Four more Premier League matches get underway at 15:00 BST this afternoon.

They include the fixture that many Fantasy managers are banking on – maybe more than hope in expectation – being a one-sided bloodbath: Manchester United v Burnley.

TEAM NEWS

Ruben Amorim makes one change from the team that drew at Fulham last weekend, with Diogo Dalot coming in for Patrick Dorgu.

Benjamin Sesko is only among the substitutes as visiting boss Scott Parker named an unchanged XI from the win over Sunderland.

Also sticking with the same line-ups from Gameweek 2 are the head coaches of Tottenham Hotspur and Bournemouth for their encounter in north London.

The headline team news from the 3pm kick-offs comes from Molineux, where the sought-after Jorgen Strand Larsen is absent.

Also missing is injured £4.0m defender Ki-Jana Hoever.

Hwang Hee-chan instead leads the line for Wolverhampton Wanderers, who also bring in Jackson Tchatchoua, Santiago Bueno, Hugo Bueno and Andre.

Matt Doherty, Jeanricner Bellegarde and David Moller Wolfe drop to the bench.

Beto is preferred to Thierno Barry up top for Everton, who also welcome back Vitaliy Mykolenko to their Premier League XI after his midweek recovery from injury.

Tim Iroegbunam makes way.

Finally, at the Stadium of Light, the hosts bring in Nordi Mukiele and Enzo Le Fee for the injured Dan Ballard and the benched Simon Adingra.

Brentford are unchanged.

    -8 for Cunha really hurts

      • 4 Years

      Ouch what were your moves - why so aggressive

    2. Moon Dog

        Unlucky PT, injuries are the worst part of this game. I hope your luck balances out in future games.

      Bruno you beauty!

      1. g40steve
        • 7 Years
        3 months, 14 days ago

        Playing Burnley who had a goal disallowed is not exactly an improvement

    4. Supersonic_
      • 4 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      Pulled me out of the abyss slightly

      KDH and Bruno

      Could probably do with a Salah blank and Robot haul now judging by captaincy in my league

    5. Ajax Hamsterdam

      Planning on selling Watkins and dorgu for -4

      Dorgu to
      A tarkowski (DC king)
      B Munoz

      Cheers

      Warra stat...

      Jack Grealish in his last 2 league seasons at Man City - 2 assists

      Jack Grealish in his first 2 league starts for Everton - 4 assists

        Ok my radar for sure.

    7. Pedram
      • 12 Years
      3 months, 14 days ago

      45 points. Burn, Gakpo, Haaland, Wood to play. Not too shabby if i say so myself.

      1. Supersonic_
        • 4 Years
        3 months, 14 days ago

        Very nice

        48 with Salah, Haaland, Wirtz, Konsa, Williams and Mr. Anderson

      2. Supersonic_
        • 4 Years
        3 months, 14 days ago

        My first 2 GWs have been abysmal. Glad to have a decent start today

      3. Moon Dog
          3 months, 14 days ago

          Similar here

          49 with Wood, Murillo, Milenkovic, Salah, Wirtz to go

          Into the top 500k apparently 🙂

          1. Supersonic_
            • 4 Years
            3 months, 14 days ago

            Lovely stuff. I'm still at 2M. Nosebleeds..

          2. Supersonic_
            • 4 Years
            3 months, 14 days ago

            Bruno cap?

            1. Moon Dog
                3 months, 14 days ago

                Yeah. Mad luck at the end there!

        • GENERATION X
          • 12 Years
          3 months, 14 days ago

          Wow sold KDH and Evanilson for Josh King and Wood, the game that keeps on giving

          1. Supersonic_
            • 4 Years
            3 months, 14 days ago

            Rough mate. I almost raged Pedro after GW1. Wood should return, as long as Anderson is involved, I am cool with that. Who you gone for captain?

            1. GENERATION X
              • 12 Years
              3 months, 14 days ago

              Cheers. Gone Wood cap so fear for him just to complete the set

          2. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 months, 14 days ago

            That's a rough one. Did you start King? Even more-so if yes.

            1. GENERATION X
              • 12 Years
              3 months, 14 days ago

              Yep, kept Palmer so he played. Least he looks a bargain. Been playing this game long enough to accept it lol

          3. Moon Dog
              3 months, 14 days ago

              Yeah, I've been playing this game since 2002, so 23 years, and the biggest thing I've learnt is that it's almost always better to do nothing when possible 😆

              Injuries are always around the corner, always reserve your moves for them, and only make "luxury transfers" when your transfer limit is full and you have no injuries.

              1. GENERATION X
                • 12 Years
                3 months, 14 days ago

                Very true I wish id overslept now lol. Tbh I didnt like KDH performances till now looked and was rarely going to play him

              2. Camzy
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 15 Years
                3 months, 14 days ago

                Yep. If in doubt do nowt is a really good rule to live by in FPL.

                I followed it this week and happy so far.

          4. Bobby Digital
            • 8 Years
            3 months, 14 days ago

            Gudmundsson CS needed

            1. Stranger Mings
              • 5 Years
              3 months, 14 days ago

              Yeh me too

              1. Bobby Digital
                • 8 Years
                3 months, 14 days ago

                Elanga and Barnes on the bench is a good start

                1. Stranger Mings
                  • 5 Years
                  3 months, 14 days ago

                  Fingers x

          5. Stranger Mings

            Surely bruno deserves 3 bps

            1. Mambino
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              3 months, 14 days ago

              yellow card

          6. Slurpy
            • 10 Years
            3 months, 14 days ago

            Most corrupt league in the world. Decisions only go to the big teams

            1. Yes Don
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              3 months, 14 days ago

              fun opinion

          7. Stranger Mings
            • 5 Years
            3 months, 14 days ago

            Assume dorgu out no brainer

          8. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 months, 14 days ago

            37 from 4. Needed that!
            - Bruno (C), Pedro, Sanchez (+ Porro...)
            - Porro 9 DefCon sub annoying but only let in 1
            - Salah, Watkins, Sarr, Reijnders, Anderson, Milenkovic, Murillo left.

          9. Zilla
            • 8 Years
            3 months, 14 days ago

            Frimpong, Ait-Nouri and Cunha injuries in the first 3 GWs is a lot to manage.

          10. Nightcrawler
            • 6 Years
            3 months, 14 days ago

            Bruno cappers rewarded for owning a CDM with penalties. Utterly ridiculous

            1. Hazz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              3 months, 14 days ago

              You love to see it oh yes you do!

            2. Supersonic_
              • 4 Years
              3 months, 14 days ago

              Aye. Think I will just stick with Salah and Haaland caps from now on

            3. Yes Don
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              3 months, 14 days ago

              obvious choice.

            4. AC/DC AFC
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              3 months, 14 days ago

              That's why they /we have him

              But late show for Bruno captainers

              It was almost 5pm when he hit the back of the net

              Add that to those who had Salah in Gw1 + 2.

          11. theshazly
            • 2 Years
            3 months, 14 days ago

            Feeling so mudded that KDH is first on my bench

            1. AC/DC AFC
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              3 months, 14 days ago

              Hope your captain misses out tomorrow?

            2. Philosopher's Stones
              • 5 Years
              3 months, 14 days ago

              Should've started him mate

          12. Philosopher's Stones
            • 5 Years
            3 months, 14 days ago

            Kelleher CS busted last 10 minutes. Dango goal disallowed. Might be time to delete the team.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
