Gameweek 3 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues on Sunday with Leeds United v Chelsea and West Ham United v Brighton and Hove Albion.

Both matches kick-off at 14:00 BST.

Thomas Tuchel makes one change from last weeks 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur, as Conor Gallagher comes into midfield for N’Golo Kante, who misses out as expected with a hamstring injury.

That suggests Reece James will once again feature as a right-sided centre-back, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Marc Cucurella preferred in the wing-back roles.

For the hosts, they also make one enforced change, as Patrick Bamford fails to make the starting XI after coming off injured in Gameweek 2.

Daniel James starts instead, with Rodrigo – the second-most bought player for Gameweek 3 – pushed forward in attack.

At the London Stadium, Thilo Kehrer makes his Premier League debut for West Ham with Ben Johnson dropping to the bench.

“He has good experience, is versatile and has played at a high level with Germany and PSG so he will bring a lot to us and we’re looking forward to working with him. He’s played predominately for the national team at left-back and centre-back for PSG last season, so we feel we have a really good acquisition for the squad. He will be able to add to us in a number of areas.” – West Ham assistant manager Billy McKinlay on Thilo Kehrer

The visitors, meanwhile, are unchanged after making an unbeaten start to the season, with Pascal Gross and Adam Lallana tucking in behind Danny Welbeck in Graham Potter’s 3-4-2-1 formation.

      Miss the time when I could press «all articles» on here. Much easier to get to the new ones.

        You can still do that - just left click ARTICLES instead of choosing from the drop-down list.

          Cheers, how do I left click on my phone, though?

    Which one on a WC?

    Walker/Zinchenko/Diaz/Odegaard

    Cancelo/Saliba/Zaha/Martinelli

    1. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      B all day

    2. The Red Devil
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      What's your wc squad looking like?

  4. Sandy Ravage
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    This could get messy

  5. Over Midwicket

    Tentative WC draft. Low on Pool so it's a gamble but:

    Sanchez.
    TAA. Cancelo. Saliba.
    KDB(c). Rodrigo. Martinelli. Diaz.
    Haaland. Jesus. Toney.
    Subs: Ward. 5.0. Neco. Patterson.

    Thoughts?

    1. The Red Devil
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Pool face Bournemouth, worth the risk?

  6. Miniboss

    3 years, 3 months ago

    Second attempt:

    Which move would u prioritise? 1ft, 2.0 itb

    A) Iversen -> Sanchez
    B) Patterson -> Perisic
    C) Bailey -> Rodrigo

    Ward Iversen
    TAA James Cancelo Gabriel Patterson
    Salah Martinelli Diaz Andreas Bailey
    Haaland Jesus Archer

    1. Indpush
      • 7 Years

      Roll or A

    Is Longstaff really not up to the task of filling the Shelvey role? NEW need Bruno G involved in the attack if they hope to score more than the odd goal.

  8. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Silva and Gundo, those hirsute twins!

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

    Is Diaz the the best £8M mid?

    Moving off Mount. Can’t relay on Foden to play. Saka not worth it over Martinelli. Think Kulu is overpriced

  10. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Is that Foden not squaring the ball to Haaland again? Naughty boy...

  11. Deanamo Jammy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Vintage Almiron.

    Cheep defenders will always be better than cheep midfielders, therefore 5-3-2 or 5-2-3 will always be the best formation, because of the prevalence of wingbacks in modern football.

    Need the Man U fans to postpone their torches and hay thieves for another GW where FPL won't bother one tiny bit!
