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.

    Imagine a Weghorst winner

    I know, I know... But just imagine

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

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

      need someone to do a freak free kick pass like in WC

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

    Arsenals right flank is a lot safer with White on the pitch, that's for sure.

  8. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years

    Do something Martinelli you donkey

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

      Oi! He is not a donkey. He is a roadrunner. Meep meep

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

    I've scored that goal 1000 times on Olympic Soccer (1996) on PS1. Not that impressive. Just spam the circle butting when the ball's in the air.

    1. Deulofail

    A weghorst winner would be delightful in so many ways

  11. putana
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    martinelli is very lucky mudryk signed for chelsea

  12. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Not convinced by bruno actually

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

    What did MU see in Weghorst???

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

      He's been good

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

      Bundled 2 goals in during the World Cup, that’s literally it

    3. putana
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      loan

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

      Hoofs

    5. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Have you forgotten the DGW hype of last season for him?!

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

      He has done well? The line he runs for the first goal created the space for the Rashford shot.

    7. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ex Burnley on his resume

      1. bso

  15. Jones Kusi
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Best option?
    A. KDB, Andreas > Bruno,Odegaard
    B. James, Mitrovic > Stones, Nketiah

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Why do you still have James??

  16. JJO
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Ward and White started
    Kepa and Martinez benched
    Really great

  17. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I thought i was missing martinelli flashy shoes first half.
    Hope they work better 2nd half

  18. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    How much longer till Trossard gets subbed in for Martinelli?

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

    "Rashford's been doing weights". Wow, such an insightful insight from the insightful Gary Neville

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

      What’s wrong with that as a bit of commentary ? He does look stronger to be fair

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

        Everyone does weights. Including Tomiyasu who he was up against when the comment was made

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

    Shaw want to let Saka into the 6 yard box next time? 😆

  21. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    White and Shaw blanks adding extra pain to Cancelo's no show

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

    What they thinking leaving shaw 1/1 with Saka

  23. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Ode miss

  24. Bobby Digital

    Kudos to Newcastle defensive doublers... Tempted to get Botman for White, but Arsenal have a double coming up.

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

      Wrong time to jump off Arsenal defence, imo. The fixtures are good for ages

      Unless you feel White is not a starter anymore

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I feel he's a starter, but he's been taken off before 60min twice now in a short period of time.

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          You should look at the context in why he was subbed before 60 mins...

    2. Nightf0x
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Time for triple defs.

  25. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Martinelli was never going to get much change from AWB. AWB is a very good 1 v 1 defender

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

    Odegaard sitter.

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

      Not quite

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

        8 yards out is a sitter

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

          With 3 players between him and the goal

        2. putana
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          not much of a sitter if defender can block the shot

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

          8 players in the way too

        4. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          You need to understand the definition of a sitter haha

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

    Is the Steve mclaren in the United bench?

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, Ten Hag appointed him.

  28. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Buys Odegaard finally

    Stops scoring points of any kind

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

      You do that for most players tbf

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Uncanny isn’t it

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

          Would say it's more of a fault of the strategy than players.

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Like wrong timing?

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

      Thank you.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        My pleasure Rainer

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

      Not true, got appearance points today

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I could have got those playing Mykolenko

  29. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    So closeeee Saka

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

    Saka is on another planet atm

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Imagine having talent like Rashford and Saka and not being able to best France.

      Southgate out!
