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.

    Minute Dorgu comes on to block my Tosin sub? I'm guessing 78

    1. Casual Player
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Chalobah sub for me!

    2. Michelle Davin
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Dammit,no Dorgu!

  4. maltasi
    1 year, 2 months ago

    After my triple injury mishap last week (Palmer, Saka and Ait-Nouri), I’m sure you can guess who my transfer was for this weekend 🙁

    1. bialk
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Dorgu

    2. diesel001
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Dorgu?

      1. maltasi
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Delap

        1. diesel001
          1 year, 2 months ago

          That is unlucky

          1. maltasi
            1 year, 2 months ago

            Thank you. Seemed a nice differential and likely to start too in gw4 with worries over Pedro going back to Brazil in the international break etc

            Oh well!

    3. jacob1989
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Delap?

      1. maltasi
        1 year, 2 months ago

        I’m starting to get PL managers message me now begging me not to pick any of their players in GW4

  5. diesel001
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Want Man Utd to drop points today, so expecting them to win handsomely.

    1. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 2 months ago

      You obviously haven’t watched them play recently

      1. Bushwhacker
        1 year, 2 months ago

        If they play like they played against Arsenal they'll annihilate Burnley.

  6. Qaiss
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Without FPL, this league would be unwatchable. Everything about it is so good but the referees completely spoil it. When watching the World Cup or 99% of CL games, we never have to worry about this stuff. They have way too much power and are ruining games. VAR in the PL is pointless when these pigs are in charge.

    1. Brosstan
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Chelsea def non owner?

      1. Qaiss
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Quit FPL last season cause you weren’t coping with a few bad weeks? 😉

        1. fantasyfog
          1 year, 2 months ago

          Ouch

        2. Brosstan
          1 year, 2 months ago

          I don't see how this is some kind of gotcha lol? As if playing when it's not fun is a better use or your time

    2. PartyTime
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Right! The quality of the EPL has plummeted over the years. The days of Henry, Nistelrooy, Gerrard, Lampard are no more.

      I watch bundesliga every weekend & only appear here when necessary

      1. jacob1989
        1 year, 2 months ago

        BL is only played for positions 2-18. We know who will be no. 1. Leverkusen was awesome 1 season and now everyone significant is gone

  7. Brosstan
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Dorgu cappers in tears

    1. Michelle Davin
      1 year, 2 months ago

      there were dorgu cappers

  8. jacob1989
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Triple spurs here. Bj, vdv and played p sarr over wurtz. Cmon spurs!

    1. fantasyfog
      1 year, 2 months ago

      In Thomas the Frank engine we trust

  9. Meta12345
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Never choosing a chelsea defender again

  10. PartyTime
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Cunha hat-trick today

    1. fantasyfog
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Obviously

      1. PartyTime
        1 year, 2 months ago

        -8 here because of Cunha so I need a hatty 🙂

    2. Qaiss
      1 year, 2 months ago

      We pray

  11. DeSelby
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Hope no one accidentally steps on an opponent's foot in the 3 pm games so we can avoid any more controversy.

  12. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Dalot over Dorgu, why on earth…

    1. bialk
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Pep roulette. I kept him on WC.

    2. Dannyb
      1 year, 2 months ago

      No idea, I'd take Dorgu on an off day over Dalot on any other.

  13. JT11fc
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Ok De Ligt, Cunha amd Boomo, nows the time

  14. DandyDon
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Pedro captaincy paid off and Cucurella CS to boot. Saka captaincy differential paid off last week as well but still down at 3 million begging the question what’s the point…on we go!

  15. Moon Dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 year, 2 months ago

    It's nice to see Mount get regular starts. I can see him going to the World Cup.

    1. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Dropped for Sesko soon surely?

      1. Moon Dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Maybe. He will have to earn his spot.

    2. THE Wild Rover
      1 year, 2 months ago

      He was left out of the latest squad though

      1. Moon Dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Yeah, because Mount hasn't been playing regularly in a while. But Tuchel loved him at Chelsea, there's still time.

    3. diesel001
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Hope not. He isn't good enough.

  16. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 year, 2 months ago

    EVAAAANILSON, GET IN

    1. bialk
      1 year, 2 months ago

    1. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 2 months ago

  21. thegame983
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Unlucky Senesi owners

    1. iFash@FPL
      1 year, 2 months ago

  22. THE Wild Rover

      1. THE Wild Rover
        1 year, 2 months ago

        I’m not, sorry.

  23. jacob1989
    1 year, 2 months ago

    I guess everyone has 1 spurs defender atleast so not a big deal

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 2 months ago

      None here. But everyone who matters has 1.

  24. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Beto

  25. Ady87
    1 year, 2 months ago

    United starting well for third league start in a row

    1-1 then

  26. nanxun
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Jack may have to come in after the intl brk

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Decided against hit to get him in for palmer

      1. nanxun
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Nice call!

      2. nanxun
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Whoops. Sorry. Thought you said you took a hit to get Jack in for Cole.

    2. Sun God Nika
      1 year, 2 months ago

      He’s incoming for me

      I’m happy for him

      1. nanxun
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Happy for him, too.

  27. Mighty Duck
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Finally Wolves go down this season

  28. FPL Sanky
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Jack has certainly transformed this EVE attack

  29. jacob1989
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Is grealish the new kdb?.he has assisted each goal since joining everton

    1. Sun God Nika
      1 year, 2 months ago

      He was in villa

    2. diesel001
      1 year, 2 months ago

      He's been let off the leash. I said after his first assist that him going to the line and crossing it would never have happened at Man City as Pep would have shouted at him. As soon as I saw that assist I knew Villa Grealish was back.

  30. WVA
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Senesi looking a good option

    1. GreennRed
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Not from the bench and Van de Ven started!
