With no early kick-off to start proceedings, Gameweek 24 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) begins with three matches at 3pm GMT.

TEAM NEWS

After making wholesale changes for the UEFA Champions League dead rubber against Kairat Almaty, Mikel Arteta mostly reverts to the side he sent out in Gameweek 23.

There are two changes from that XI, however, one of which sees Viktor Gyokeres reclaim the striker’s slot. Gabriel Jesus makes way.

The other alteration is more eyebrow-raising, with captain Martin Odegaard dropping down to the bench and Kai Havertz making his first Premier League start in a year.

Jurrien Timber and William Saliba start after their midweek niggles.

Daniel Farke’s one tweak from Monday sees Gabriel Gudmundsson return from injury. Sebastiaan Bornauw drops to the bench, with James Justin moving to centre-half.

At the Amex, Fabian Hurzeler recalls Georginio Rutter and Maxim De Cuyper. Olivier Boscagli drops down to substitute duty as Diego Gomez misses out through injury.

As for Everton, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Jarrad Branthwaite return to the line-up for the first time after their respective injuries. Michael Keane is also back from a three-match suspension in a centre-back-heavy XI.

Nathan Patterson and Dwight McNeil are benched, while Vitaliy Mykolenko misses out altogether.

Bournemouth are unchanged for their trip to Molineux.

January signings Rayan and Alex Toth are among the Cherries’ substitutes.

The hosts have the supposedly exit-bound Jorgen Strand Larsen on the bench once again as Rob Edwards makes three changes.

Rodrigo Gomes, Emmanuel Agbadou and Tolu Arokodare come in, replacing Jackson Tchatchoua, Jhon Arias and the ill Ladislav Krejci.

    Jesus destroyed Timber A after failing to score from what would have been Rice A.

    Imagine if Munoz was Arsenal's rb, he would be beyond essential

    will come of bench for Saka

    1. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      2 days, 1 hour ago

      He scored a goal which was ruled out and was apparently threatening 1st half

  10. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    2 days, 1 hour ago

    So funny that McClaren got umbrellas banned from sidelines so now the manager stand there looking like drowned rats

  11. Philosopher's Stones
    • 5 Years
    2 days, 1 hour ago

    Have to say the advices on here were partially correct. Mane does last more than Kroupi.

    1. fantasist

  21. jacob1989
    • 3 Years
    2 days, 1 hour ago

    4 goals by arsenal but none by popular arsenal assets

  22. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 days, 1 hour ago

    Naturally Jesus scores when A is not given by Rice or Timber.

  23. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    2 days, 1 hour ago

    Wasn't a set piece

  24. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    2 days, 1 hour ago

  26. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    2 days, 1 hour ago

    Of course now you score useless trashbin. Why dont you convert Rice or Timber A instead

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      2 days, 1 hour ago

      Cope

  27. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    2 days, 1 hour ago

    Rayan A

    New boy is here

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      2 days, 1 hour ago

      Classy goal from Bournemouth

  28. Mighty Duck
    • 1 Year
    2 days, 1 hour ago

    Where are Rice's points?

  29. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 days, 1 hour ago

    Is Evanilson at least involved in the celebrations?

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 days, 1 hour ago

      Subbed off minutes before, so maybe on the bench

  30. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 days, 1 hour ago

    Arsenal's next 3 potential fixtures are against Sunderland, Brentford and Wolves. About as good as it gets.

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 days, 1 hour ago

      After scoring 4 goals, it must be nice to have an attacker from them
