After Son Heung-min and Harry Kane failed to deliver in the early kick-off, there is a great opportunity for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers without the Spurs premium pair to make ground.

More of the leading captaincy candidates feature in the 3pm kick-offs, with Bukayo Saka, Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes in action and all starting for their respective clubs.

Arsenal face Southampton at St Mary’s but they will have to do without Alexandre Lacazette this afternoon, as the Frenchman does not make the matchday squad.

He is one of two players replaced from the side that lost to Brighton, with Emile Smith Rowe dropping down to the bench. Nuno Tavares and Eddie Nketiah come into the side.

Ralph Hasenhuttl makes four changes to the Saints side beaten 6-0 by Chelsea, meanwhile.

Armando Broja, Yan Valery, Romain Perraud and Lyanco are all brought into the side as Adam Armstrong, Che Adams, Valentino Livramento and Mohammed Salisu drop to the bench.

Ralf Rangnick has gone for the jugular at Old Trafford, going without an orthodox defensive midfielder for the visit of unchanged Norwich City.

Jesse Lingard, Diogo Dalot, Paul Pogba and Anthony Elanga are all brought into the side at the expense of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Marcus Rashford, Nemanja Matic and the injured Fred.

There is less Fantasy interest in the match at Vicarage Road, where the managers of Watford and Brentford have made only one change apiece.

Emmanuel Dennis replaces the injured Cucho Hernandez for the hosts, while Pontus Jansson recovers from illness and takes Mathias ‘Zanka’ Jorgensen‘s spot at centre-half.

    Thankfully I stuck to my "don't captain anyone in the Saturday 12:30 game"

    Now hope my Salah -> Bruno (c) transfer pays off

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Made the same move - good luck to us!

    2. el polako
      • 8 Years

      The curse is real.

  3. Drexl Spivey
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    In a horrifying twist of fate, Weghorst might now outscore Kane, Son and Kulu combined.

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Pukki too.

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Fingers crossed.

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      More realistically he’ll match Son

  4. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Come on Manchester City and Liverpool...

    Let's enjoy a game without an FPL lens to it!

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
