Gameweek 21 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues at 16:30 GMT on Sunday, as Arsenal and Manchester United go head-to-head at the Emirates Stadium.

Mikel Arteta’s line-up is unchanged from the one that beat Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, with new signing Leandro Trossard named among the substitutes.

As for Man Utd, Scott McTominay starts in place of the suspended Casemiro.

“We have a special role in mind for him – we hope it works well, it did last time.” – Erik ten Hag on Scott McTominay

Anthony Martial, meanwhile, is absent from the matchday squad through injury, so Wout Weghorst starts again up top.

    Fabregas has weird hair.

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      I think both him and Redknapp have been at the balloons again...

    2. A guy
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Think he had a transplant done years ago and it’s worn out a little.

  2. EL tridente
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Who would you rather have for the upcoming DGW?
    A) Eriksen
    B) Rodrigo

    1. squ1rrel
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      A

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Eriksen but neither. Not gonna bring many attacking returns.

    3. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      B, but not sure either are great options

    4. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      only concern with eriksen is minutes could be managed, 4 games before DGW22 and tends to be hooked early in games.

    5. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      I'd be worried for both their minutes.

    6. DonaldDrapier
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      I think I will get Wan Bissaka (4.3) for Doherty (4.6) unless Doherty starts and plays well

  3. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    I have two freebies. And I want triple ARS attack in 23. But I currently have White.

    Want to sell him this coming GW rather than burning a transfer, then I can get Nket and Ode in 23.

    The question is… White to who?

    Current defence is:
    Trippier Botman Shaw Lewis White

    4.5 budget? Should I just go Bueno and bench continually?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Estupinan (BOU) something to think about ...

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 days ago

        Blank in 25 though

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 days ago

          May have fixture inserted into

    2. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Go to Canal Street, Manchester and ask for thebiffas special...

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 days ago

        They won’t let me in anymore

    3. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Bueno.

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 days ago

        That’s what I’m thinking

    4. DonaldDrapier
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Wan Bissaka for 4.3 for the double.

  4. Pringle
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    What do you think about this for -4? This way I am able to keep KDB.

    Toney, Martinelli, Almiron —> Gnonto, Fernandes, Odegaard

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

      Like it

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Get it done

    3. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Don't sell Toney for a player you wouldn't be considering if he didn't have a DGW. Why do you want to keep KDB at his current price?

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

        Everlooming ban over Toney, and KDB has a DGW

      2. Pringle
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 days ago

        We all know what he is capable of. And he has a double next. This way I dont need to worry about getting him back in. Can possibly add Mahrez week after.

    4. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Not for me. Toney could haul against Soton

      1. Pringle
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 days ago

        Would you rather sell KDB? That is the dilemma here. Dont want to go without Bruno in the double.

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 days ago

          I think so

          1. Pringle
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 5 days ago

            Thanks. Will give it some thought.

  5. Lionac
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    I guess I will soon need to throw away one transfer replacing Martinelli to Odegaard. Martinelli useless last few games.

  6. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Kepa (ward)
    Triper walker shaw (botman saliba)
    Rash almiron mahrez mitoma (martineli)
    Kane toney haland

    Which?

    A) almiron to rodrigo/bruno/odegard/saka
    B) walker almiron -4 to awb/martinez saka

  7. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    KDB > Bruno FT

    Would you do Mitrovic > Nketiah/Gnonto -4

    Or Almiron > Mudryk -4

    Or just the FT? That would give me Shaw/Rashford/Bruno

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Or Patterson > Martinez for the 3rd United player?

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      You sure Bruno is a must? United don't get that many pens anymore

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 days ago

        Fair point! Any 3rd United player you like or not worth it?

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 days ago

          I'm in the same boat as you, not really sure what to do. Got Rash and Shaw

          1. Count of Monte Hristo
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 5 days ago

            Could just leave it there and go with Shaw and Rashford.

            1. Royal5
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 5 days ago

              Yup and save a ft for the dgw after

              1. Count of Monte Hristo
                • 12 Years
                3 years, 5 days ago

                1FT for Mitrovic > Toney/Nketiah not worth it either? Better used as 2FT for following DGW?

                1. OptimusBlack
                  • 12 Years
                  3 years, 5 days ago

                  Yes wait for DGW 23

                2. OptimusBlack
                  • 12 Years
                  3 years, 5 days ago

                  Save

            2. OptimusBlack
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 5 days ago

              I am with u also enough those two players

  8. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Good news when the 'killer' of my OR this week is Almiron. Probably get me proper next week

  9. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Triple (c)aptainers! Pulling the trigger on Rashford in GW22 or holding for a later date, possibly Haaland?

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      I’m going Rashford. Why not

    2. Scalper
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      After seeing what haaland did today, I’m going to hold.

      He has 4 hat tricks and 2 braces.

  10. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Just emptied my pockets and slouch fell out.

    Owned

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

      I think you've just hit a new low there mate

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

        Why? He’s called me a liar and all sorts of things.

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

          I'm not his biggest fan either but this attempt was a bit futile 😆

        2. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 5 days ago

          He isn’t the nicest person, i can say that. Bit of a troll.

          1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
            • 16 Years
            3 years, 5 days ago

            You are wrong. All he does is call out the idiots.

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

              Should call himself out then

        3. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 days ago

          He was right. Inventing numbers.

        4. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 5 days ago

          What did you lie about?

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Slouch has forgotten more about football than you'll ever know. Conference League standard troll.

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

        Yeah ok mate. I’ve never even seen you on here before

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 days ago

          Eyesight?

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

      Looks like you've been owned by all those on this thread.
      Touche

  11. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    I now own Pope and Kepa and now unsure of who to play next week 😆

    Kepa better for bonus or go with Pope as the stronger clean sheet option?

    1. sirmorbach
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Pope for me.

  12. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Roy Keane has just compared Nkietah to Ian Wright.

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Wright was a working man of 21 when he started at Palace. Had a tough upbringing. Nketiah has a long way to go to get even close to Wright's class.

  13. it lies in the proles
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Exact money before price changes for:

    Cancelo and Zaha

    To Varane and Fernandez -4

    Go?

    1. sirmorbach
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Go for it.

  14. Pringle
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Who would you sell first? Martinelli or Almiron?

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

      Probs Almiron

  15. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    FINALLY. A good GW. Just a cool 24 pts from Kane to reach 100 would be cool AF!

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

      14 pts*

      Damn keyboard

  16. sirmorbach
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Any early thoughts here?

    Ramsdale / Ward
    Trippier, Stones, Shaw / Burn, Castagne
    Salah, Saka, Rashford, Martinelli, Almirón
    Haaland, Kane / Greenwood

    2 free transfers, £1.4 in the bank

    Don't think I'd like to sell Salah.

  17. Ange Ball
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    76pts with Son and Mitro to play can't complain
