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.


GAMEWEEK 4 LINE-UPS

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

      The GW isn't over.

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years

        Only Jesus can hurt but should be minimal damage

          Trippier, Perisic etc.

            3 years, 8 months ago

            i.e could easily be over 1m.

        Doesn't stop you from spamming lms safety scores

      Very nice.

      Obviously capped Haaland?

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years

        I wish

        Salah (c)

    3. Nightcrawler

      Don't remember u being 5.9m at all! Maybe u just didn't post that week

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years

        I did a lot infact

    4. FOO FIGHTER

      Is the team you have linked different?

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years

        Nope

        Team is linked

    5. Powers106
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Similar to me like 5 million to currently 750k but GW is not over and c fail so a green arrow is fine

    6. GENERATION X

      Mummys proud again

  2. T C
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Those who are selling Salah, I'd wait until Son plays tomorrow. As a Spurs fan I've been unimpressed with his performances so far, but I know it'll only take one goal to turn him around and the team are looking good this season.

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

      if only Richarlison wasn't there

      1. T C
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Richarlison won't start over him.

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

      Spurs are looking good? Are you joking?

      1. T C
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Are you? Top 3 this season, mark my words.

    Rashford vs leicester looks tempting

      Nah

    2. pundit of punts

      Nah

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

      Watched first half, was no where to be see. Think Bruno will slowly start doing well as long as Cr7 stays on the bench.

  4. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    What the hell do I even do here with 2 free transfers?

    Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo James Cucurella
    KDB Diaz Martinelli
    Haaland Jesus Tony

    Ward DaSilva Neco Andreas

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

    Cannot understand how with 9 goals and playing the full game Salah got nothing... can't wait to see the highlights!

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

      Heard he missed to one of one's. All wk without him on my WC and the fear made me bring him back. Altho my alternative Kdb didn't do a whole lot either.

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Would love to see my ML scores, but POS site keeps crashing

    2. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      horror show for Salah captainers .. Firmino goes wild 1 time a season and it's done

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

      On another he would have had a hat trick, he had his worse miss of his career in the first half

      Maybe that hat trick comes against Newcastle

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

      Bournemouth totally and utterly nullified him; they just didn't bother with what the other 10 players got up to though.

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

        Ha interesting. Oh well.... I maintain he was the right captain for this gwk. Sometimes lady luck isn't with you...

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

    Thought I was doing okay with my score today until I saw leader of my ML.

    Haaland capt and firmino lol. And no Salah.

  7. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Capped Salah, no Trent or Robbo, no Diaz, KDB blank, Cancelo shocker. Have Haaland though. Definitely not looking at my score/rank this GW, as I might just quit the game if I do.

  8. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Need to get rid of Mount, have up to 8.6 to spend, Rodrigo is tempting but could go for a City mid, who would be the best one to aim for?

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

      I’m going for Gundogan probably

  9. waltzingmatildas
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Mount replacement?
    A) Gundo
    B) Dia

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      *Diaz

      1. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Diaz

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

      Think Diaz coz of Pep roullete.

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

    Can you imagine someone who has tripled captained salah, is asleep, then sees the score when he wakes up! He’s gonna think mega haul! It’s gutting for all salah captainers but some it will hurt more than others. I still maintain it was a good decision to captain him. Just crazy they scored 9 with no return. Had the same thing with Havertz 7-0 Norwich last season

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

      Captaining Salah wasn’t a bad choice, just unlucky.

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

      TC Salah is the most brutal possible scenario and I actually feel for those people. You can't do anything about it though. The highs and lows of this game are insane.

    Haaland Jesus

    Ward, Andrea, DaSilva, Archer

    2FT, 0.2m iTB

    The plan was Robbo & DaSilva to Cucurella & Rodrigo. Still good moves ?

    1. The Mighty Whites
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Not sure about double Chelsea, personally

    2. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      You have four good enough defenders and a GK without doubling up on a top 5 team. You will probably be subbing one regularly. I would play that back four every GW as they all score assists an BPS. Have a 5th defender who plays every week around 4.5.

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

    Is Rodrigo still in form or how does that work now?

    1. The Mighty Whites
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Tough game today

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He was playing the best defence in world football tbf.

    3. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think so. He won't come up against another team that an opposing team hasn't scored against again this season.

    4. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Brighton away is always graft.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        they are more tricky on the road, Brighton better away.

  13. The Mighty Whites
    • 11 Years

    1FT, 0.6 ITB, thoughts?

    Sanchez - Ward
    TAA - Cancelo - Robertson - James - N. Williams
    Salah - Martinelli - Rodrigo - Aaronson - Andreas
    Haaland - Jesus - Greenwood

  15. Magic Zico

    Lose one Robbo or Cancelo? To enable Dasilva > Gross or Rodrigo

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

      Robbo this GW

  16. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Firmino an option to bring in or just a one off good day?

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

      BOU so this was his day

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

      He's an option but we don't know for how long. Liverpool will have plenty of games and Klopp will rotate.

  17. Gunners in Haaland
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Keep Mount or sell?

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years

      Sell

    2. Dat Guy Welbz

      He has to go blud

    3. F4L

      sell

    4. Scots Gooner

      Sell 3 weeks ago

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

    jesus christ KDB's stats for today are grim, better not be benched vs Forest

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

      Gundo perfect replacement.

      Pep himself could do a job vs Forest.

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

        yep, 2 big CL games coming up, 2 potentially tough away days and Spurs.

        a rest wouldn't surprise me, just don't know if Pep would rotate both KDB and Haaland for the same game

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

        Bernardo was so good today. Gundo will get his minutes shared as long as they keep Bernardo.

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

      Palace were defending in blocks. Understandable. He was so good again.

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

        makes sense just frustrating, needed a Kevin worldie today from 25 yards

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

          Yeah but having watched the game, he is incredible, him and Bernardo.

  20. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I don’t think I’ve seen anything as crazy and disappointing as a 9-0 win and the main attacking player and (c) has no involvement. Just madness.

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years

      Yeah it's just one of those weird days!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          Yes, maybe. Assist last week but tough fixtures and unreliable minutes. Still doesn’t look like WC case

    2. Rash
      • 8 Years

      A hit or 2 can sort that team out

  22. House Frey Wedding Planner

    1. The Ilfordian

      Madness!

    2. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Probably not a good decision, but being a Salah capper, I can understand them.

    3. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Even though I do not own him, nowhere near affording him, individually it is a daft decision.

      However 17.5 million on Salah and Pereira /DaSilva will almost certainly have a better scoring pair by the end of the season.

      Finding them is harder.

  23. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years

    Worth a -4?

    Iversen and Gabi to Sanchez and Saliba?

  24. La Roja

    Tough transfer decision for me this gw

    Will being one in of these 3

    Rodrigo
    Gross
    Trossard

    Which one?

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

        Think it's flip of a coin between gross and rodrigo....

        Rodrigo had 2 home games in next 3 - and feel Leeds score more

        But in same quandary and really donu knowb

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

      None

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years

      How long can Gross keep his form?

      1. Mona Lisa
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        So long he keeps that attacking position.

  30. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Should this be the end of the cancelo / dias double city defence?

    More than likely they keep clean sheet v forest - and that will be 3 out of 5 games....

    But could downgrade and upgrade a 4.5m mid to gross / rodrigo...

    1. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'm on Cancelo/Walker. I'll give them the Forest game but as soon as that's done I'm getting rid of Walker
