Mikel Arteta’s line-up is unchanged from the one that beat Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, with new signing Leandro Trossard named among the substitutes.

As for Man Utd, Scott McTominay starts in place of the suspended Casemiro.

“We have a special role in mind for him – we hope it works well, it did last time.” – Erik ten Hag on Scott McTominay

Anthony Martial, meanwhile, is absent from the matchday squad through injury, so Wout Weghorst starts again up top.

      Well played lad. Be careful bragging some sour grapes around here

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        Bragging is fine, humble-brags are annoying

      2. George Sillett
        • 10 Years

        Yawn . Predictable, repetitive , one dimensional .

          Slouch you don’t have to leave a space when using full stops and commas.

          Are your bifocals in the menders?

          1. George Sillett
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 12 days ago

            I choose to for clarity , something you have real issues with.

    4. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Nice! I’m on 60 with Perisic, Andreas and Kulusevski

    Great game, and Arsenal won deservedly .....they can be crowned champion as early as GW23 matchup with City! But the way Arsenal is playing, it will take something special for any team to beat them unless they let off the momentum in remaining games.

    This one was a classic and hopefully shut off some ManU fans who were looking for title run this season

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      As long as they can keep key players healthy throughout

  4. Zalk
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Fábio Borges does not have Trippier, and he's transfered him out twice this season. Remarkable...

  5. Bounce
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    So happy

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

    2. Debauchy

      Very happy for you Bounce , happy for me too.. Stay strong mate

  7. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Gunnersssss

  8. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Hmm. Why does Bruno's corner before the 2:2 not count as an assist?

    Very similar to Kane's assist on Thursday.

    1. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Eriksen took the corner

      1. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        That'd do it!

      2. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        Whoever took the corner didn't get an assist.

        But Kane got one for a similar effort. Not sure, what made it count for him as I would like to understand the rules better.

  9. dshv
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Almirion and Kdb to Bruno and odeggard.. and yes bringing back kdb againa for double??

    I will make this moves after cups but it’s tempting

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      City have leaky Spurs next gameweek. I wouldn't.

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Would you buy Bruno on current form if he didn't have a DGW? Or De Bruyne either if you didn't have him?

      1. dshv
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        Good questin probably without double i never would bring third united.

  10. jacob1989
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    really need a goalfest tmrw with Kane & Mitrovic banging in the goals

  11. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Let's talk about Martinelli.
    Trossard lurking and Marti doesn't look as sharp. Minutes limited from hereon

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Switching to Mudryk.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      I will swap to Saka first opportunity I get

    3. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Keep for now. Everton next

      1. Digital-Real
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        Trossard perhaps starts vs the Eve?

    4. Touré De Force
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Will still return a very respectable total for his price tag for remainder of season. However Nketiah is starting to look compelling at his price tag for that 3rd Arsenal spot.

  12. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    You know what, Gabriel Jesus will struggle to get back in with Eddies form

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      That's not news. Arsenal are a better side without Jesus

      1. El Presidente
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        Harsh

    2. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Jesus will walk straight back in, he offers more than just goals

    3. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Nah, Jesus is a level above Nketiah. But it's nice to have competition. I doubted Nketiah in the past

    4. Slitherene
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Martinelli might struggle with Trossard lurking

  13. Alan The Llama
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Didn't captain Haaland - boo!
    On 87 with Kane to go - yay!

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Wow, that's an amazing score for not captaining Haaland

      1. Alan The Llama
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        Luckily the rest of my team dug me out of smart arsed shaped hole.

    2. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      U C Nketiah? how is it possible?

      1. Alan The Llama
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        Captained Trippier. My whole team returned other than Ramsdale.

    3. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Who have you got, captained?

  14. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Which 3 United and Arsenal players do you plan to have going into their doubles

    Think I will have
    Bruno Rashford Shaw
    Ødegaard Saka White

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Shaw & Shaw
      Ramsdale Øde Nketiah

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        Shaw & Rashford*

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Bruno Rashford Shaw White Odegaard Nketiah

    3. Touré De Force
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Bruno Rashford DeGea/Martinez/AWB (prefer a differential to Shaw)

      Sarah Odegaard Martinelli/Nketiah

      1. Touré De Force
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        *Saka

    4. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      bruno, eriksen, gashford
      ode, saka, nketiah

  15. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Mitro & White > Nketiah & Schär
    For free
    Yaaay
    Nope

    1. squ1rrel
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Not sure about bringing in Newcastle assets in considering BGW 25

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        Maybe Martinez from Manu

    2. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Maybe get Gnonto for dgw22 and Nketiah for dgw23?

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        Sounds Good also

  16. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Brighton only five points behind 4th and still have Man U to play at home and NUFC away...

    1. SamH123
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      5 if they win their game in hand

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        Ya but its Bournemouth at home...

  17. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Good performance from Fernandes?

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Not at all wouldn't get him for double

  18. Bucket Man
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    No there is two weeks till the next game but Wildcard? Only the 1FT

    Kepa
    Trippier, Shaw, White
    KDB, Rashford, Odegaard, Martinelli, Almiron
    Kane, Haaland
    Ward, Greenwood, Paterson, Cancelo

    1. squ1rrel
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Why would you WC this

      1. Bucket Man
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        Ward, White, Cancelo, Martinelli, Almiron, Greenwood. No route to Bruno. About 7 red arrows in a row. Just incredibly frustrated right now was well on course for my best ever season but blown it. Might not be as bad as I think and I might just be being an idiot IDK

        1. squ1rrel
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 12 days ago

          I really wouldn't. Have a similar team here.

          1. Bucket Man
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 12 days ago

            Thanks Squirrel 🙂

    2. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Don't be silly. No WC needed.

      1. Bucket Man
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        Thanks 🙂

  19. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Just watched the game. Saka is the number one Arsenal FPL asset. I am considering Martinelli & Greenwood > Saka & Nketiah

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Ode say hi

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        This

  20. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Love me a bit of FFS beef

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Handbags at 10 time zones.

  21. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Guys, Saka 352 or Nketiah 343?

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Saka.

    2. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Nketiah only striker with great players to assist to him

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        His stats is great and now more confident on finishing, and cheaper, and allowing Mitoma 5th mid

        1. OptimusBlack
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 12 days ago

          Exactly

    3. Touré De Force
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Saka > Nketiah, but why not both?

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        Got Odegaard White already, need restructuring ... maybe later on WC

  22. it lies in the proles
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Most nailed ManU defender after Shaw??

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Varane?

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Varane

    3. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Varane and Martinez are both fairly nailed. Malacia was just playing with Shaw LCB while Martinez was getting fitness.

  23. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Great game by both teams.
    Now hoping for some serious points from Harry and Mitro to save my week.

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      United were great for 60minutes. Started to buckle under the pressure then and just sat deeper and deeper.

  24. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Nketiah
    Ferguson

    i want them both. Consistent and reliable, key in FPL

    1. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Nketiah, Ferguson, Gnonto front 3, orgasmic

  25. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Nice zero pts from Shawberto Carlos

  26. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    76 with Kane, Kulusevski and Mitrovic to play. Happy with that.

  27. BusbySwede
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Martinelli out, Nketiah in? Feels like Trossard get one start in dgw?

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Who are you gonna sell for Nketiah and buy for Martinelli?

      1. BusbySwede
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 11 days ago

        Maybe take a -4 hit.
        First thought was Cancelo, Almiron, Kulusevski out but now im leaning towards Martinelli, Kulusevski, Wilson out and getting Mitoma, Bruno F, Nketiah

  28. squ1rrel
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    How did Eriksen look today?

  29. No Salah
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Almiron to Mitoma tonight?

    Both their prices are about to change

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Nah I'd wait

    2. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Wait 2 weeks before doing any transfer that's my opinion

    3. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Nope. Cup games next and could be injuries.

  30. Lionac
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Anyone other than Rashford and Shaw worth getting for Man Utd double? Somehow seems no one is worth spending transfer for.

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Depends which Bruno turns up

    2. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Nope and ask again to get more answers
