After a bit of a damp squib at Brentford last Thursday, events at Molineux this evening will define Double Gameweek 26 for many Fantasy managers.

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Arsenal kicks off 20:00 GMT.

TEAM NEWS

There are no huge surprises with the Arsenal line-up.

Mikel Arteta has made seven changes from the (mostly) second-string side that beat Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup but compared to the Brentford match, there are just three alterations.

One comes at centre-half as William Saliba, who was ill last Thursday, replaces Cristhian Mosquera.

Perhaps the most headline-grabbing inclusion is that of Bukayo Saka, who looks set to reprise the number 10 role he occupied against Wigan.

Gabriel Martinelli also comes in on the left wing, with Eberechi Eze and Leandro Trossard dropping to the bench.

Ben White and Riccardo Calafiori, passed fit yesterday, are only among the substitutes.

Wolves boss Rob Edwards went quite strong for Sunday’s FA Cup win at Grimsby Town, by contrast.

He makes four changes from that side, bringing back Jose Sa, Hugo Bueno, Angel Gomes and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde.

Cup goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, David Moller Wolfe, Joao Gomes and Tolu Arokodare drop to the bench.

LINE-UPS

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Sa, Tchatchoua, Mosquera, S Bueno, Krejci, H Bueno, Andre, A Gomes, Bellegarde, Mane, Armstrong.

Subs: Johnstone, Lima, R Gomes, Doherty, Wolfe, Rawlings, J Gomes, Edozie, Arokodare.

Arsenal XI: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie, Rice, Zubimendi, Madueke, Saka, Martinelli, Gyokeres.

Subs: Arrizabalaga, Mosquera, White, Jesus, Eze, Norgaard, Trossard, Calafiori, Lewis-Skelly.

    1. Sir Michael Taker
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 9 days ago

      Saliba on for 2 points in a double. Nice

    2. iFash@FPL
      • 2 Years
      1 month, 9 days ago

      That’s me! 🙁
      I’d avoided Arsenal players all season. But got lured by all the stupid DGW hypes. And then went for donkey Gykoyeres, flappy Raya and TC’ed goofy Gabriel.
      You can’t make these things up, no matter how imaginative you are… 🙁

      1. iFash@FPL
        • 2 Years
        1 month, 9 days ago

        And for -4 while at it. First hit of the season as well…
        Don’t we all hate this game? 🙁

    1. Goodfeathers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

        1. Steavn8k
          • 2 Years
          1 month, 9 days ago

          1. Steavn8k
            • 2 Years
            1 month, 9 days ago

            Ah, none of them on the pitch I see - no Gomes Gomes then..no Bueno..

  21. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    1 month, 9 days ago

    And that is exactly why u dont Triple captain a defender.

    surely Gab TCers have no one to blame but themselves?

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 9 days ago

      Yeah but I don't really care, loling at myself

    2. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      1 month, 9 days ago

      I'm happy I took the risk, the games about having fun.

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        1 month, 9 days ago

        i agree, thats why i would want to TC a player who will score goals!

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          1 month, 9 days ago

          Get ready to eat dirt when Gabby plants a bullet header

      2. putana
        • 7 Years
        1 month, 9 days ago

        was it a risk? Was the safe move a lot of people were doing

    3. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      1 month, 9 days ago

              • 3 Years
              1 month, 9 days ago

              But you still didn’t know what would happen, hindsight

    4. Capocannonieri
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 month, 9 days ago

      It's more fun to blame others, dude.

      It's the basis for democracy . "You are poor because someone else is rich. You are rich so you need to pay your fair share."

      1. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 month, 9 days ago

        This is democracy manifest!

    5. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 9 days ago

      Here we go, I wish nothing but ogs and red cards for all my rivals. Now I've said it because everyone here is anti Gabby TCers.

    6. Gizzachance

  27. Ignasi M
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 9 days ago

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      1 month, 9 days ago

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
