Gameweek 6 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) kicks off with Arsenal v Leeds United this Saturday lunchtime.

The Premier League’s first match in 20 days gets underway at 12.30pm BST.

TEAM NEWS

Kai Havertz and Ezri Konsa have recovered from the injuries they picked up on international duty to start for the hosts.

Meanwhile, it’s Noni Madueke, and not Eberechi Eze, who gets the nod to come in for the absent Christos Tzolis.

There are two other changes from Gameweek 5, with Ben White and Myles Lewis-Skelly ousting the benched Jurrien Timber and Bruno Guimaraes.

There’s no Cristhian Mosquera in the squad, despite his return to training over the break.

Leeds are unchanged from their goalless draw with Crystal Palace.

LINE-UPS

Arsenal XI: Raya, White, Konsa, Gabriel, Calafiori, Rice, Lewis-Skelly, Odegaard, Saka, Madueke, Havertz.

Substitutes: Arrizabalaga, Zubimendi, Timber, Eze, Merino, Gyokeres, Hincapie, Guimaraes, Dowman.

Leeds United XI: Trafford, Bogle, Justin, Elvedi, Muharemovic, Gudmundsson, Tanaka, Stach, Ampadu, Okafor, Calver-Lewin.

Substitutes: Zetterer, Bard, Gruev, Bahoya, Bijol, Nmecha, Wilson, Longstaff, Aaronson.

        There was a post about that

        There's a timing issue at 5am and 7am to do with betting markets opening up on the day.

        Nothing to do with team news, just money moving in aggregation.

        ---

        On Chelsea's projected goals dip: sometimes this is team news leaking out, but not always.

        Main Chelsea-specific move came ~5am UK as sharp books raised their matchday limits, some under money ~7am. Had seen sentiment that the Chelsea line was a bit generous anyway - we'll see!

          ‘Team leaks’ shouldn’t affect odds anyway - since if they do it would indicate insider dealing, which is illegal.

            Betting markets move on reliable information and that includes projected goals which is determined by certain player availability.
