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.

GAMEWEEK 21 LINE-UPS

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

Subs: Turner, Tierney, Smith Rowe, Holding, Tomiyasu, Trossard, Vieira, Sambi, Marquinhos

Manchester United XI: de Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Shaw, McTominay, Eriksen, Antony, Fernandes, Rashford, Weghorst

Subs: Heaton, Lindelof, Maguire, Malacia, Fred, Pellistri, Elanga, Garnacho, Mainoo

    Mahrez owners- happy with the 6pts?

    1. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I think so, you always hope for more but least he matched KDB.

      1. Digital-Real
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        25pts from 2 gameweeks. Can't be too downbeat

    2. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I am happy with his points. But, I am unhappy that his goal was ruled out. On to the next game. He loves to play against Spurs.

    3. Alexis Nonsense
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He outscored KDB then matched him so he's been the better pick for sure

    4. Make FPL Casual Again
      • 7 Years

      Transfer justified, unlucky on disallowed goal, tot next, then dgw

    5. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      yes but wish he was more selfish than squaring to Haaland.

    6. Arn De Gothia
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      sort of, was a gamble anyway

  2. Alan The Llama
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Smeg horse!

  3. MBK 42
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is Toney suspended for SOU?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No

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

      I am thinking the same - why so many said that and equal amount asked about it. What's the case here 😀

  4. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Rashford's due a hattrick

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Well let’s hope he saves it for next week

    2. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, but he was out though so it got delivered to his neighbour, Erling...

    3. gart888
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He's do a run of blanks if we're being honest.

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        He's constipated?

    4. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Dream on Pig , next week maybe

  5. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Did Gnonto do enough today to merit place in week 22 team?

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not really

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

      For what he is at that price, probably, especially if Leeds are guaranteed to play in BGW25.

      The bigger question is probably who would you have to bench for Gnonto.

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        which other teams have BW25?

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

          United, Newcastle, Saints & Forest games in doubt - whichever set of teams get to the Carabao Cup final will blank.

          Semi's in the coming midweeks, we'll know before next deadline!

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

      Difficult to say - probably on today's performance no. But Brentford were so narrow and compact defensively there was no room

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

    1-1 Xhaka G, Zinchenko A & Weghorst G, McTomminay A is going to be fun here!

  7. bialk
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Why was Rico Luis subbed? Injured or tactical?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Tactical. Wasn't playing great. Made some bad tackles.

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      he was a bit shite tbh

  8. Alexis Nonsense
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Kepa outscored Ederson by 11 points last 2

    My man

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

    Tyler & Neville for this, really?!?!?!

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      And Howard Webb watching over var and the ref

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

        After his midweek rest!

    2. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years

      Just Bruno theatrics.

    3. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      far from

    4. Royal5
      • 14 Years

      Dive

  11. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years

    Utd gone from a show pony to cart horse up top 😉

  12. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I think someone needs to explain the concept of video technology to Fernandes...

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      he should have been booked for a dive. Why dont refs give YCs for clear dives?

  13. Shultan
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Since world cup break I've had triple arsenal with white, martinelli & nketiah but realy feel like I'm missing out on odegaard.
    Should I stick with martinelli or swap for ode? It would mean not getting that 3rd city spot

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

      I'd make the swap, at this stage I'm going into DGW23 with only Haaland from City (might go with Dias though if he gets back in), triple City hasn't felt worth it for a while

    2. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      i got white & martinelli. and want to sell Salah.
      Question is Odegaard or Saka?

  14. Make FPL Casual Again
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Can the horse even do a donkey by holding up the ball...?

  15. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Can't we just feed Ally McCoist into an AI simulator and have two of him commentate on every game...

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

    Martinelli needs to deliver a goal today. Been off the boil recently

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      WC'd him and Gabriel out for next GW to get Ødegaard and Saka.

    2. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Martinelli never off the boil, but yeah FPL wise he has been.

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Out for trossard possibly

  17. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years

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

    Gary Neville will be unbearable if United get a win today.

    Please don’t let us down arsenal

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago
