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.

        7 months, 15 days ago

        You must admit an element of luck as quite a few teams would not have been given that penalty.

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          7 months, 15 days ago

          Oh I admit it, but with captaincy place don him even to begin with shows the chance you take on a player I guess

        7 months, 15 days ago

        Bruno uses the same cheat codes as Salah. Wonder how many points they score in the 90th minute

    • RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      7 months, 15 days ago

      BRUNOOOOOOO CAPITAN’!!!

    • GoonerGirl
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 15 days ago

      So obvious, Dewsbury-Hall scores and assists, just when I've taken him out. Typical.

      1. keefy59
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 15 days ago

        I started him alongside Grealish .
        Midfield is where the points come from so where possible play all 5 .
        KDH is my cheapest midfielder .

      2. trikster102
        • 13 Years
        7 months, 15 days ago

        Brought in Johnson to replace Palmer when I've got DH sat on the bench 🙁

        1. GoonerGirl
          • 6 Years
          7 months, 15 days ago

          I removed him for Sarr so hopefully he'll get something tomorrow.

    • brianutd-why always we? 20

      Captain goooooaalll

    • diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 15 days ago

      FPL showing it has now turned into a game of mostly luck. As was predicted by the Paradox of Skill

      1. ChelseaGuy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 15 days ago

        Skill gets you consistent top X k finishes, to top the charts you always need luck

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          7 months, 15 days ago

          That was true 5 years ago. We are now in a world where the balance of skill vs luck has tilted towards luck. In fact, FPL have made it more about luck with the addition of extra chips in the first half of the season

    • FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 15 days ago

      Never in doubt

    • Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 months, 15 days ago

      That's a 16 point goal for cappers?

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 15 days ago

        No Mbeumo is on 3 bonus. He can get 2 though.

    • GoonerGirl
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 15 days ago

      Lucky Bruno owners. So lucky.

      1. Strike me a Gakpose
        • 12 Years
        7 months, 15 days ago

        😆

    • Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 15 days ago

      Jammy as ever Bruno

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 months, 15 days ago

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          7 months, 15 days ago

          should get winning goal bps to clinch it

          1. Zimo
            • 7 Years
            7 months, 15 days ago

            Then 7 yes

    • Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 15 days ago

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        7 months, 15 days ago

        Continued into the box is the rule

      2. Hughes Your Daddy
        • 13 Years
        7 months, 15 days ago

        Different rules for the big 6. See Chelsea earlier.

        1. Qaiss
          • 10 Years
          7 months, 15 days ago

          Today has been an awful day of footy, and yeah the decisions against big6 clubs are horrific. I say that as an Arsenal fan also

          1. jacob1989
            • 4 Years
            7 months, 15 days ago

      2. Hughes Your Daddy
        • 13 Years

          • 11 Years
          7 months, 15 days ago

          yea fair but cunha would've made more from that amount of opportunities to have a pot at goal imo. long range specialist
