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.

    What’s up with Gyokeres, got into a shock that he scored ?

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 months, 26 days ago

      Lol

  2. RICICLE
    11 months, 26 days ago

    Why is Saka so crap? And why do I own him.

    1. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 months, 26 days ago

      Looking at your user name surely Rice is more appropriate
      You've bought Saka based on expectation rather than current form

      1. RICICLE
        11 months, 26 days ago

        I agree entirely with both points, that’s my question answered haha!

    2. Ignasi M
      11 months, 26 days ago

      Yeah - I'm thinking team know how to defend against him now. Have to decide between Saka and Rice. Thoughts?

      1. RICICLE
        11 months, 26 days ago

        I may swap for Rice or back to Bruno, shall wait it out and reassess, he should of had two already Saka!

        1. Ignasi M
          11 months, 26 days ago

          Yeah, Saka has again been poor today. Created zero chances. Had one opportunity which he should have scored from.

          1. Pariße
            11 months, 26 days ago

            Should’ve scored twice actually. I wouldn’t overreact if he gets into these kinds of chances.

            1. Ignasi M
              11 months, 26 days ago

              Hmm I can't remember the second chance? Yeah, I guess he keeps getting in the right space and making opportunities. But Rice or Saka?

              1. Pariße
                11 months, 26 days ago

                Defensive points have transformed the game, so it’s gonna be hard for Saka to justify a much higher price tag. Both can be worth it though, they’re both on corners too.

                1. Ignasi M
                  11 months, 26 days ago

                  Yeah, exactly - Rice it is then, who has been superb today.

        2. Ignasi M
          11 months, 26 days ago

          saka has been dire once again.

    3. Sun God Nika
      11 months, 26 days ago

      Because everyone always kiss his butt regardless of his form

      1. Pariße
        11 months, 26 days ago

        That’s really not the case. Even when he looks slow and out of shape he’s a special player. After years of comparisons to just about any winger, he’s doesn’t really have to prove anything anymore.

    4. The Reptile
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 months, 26 days ago

      Yeh what's happened to him?

      1. Ignasi M
        11 months, 26 days ago

        I think it's more about Saka only being a one trick pony (drops shoulder and cuts inside with his left), so easier to predict. Madueke is actually a better and more complete footballer imo. More unpredictable. Still, Saka causes many problems.

        1. The Reptile
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 months, 26 days ago

          Yeh I agree ‐ Madu was looking really good – real pity he got injured

          1. Ignasi M
            11 months, 26 days ago

            Yeah - still though, I need an Arsenal midfielder. Rice v Saka.

            1. The Reptile
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              11 months, 26 days ago

              I'm thinking maybe Saka to Boomo and Kudus to Rice ‐ need to have a think

              1. Ignasi M
                11 months, 26 days ago

                Yeah, good shout - I have Mbeumo and Kudus, so happy there. Edging towards Rice over Saka. Arsenal have had more space in the Champions League so not surprising Saka has been more productive in those games.

                1. The Reptile
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  11 months, 26 days ago

                  Good point ‐ let's hope he can nip in for a late goal

                  1. Ignasi M
                    11 months, 26 days ago

                    Yeah, looks like we all need Saka to return with a goal to justify his place. He's done absolutely nothing in this second half.

        2. Pariße
          11 months, 26 days ago

          Another ill-informed opinion. If you think Saka is all about cutting in or about that at all, you haven’t seen him enough. His specialty is a strong near corner finish with his weaker foot, the opposite of what you’re saying.

          1. Ignasi M
            11 months, 26 days ago

            Hmm I don't agree!

          2. Ignasi M
            11 months, 26 days ago

            when you say 'strong near corner finish', do you mean whipping it in and assisting from set piece corners? I'll agree with you there.

  3. Brosstan
    11 months, 26 days ago

    Dalot is so bad. Left back is horrible for Man United. Dorgu even worse.

  4. THE Wild Rover
    11 months, 26 days ago

    Danny Rose scores for Grimsby. Seems only yesterday when he burst on to the scene with a wonder goal for Spuds against Arsenal.

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      11 months, 26 days ago

      Must have been what about 8 years ago now?

      1. Brosstan
        11 months, 26 days ago

        Lol its more like 15 years. Time flies

        1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
          11 months, 26 days ago

          Man that’s scary

        2. jacob1989
          11 months, 26 days ago

          Not 15. 8 more accurate

          1. Brosstan
            11 months, 26 days ago

            Just checked. 2010...

  5. Gizzachance
    11 months, 26 days ago

    Just seen gyrokes subbed early!
    Injury? As he normally gets the minutes, glad he got goal at least

    1. el polako
      11 months, 26 days ago

      Probably asked Arteta for a sub to not ruin good impression after scoring a lucky goal.

      1. Pariße
        11 months, 26 days ago

        Give it a rest, you’re embarrassing yourself again.

        1. el polako
          11 months, 26 days ago

          What’s wrong with my educated guess?
          Guy who didn’t managed single shot on goal in the last 90 minutes of league football.
          Didn’t score in the last 5, finally managed lucky goal and couldn’t cope with it mentally.

          He’s already (rightly so) labelled as a £62m flop, must be difficult.

          1. Pariße
            11 months, 26 days ago

            He’s got 6 goals now? Stay in school and restrict your nonsense to Twitter.

            1. el polako
              11 months, 26 days ago

              Yeah ok,
              I can do that.

              Dosent change the fact that Arsenal’s center forward is as useful as chocolate teapot.

              Darwin Nunez would have been a better signing.

              1. Pariße
                11 months, 26 days ago

                Fair, I also get pissed off looking at his body movement sometimes.
