Gameweek 14 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues on Sunday as Arsenal host Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners went down 2-0 to PSV in the Europa League on Thursday, while Steve Cooper’s side bested Liverpool 1-0 last weekend.

Kick-off is at 14:00 GMT.

Mikel Arteta names the same starting XI that drew 1-1 with Southampton in Gameweek 13.

That means Gabriel Magalhaes starts, despite being seen limping after Thursday’s game in Eindhoven.

Oleksandr Zinchenko, meanwhile, misses out despite Arteta saying he was “getting closer” a week ago.

As for Forest, Steve Cooper makes just one change, with Renan Lodi replacing Neco Williams – who drops to the bench – at left-back.


GAMEWEEK 14 LINE-UPS

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomiyasu, Partey, Xhaka, Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli, Jesus

Subs: Hein, Tierney, Nketiah, Holding, Cedric, Vieira, Sambi, Nelson, Marquinhos

Nottingham Forest XI: Henderson, Aurier, Cook, McKenna, Lodi, Freuler, Yates, Kouyate, Gibbs-White, Lingard, Awoniyi

Subs: Hennessey, Worrall, Mangala, Williams, O’Brien, Surridge, Johnson, Dennis, Boly

    Who will take penalties for arsenal now?

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Martinelli I guess!

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Either White, Saliba, Tomiasu, Gabriel, Xhaka, Partey, Odegaard, Martinelli, Jesus or Nelson imo.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Gabriel surely

        Total unbiased owner opinion here

      2. Sgt. Schultz
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Spare a thought for Ramsdale

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Wanted to put my neck on the line a little by only providing my top 10 alternatives. It was close between Ramsdale and Jesus, ngl.

    3. KingZamalek
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Jesus 100%

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Hope not, given his record

  2. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Oh no, saka off...atleast got that assist!

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Hideously unlucky captain fail, this flipping game.

  3. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Looks like Mitrovic is going to survive another week in teams!

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Looks like

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He might survive the week but I ain't playing him.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        You can afford benching him? Wow, your squad is super amazing

    3. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Benched for MCI and MUN not exactly worst fixture to play him in

  4. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Saka replaced

    Unlucky for owners

    He could’ve got a haul here

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Absolutely disastrous

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      But lucky for non owners and that's all that matters 😉

  5. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I take my positivity back. F this game

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      cheer up fellow gunner !

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Chin down, mate

  6. Josh.E
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    my differential nooo

  7. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Team a mess with only 1 FT!
    Toney, saka, Zaha, daka, Salah & coufal & injured haaland

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Daka & Coufal were dodgy punts that should have been corrected quickly without fear of taking hits.

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

    Did Bowen to Saka -4….feel sick.

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Foden to Saka -4 here

  9. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    When it's not your season, it's not your season...

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

      I really do agree. I had poor start last season, made some mistakes this season partly because of "having life", but with luck like this fighting to top 100k looks difficult now.

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Every season

  10. Totalfootball
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    What an absymal transfer saka has been.

  11. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    FFS C Saka... This season keeps on giving 🙁 I have made some mistakes, but been also extremely unlucky. With luck like this skill factor won't matter.

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not a bad captaincy return this week

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

        Yes, thanks to Kane fail. But -4 to get him in and -4 to get him out. Without getting him in, my VC would have been Martinelli.

    2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Same boat, dropping over the waterfall … very unlucky to say the least

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Apologies for bringing him in, I've not made any mistakes but I'm still being punished every week. Toney and now Saka so far this Gw

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

    Mitrovic & Saka to

    A) Darwin & Almiron
    B) Wilson & Trossard

  13. JJayy
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Thank you website for crashing, was about to do Foden to Saka!

      Lets me keep Foden for Fulham, bank a transfer, and not have to take Saka right back out, love it!

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

      People moaning about Saka cap when a lot went with Kane and Saka vice.

    • DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Odegaard do something FFS.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        He’ll come good

    • Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Lingard :facepalm:

    • RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Just sat down, put match on, Saka off with injury, I just give up at this stage

    • Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Delighted so far as a Martinelli and Gabriel and no Saka owner

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

        I'm sure everyone is very happy for you!

        1. JJayy
            3 years, 4 months ago

            I am!

          • Berkshire Hafaway-Line
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            I have mixed feelings

      2. notlob legin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        All we need now for total chaos is a Jesus and Saliba yellow card!!!

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Yes!

          1. notlob legin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            You could have a massive advantage playing your wildcard this week. Wish I'd done the same

            1. Deulofail
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Hope so, maximum chaos pls

      3. The Final Boss
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Foden and solanke to saka Darwin for a hit before the site crashed..both Darwin and saka could have hauled..

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          So why did Darwin didn’t haul?

      4. JBG
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        5th time this has happened this season, a player I bring in specifically for a GW like this. He gets injured or gets a RC. Sinisterra, Mitrovic(first time around), Martial, Rodrigo and now Saka. I must be cursed.

        1. KingZamalek
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Must be a sign.

      5. Rash
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        This midfield spot has been cursed for me all season!

        Started with mount gw1

        Swapped to rodrigo gw5 (dislocated shoulder)

        Switch to zaha (palace vs Brighton gets postponed)

        Wildcard gw8 and switch to ASM (poor move as he was injured)

        Switch to maddison gw9 (get his nice haul but then run of blanks and bookings got himself suspended)

        Switch to trossard gw12 for a run of blanks

        Switch to foden gw13 (blanks)

        Switch to saka this week (gone off injured)

        1. Stimps
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Please don't get KDB or Almiron

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

          I have been cursed everywhere. Selling C Wilson to Darwin two weeks ago was my mistake though. But really didn't see this happening.

      6. Sgt. Schultz
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Jesus skies one

      7. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Saka & Foden train hijacked

      8. el polako
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Now my ML differential Saka gets injured.
        I'm about to give up this season.

      9. GOTHAM City F.C.
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        This game needs a yellow or two

      10. Supersonic_
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Been unable to get the game on, how is Marti looking?

        At least Saka returned something, but it's still a shame.

        As long as Jesus doesn't get a sniff ill be happy

        1. The Philosopher
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Jesus hasn't had a sniff ever since Mary got diagnosed with Herpes.

      11. King Carlos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Calm down people. This FPL thingy is just a silly little game...

        1. JBG
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Not if you are playing for around 500£.

          1. el polako
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            That's almost full tank of petrol.

          2. King Carlos
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Oh, yes it is!

        2. WVA
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Yep it is but it's still annoying when you have three solid seasons of horrifically bad luck

          1. King Carlos
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Bad luck is being caught in the middle of a war and having to leave your life behind just to stay alive or something like that... all this is... I mean, really?

            1. WVA
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Clearly I'm not comparing it to life, this is a fantasy football site mate.

      12. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Jesus back on pre arsenal finishing form. The predicted frustration of having a 9 who can't finish starting to come to fruition. Great player, but Arsenal still don't have a great goalscorer in their starting XI

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          He works nicely for them with Marti and Saka either side, bit like Firmino did with Salah and Mane

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            True but Firmino is a good finisher when he takes it on

            1. Deulofail
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              And so are Mane and Salah conpared to Marti and Saka

              1. Ginkapo FPL
                • 14 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                Compare Partey and Xhaka to Hendo and Fabinho. Different leagues

                1. Deulofail
                  • 10 Years
                  3 years, 4 months ago

                  Not sure any of them are great goalscorers. Xhaka from set pieces, maybe.

        2. Ginkapo FPL
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Odegaard and Smith Rowe?

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            ESR isn't in the starting XI. Odegaard doesn't seem tobe a great finisher either. Tame efforts into the keeper's gloves are his specialty.

      13. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Anyone know if Saka injury looked bad?

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Knee I think. Hopefully out of the world cup being an England hater and all that

        2. WVA
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          He'll miss next game week I can guarantee you that (brought him in this week)
