Arsenal v Fulham team news: Zinchenko out injured

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.

    Tried to be smart with KDB over Haaland for captaincy 🙁 although if I now switch to Haaland for midweek KDB will outscore him no doubt lol

      I think the community as a whole has generally become far far better at making decisions. They use models and stats distributed by the influencers. It's an efficient system.

      But It's a depressing reality for the old school players. It's become more mathematical and probability based. I think Mark and many others would rather play the old way and do badly, than play like a machine. The game has more meaning that way.

      I must admit, I do find myself falling out of love with the game every year. It's becoming more pointless as everyone is just playing the percentages. It's become too well refined.

        but with 9.67 million players most have never been near these pages or Twitter or a solver.

        So if the template crowd was even 40% (which it isn't) there's still 5 million players playing their own game.

        So 2 million people can pick Jesus through independent thought.

    Did people here think EDH would hit the ground running quite so quickly?

      Yeah him and Robbo are candidates to be swapped ... Cancelo (NFO) is probably final chance. Money needed for midfield Gross Rodrigo and the like ...

        Think may go ederson or Dias on w/c to cover city defence, save funds for third striker

      Cannot transfer Cancelo before NFO but I have said every gw that Cancelo is not the same attacking wise this season. Of course on top of that City has started to concede. 😀

      If he gets assist or goals next game I might keep him but otherwise he is gone.
