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.

    If City doubles in GW36, I will probably BB36, FH37.
    Here is my first WC34 draft for that scenario. Thoughts?

    Ramsdale
    TAA(c) Robertson Cancelo Laporte James
    Jota Foden Mount
    Werner Daka

    Schmeichel | Saka, Odegaard, Dennis | 0.1 ITB

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

      Needs Salah

    2. LegendMoon
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Mahrez over foden and lose daka, maybe for Watkins or pukki ?

  2. Chalobah's Witness

    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

      almost the same but with Wood (C)

      1. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

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

      3. Do I Not Like Orange
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        13 (-4) from 7 here. On BB, so still a chance to double it at least.

    2. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yes. 40(-4).

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)

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

    Race for 4th spot has ended up with United still in it somehow.

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

      They conceded 15 shots to Norwich. They have no chance.

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

      Still gotta face Liverpool and Chelsea and 3 points below. Unlikely they get 4th.

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

    Utd Fans:
    "INCREDIBLE win, Ronaldo hat-trick suiiouuiii he is the GOAT lets get top 4"

    Reality:
    Almost drew against one of the worst sides in the history of the prem

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

      I couldn't understand anyone this week that expected they would thrash Norwich. Scraped a win last time out, not far from it again this time

    2. Utopsis
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Liverpool only beat them 3 - 1. Perspective.

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

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

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

    Alisson denies Jesus.

    1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      How many times?

      1. NorCal Villan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Three’s a charm

  17. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Cheeky Ben White booking as well. Can't wait to shift all my Arsenal crap.

  18. Mweene
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Lokonga and Nketiah look like league one players. Awful.

  19. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Salah is finished. Would rather have Bruno even with today's blank.

  20. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Wow. Ronaldo, what a player. What an icon, what a legend this man is. 37 years old and still runs the Premier League. Wow.

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Out on the pull with Tiger tonight

    2. Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      he runs the Prem? lol

      1. El Presidente
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        No? 37 and has more goals than the England captain in his prime.

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

      I've captained him 3 times this season, once for a dgw ... 4 matches, total 10 points (that's the doubled score)

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

    Salah with a huge miss

  22. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    No Ronaldo no gameweek

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Still think Chris Wood can outscore him

  23. The Knights Template
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    32 with 11 to come. A good week despite Kane cap failure.

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

    Salah needs a rest midweek.

  25. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    That's poor from Salah.

  26. Well you know, Triffic
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    United will concede 5+ vs. Liverpool.

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

    Brentford has now won 5 of the last 6 since Eriksen has started.
    Didn't win a game in the previous 8 games before he started.
    What an impact.

    1. Glasner Ball
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yep, what a signing he has been, hope he stays there.

    2. Glasner Ball
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Watched the build up on TV3 plus, just goes to show how the right signing at the right time can work out

  28. LE CHARO
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Ronaldo scoring his first free kick in 5 seasons in the final nail in the coffin.

    Who else went Ronaldo in 22 and Bruno in 33?

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I did. Also capped Ronaldo in 22.

  29. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Arsenal are a real bag of dicks

  30. Philosopher's Stones
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Feeling more and more confident each GW to go without Salah for the rest of the season.
