A longer-than-usual day of Premier League football continues with a bit of a rarity, a 7.45pm GMT kick-off on a Saturday night – although it’s something we also witnessed at Anfield just two weeks ago.

Wolverhampton Wanderers and Arsenal are the two teams in action, with the Gunners set to pull five points clear at the top of the table if they win at Molineux.

Mikel Arteta unsurprisingly keeps the momentum going by naming yet another unchanged side: all of the team today have started every single league match that they have been available for this season.

As for Wolves caretaker manager Steve Davis, he makes two changes to the Wolves side that lost to Brighton in Gameweek 15.

Adama Traore and Toti Gomes come into the line-up for Daniel Podence and Hwang Hee-chan, so we could be looking at a defence-first 5-3-2 from the hosts tonight.

GAMEWEEK 16 LINE-UPS

Wolves XI: Sa, Semedo, Collins, Kilman, Toti, Bueno, B Traore, Neves, Moutinho, Guedes, A Traore.

Subs: Sarkic, Ait-Nouri, Podence, Mosquera, Ronan, Matheus Nunes, Hodge, Campbell, Lembikisa.

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

Subs: Turner, Tierney, Nketiah, Holding, Cedric, Vieira, Nelson, Elneny, Marquinhos.

  3. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    We backed the wrong Norwegian today

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Haaland Finished?

  4. The Mighty One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I just made a transfer before I sign off for a month:

    Why in hell would Fantasy Towers make the Free Hit button so prominent and easy to press when we are all on unlimited transfers.

    Be careful out there, mates!!

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I was thinking the same earlier! Not sure why they’ve not disabled the free hit until after next deadline

  5. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Ode I think is gonna have to come in on WC instead of Saka

  6. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Did my first dip into Unlimited Free Transfers
    TAA-Cancelo-Andreas to Robo-White-Marty

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Congrats

      I was strongly considering Zaha to Odegaard before the NFO game but didn’t do it

      Kicking myself now 🙂

      1. Tango74
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I punted on ode

      2. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Had Zaha scored that pen and done something... So easy with hindsight.

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          No no I sold Zaha the week after for Trossard because Odegaard played Chelsea

    2. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Ode to joy

  8. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Odegaard exploding and I kept Zaha. I was in position to get him because I don’t own Martinelli but the Haaland news before the NFO game scared me

    His goal threat look amazing

    Do you think the boat has sailed ?

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A little bit, but he is the type to keep scoring here and there, I will be getting him regardless

    2. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yep, you should now consider Smith-Rowe….

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Feel bad for him

    3. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Would prefer zaha to be honest

  9. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Saka feels pretty underwhelming since I got him in GW13

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Same

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yep

    3. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      not trying at all today

    4. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Was Saka right there for the first goal? Just unlucky for you.

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, just one of those variance things
        The injury in the 5-0 vs. NFO was the worst!

    5. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      And he's gonna be exhausted from the World Cup as well. Think its time to remove him.

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Why would he would be exhausted from World Cup? Isn't there going to be long time to rest for him.

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Especially when we don’t even get out of the group

  10. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    wth maaaan I owned Odegaard for sooo lonnnng. Now I have Xhaka.

    Also go Gunners! Wooo!

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      NOOO I WAS THINKING OF YOU

  11. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Salah and Haaland the only players not to return from my midfield and attack lol

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Stop it

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        What are the odds!

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

      Across all of your teams though right?

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        The KdB one has done shocking today

  12. Jordan.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    bolllucks to this switching off for 5 weeks ,rival has ode and martinelli

  13. Herger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Any chance that Martinelli assist gets removed?

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

      Too highly owned for that

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Always

    3. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Why would it mate

      1. Herger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I want it to be. Not the strongest case I know.

    4. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No

    5. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      It was clearly a shot so not sure why it would be taken away

      1. Herger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        But I want it to be. FPL Towers are a disgrace.

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I’ve not managed to catch all the football. Was there some drama on an assist earlier?

          1. Herger
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Nah, I’m just messing mate.

            1. Pat Bonner
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Was hoping there was some drama!!

              1. Scapegoat Salah
                • 9 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Yes Kane assist

  14. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Get Saka off, need that boy rested. No point taking a risk now. You're two up, Arteta!

    1. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      White too whilst you're at it please 🙂

  15. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    White stop throwing away those bps!

  16. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Where’s the World Cup link, going to Auto pick a team & hope 🙂

    No transfers, just enjoy the games.

    WFH 3 days & work have told us we can watch the England games if they fall on office days, not going to be very productive 🙂

  17. PartyTime
    • 4 Years

    Wolves are rubbish

  18. George Sillett
    • 10 Years

    Cola spotted in the Aresnal fans .

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

      Is this an adult film star?

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        The clueless like you would have no idea regarding this legendary football supporter

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

          No I too much going on to care about celebrity worship.

          You keep at it mate.

          1. George Sillett
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Incredible to think that you of all people have " so much going on" . Still great to know that your ability to make things up continues relentlessly. I suppose that your ignorance re football helps enormously with this.

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

              Despite your many years I can guarantee I have a far greater knowledge on the game.

              You may know more about useless celeb fans I’ll give you that. Congrats Victor

              1. George Sillett
                • 10 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Well Walter . I can assure you that my knowledge of football exceeds yours by a considerable distance having played , coached with a coaching licence and refereed .

              2. George Sillett
                • 10 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Additionally it's patently obvious that you never go yo a game . To quote yourself " Real supporters live within 20 minutes of their ground so that they can go to games ".
                Whoops yet another lie.

              3. George Sillett
                • 10 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                This from the person who stated that
                1. Nottingham Forest should " stick with the players who got them promoted" rather than lots of new signings .
                2. "Liverpool shouldnt have let Mane leave " . Everybody who knew anything about football knew he was going regardless.
                3. Cucurella cost £80M.
                Lol
                Proper source of football knowledge you are.

  19. FPL_trail_runner
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Think ive solved WC 17 - the key is avoiding Salah and since wont captain him its obvious

    Money in the bank to turn Rashford into Maddison when his fixture turn

    Kepa
    White Trippier Cancelo
    Saka Martinelli Rashford Foden
    Haaland Kane Darwin
    Ward Patterson Bueno Greenwood

    1. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      You set on Saka?

      Your front 3 is where I want to get to tbh.

      1. FPL_trail_runner
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yep Arsenal are the real deal and cheap so its an obvious move to protect Rank and also get greens when they do well

        I also dont see anyone else (Zaha maybe but only for 2 weeks and its booking a transfer) to go with

        Really like the idea of front 7 from week 20 of
        Saka Maddison Foden Martinelli
        Kane Darwin Haaland

        Only missing Newcastle really but still they dont seem to create a huge amount of xG

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      You have 4 strikers no?

  20. FPL Brains
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Whats the better combo:

    1. Foden + Martial
    2. Rashford + Kane

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

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

      Oh our teams are different. Going to be a fun return after Christmas though right! I’ve only Kane from those.

      To answer your question, I prefer B.

    4. didas
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Neither. Can we have more options please?

    5. Scapegoat Salah

      2

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Almiron & Kane

  21. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Ode + Darwin over KDB + Mitro in my WC13 has paid off well!

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Well played!

    2. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Bright side of the loon

  22. PogChamp
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    The only thing that can stop Arsenal winning the league is Barca trying to unsettle Arteta

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      We have to play City twice. That's 6 points that might be super crucial.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Pep will experiment with five defenders, five forwards and no midfield in one of those games, so more like a maximum of 3 points…

      2. PogChamp
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        True. World Cup has come at the wrong time too but I think it's yours to lose

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

      Doubt they’d give him the time he needed to get Arsenal fixed.

      Will be at Arsenal for a good few years.

  23. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Antony Martial to save my game week. We feast tomorrow!

  24. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Jesus was a scam after all

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Glad I had him for the Leicester mega haul though

      1. FPL_trail_runner
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Thats the only week i didnt have him from week 1- 7

        (Sold on a terrible week 2 Wildcard).

        Was a terrible start to drop so much

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

      Like all religions

  25. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years

    Saka off. Phew!

  26. WVA
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Wow, nowhere near 40 points with this team, 5th red in a row, no hits.

    Pope
    Cancelo Trippier Guehi
    Salah Foden Saka Martinelli
    Haaland Jesus Wilson

    Give up

    Ars playing much more clinical.
    More interested in their defence than attack atm
