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.

      They’re probably just saving themsleves for City play offs.

      1. The Senate
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Should be a good game, I do expect Arsenal to win that

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

      Only 2 bad games, still 6 points clear

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        5 points lost against Everton and Brentford is a minor crisis

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

          Definitely, if that doesn’t get the nerves jangling a defeat to City certainly will. Q

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

          That doesn’t change the fact we’re 6 points clear

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

        Citeh win next 2 they will be level on points.

    3. Zalk
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      It's not like city lost to Brentford or anything...

  2. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Surely Oddegard needs to be taking that last FK, not Viera

    1. gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Couldnt believe that. Woeful cross.

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

        That awful goatee along with that abomination of a last minute set piece are sackable offences.

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

    This could not have gone worse

    1. Sold Toney for Nketiah
    2. March first on bench

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

      I did the first one, but these thing s just happen.

    2. Rudi Van Disarzio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Kept Toney but benched him, sold Andreas bought Mitoma

  4. FPL Bond @ Twitter
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Maddison + Nacho double up essential..

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

    NEW for the title! 😛

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I would love that

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

    Fulham, one of the favourites for the drop, are now one win off the traditional safety score.

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Silva is doing a very good job for them.

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

      Marco Silva has done superb. Hope Mitrovic starts scoring again though

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Should win manager of the season if they stay in the European places but they'll probably just give it to Arteta.

    3. snow pea in repose

      Ream

  7. Jordan.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    12 -4 from 6,down to 3.4 million,awful awful season

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

    Funny how Leicester are good again as soon as Maddison comes back into the team.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Why is that funny?

    2. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      How funny?

  9. Hairy Potter
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Oh dear, Graham "I hate Newcastle because I was a bad manager for them" Souness and Kieran "Has anyone seen my brain cell" Dyer on Sky for the Bournemouth vs Newcastle game.

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

    I'll swallow my pride & say how surprised I am at that Kane blank.

    Lloris & Romero an important part of the spine perhaps.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Without a doubt. Big mistake starting Tanganga over Sanchez

  11. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    It feels life Leicester and Spurs are forever taking revenge on one another with massive scorelines

  12. Bigbars
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    so far glad i didnt jump on the dgw.
    no wilson!! glad i had almiron on the first sub on bench, but cant believe last week, i started raya instead of kepa, lost his 10 pointer, swapped it around thinking arsenal would win well, and raya on for bonus and save points...

    those are the fpl breaks. good luck everyone

  13. Gudjohnsen
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Should have doubled up on Newcastle defence instead of gettihg Zinhcenko

  14. Total Slotball
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Fulham pulling clear of Liverpool in February.Imagine saying that in August

  15. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Again like last week, Arsenal get the GW off to a bad start. Finally got the Arsenal attack triple up last week but just one assist from 2 games. Absolutely dreadful. Ivan Toney is just so effing annoying.

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

    This Bakar guy with the Twitter threads was talking all week about how Nketiah will feast vs Brentford. Because they concede the most chances from the center. He didn’t mention though that they have conceded the least goals in the league since restart
    FPL was gold before content creators

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

      Btw Nketiah had 0 shots itb

      1. Well you know, Triffic
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Think he doesn't watch games and just relies on the data. Pinnock is a beast at the back. Strong, quick and can head the ball.

    2. Total Slotball
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Pinnock did a job on him

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

      Sometimes it is useful. However you'll find so many don't actually watch the players/games. It's hard to spend all that time, I get it, but always take with a pinch of salt.

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

      I think people create their own narratives far too much. You have many on here and Twitter saying how Jesus will have to fight hard to get his place back or may not get back in straight away, as Nketiah has been great. But regardless of how Nketiah does, Jesus will be straight back in the team once he’s match fit, because he’s a far, far superior player

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Wait a minute... are you telling me that Nketiah isn't some hybrid of Henry, R9 and Batistuta like I've been reading and hearing lately???

    5. JBG
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I thought to myself during that match, that. Anything these "experts" endorse, do the opposite. Now I didn't go for Nketiah myself, but still. Lately these experts have been way more miss than hit, with these tips and advices.

    6. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Probably low xG chances through the middle. That is why Raya hoovers the saves and BPS

    7. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      He is pure sht

    8. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I never listen to anything Bakar says tbh. Lateriser is gold, Zophar is okay although I don't tend to agree with some. Bakar, no chance.

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

        LR is my fav too

      2. chocolove
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Zophar Bakar is just rank hogger all the time. So scared from going off template.
        Lateriser full of Man United BS, Martial, suck.

        1. FPL Brains
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah you gotta take that with a pinch of salt.

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

      I did like the:

      "Those numbers are mental. The only player who comes remotely close is Haaland!

      Nunez should be locked into every team, especially with Jota/Diaz out. Steal at £9.0m"

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

        Hahahah crazy

    10. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      He doesn't watch games, all he talks about are stats, so sometimes he lacks a bit of context. This wasn't the greatest matchup for Nketiah, may have more joy against City

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

      FPL content creators are there to influence. Don’t let them influence you if you don’t believe in what they say.

    12. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      The guy's only had three good finishes in 12 years of playing

      1. Shark Team
        • 8 Years

        Lol, didn’t know that he was that bad

    13. Darth_Krid

      Fewest*

  17. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Is Tim Ream the highest scoring defender since the World Cup? 😀

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

    Only good thing I did this week was keeping white & not take the hit to Gabriel

    Was tempted

  19. tryf88
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    -4 to watch Toney from the bench

  20. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    That Porro debut worked out well.

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

      Aptly named.

  21. JBG
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    The way Ramsdale dove for the ball before Toney score was just comical and lovely to watch, even as a owner.

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

      Just seen a still of it, looks like a cartoon.

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

      It was the strangest attempt to stop the ball. A mini hand flap without extending his arms properly. If he is going to bail from his safer position at least make a real attempt to stop the ball.

  22. chocolove
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Terrible dgw

  23. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Bench has absolutely hauled this week

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

      And worse part is it's only on 8 points..

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

        17. Probs would have BBd if Bueno was more nailed.

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

      9 from 2 on bench
      10 from 5 from my team

  24. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    I talked myself out of TC’ing Haaland, so let’s see how that works out tomorrow.

  25. Hairy Potter
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Newcastle's midfield really missed Bruno G last week. Shuffling around Joelinton, Longstaff and Willock disrupted some of the play and understanding on the pitch. I hope a week of training will help with a bit more fluidity in attacking positions. Looking forward to seeing Isak back in the starting lineup.

  26. Riverside Red
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone beat 12 pts for 6 players...hopefully everyone else in the mud.

  27. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Green Arrow with 14 points from 5!

    At least Ben White probably put in good enough performance to start v City

  28. Rhodes your boat
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Score check, 12 from 4 here… benched toney last minute but it is what it is

  29. Hazz

    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    More bad news for Spurs

    https://twitter.com/pokeefe1/status/1624455696510029825

    Tottenham face an anxious wait on Bentancur. The fear is either an acl or mcl rupture. Horrendous

  30. Tonyawesome69
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Isak playing CF might be positive for folks that still own Almiron
