There are five more Premier League matches taking place this afternoon, following on from the draw between West Ham United and Chelsea.

There’ll be plenty of attention from Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers on events at the Emirates, where Arsenal’s Double Gameweek begins with a clash against Brentford.

The Gunners are unchanged from their defeat at Everton, so there are starts for Gabriel Martinelli and Ben White after much discussion this week about their game-time.

Opponents Brentford make three changes from last weekend’s win over Southampton as part of their switch to a 3-5-2.

The defensive-minded alterations see Mads Roerslev, Kristoffer Ajer and Vitaly Janelt replace Aaron Hickey, Josh Dasilva and Yoane Wissa.

Above: Ownership and effective ownership stats in the top 10k, via LiveFPL. Five different Arsenal players are owned by more than 40% of these managers.

Arsenal’s north London rivals are also in action, away at Leicester.

Tottenham Hotspur make three changes to their side, two of which are enforced: Fraser Forster comes in for the injured Hugo Lloris, while Japhet Tanganga replaces the suspended Cristian Romero.

New signing Pedro Porro is also promoted to the line-up for his debut, with Emerson Royal benched.

Nampalys Mendy in for the injured Youri Tielemans is Leicester’s only change.

There are five alterations across the two teams in the M23 derby.

James Tomkins and Jean-Philippe Mateta replace Chris Richards and Odsonne Edouard for Palace, while the Seagulls recall Alexis MacAllister, Moises Caicedo and Adam Webster at the expense of Tariq Lamptey, Billy Gilmour and Danny Welbeck.

Evan Ferguson is fit again but only among the substitutes.

At Craven Cottage, Fulham are unchanged for the visit of Nottingham Forest.

Steve Cooper’s two alterations see Serge Aurier and Gustavo Scarpa come in for Neco Williams and Danilo.

Paul Onuachu and Kamaldeen Sulemana make their full Southampton debuts as Nathan Jones makes four changes, with Carlos Alcaraz and Ainsley Maitland-Niles also starting.

Che Adams, Samuel Edozie, Ibrahima Diallo and Mohamed Elyounoussi make way.

Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui makes only one change and it’s an enforced one at that: Hwang Hee-chan is injured, so is replaced by Joao Moutinho.

    Spursy

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

      Winning 4-3 would also be spursy

  2. Arthur Shelby
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Rodgers’ use of Iheanacho over the last 18 months is criminal. Over the only period he was trusted with a regular starting role, he scored a goal a game and was a key part in Leicester winning the FA Cup and narrowly missing out on top 4.

    Promptly axed and never given consistent starts until now (hopefully). Baffling, especially when you consider how poor Vardy and Daka have been

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      It’s the Vardy problem. Club legend, fear of dropping him and moving on. Hits clubs a lot.

      1. Arthur Shelby
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Thing is, they worked brilliantly together in a 3-5-2. Madders behind Nacho and Vardy was dynamite. Rodgers’ insistence on playing one up top with two wide players, when they by his own recent admission didn’t have a decent option on the right until Tete’s arrival, is plain dumb

    2. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Hopefully he keeps his place now but you know as soon as he goes a game without a goal he'll start daka in next game

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

    The end Arsenal are attacking now might help White make 60 mins if subbed near it but Martinelli would be toast!

  4. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Too early for Felix or are you considering getting him?

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Scored from a low percentage situation and Chelsea dont look good going forward

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

      Not going to rush given I've got other areas (blankers) to focus on but potentially for an Nketiah replacement after 25.

      He looked good today. Scored. Took some corners and a direct free kick. Those are good signs.

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

      One to monitor & potentially nketiah replacement when Jesus is back

    4. Scalper
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Like Felix, but with BGW/DGWs coming up, bigger opportunities elsewhere

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        What strikers appeal to you considering those blanks and doubles?

  5. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Bueno on for RAN at HT!

  6. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Bueno back in the team, he’s needed for 25

  7. Fred54
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    The nervous wait for us Martinelli owners, will it be 1 point or 3. Or it could be 2. Maybe even 5, 7 or 15.

    1. Scalper
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Don’t forget 6 and 8

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Fried Onion Rings?

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

    Raya denies Saka G Xhaka A

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

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

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

  9. Mr. O'Connell

      2 years, 9 months ago

      Haven't noticed this tbh

  11. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Will Arsenal make a sub before 60?

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Trossard on for Martinelli pre 60 a strong possibility

  12. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    What is your priority transfer for GW24?

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

      Saving one.

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

      Absolutely nothing
      Saving

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      2FT, will use for Patterson out 😛

    4. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      None, saving FT for 25

    5. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Got 2 options on the bench at the minute so hopefully saving

    6. sulldaddy
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Prob also saving

  13. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Mitro’s has a better touch with his chest than his feet

    1. Scalper
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Should start an OnlyFans… sorry had to

  14. Red Star Toro
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Nketiah seemed to have some muscular pain but he’s better now I guess

  15. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Willian woodwork, Andreas assist

  16. Scalper
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Admittedly, I’ve watching only 3 games of Mitoma, but everytime he gets on the ball he looks really good. Just hasn’t been getting the ball that much this game and playing quite wide as well. Wonder how he’d do at CAM

  17. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    It’s going to be a bad gameweek…

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years

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

      Was thinking same, no Kepa cs, nothing from the ars boys, same from Kane Kulu
      Let’s hope this changes in next half hour

    4. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      6 from 6 currently

  18. FCHaalandaise
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    I have triple arsenal attack and thus no def.

    Rivals one or double def

    Losing this battle.

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

      Plenty of time left

  19. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    You know it’s been a bad afternoon (so far) when third on your bench Castagne is you only points scorer.

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      You know it’s been a bad afternoon (so far) when third on your bench Beuno and you need his 1-2 points in DBGW25...

    1. Bobby Digital

    • 3 Years
