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.

      1. Not again Shirley
        1 year, 2 months ago

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

        1. RICICLE
          1 year, 2 months 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

    1. mixology

      1 year, 2 months ago

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

  14. RICICLE
    1 year, 2 months ago

    BRUNOOOOOOO CAPITAN’!!!

  15. GoonerGirl
    1 year, 2 months ago

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

    1. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 2 months 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
      1 year, 2 months ago

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

      1. GoonerGirl
        1 year, 2 months ago

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

    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
      1 year, 2 months ago

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

      1. diesel001
        1 year, 2 months 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

  18. FantasyTony
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Never in doubt

  19. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 year, 2 months ago

    That's a 16 point goal for cappers?

    1. Zimo
      1 year, 2 months ago

  20. GoonerGirl

      1. F4L
        1 year, 2 months ago

        1. Zimo
          1 year, 2 months ago

  23. Qaiss
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Didn’t the pull contact start outside the box? Wtf is going on

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Continued into the box is the rule

    2. Hughes Your Daddy
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Different rules for the big 6. See Chelsea earlier.

      1. Qaiss
        1 year, 2 months 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
          1 year, 2 months ago

    Holly hell i'm on free hit and dodged multiple bullets like that guy from Matrix.

    Went for Mbuemo instead of Cunha

  30. F4L
    1 year, 2 months ago

    1. Tonyawesome69
      1 year, 2 months ago

      1. F4L
        1 year, 2 months ago

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