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.

Subs: Rodak, Mbabu, Duffy, Diop, Chalobah, Cairney, Francois, Harris, Stansfield.

    Non-Haaland owners - are you buying him now? Either dropping Salah or Son depending on how tomorrow goes

      Probably need to wait for Pep to troll us in the presser.

    2. FOO FIGHTER

      Pep troll will come

    3. FOO FIGHTER

      I am srill going ahead with my plan without Haaland.

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

      Forest is the ideal game to rest him looking at the schedule

    2FT 0 mib...Exact money to bring in Gross (going up tonight) for Bailey
    Walker or Cucurella out for Neco...worth it?

    Ramsdate - Begovic
    TAA - Cucurella - James - Cancelo - Walker
    Salah - Diaz - Martinelli
    Haaland - Jesus
    Bench: Andreas - Bailey -Archer

    1. Botman and Robben

        Thanks BR...who would you let go...Walker or Cucurella?

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

      Definitely.

      Walker better to go.

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

    Robertson -> Diaz looks like a no brainer, right? The question is to wildcard or take a hit?

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

      Disagree. I think Robbo is better value long-term, maybe even outscoring Diaz.

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

        Probably, just dont like the Liverpool double up in defence atm. Was just holding Robbo until today? Still couldnt afford Diaz now anyway unless he goes to a 4.0.

        Thinking off Robbo to Dunk and Bailey to Zaha?

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

      No

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Robbo is a keeper for me.

  5. dshv

    2FT 1.5 itb

    1. Mount to Diaz
    2. Salah and Mount to Diaz and Kdb

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

        Almost delete the game!

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

      Hmm 1 or 3

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

    I've had Trossard since GW1. Mixed feelings tho. 14 points from last 2 GWs but Gross is the one to own. Is it worth the sideways move?

    1. Del Griffith
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      if you can spare the transfer maybe it is

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

        I've got 2 FT so maybe it makes sense

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

    Mount to Diaz feels fairly obvious. However, with Darwin back after this week, which would you go for?
    A) Gundo
    B) Diaz
    C) Groß (upgrade 3rd fwd to Darwin when back)

  8. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Does Diaz cover Salah for £5 mill less ?

    1. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Or to put it another way, does Salah cover Diaz for 5 million less?

      1. Not again Shirley
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        More.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      Sometimes.

  9. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years

    Watch out for your friends, but especially those who capped Salah today.

  10. mojoindojo
    • 12 Years

    Maddison to Diaz?

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years

      Move that I gladly made this morning

    2FT and 0.5ITB.

    How to use 1FT here?

    Sanchez
    TAA Cancelo James
    Salah Diaz Martinelli Rodrigo Andreas
    Haaland Jesus

    Ward Trippier N.Williams Archer

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I would be tempted to do Salah to Sterling and Williams to Robertson.

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Interesting...

        1. Botman and Robben
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          But can't have 4 LIV

          1. FC Hakkebøf
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            You would only have three in that scenario

            1. Botman and Robben
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              My bad, yes.

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

      Nothing really to do BR. Not without the sale of a main player. We are both missing Perisic but then he could be on the bench in the next couple of weeks.

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

    Shame the ref bottled it today when Emerson rolled the ball to the floor and Eduoard passed to Ayew who scored a perfectly good goal.

    I wonder in the future how Perisic and Haaland would be rotated?

    Both have easy CL ties?

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

      Man City didnt have to much bench cover today?

  15. Sim Simma

    Xhaka sitter

    1. The Reptile
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Spelling error?

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

      Torres Magic edges it with the better line

  16. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    All we need is Kane and Son to go points crazy and this place will go in to melt down 🙂

  17. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years

    Xhaka shocker.

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

      Big miss

    2. Berkshire Hafaway-Line

      Say that five times fast

  18. The Reptile
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I have Salah and Son {Martinelli, Rodrigo, Andrea's} bleeding my team dry and 2ft - should I sell both?

    1. 50ShadesOfGray
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I will be. Join me

    2. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Depends on who you bring in and how annoyed you will be if both/either haul shortly after selling.

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

    Anyone that watched the match can you tell me who looked the bigger threat between James and Cucurella?

    I own both, one of them needs to go

    1. Game...Blouses
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      James was far more dangerous. Had a shot hit the post too

  20. Sparkys Barmy Army
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Salah + Aaronson > Sterling + Dias?

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Keep Salah

  21. Totalfootball
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Zaha to diaz Or hold vs brentford?

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

      Hold

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I would do it in an instant

  22. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Best combimation?
    A) Salah + Cancelo + Cucurella
    B) KDB + Diaz + Cucurella
    C) Kane + Diaz + Cucurella
    D) Sterling + Diaz + Cancelo

    Leaning towards C and D.

  23. Royal5

    That pass from Odegaard

  25. Red Red Robins
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Bored at work on Friday so did a play about with tfrs - thought wildcard in 2 weeks, drop Robertson and Haaland to get Nunez upfront and money to upgrade midfield

    Well, guess thats no cherio

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Heh, I mocked up a wildcard lest my double/double Liverpool/Chelsea defence let me down. That's one trigger I won't be pulling.

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

    Looks like another Arsenal clean sheet.

    1. Red Red Robins
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I hope

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

      C'mon TM, you know that's not how football works.

      Could easily be a Fulham set piece goal in the 93rd minute against the run of play.

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

      Sold Rams for Sanchez. Arsenal conceding would be too good.

  27. andrinho
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Transfer in:
    a) Rodrigo
    or
    b) Gros

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

      A still

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

      A as a Gross owner.

  28. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Can you see top 10k and local players' first on bench ownership? Wondering what players are coming in for 30% EO Zinchenko for example?

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

      In LiveFPL or elsewhere

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

    @Foo no clue Fighter, are you happy you started DaSilva over Saliba and how's is Mitrovic's xG looking?

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

      it's okay.

      He took a hit to bench Saliba.

      forward planning... taps head.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Hope everyone followed his advice to ditch Haaland, just like you all followed him to lose Jesus in GW2 😉

  30. Red Red Robins
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Last chance for Saka today, needs a haul

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

      He's looked a bit better so far. A bit more central to the play. Not sitting wide and deeper much so far. Only the points at the end matter though...

      1. Red Red Robins
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        True, im hoping hes let loose more when Tomy goes right back
