One more Premier League game to go today: it’s Fulham v Arsenal, which gets underway at 17:30 BST.

TEAM NEWS

Marco Silva welcomes back Raul Jimenez after injury, so the Cottagers (presumably) go back to a 4-2-3-1 after a dalliance with a strikerless wing-back system in Gameweek 7.

Jorge Cuenca also comes in as Calvin Bassey and Issa Diop make way.

With Sasa Lukic injured, Tom Cairney steps up in the middle of the park.

Arsenal are pretty much at full strength, or at least as strong as injuries allow.

In terms of changes from the last Premier League game, it’s just Martin Zubimendi in for the sidelined Martin Odegaard in midfield.

Ben White is fit and on the bench.

LINE-UPS

Fulham XI: Leno, Castagne, Andersen, Cuenca, Sessegnon, Berge, Iwobi, Cairney, King, Wilson, Jimenez.

Subs: Lecomte, Tete, Reed, Bassey, Reed, Adama, Kusi-Asare, Kevin, Diop, Smith Rowe.

Arsenal XI: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Zubimendi, Rice, Eze, Saka, Trossard, Gyokeres.

Subs: Arrizabalaga, Mosquera, White, Martinelli, Norgaard, Nwaneri, Merino, Lewis-Skelly, Dowman.

    Only got that Gyok fella because Ekitike and Isak began sounding like a rotation problem. Anybody else do the same.

      yep

      Well he had good fixtures so I assumed he surely must get some returns and I wanted some Arsenal attack. But I underestimated how incredibly garbage he is.

      Its actually shocking. Might rage him out for Mateta.

      1. _Greg
        • 16 Years
        5 months, 18 days ago

        Smashed him out for Kroupi. Short term then perma bench, Forest home next.

    Anyone got any spare transfers?

    Chopping block

    Pedro
    Gyrokeres
    Reijnders

    Gyo close to G and A

      He is no Woltemade, but not first priority to sell imo.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        5 months, 18 days ago

        He will blank vs Palace for sure, but two good fixtures after that. Makes sense to keep, but I wish he was gone.

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 6 Years

          Sounds like Havertz will be back soon too.

  4. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    5 months, 18 days ago

    Porkeres shot on target this time.

  5. Salarrivederci

    I need to bring in Gabriel ASAP.

    Should also have captained Haaland.
    Not my best GW 😀

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      5 months, 18 days ago

      Pretty brave not to c Haaland for the foreseeable future

      1. Salarrivederci
        • 9 Years
        5 months, 18 days ago

        Took a punt on Salah (C). Knew the risk.

        44 points with Vicario, Virgil, Salah (C) to go can still end okay'ish.
        12 points from a green at the moment.

        But need Gabriel in my team from next GW and going forward.

    2. Baps Hunter

      My VC

  6. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    5 months, 18 days ago

    Yes saka 2 dc pts and possibly 2 bps!

  7. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    5 months, 18 days ago

    Eight

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      5 months, 18 days ago

      Cmon Gabriel 😆

  8. _Greg
    • 16 Years
    5 months, 18 days ago

    Never expected Saka to get Defcon's lol.

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 months, 18 days ago

      He won't play Fulham every week

      1. _Greg
        • 16 Years
        5 months, 18 days ago

        Fulham have played well fair play to them.

  9. fedolefan
    • 11 Years

    Porky subbed.

    Had enough of Gyokeres already after just two games. Feels hard to sell with Arsenal's fixtures still being good, but would prefer Kroupi at this rate!

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 months, 18 days ago

      You are lucky if he is your biggest problem. Tbf Arsenal scored only one, not five, and had Martinelli scored from that rebound you wouldn't be complaining. Saka getting DC points was a surprise, but won't happen on regular basis.

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 months, 18 days ago

      Just sold him in a rage of madness.

  11. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    5 months, 18 days ago

    Wow saka on 7 pts without even a return!

  12. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    5 months, 18 days ago

    Triple ARS defence… wohooo!!

  13. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 months, 18 days ago

    Looks like Saka could be the better pick over Gyokeres
    7 points vs. 2 today

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      5 months, 18 days ago

      Looks like?

  14. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    5 months, 18 days ago

    I warned people about Pedro and Gyokeres all week

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 months, 18 days ago

      Who did you advise them to get instead?

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        5 months, 18 days ago

        Bowen, Woltemade.

  15. el polako
    • 8 Years
    5 months, 18 days ago

    Set pieces merchants strike again.
    To be fair can’t blame them, they’re playing without a center forward.

  16. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    5 months, 18 days ago

    Saka with 2 bonus and DC.. Gabriel 3 bonus

  17. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    5 months, 18 days ago

    This Saka 7 pointer out of nowhere is annoying. Mo needs to brace tomorrow.

  18. Silecro
    • 8 Years
    5 months, 18 days ago

    Pens, corners and defcons, Saka is what we thought Bruno would be

  19. L'Aeroplanino
    • 9 Years
    5 months, 18 days ago

    Saka 7 point. nice

  20. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    He's a flat track bully, they said...still waiting for Gyokeres to find a track flat enough for him

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      5 months, 18 days ago

      Not going to happen, he’s donkey - that’s confirmed now.

    2. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      5 months, 18 days ago

      Needs to slope downwards - and bigger goal dimensions

      1. el polako
        • 8 Years
        5 months, 18 days ago

        Also no defenders near by, seems to loose balance every-time somebody is marking him.

  21. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    78 points on BB with 2 left to play, up into top 500k finally

    1. Salarrivederci
      • 9 Years
      5 months, 18 days ago

      Nice!

      50 points with Vicario, Virgil and Salah (C) to go.
      Down from 100K to 230K.

      Will probably move up a bit tomorrow, but looks like a red (nedd to catch 14 points to turn it green).

    2. zdrojo187
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 18 days ago

      88 pts with Kudus,Gakpo & VDV left...

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 months, 18 days ago

        Huge

        1. zdrojo187
          • 11 Years
          5 months, 18 days ago

          Mukiele,Dubravka,Esteve did the job...

  22. Zalk
    • 14 Years

    I brought Gvardiol in on W/c just realised he didn't play – wascit just Pep roulette ?

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      5 months, 18 days ago

      He said don’t pick him on the fpl interview 😉

  24. money face bandwagon

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      5 months, 18 days ago

  25. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    5 months, 18 days ago

    Kroupi 95 - mins 3 goals, Gyokeres 666 mins - 3 goals.

    Diabolical.

  26. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    5 months, 18 days ago

    Red arrow with 59 points... it's getting insanely hard to get green arrows. Need Bruno to finally to something.

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      5 months, 18 days ago

      It’s so tough this year, you get points but everyone else also seems to get them plus one or two others returning that you don’t have.

      Week in week out it’s close but not close enough

  27. Jam0sh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Thinking about possibly getting Reece James. Too risky considering his fitness record?

  28. Jordan.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    5 months, 18 days ago

    gabriel 12points

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      5 months, 18 days ago

      No defcon though 🙁

  29. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    5 months, 18 days ago

    Some guy was talking about capping Reece James before the deadline. Was it a joke or did he actually do it?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years

      Twas the Knight

  30. Fifa las vegas
    • 13 Years
    5 months, 18 days ago

    Dubravka, Munoz, Grealish, Reijnders worth a BB next GW?

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      5 months, 18 days ago

      Decent, hate the chip.

      1. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        5 months, 18 days ago

        You hate extra points?
