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.

    2. Rainer

    This WC 34 is actually quite difficult. Who do you lose out of Kane, Salah, Son?

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

      Oh. I wasn't planning to have any of them. Depends on fixture announcements though

  5. MIGHTY JOE

    Broja such a dissapointment. Looking forward to WC.

  7. Rainer

    Bruno G, what position will he play tomorrow? DM or box-to-box?

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

      Az is never going to let anyone forget if he hauls this GW

    2. schlupptheweek
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Was hoping the G stood for something else

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

      If Willock is out then he'll play ahead of Shelvey again

  8. DA Minnion (Former great)

    What has happened to Arsenal.

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

      Injuries

    2. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Arsenal nothing without Tierney.
      Spurs nothing without Doherty.

    3. Jock Grealish
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      no partey no party

    4. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Injuries. Imposter manager. Weak mentality. Take your pick.

  9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    OMG TC dreamland

    1. Mario Balofail
      • 11 Years

      This. Glad I went for it

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

        It was a YOLO move.

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

    WOW Ronaldo!

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

      Free kick goal?!?

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

    Well done, Ronnie punters!

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      wish I capt him

  17. Random Name
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Not a pro player but I genuinely believe I'm a more talented footballer than Nketiah

    1. Tinkermania
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      We all believe we are better than many PL players. It's our own beliefs! That's all they are.

      1. Random Name
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Nketiah is the exception

      2. Modest Bob
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yes just like almost everyone believes they were born and they will die..nothing more than beliefs.

  18. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    That 50:50 between Ronaldo and Bruno (c) is a real kick in the balls

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

      Exactly the same in GW22 and I got it wrong both times

      1. TomSaints
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        It’s where the luck comes into play. Only 12ish points as good to own both here but probably costs me 10k

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Same but at least we own Ronaldo this week.

    3. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Had it on Ron at 10:57 then switched back to Bruno, ouch!

  19. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Ronaldo scored a freekick. How is that possible

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      He really is crap, how can anyone even go near him and United in a dgw based on what happened last gw

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

    Elanga assist
    LOL at Bruno cappers

    1. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Grow up kid

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

    Elanga haul

  22. Salan
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Thank you, Ronaldo.

    It's lucky to play you over Kane.

  23. Dammit_182
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    If only there was some data showing Norwich were poor defensively and some data which showed Ronaldo was a decent striker.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      If only

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      anyone on free hit would have him but only player you could have some for him was Kane

      1. Dammit_182
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I got Bruno in for salah after IB with this game I’m mind. Think the Kane transfer out vs Brighton Was a tough one to do so guess. I guess with a FH every week you pick him. Otherwise it’s tough

  24. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Ronaldo IL capitano juhuuuuuu

  25. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Lol United back in top 4 race for now

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Thanks to Spurs and Arsenal

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

    Arsenal does PL like I do FPL. Bad start(s), always chasing. Making it hard for themselves. Might end up in the top 20% if things don't go too wrong.

  27. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Bruno involved in the celebration

  28. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Glad I got Ronaldo on FH.... Not so glad with Kane (c)

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      There were so many good captain picks this week (and I genuinely think Ronaldo wasn’t top 3). But that’s how it goes sometimes

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

    AZ's season is falling apart.

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      He’s had obscene luck so it has to balance out sometime

  30. Brehmeren
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Well done, Lateriser

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

      Fair play, into the top 1k!
