With no lunchtime kick-off, Gameweek 10 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) gets underway with five 3pm GMT kick-offs:

Richards

TEAM NEWS

Starting at Turf Moor, William Saliba is fit to start for Arsenal today.

Having made 10 changes for the EFL Cup tie with Brighton and Hove Albion in midweek, Mikel Arteta reverts to the side he sent out to face Crystal Palace last weekend.

Burnley boss Scott Parker seems to be switching to a back five this afternoon, bringing in Josh Laurent for Jacob Bruun Larsen in his one alteration.

Fulham boss Marco Silva welcomes back Joachim Andersen and Harry Wilson from injury and recalls Josh King to his Premier League line-up after last weekend’s benching for the budget midfielder.

Silva also hands Kevin his first league start, with Sasa Lukic, Adama Traore and Emile Smith Rowe dropping to the bench. Issa Diop misses out entirely.

There are two changes for Wolverhampton Wanderers from last weekend.

Emmanuel Agbadou and Toti Gomes come into defence, with Andre benched and Rodrigo Gomes injured. Ladislav Krejčí will likely move into midfield.

And in the final bit of headline centre-half injury news, Chris Richards is fit to start for Crystal Palace.

Oliver Glasner makes one enforced alteration for Palace’s meeting with unchanged Brentford, bringing in Jefferson Lerma for Adam Wharton.

It’s nice and simple at the City Ground: the managers of both Nottingham Forest and Manchester United go with the same teams again.

Finally, on the south coast, Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler makes one alteration from Gameweek 9 for the visit of Leeds United: it’s Diego Gomez in for Maxim De Cuyper.

Daniel Farke’s troops are unchanged.

      Can't complain till he gets to 1.00! Those are the rules!

    3. wiseguy
      • 4 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      On the bright side, Saka s**t is an easy sell now

      1. The Reptile
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        Is he looking that bad? Easy swap to Mbuemo and Kudos to Rice

  2. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    Soft foul there to Damsgaard

  3. DeSelby
    • 3 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    Cunha with the embarrassing attempt at cheating. Sad.

    1. chocolove
      • 15 Years

      Cun*ha

  4. The Reptile

    How is Saka looking? Really need something from him ioday

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Pathetic as usual

      1. The Reptile
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        Think I'm gonna ditch him for Mbuemo then

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          7 months, 1 day ago

          Same but for some reason I just don’t see Mbuemo keeping it up

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

    What, 15-16 years of playing this game this is the first gameweek ever having triple defence of a single team. I’m not sure it is for me though. I’m too old for this amount of nerves. 😀

    1. Mr. Eko
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      No need for nerves at the moment when it comes to Gunners triple up

      1. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        Don’t. You’re jinxing it.

    2. Bobkat
      • 3 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Haha I’m with you on that

    3. Mr. Eko
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Don’t worry Bob

    8. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      10 from 3

  8. Von Lipwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    A) Kudus out for one of many options
    B) Bench him against MUN(h) and play KDH again FUL(h) and save FT

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Thinking out to Sarr or Chelsea or Arsenal mid. Enzo or Rice in reality are the only affordable options there

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        Or maybe go different for a week and bench for Reijnders, hoping the City Pool game has lots of goals

      2. Von Lipwig
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        Got plenty of money. 8.1m free for Kudus replacement. Wary of doubling up on united with Mbuemo as already have Bruno

  9. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    Mbeumo transfer curse in full effect

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Big time, that is the only way

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      TBF Forest away with Dyche wasn’t the game to want him for

  10. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    No gyokeres
    No gabriel
    No bruno

    what an absolute shocker. rank free fall

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      no rice either

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 6 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        Bad luck this week, good luck next? Is Gabriel essential?

    2. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      It’s only a goal and assist for Gyok and bruno

    3. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      We love to see it oh yes we do woo woo woo

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        on the plus side double ars def munoz andersen matatea doing well so not too bad

  11. F4L
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    gabriel 8 dcs at ht lmao. hes trying to catch up haaland

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Love to see it

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        looks primed to break the defender record for season points as long as he can stay fit

        1. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          7 months, 1 day ago

          bit unfair to "break a record" when he has 76 more points available to him than previous seasons.

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

    Saka will get an early sub if Arsenal are coasting in the second half. Arteta has already spoken about managing him and his time on the pitch

  13. F4L
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    burnley not had a shot damn

  14. Ignasi M
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    What shall I/we bring in: Rice or Saka? Leaning towards Rice because Saka is so predictable for defenders?

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

    United currently sit second in the table

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      And lare playing with 14 again

  16. Il Capitano
    • 5 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    Haven't had a goal from a forward not called Haaland since GW3. Wood, Watkins, Gyokeres, Woltemade, Richarlison, JP and Thiago, know how to pick em!

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Big Joke scored today

      1. Il Capitano
        • 5 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        Sold a couple weeks ago

  17. keefy59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    Can anyone beat my 21 from 6 players
    Current scores only no baps included

    1. Admiral Benson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      22

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Are you positing that as good or bad?

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

        Looking at the goals & assists so far these are good scores .

      2. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        Obviously good...

  18. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    I’ve never had defenders score so many points: Gabriel, Van der Ven, Guehi! I’m sure others will be able to add Mukiele, Alderete and Rodon to the list.

    The irony is I picked and still own Diakite in GW1 for his goal threat and he’s yet to deliver.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Timber as well, of course.

    2. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Well done!

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        Maybe they can have a word with Foden, who’s stinking up my midfield

    3. MikeBravo
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Didn't you swap to Senesi when Diakite got injured for a couple of games early on?

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        No, just benched him

  19. MikeBravo
    • 7 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    Remember when Southampton were near the top of the Premier League? During COVID, with no home fans present. No toxic atmosphere. When will supporters ever learn? Ditto Wolves. Stay away, give your teams a chance.

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Danny Ings was a menace

      1. MikeBravo
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        I think he played most of the season without injury...

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

      Wolves fans have a right to be annoyed at this stage. 2 draws and 8 losses from 10 for any team would have fans booing.

      1. MikeBravo
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        It don't help though

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

          Not at all but frustration and discontent will inevitably show

          1. MikeBravo
            • 7 Years
            7 months, 1 day ago

            You know what's even more frustrating? Resisting my gut to not do Reindeer to Sessegnon as my 'fun' transfer for this week...

  20. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    My next move is who to remove for Gabriel?
    A - Saka
    B - Gyökeres

    Brought in Timber to afford Mbeumo

    0.2 Bank
    Pope-(Dubravka)
    Timber-Guéhi-van de Ven-(Senesi-Gudmundson)
    Saka(VC)-Mbeumo-Semenyo-Reijnders-(Caicedo)
    Haaland(C)-Mateta-Gyökeres

    Saka should be on a double

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

      I’m thinking of shifting Saka to Palmer if fit for Wolves and going treble defence

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      think gyok still, shift to 442 and upgrade 4th mid. probably still gyok either way, saka is fine for now and keeps palmer's spot warm for when he returns

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      B

  21. F4L
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    if cunha can play 90, he might be a player who can pick up dc points quite regularly in this role. was close last gw but got subbed with 15 to go

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Him and Sesko the most likely contenders for early sub in the attack.

  22. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    top 10k eos?

    ant wait to find how much gabriel has cost me this week

  23. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    Best bus captain for next week?

  24. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    How well is Glasner doing at Palace. It’s easy to forget that fans were told to be grateful

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      to be in the premier league with Roy Hodgson. Now, we’re tripling up on their players despite losing Olise and Eze!

  25. Grand Thibauto
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    Gyok off for merino

  26. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    Gyokeres subbed

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Bringing on a goalscorer when two up is a bit cruel

  27. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    Will Arsenal ever concede again?

  28. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    Gyokeres HT sub
    Merino on

    1. lonecomander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Sigh that stinks he was looking good in the first half

  29. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    Lucky owners, Gyok rested for Sunderland

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      CS locked in

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

      Probably injury

  30. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    As a Gyok owner without Saka this half couldn't have started worse, ffs.. now watch Saka haul

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Nah Dubravka’s got this
