Five more Premier League matches get underway at 3pm BST today, following on from Aston Villa and Newcastle United at lunchtime.

The most interesting team news comes from Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea make six changes from last weekend – yet Kepa Arrizabalaga (£4.7m) keeps his place in goal. Instead, it’s the opposing team that has changed stopper, as Brighton and Hove Albion have replaced the slightly hurt Jason Steele (£3.9m) with Robert Sanchez (£4.5m).

Although Ben Chilwell (£6.0m) starts for Chelsea, Joao Felix (£7.5m) is benched and Kai Havertz (£7.5m) won’t be taking part at all.

The Seagulls’ midfield trio Kaoru Mitoma (£5.7m), Alexis Mac Allister (£5.5m) and Solly March (£5.2m) all start, as does Pervis Estupinan (£4.8m).

For Everton, Neal Maupay (£5.7m) comes in for Ellis Simms (£4.5m) and Vitalii Mykolenko (£4.1m) replaces the hurt Seamus Coleman (£4.3m). Opponents Fulham start Andreas Pereira (£4.3m).

Southampton’s sole change brings Joe Aribo (£5.0m) in for Mohamed Elyounoussi (£5.1m) whilst visitors Crystal Palace haven’t tweaked the XI that destroyed Leeds United 5-1 last Sunday. That means Michael Olise (£5.5m) and Eberechi Eze (£5.4m) begin proceedings.

Harry Kane (£11.7m) and Son Heung-min (£11.6m) start for unchanged Spurs, as does attacking wing-back Pedro Porro (£4.8m). They’re against Bournemouth and forward Dominic Solanke (£5.5m).

Finally, the usual names like Ivan Toney (£7.8m), David Raya (£4.9m), Rico Henry (£4.6m) and Ben Mee (£5.1m) start for Brentford at Wolves. Their hosts make Pedro Sarbia (£5.2m) the only change from the side which beat Chelsea 1-0.

      I am tempted to hold Haaland and sell Kane after today lol, perhaps stick to the original plan

    Lol I own Outtara. Was only holding for bgw32 and after todays benching I was going to sell. Suppose I’ll reluctantly hold another week

    Free hit 32 draft

    Martinez
    TAA White Moreno Robbo
    Martinelli Salah Eze
    Watkins Jesus Kane

    Iversen Guehi Olise Reed

    Thoughts? Improvements? Tempted by Solanke after today but conscious Spurs were awful plus can’t bring myself to leave £7.8m ITB

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      forget white and get saka

      1. GC123
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        White has been brilliant for me lately. Saka has been quiet. Might reconsider if Saka turns it on this week

    Well done Roy and the boyz. Eze 2nd was special

    1. Glasner Ball
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah, I tried to convince people to get Eze in, what a player under Roy!

    Rival has Haaland third bench and unlikely to come on.

    Made up to some extent with Watkins (C), Mings, March and Kepa for 51points. I’ll have to ask him if he’s a genius or just forgot

    1. GC123
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I think the latter. Even Pep wouldn’t bench Haaland

  10. Crunchie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Really want to get rid of Kane now on GW32 but Haaland too expensive too keep if Ferguson is out .............

    Anyone know what happened?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years

      Got hurt. Could be out for a bit.

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        OH, Poor Lad. Is Encisco worth a punt then?

  11. romperstomper
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Johnstone/Guaita

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Sam Johnstone after today

    3. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Ramsey, Alisson, DeGea.

    4. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Ramsdale or Allison if you can spare the Ars Liv spaces. I fancy Martinez and/or maybe Neto for save points

    5. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      are you FH?

  12. gart888
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Any reason to hold off from making a free hit team?

    I guess it's unlikely to be priced out of anyone we want with City and United not options?

  13. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Come on Haaland (C)!

  14. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    How much would Haaland have to be priced at next season for you to even consider going without?
