There are five more Premier League matches taking place this afternoon, following on from the draw between West Ham United and Chelsea.

There’ll be plenty of attention from Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers on events at the Emirates, where Arsenal’s Double Gameweek begins with a clash against Brentford.

The Gunners are unchanged from their defeat at Everton, so there are starts for Gabriel Martinelli and Ben White after much discussion this week about their game-time.

Opponents Brentford make three changes from last weekend’s win over Southampton as part of their switch to a 3-5-2.

The defensive-minded alterations see Mads Roerslev, Kristoffer Ajer and Vitaly Janelt replace Aaron Hickey, Josh Dasilva and Yoane Wissa.

Above: Ownership and effective ownership stats in the top 10k, via LiveFPL. Five different Arsenal players are owned by more than 40% of these managers.

Arsenal’s north London rivals are also in action, away at Leicester.

Tottenham Hotspur make three changes to their side, two of which are enforced: Fraser Forster comes in for the injured Hugo Lloris, while Japhet Tanganga replaces the suspended Cristian Romero.

New signing Pedro Porro is also promoted to the line-up for his debut, with Emerson Royal benched.

Nampalys Mendy in for the injured Youri Tielemans is Leicester’s only change.

There are five alterations across the two teams in the M23 derby.

James Tomkins and Jean-Philippe Mateta replace Chris Richards and Odsonne Edouard for Palace, while the Seagulls recall Alexis MacAllister, Moises Caicedo and Adam Webster at the expense of Tariq Lamptey, Billy Gilmour and Danny Welbeck.

Evan Ferguson is fit again but only among the substitutes.

At Craven Cottage, Fulham are unchanged for the visit of Nottingham Forest.

Steve Cooper’s two alterations see Serge Aurier and Gustavo Scarpa come in for Neco Williams and Danilo.

Paul Onuachu and Kamaldeen Sulemana make their full Southampton debuts as Nathan Jones makes four changes, with Carlos Alcaraz and Ainsley Maitland-Niles also starting.

Che Adams, Samuel Edozie, Ibrahima Diallo and Mohamed Elyounoussi make way.

Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui makes only one change and it’s an enforced one at that: Hwang Hee-chan is injured, so is replaced by Joao Moutinho.

  3. Royal5
    • 14 Years

    What a goal from Willian

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I've got Arsenal on but Brentford had chances.

      Juggling a fillet steak and hoping the little one has a long nap!

    Willain goal

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      left foot curler

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

      Boehly, please.

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

    Unreal goal by Willian

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

    None with his 2nd assist of the 3pms.

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Bandwagon incoming

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

        Looking at my rank, I think I already have him…

    2. TKC07
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Looking forward to own for BGWs

  7. Big Mike
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Hey everyone, who is the best defender to own for double game week 25 and why?

    A) Tarkowski (Villa at home then Arsenal away)
    B) Kilman (Fulham away, Liverpool away)

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

      Neither for me, not going down that route. If you think you must, then A

    2. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      They both play twice in Gwk 25. Kilman has already scored 11 points against Liverpool, clean sheet followed by an assist and 2 bonus points.

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

    Chelsea should’ve bought Willian…

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      with an 8 year contract

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

    Forest losing two CBs early in the game reminds me of Liverpool's CB crisis a short while back

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

      Luckily they signed 30 new players like us.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      it's incredible that Forest are up to 13th

      If they win 4 points behind Chelsea I think

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

    Commentator just called Willian a 'young man' lol

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Certainly looked it there

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Younger than him I am sure.

  11. x.jim.x
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Mendy worldy

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      a screamer of an equaliser

  12. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Mitro looks good in that defensive mid role. Really protecting that back line.

  13. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Leicester City Goal

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Mendy rocket

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

      Goal fest already

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

    Mendy
    Goal

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

      Kepa not nailed?

  15. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Arsenal are great at discovering playmakers whose name starts with a weird Ò

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Discovering? Players who have previously played in other leagues and played for Real Madrid.

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

      I can only think of two, and they hardly "discovered" the second one

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

    Why do some players have holes in their socks?

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      ventilation?
      Run faster vents?

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

      Drainage…

    3. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years

    4. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      So they can get their feet in them.

    5. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Cant afford a new one

    6. fusen
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It's a theory that it allows their calf muscles to stretch properly when running etc.

    7. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

  21. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years

    Getting Madders might become a priority after all

  22. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

  23. chocolove
    • 15 Years
