Friday night sees league-leaders Arsenal host bottom-of-the-table Southampton as Gameweek 32 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) gets underway.

Kick-off is at 20:00 BST.

There is a huge amount of interest in this match for FPL managers, particularly those who have tripled up on a Free Hit. The good news is that all of the key Arsenal assets start, including Oleksandr Zinchenko, who had been nursing a groin issue. That means Kieran Tierney drops to the bench.

Elsewhere, Granit Xhaka misses out through illness and is replaced in the starting XI by Fabio Vieira, who joins Thomas Partey and Martin Odegaard in the engine room. Further forward, Gabriel Jesus is flanked by Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.

As for Saints, Ruben Selles makes three changes to the side beaten by Crystal Palace in Gameweek 31, as Romain Perraud, Mohamed Elyounoussi and Adam Armstrong come in for Ainsley Maitland-Niles – who is ineligible to face his parent club – Kalmaldeen Sulemana and Joe Aribo.

GAMEWEEK 32 LINE-UPS

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, White, Holding, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Partey, Odegaard, Vieira, Saka, Martinelli, Jesus

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

    Week by week I realise that content creators have absolutely no idea what they're talking about.

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 days ago

      I think you mean FPL "experts".

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 3 days ago

        So picking players from the top team home to the bottom team is clueless?

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 days ago

      If you're basing it on the results of football matches, you might be being a bit more naive than you think there

    3. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 days ago

      Were they supposed to predict Southampton’s first ever win at the Emirates?

    4. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 days ago

      Totally agree everyone of them basically called the same template team this week. Just goes to show it’s all down to luck of who you pick on any given week.

      One man's content creator is another man's online chancer.

    6. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 days ago

      To be fair consensus seemed to be to avoid the Arsenal defenders

    7. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 days ago

      Yeah should've seen this result coming

  9. FantasyTony
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 days ago

    Looking at Arsenal's remaining fixtures, they could very well not win another match for the rest of the season.
