Friday night sees league-leaders Arsenal host bottom-of-the-table Southampton as Gameweek 32 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) gets underway.

Kick-off is at 20:00 BST.

There is a huge amount of interest in this match for FPL managers, particularly those who have tripled up on a Free Hit. The good news is that all of the key Arsenal assets start, including Oleksandr Zinchenko, who had been nursing a groin issue. That means Kieran Tierney drops to the bench.

Elsewhere, Granit Xhaka misses out through illness and is replaced in the starting XI by Fabio Vieira, who joins Thomas Partey and Martin Odegaard in the engine room. Further forward, Gabriel Jesus is flanked by Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.

As for Saints, Ruben Selles makes three changes to the side beaten by Crystal Palace in Gameweek 31, as Romain Perraud, Mohamed Elyounoussi and Adam Armstrong come in for Ainsley Maitland-Niles – who is ineligible to face his parent club – Kalmaldeen Sulemana and Joe Aribo.

GAMEWEEK 32 LINE-UPS

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, White, Holding, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Partey, Odegaard, Vieira, Saka, Martinelli, Jesus

  18. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Wish I hadn't switched the armband this afternoon from Saka to Martinelli. Gutted...!!!

    1. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Well you’ve barely lost any points there so gutted is a massive over reaction.

  19. A. PRISE
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Let's be honest, if it was City instead of Arsenal, they would be given 3 penalties

    1. Riverside Red
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

  21. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Got away with no Saka

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Did you?

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Could have had 30 points

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          True

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Jesus man

      You have none of them

      Well done

      Watkins non captain next?

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Odegaard. And yeah, no Watkins.

  22. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Arsenal players have given it all.

    How much will recovery be an issue for their game against City?

  23. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Saka 3, Martinelli 2, Alcaraz 1

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Sweet

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Jesus

        Free hit mucked up

        1. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          At least you didn’t go Gabriel over White, killer

  24. FantasyTony
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Think a draw is as good as a loss for both sides. Great game though.

    Well done to the arse for getting back into it.

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Weird for Soton. Before the game getting a point is a great result. 3-1 up with mere minutes to play, it feels like a loss

  25. pundit of punts
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    White has been such an unreal pick for me on WC in GW 25.

    Winning again against Jesus and Gabriel owners

    What a hero!

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Wow, you have White + Saka + Martinelli and are not on FH and probably outscoring them!

      1. pundit of punts
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Fingers crossed

  26. Gudjohnsen
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Took a hít for Salah and changed the armband to Salah from Saka.

    Could end in disaster

    Yasssss Bottlers FC
    Lovely

  28. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Do one Jesus

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      If he can walk on water he can score after FT

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I'm confused thought you said you said Jesus was so bad

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        I did?

          1. Bubz
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            I don’t understand what you’re saying

            1. Dynamic Duos
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 8 months ago

              If he is so bad why do you have him?

              1. Bubz
                • 12 Years
                2 years, 8 months ago

                Because I’m on a free hit and he played the team bottom of the league at home

                1. Dynamic Duos
                  • 12 Years
                  2 years, 8 months ago

                  Lots of freehit teams don't have him, because he is bad, yet you know this and still have him, great move

                  1. Bubz
                    • 12 Years
                    2 years, 8 months ago

                    You’re a strange guy

                    1. Dynamic Duos
                      • 12 Years
                      2 years, 8 months ago

                      Your team looks alot like the scout picks, so I suppose you can blame them

                      1. Bubz
                        • 12 Years
                        2 years, 8 months ago

                        I see you don’t share your team link… I can imagine why 😆

                      2. Dynamic Duos
                        • 12 Years
                        2 years, 8 months ago

                        Couldn't figure out how to add it , I normally have it on. I'm having a bad season for sure. Maybe I should just copy the scout picks like you

                      3. Bubz
                        • 12 Years
                        2 years, 8 months ago

                        What’s your team ID? Lets compare our rank histories 🙂

                      4. Dynamic Duos
                        • 12 Years
                        2 years, 8 months ago

                        Not really accurate is it when someone else does your team

                      5. Bubz
                        • 12 Years
                        2 years, 8 months ago

                        How many top 1k finishes do you have? None? Thought so 😆

                      6. Dynamic Duos
                        • 12 Years
                        2 years, 8 months ago

                        Yeah I have none I'm not as good as the scouts

                      7. Bubz
                        • 12 Years
                        2 years, 8 months ago

                        Sounds like you don’t really know what you’re talking about then

                      8. Dynamic Duos
                        • 12 Years
                        2 years, 8 months ago

                        What you mean ? It is pretty simple you bought a bad player intentionally unless was just messing about or you copy and paste the scout picks

                      9. Dynamic Duos
                        • 12 Years
                        2 years, 8 months ago

                        You*

                      10. Bubz
                        • 12 Years
                        2 years, 8 months ago

                        Not sure why you’re so obsessed with my moves. Maybe you could copy me though? Might improve your rank?

                      11. Dynamic Duos
                        • 12 Years
                        2 years, 8 months ago

                        Have you won it?

                      12. Bubz
                        • 12 Years
                        2 years, 8 months ago

                        My team is linked

                      13. Dynamic Duos
                        • 12 Years
                        2 years, 8 months ago

                        No you haven't won , so why I copy you? Surely I copy someone that has won it or copy Fabio or someone like that

                      14. Bubz
                        • 12 Years
                        2 years, 8 months ago

                        This shows me you don’t understand fpl

                      15. Dynamic Duos
                        • 12 Years
                        2 years, 8 months ago

                        You've lost me , copy you over Fabio ? Now you are getting delusions of grandeur

                      16. Dynamic Duos
                        • 12 Years
                        2 years, 8 months ago

                        But tbh the game is just abit of fun

                      17. Bubz
                        • 12 Years
                        2 years, 8 months ago

                        You think you have to have won fpl to be good at fpl. Pretty silly thing to think.

                      18. Dynamic Duos
                        • 12 Years
                        2 years, 8 months ago

                        So the game is luck

                      19. Dynamic Duos
                        • 12 Years
                        2 years, 8 months ago

                        Sorry misread that , I mean their is plenty of players better than you, so you wouldn't be the player to copy, sorry to burst your bubble

                      20. Dynamic Duos
                        • 12 Years
                        2 years, 8 months ago

                        Plus your only as good as your last season and I beat you

                      21. Bubz
                        • 12 Years
                        2 years, 8 months ago

                        Yes, last season was my worst season in 10 years… 40k… I must be terrible now 🙁

                        My point was that you’re saying I just copy the scout picks, which is a completely bizarre thing to say to someone with my rank history. Clearly that’s not what I do.

  29. Old Bull
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Well I did say on here if Southampton scored first it would spook Arsenal. Don’t think that was really the case though, it just meant they were chasing from the off. No more Arsenal defenders for me.

  30. Kane and Ablett
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Delighted with my Arsenal midfield triple up the past couple of weeks…. But which one do I keep after my wc?

    1. AgentRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah same, it’s been a huge rank gainer. I think I’d keep Martinelli of all of them on current form but tbh I’m not in a rush to transfer any of them out. Odegaard would probably go first of the three.
