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.

      • 5 Years

      Well played lad. Be careful bragging some sour grapes around here

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

        Bragging is fine, humble-brags are annoying

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

        Yawn . Predictable, repetitive , one dimensional .

          Slouch you don’t have to leave a space when using full stops and commas.

          Are your bifocals in the menders?

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

            I choose to for clarity , something you have real issues with.

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

      Nice! I’m on 60 with Perisic, Andreas and Kulusevski

  3. Salalalalah

    Great game, and Arsenal won deservedly .....they can be crowned champion as early as GW23 matchup with City! But the way Arsenal is playing, it will take something special for any team to beat them unless they let off the momentum in remaining games.

    This one was a classic and hopefully shut off some ManU fans who were looking for title run this season

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      As long as they can keep key players healthy throughout

  4. Zalk
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Fábio Borges does not have Trippier, and he's transfered him out twice this season. Remarkable...

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

    So happy

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Bounce - I was thinking of you watching the game after your post yesterday. The league is yours my friend - may you live in peace for as long as you can

    MAKE UNITED GREAT AGAIN having some day!

  7. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Gunnersssss

  8. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Hmm. Why does Bruno's corner before the 2:2 not count as an assist?

    Very similar to Kane's assist on Thursday.

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

      Eriksen took the corner

      1. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        That'd do it!

      2. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Whoever took the corner didn't get an assist.

        But Kane got one for a similar effort. Not sure, what made it count for him as I would like to understand the rules better.

  9. dshv
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Almirion and Kdb to Bruno and odeggard.. and yes bringing back kdb againa for double??

    I will make this moves after cups but it’s tempting

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      City have leaky Spurs next gameweek. I wouldn't.

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Would you buy Bruno on current form if he didn't have a DGW? Or De Bruyne either if you didn't have him?

      1. dshv
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Good questin probably without double i never would bring third united.

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

    really need a goalfest tmrw with Kane & Mitrovic banging in the goals

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

    Let's talk about Martinelli.
    Trossard lurking and Marti doesn't look as sharp. Minutes limited from hereon

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Switching to Mudryk.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I will swap to Saka first opportunity I get

    3. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Keep for now. Everton next

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

        Trossard perhaps starts vs the Eve?

    4. Touré De Force
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Will still return a very respectable total for his price tag for remainder of season. However Nketiah is starting to look compelling at his price tag for that 3rd Arsenal spot.

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

    You know what, Gabriel Jesus will struggle to get back in with Eddies form

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      That's not news. Arsenal are a better side without Jesus

      1. El Presidente
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Harsh

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Jesus will walk straight back in, he offers more than just goals

    3. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nah, Jesus is a level above Nketiah. But it's nice to have competition. I doubted Nketiah in the past

    4. Slitherene
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Martinelli might struggle with Trossard lurking

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

    Didn't captain Haaland - boo!
    On 87 with Kane to go - yay!

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

      Wow, that's an amazing score for not captaining Haaland

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

        Luckily the rest of my team dug me out of smart arsed shaped hole.

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

      U C Nketiah? how is it possible?

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

        Captained Trippier. My whole team returned other than Ramsdale.

    3. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Who have you got, captained?

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

    Which 3 United and Arsenal players do you plan to have going into their doubles

    Think I will have
    Bruno Rashford Shaw
    Ødegaard Saka White

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Shaw & Shaw
      Ramsdale Øde Nketiah

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Shaw & Rashford*

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Bruno Rashford Shaw White Odegaard Nketiah

    3. Touré De Force
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Bruno Rashford DeGea/Martinez/AWB (prefer a differential to Shaw)

      Sarah Odegaard Martinelli/Nketiah

      1. Touré De Force
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        *Saka

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

      bruno, eriksen, gashford
      ode, saka, nketiah

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

    Mitro & White > Nketiah & Schär
    For free
    Yaaay
    Nope

    1. squ1rrel
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure about bringing in Newcastle assets in considering BGW 25

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Maybe Martinez from Manu

    2. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe get Gnonto for dgw22 and Nketiah for dgw23?

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Sounds Good also

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

    Brighton only five points behind 4th and still have Man U to play at home and NUFC away...

    1. SamH123
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      5 if they win their game in hand

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

        Ya but its Bournemouth at home...

  17. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Good performance from Fernandes?

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not at all wouldn't get him for double

  18. Bucket Man
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    No there is two weeks till the next game but Wildcard? Only the 1FT

    Kepa
    Trippier, Shaw, White
    KDB, Rashford, Odegaard, Martinelli, Almiron
    Kane, Haaland
    Ward, Greenwood, Paterson, Cancelo

    1. squ1rrel
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Why would you WC this

      1. Bucket Man
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Ward, White, Cancelo, Martinelli, Almiron, Greenwood. No route to Bruno. About 7 red arrows in a row. Just incredibly frustrated right now was well on course for my best ever season but blown it. Might not be as bad as I think and I might just be being an idiot IDK

        1. squ1rrel
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I really wouldn't. Have a similar team here.

          1. Bucket Man
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Thanks Squirrel 🙂

    2. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Don't be silly. No WC needed.

      1. Bucket Man
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks 🙂

  19. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Just watched the game. Saka is the number one Arsenal FPL asset. I am considering Martinelli & Greenwood > Saka & Nketiah

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ode say hi

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        This

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

    Love me a bit of FFS beef

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

      Handbags at 10 time zones.

  21. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Guys, Saka 352 or Nketiah 343?

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

      Saka.

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

      Nketiah only striker with great players to assist to him

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        His stats is great and now more confident on finishing, and cheaper, and allowing Mitoma 5th mid

        1. OptimusBlack
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Exactly

    3. Touré De Force
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Saka > Nketiah, but why not both?

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Got Odegaard White already, need restructuring ... maybe later on WC

  22. it lies in the proles
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Most nailed ManU defender after Shaw??

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Varane?

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

      Varane

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

      Varane and Martinez are both fairly nailed. Malacia was just playing with Shaw LCB while Martinez was getting fitness.

  23. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Great game by both teams.
    Now hoping for some serious points from Harry and Mitro to save my week.

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

      United were great for 60minutes. Started to buckle under the pressure then and just sat deeper and deeper.

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

    Nketiah
    Ferguson

    i want them both. Consistent and reliable, key in FPL

    1. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nketiah, Ferguson, Gnonto front 3, orgasmic

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

    Nice zero pts from Shawberto Carlos

  26. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    76 with Kane, Kulusevski and Mitrovic to play. Happy with that.

  27. BusbySwede
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Martinelli out, Nketiah in? Feels like Trossard get one start in dgw?

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Who are you gonna sell for Nketiah and buy for Martinelli?

      1. BusbySwede
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Maybe take a -4 hit.
        First thought was Cancelo, Almiron, Kulusevski out but now im leaning towards Martinelli, Kulusevski, Wilson out and getting Mitoma, Bruno F, Nketiah

  28. squ1rrel
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    How did Eriksen look today?

  29. No Salah
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Almiron to Mitoma tonight?

    Both their prices are about to change

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

      Nah I'd wait

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

      Wait 2 weeks before doing any transfer that's my opinion

    3. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nope. Cup games next and could be injuries.

  30. Lionac
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone other than Rashford and Shaw worth getting for Man Utd double? Somehow seems no one is worth spending transfer for.

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

      Depends which Bruno turns up

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

      Nope and ask again to get more answers
