The weekend’s Premier League action continues on Sunday when West Ham United host league-leaders Arsenal in a London derby.

Kick-off is at 14:00 BST.

David Moyes makes three changes from last weekend’s 1-0 win over Fulham, as Thilo Kehrer, Lucas Paqueta and Said Benrahma replace Angelo Ogbonna, Pablo Fornals and Danny Ings.

The only survivors from Thursday night in Genk are Vladimir Coufal, Declan Rice and Jarrod Bowen.

As for Arsenal, they make just the one alteration and it’s enforced, as Kieran Tierney comes in for the injured Oleksandr Zinchenko. The 14.1% owned defender misses out as a precaution due to a tight groin.

Elsewhere, Eddie Nketiah is among the substitutes having missed the past month with an ankle problem.

GAMEWEEK 31 LINE-UPS

West Ham United XI: Fabianski, Coufal, Zouma, Kehrer, Cresswell, Soucek, Rice, Bowen, Paqueta, Benrahma, Antonio

Subs: Areola, Anang, Johnson, Emerson, Downes, Fornals, Lanzini, Cornet, Ings

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, White, Holding, Gabriel, Tierney, Partey, Odegaard, Xhaka, Saka, Martinelli, Jesus

Subs: Turner, Kiwior, Walters, Smith Rowe, Jorginho, Vieira, Nelson, Trossard, Nketiah

  2. Bubz

    Trying to figure out whethee that’s a better or worse outcome as a Martinelli owner with no Saka…

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Decent I reckon

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Good due to Saka 69% ownership and Martinelli 48% ownership
      You get 3, the average get 4.9

      1. Bubz

    2. bialk

  4. _Ninja_

    Saka will haul next week when all the FH'ers don't have him.

  5. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Guarantees Saka 0% ownership on FH next week

  6. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Dammit! I so needed that!

  7. Sure You Did
    • 3 Years

    Jesus will be on pens now. Saka appeal is now rock bottom.

  8. bialk

    Martinelli and Saka owner here.

    1. Ady87
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Same

  9. Ady87

    Only need a Saka shot for £200 and he misses a pen, and in my FPL team. The pain is real.

  10. DycheDycheBaby
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Just an absolute joke. I hate this stupid game

    1. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      What a bummer! I hear you.

    2. FPL_trail_runner
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Its not in your control

      You should just pick the best team and just laugh when this happens

      Signed

      Salah owner of 2 pen misses
      Mitrovic owner of 2 pen misses

      1. DycheDycheBaby
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah man. I'm just fed up with it

        1. FPL_trail_runner
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Just laugh at the nonsense of it

  11. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Thats Saka off pens then

  12. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Salah is that you?!

  13. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    FFS

  14. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Saka channeling his inner Salah.

  15. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Saka exodus has started 😉

  16. fusen
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    For everyone who has held Saka for the last couple of gameweeks that miss was so unbelievably obvious.

    As said as Saka got given the ball I was just repeating "he's missing this"...

    1. NikKaiseR
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Unbelievably obvious...? What do you mean?

      1. FPL_trail_runner
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        We have evolved to see patterns in everything

        Even in nonsense

        1. fusen
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          It's not a pattern, it's that everyone jumped on Saka as being the best Arsenal choice, he blanks for multiple gameweeks while his colleagues score points.

          Jesus picks the ball up to take the pen and then gives it to Saka.

          What is a typical FPL outcome? A miss.

          Just like Salah missing the first penalty of the season he got after like 18 games or whatever it was.

          Just funny outcomes from players that normally do the opposite.

      2. fusen
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        It's classic FPL. The funniest outcome came true.

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

      Okay

    3. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I was thinking that put of 2 possible outcomes he'll probably score but he might miss

    4. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks for the intel, Nostradamus.

  17. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone benched Odegaard to play Saka?

  18. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Was there an assist for the pen? I know it was missed.

    1. The Train Driver
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Nope

    2. The Train Driver
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Would have been Martinelli...

    3. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes Martinelli

  19. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    8pts plus bonus down the drain... Have both Martinelli and Saka ffs.

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

    Jesus to take the next one?

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

      Maybe not

      He's crocked

  21. EDUARDO DA SILVA
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Stayed with him, sold martinelli, could had haaland for Saints game if I was casual. :/

  22. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    2-2

  23. DycheDycheBaby
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Rivals get bailed out again by obscene luck

  24. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    And then West Ham score!

  25. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Two penalty misses for Salah and now one for Saka. Roughly 20-25pt swing when you consider bonus pts too.

    Sometimes it just isn't your season!

    1. bialk
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Same here.

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

      Ditto. I had Marti too..m

    3. fusen
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Don't point this out, as people will get all precious (see comments above).

  26. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Citeh advantage

  27. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bowen G

  28. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    FFS. That could be the season defining decision for me. Keeping Saka over Martinelli in GW29.

    1. FPL_trail_runner
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Nothing is season defining

      What is season defining is saying anything is season defying

      Signed

      A person who did WC in week 2 to sell Jesus (19 points) for Darwin (-1) and Mitro (missed pen) and was ranked 6 mill after, then FH to captain Vardy in week 3 and sold Haaland

      Im currently 65k despite all of that

      1. fusen
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Imagine where you could have been without the bad transfers. In a way those decisions were... season defining.

        1. FPL_trail_runner
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I had a different approach in the first few weeks and then decided to take a more patience approach to try and get top 1 million

          It worked out alot better and i now have developed my own playing style again after taking a few years off

  29. bialk
