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.

      1. Rash
        • 8 Years

        Trippier plays Liverpool next

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

          Not as bad a fixture as it seems imo given Newcastle’s game against City and Liverpool’s form (Bournemouth excepting)

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

            With city having forrest at home it seems on the paper the wrong week to do it imo

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

              That’s fair

      Looks a big upgrade.

  5. Old Bull
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Captain choices becoming the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. With that YC Jesus is the Ugly.

  6. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Jesus owner (non-captain), that YC hardly changes anything..

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

      Will help Salah (c) feel better if Jesus just gets 1 points here

    2. One for All
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Dumb question but shouldn't yellow card be -1 for captain?

      1. tbos83
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Very dumb. You can't double 0

    What has the ref done wrong so far, Arsenal fans?

    1. Random Name
      • 10 Years

      you watching the game or no?

      1. The Mentaculus

        3 years, 8 months ago

        Lol. Pi**ed he prempted your moan just below?

    2. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Not an Arsenal fan but he’s been pretty bad

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

        Fair, always good to get a neutral perspective.

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

          Cheers mate, you know I’m always good for that

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

      not giving them a fk everytime one of their players gets a little touch on the shoulder

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

        Lol

  8. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I have Saliba as a differential and he has 3 bps on live fpl, hope he keeps it haha

  9. Random Name
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Same inept ref that refereed newcastle vs City. It's only taken 2 games to realise how useless this aussie is - get him out

    1. Santi sensei
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He didnt need to get a card out for Jesus and Palinha.

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

    What was Jesus EO?

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

      Beyond 100%

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

        Sheesh, so I don't even want him to haul...

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

          Unless captaining no

  11. Londongeezaa
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Jesus feeling the ownership pressure 🙂

  12. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    A good way to know if you should own a player is if you are scared of not owning them.

    1. Randaxus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      The other week I was scared of not having Diaz so I transferred Saka to Diaz, see what happens when you follow your fear.

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

      I'm scared of not owning every player who is going to score points. How do I solve this?

      1. Randaxus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        If if you write down all the players who are scared of scoring points the most, that will result in writing down the template, this is why it is the template.

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

    Gundogan safe pick for midweek?

    1. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Never know with pep but I’d say yes since he was benched this game

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

      Should be but Pep is Pep...

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

      The theory is KDB rested and Gundo to start, but don't try Pep

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

      if Bernie gets put back to RW, yeah; with Mahrez form likely it could happen

  14. mr messi
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Would you downgrade Cancelo to get Toney in for Archer? Thinking of Saliba or Veltman/Dunk.

    Team is

    Sanchez
    TAA James Trippier Neco Cancelo
    Salah Martinelli Rodrigo Diaz Dasilva
    Haaland Jesus Archer

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Salah 57k transfers out so far

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

      Going to enjoy the haul v Newcastle

  16. They are eating the dogs
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    When choosing between Mohamed or Jesus you should always pick the pagan nordic god Erling.

    1. Freshy

      • 15 Years

  18. Salarrivederci
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Just Dasilva -> Groß for free?
    1.6 ITB & 1FT
    Would give me:

    Sanchez
    TAA - Cancelo - Robertson - James
    Salah - Ødegaard - Martinelli - Groß
    Haaland (C) - Jesus

    (Ward, Andreas, Neco, Archer)

  19. BeWater
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Best part about owning Mount is you don't have to worry about burning a transfer.

  20. One for All
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Mendy
    White, Taa, Walker, Cucurella
    Andreas, Martinelli, Salah, Son
    Jesus, Haaland

    Forster, Trippier, Greenwood, Murphy

    2 FT 0.0 ITB

    A) Mendy>Sanchez, Son>Kdb
    B) Son>Harrinson, Greenwood> Toney
    C) Son> Diaz, Greenwood> Toney

    Any suggestions please?

    1. mr messi
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I like C

      1. One for All
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Cool thank you

  21. Kane Train
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC team?

    Ederson
    James / TAA / Walker / Cucurella
    Rodrigo / Salah / Diaz
    Haaland / Toney / Jesus

    Bench: Ward, Andreas , DaSilva, Neco

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

      Ederson isn't worth .9 over Sanchez, just bank and keep for the future when you'll need it. Could even get you Gross over Walker now

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Im getting Walker out - Saliba instead

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

    What to do here? Got 2FTs.

    Ramsdale
    TAA / Cancelo / Walker / James / Cucu
    Salah / Martinelli / Gross / Andreas / Da Silva
    Haaland / Jesus / Toney

    Thinking Ramsdale to Sanchez? Possibly Walker to Fofana, although he’d be benched this week for Gross (I’ve benched him the last two weeks. Ugh.)

  23. InsertPunHere
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Btw, any word on how Foo Fighter’s handling the Haaland hat-trick?

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

      No but I’ve seen enough of Foo Fighter to know he will still be telling everyone’s he’s a Norwegian flagpole. A hat-trick will not deter him

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

        Will be telling the same after Haaland buries his 45th goal of the season in March.

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

          Lol, yep. Just a big cumbersome number 9

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

    Haaland not expected to start next match, right?

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

      Like Robbo was not expected to start today?

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

        No link with Robertson

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      No way of knowing.

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

        I think read earlier somewhere about pep comments about two games in a week

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

      no worries, another 20 minute hat trick off the bench

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

        Yes, that's always on the cards 😀
        Thinking of switching back to Kane if there's a slight hint of Haaland being benched

  25. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Early thought is Cancelo to Dunk and Neto to Gundogan- what are thoughts on these transfers using 2 frees- would give

    Ramsdale
    TAA James Dunk* Perisic
    Salah L Díaz Gundogan* Martinelli
    Haaland Jesus

    Ward Andreas Neco Archer

    1. jammie26
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Cancelo inured? How bad?

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

      Wait till Neto plays, Wolves have Bournmouth next and a Neto goal tomorrow would be a stick for me

  26. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Ward to

    A. Raya
    B. Sanchez

    There's no denying Brighton's form, but Raya is making 4-6 saves a match. Higher ceiling. Thoughts?

    Thanks.

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

      Sanchez with 2 bonus today even though he did not reach a single save point.

      Easy Sanchez for me.

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers.

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

      Because of a weaker backline.

      Sanchez!

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers.

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

    I was thinking of Mount to Diaz (exact cash).
    But have second thoughts of getting Gross and keeping spare cash..

    A) Diaz
    B) Gross and use spare cash to upgrade andreas or archer?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

    2. citizenkane
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A as a Gross owner

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

    My good friend Nikola Vasic scored a nice penalty for Brommapojkarna today. Just wanted to share it.

      Good for him!

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

      Should've capped your friend instead of Salah ffs

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Wow from West Ham to Torino to 2nd tier Swedish football all in a few weeks

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

      Nice one!

  29. Ballzit
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Diaz and Periera in for Gundogan and KDH, -4?

    Price rise tonight on Diaz, won’t know how to get him in otherwise, except selling Salah

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      No. Keep City players.

  30. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I'm never gonna make a useful transfer I think. Been making luxury ones every week. Should I shift out Salah for a week to KDB just to avoid the price drops? He even has the better fixture.
