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.

    This Ronaldo guy looks pretty dangerous. Seems to know where the net is

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Dangerous on and off the pitch!

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Did you get him in Bemba?

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        No, I ended up keeping Kane. Good news for kids around the ground, less chance of phones getting smashed

  5. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Bruno(C) massive fail

    1. OptimusBlack

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

    1-0 Brentford!

    It's a classic throw-in routine which ends with Norgaard sweeping it into the net from a few yards out.

    #BrentfordFC #WATBRE

  8. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Nice to bust the Foster bench boosters!

  9. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Norwich strolling past United's central midfield like it's not there. Liverpool will have fun.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Ronaldo will fake an injury to avoid Liverpool so there might be more support

      • Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        That's coz there is no central midfield - Pogba happily meandering around..

    2. COLLIN QUANER
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Didn't have the transfers available to transfer in the 2nd greatest of all time. Congrats to those that did, and especially those that captained

      1. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years

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

        Triple Captained in my case. Don't think TC even existed when he was last in the game, so wanted to take possibly my only chance to do it...

        1. COLLIN QUANER
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Love that mate. Hoping he scores a hattrick for you

      3. Philosopher's Stones
        • 5 Years

      2. NABIL - FPL otai

        1. Seamy
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I’m just itching to get at it. I own Saka and Kulu so will lose value on them if I sell

          1. OptimusBlack
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Don't sell

      4. Deulofail
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        A or C

      5. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        If Chelsea have a DGW next week you might want B to raise funds for Havertz/Werner/Mount/James.

        1. Seamy
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Already booked in James, Mount and Havertz in my draft

          1. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Have James & Havertz. Wish I had enough for Mount.

        2. OptimusBlack
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          This

      6. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        C is still good. He's returned almost every game.

    10. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      why are they playing you never walk along at wembley?

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Did you miss Blue Moon?

      2. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        they’re not 😉

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

          Liverpool fans tend to sing it without a sound track!

    11. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Can’t believe i got drawn into the Bruno hype. Useless playing deep

      1. Deulofail
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        It worked earlier in the season. It's the kind of luck you can't really make. Just hit and hope

        1. Deulofail
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Ew. I'm spewing. Don't let me talk like that again. Ban.

      2. jacob1989
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        He was always overhyped. Just became famous by scoring bunch of penalties

      3. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        He got the type of luck in the previous DGW that Ronaldo got for his goal.

        Can't control that end of the game.

    12. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      So with lacazette out with covid, any chance he plays vs chelsea in 4 days? What is the minimum isolation period now?

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        He's at least had it since Thursday so he should be fine

      1. Rainer

      2. AC Yew
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      4. Seamy
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

      3. just a man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        35 mins in. All signs point to another 4-0 thrashing. Bruno can still well be involved

    20. It's Fergie Time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      My original fh team had telles and cr7, but i ditched them for kane and double newcastle. I am horrible at using chips

    21. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
