Arsenal entertain Fulham in the seventh and final Premier League match of the day, with kick-off at the Emirates at 17:30 BST.

Mikel Arteta has made his first two starting XI changes of the season and they’re both enforced due to injury.

Oleksandr Zinchenko and Thomas Partey both reportedly picked up problems in Friday’s final pre-match training session, so are replaced by Kieran Tierney and Mohamed Elneny in the Gunners’ line-up.

The injury to Zinchenko, the fourth most-owned defender in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), doesn’t sound too serious, at least:

“Oleksandr Zinchenko is left out as a precaution due to a slight sprain to the left knee. Thomas Partey misses out due to a tight right thigh from Friday’s training session. Both will continue to be assessed.” – Arsenal medical update

Marco Silva’s one and only change is also linked to fitness, as it involves a player coming back from the treatment table.

Neeskens Kebano is passed fit after recovering from a groin strain and replaces budget FPL forward Jay Stansfield out wide.

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, Tierney, White, Gabriel, Saka, Odegaard, Jesus, Martinelli, Saliba, Elneny, Xhaka.

    Canelo or Trent?

    1. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Have both, will keep both, unless there's a news around Cancelo

  2. Drexl Spivey
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Doesn't seem right Saka being on £30k/wk when Martinelli's on £90k (with only three months separating them).

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

      Yeah, boy deserves a lot more; have you seen the price of gruel these days?

  3. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    No doubt Salah will bang a hatty next week. It's how this game goes.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Almost certain 😉 could have got a brace first half

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Had great underlying data that game 😆

        Mad variance. Lots of unlikely goals scored.

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

    Come on captain Jesus!!!

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Ream will pocket him 😉

  5. SH1M1
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    If you feel bad about captaining Salah, tune into Mark's MOTD Challenge tonight, after his WC lol

  6. F4L
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Did Bernardo play ahead of KDB today?

    1. jack88
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years

      I'll pass

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

      I think he may quit FPL off the back of this one lol

    3. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      It's gonna be super entertaining

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

    Non Jesus owner. Sofa time.

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      yikes

  9. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    The Ward Iverson double up was a huge error

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Got Sanchez this GW, couldn't stand the 1 pointers.

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I had Sanchez all the way up til deadline day 1. So annoyed I switched

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I went the Leicester pair late on deadline day. Won't make that mistake again.

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yes.

      Having Mount too just adds to the injury.

      Saved up 2 FT so both of those jokers can go tonight.

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

        Who you getting? I'm thinking Sanchez and Sterling

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Trying to think who the next bandwagon might be as I reckon I’ve missed the Rodrigo one.

          I’ll probably do Iversen to Sanchez so Ward can stay on the bench for the rest of the season.

          That will leave me with £7.4m to replace Mount.

          If Zaha is going to be fit for Tuesday I’d go for him.

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

      Took out for Pope. Had enough of him and Leicester.

  10. El Libe
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I would really like to see Mitro or Andreas scoring today and no CS for Arsenal

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      will require a set piece, doubt Fulham's full backs will get the chance to push on and put crosses in for Mitro

      1. El Libe
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Then Mitro is going to score it from the penalty 🙂

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

      I think it'll happen, Arsenal were lucky to keep clean sheets against Palace and Bournemouth, Fulham will have a go

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

    What's everyone on so far with who left?

    1. Dynamic Duos

        1. Dreams
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Well. No point in crying over spilled milk I guess. Will have to back myself more and take the risks at some point.

    16. Scrumper

      87! Finally caught a break.

      Saka, Jesus, Marti to go. (Saka hattrick too much to ask?

  12. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I don’t know how Mark comes back mentally from today. Genuinely.

    Wildcarded after having no Salah all season.

    Gets rid of Diaz and Haaland.

    Brings in KdB + Salah(C).

    The swing is insane.

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

      Yeah, its called fpl. The most illogic game.

    2. MADCHESTER UTD
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Crikey! I knew he avoided salah as went for son instead but I didn’t know they were his changes. I thought his WC team on black box had no salah?

    3. Ajaxeeding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yup…I’m going to Start again next season.

    4. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      All luck, bad in this case for him.
      Could have easily been the other way round

  13. Taegugk Warrior
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Captained salah. But my biggest regret is giving mount one last chance for not ditching him to diaz.

  14. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    DAMN

    Went from Top 90k to 220k with 53 points.
    Thought I had a decent GW.

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

    Best captain choice so far. Haaland! (C)

  16. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    You guys holding onto Salah? If not, who will you bring in?

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

      Salah is an easy keep.

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

        😯

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Keeping for now, Mount and Iversen/Ward fires to put out first!

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      would only sell if he wasn't getting the chances, not if he got out of bed on the wrong side this morning

  17. dshv
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    1. Mount to Diaz
    2. Salah and Mount to Diaz and Kdb
    3. Mount and Archer to Gross/Harisson and Toney

    For sure mount will go just tell mw the right one

    1. jack88
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      1

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If you think KDB hauls vs Forrest.

    3. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      1

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

      What's wrong with Mount?

  18. afsr
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    What to do here with 2 FT?

    Sanchez
    TAA, Cancelo, James, Perisic
    Salah, Diaz, Martinelli, Gross
    Haaland, Jesus
    Ward, Andreas, Neco, Archer
    0.3 ITB, 2FT

    1. afsr
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Having a good GW, although have just 3 players left now (Jesus, Marti and Perisic) so rank will surely go down from the current peak.
      Had a thought about capping Diaz instead of Salah, but was never close to actually changing captaincy, Salah was so obvious today

  19. Ajaxeeding
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Just to start the Rough…down 26 as I gave up on My double LIV defense on my drunken wild card…

  20. Dat Guy Welbz
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Just come in and seen the scores. Haven’t looked at my FPL team yet. Can’t wait to see how many points Mo Salah (C) has got me!!!

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Your comment history disagrees.

      1. Dat Guy Welbz
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Looks like someone has hacked my account

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I'll get Geoff to close it.

  21. No_Mo_Salah?
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Did Salah play?

  22. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Mount > Gundogan

    Probably my only move.

    Raya
    James Saliba Collins
    KdB(C) Sterling Diaz Gundogan Martinelli
    Haaland Jesus

    Ward Patterson Archer Neco

  23. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Not to bothered about the Salah blank..I am bothered about Cancelo though. Paying a premium here and seeing no attacking threat and city conceding every game is a bit annoying. With 2 free transfers and if zaha is out for some time I'll be swapping out for 6.0 defender + diaz

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

      I think Cancelo is a keep for now. City conceded 2 set pieces, otherwise there was 0 threat from Palace in a 90 min game.

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      depends if pep ditches the inverted full backs

    3. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I've been saying this about Cancelo for ages but as a owner it seems wrong moving him on before forest. Just think of all those that removed Trent or robbo before Bournemouth

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Feels a waste to throw away a transfer though.. may just get robbo in for him. At least with Robertson the attacking that is always there to see

  24. Trust the process
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    4.7mil overall, yikes

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Been a tough start to the season

  25. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Bailey to Gross today? Will be priced out tomorrow

  26. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Work colleague that knows not a great deal about footy (big rugby fan) has captained Trent and is on for a ton on a Saturday.

  27. Taegugk Warrior

  28. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    That must be a world record surely

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

      Remember Spurs won 9-1 with Defoe scoring 4/5 goals. But yeah its close.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I mean in terms of a main player (Salah) not being involved in any

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

          Yeah, but it happens to the best as well. Think he will bounce back soon.

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Hopefully, I remember it happened some years ago to me when I had Firmino and Liverpool scored 5-6 and he did nothing.
            So annoying

    2. mcpoop
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      salah has the record with 29 points excluding dgwks, 4 goals and an assist against watford in 17/18.

  29. Ahmed Adam
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    is salah worth 13M ?

    1. mcpoop
      • 13 Years

      yep
