, think it's time for me to ditch my Bowen punt

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      They'll come good eventually. Prob euro league getting in the way

    2. Thanos
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yep, they aren't looking good.
