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.

            • 11 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Tnks. Just walked in. The last time a read above it was Pool fixture.

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

    People who doubted TAA have learned their lesson.

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

      People sold him!

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

        300K people got a 17 point lesson.

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

      They will get him back for a -4 before Tuesday.

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

        He is 30% owned in the top 10K it is a crime I tell you.

    3. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I got lucky and captained him; simply because I had no Salah.

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

    Jesus captain here. Going really well.

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

      Should have went Salah

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

      Relax, he’ll get a goal

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

      Yeah this is why I was never going to gloat over Salah captainers

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

    2 FTs 0.0 ITB

    Thinking of burning FT for the first time FPL history

    Ramsdale
    Trent Robbo Cancelo James Perisic
    Salah Martinelli Gross
    Haaland(c)Jesus

    Ward Andreas Reed Archer

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

      Not worried about Haaland rest / sub appearance?

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

        No, he’s like KdB - he will every game if fit

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

          But pep has said he won’t

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

        Got to play the upside

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

      Nah, sell Archer and get Stansfield.

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

        Triple fodder Fulham? Would be an issue if I want to get Mitro in the future

  5. BlzE_94
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Salah + Toney -> Diaz + Kane 2FT?

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Knee jerky

      1. BlzE_94
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Really? I have 2FT

        Current sqaud:

        Sanchez
        TAA Cancelo James Saliba
        Salah Kulusevski Martinelli
        Haaland Jesus Toney

        Ward Dasilva Andreas Patterson

        1. The Legend Squad
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Same as me. Sell Haaland now

  6. Salan
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    The idea of replacing Haaland by Kane next week seems not too good, even though of Pep's comment about rotation.

    Haaland scores today HT in 19 or 20 minutes only.

    1. Salan
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      No defenders in PL can stop him.

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Not against WH away

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

    Robbo owners how we feeling?

    Robbo 13 points, Diaz 27 points so far. 14 point swing. I fear the swing will just keep getting bigger and bigger. Tempted to shift at all?

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

      If you compared just between the two ... 1M has gone somewhere else in the team. Does it make up for the 14 pts gap?

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

        I'm really not sure, over time. e.g., I've got Robbo + Gross, could do Dunk + Diaz with 2FT though seems slightly sideways. I know Gross came good today but I trust Brighton's defense more than attack, and Pool's attack more than defense.

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

          Need BHA defence for sure for next 4GWs. I agree that is sideways. I would keep and use FT for something else. Gross and Robbo is a strong combo.

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

            Thanks for the input!

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah, tempting. However Robertsons point will coincide with Pool keeping clean sheets. Liverpool was poor as a whole until today, Robertson will still do well.

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        They weren’t. They played well against Palace and should have won easily ; they were outplayed for 20 mins against United but last ball thereafter was wrong every time.

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

      Was tempted this GW, but not for a hit

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

    Out of interest, anyone know why Saliba has more baps than Gabriel? Gabriel has had a key pass more, 1 less possession lost, 1 more tackle, more accurate passing, and just a few less touches. Any other factors involved in the baps for defenders?

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

      Recoveries.

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

        Passing is only relevant once 30 are completed.

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

        Ta, doesn't show up on sofascore that

  9. Scapegoat Salah

  10. El Presidente
    • 6 Years

    Mitro down

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

    Ditch the defence and get the money up the pitch?

    Sanchez
    TAA Saliba Fofana
    Salah Diaz Kulu McFly
    Haaland Jesus Toney

    Ward Andreas Neco Patterson

    1. squ1rrel

  12. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years

    Oh oh, they've upset Mitro. It's either a brace now or a red card....

  13. sirmorbach
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Exact money to do Bowen-Gross, Archer-Toney before price rises. Should I do it?

    1. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Toney was awful today

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

    3. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years

  14. El Presidente

    Haaland perma cap

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years

      Not a bad shout

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Until CL rotation starts

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Which may start this week ; Alvarez quite possibly starting I reckon

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

    Will need a major brainstorming session during the WC to fit in all of Haaland, Jesus, KDB, Salah, Diaz, TAA/Robbo, Cancelo and James, which means I'll need to buy loads of beer for the special occasion.

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

    I'm not impressed with what I'm witnessing today.

    1. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Do something Mikel!

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

    that's more of a red card than studs up getting the ball clean, shocking from Saliba.

    dirty

  18. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Had gotten kdb, do i wait for midweek games or switch back to haaland?

  19. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    “9-0, aye? At least I had the armband on Salah :cool:”

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

      Imagine a non Salah owner would have had a heart attack if they'd come back and seen 9-0

  20. JamTart
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Got to feel for Mark S when blackbox do their MotD challenge tonight. Finally brings in Salah, will watch that and hurt.

    Won't be able to watch live but will definitely watch it back.

  21. stevehaigh84
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I'm debating transferring either Robo, Cancelo or James out to free up funds to upgrade Neto. My other defenders are TAA and Nico Williams and I have two FT. Other option is to replace Neto of a cheapo midfielder and carry a transfer.... the options are very underwhelming.

  22. KeanosMagic
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Knee-jerk alert

    Salah, Cancelo Stansfield out
    Diaz Walker Haaland in?

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Haaland rotation starts soon … possibly this week

    One of those days where, after knowing the score, non Salah owners had a heart attack before logging into the app and Salah cappers had one after logging in.
