Predicted lineups for ALL 20 Premier League teams: Gameweek 3

Doing the research so you don’t have to! 👨‍💻

91% accuracy last Gameweek ✅

🟢🟡🟠🔴 = Likelihood of a start

(%) = Accuracy on previous predictions

🆕 = New players in the lineup

⚠️ = Concerns


ARSENAL: (91%)

🆕 Eze

⚠️ White, Saka, Odegaard, Havertz, Norgaard

The quality of Eze leans fans to believe he will start at Anfield, but could of course be Martinelli given his good track record.

Madueke to fill in for Saka.

Predicting Odegaard to be ok for this one.


ASTON VILLA: (82%)

🆕 Guessand, Malen, Konsa, Maatsen

⚠️ Kamara, Onana, Barkley

With both Kamara and Onana out FPL managers might finally get what they want.

McGinn to drop into midfield, Rogers in the #10, and Guessand + Malen on the wings.

Usual coin tosses in defence.


BOURNEMOUTH: (100%)

⚠️ Araujo, Cook

Unchanged.

Kluivert and Christie both played midweek, they should be returning to the starting lineup very soon.


BRENTFORD: (91%)

⚠️ Janelt

Unchanged.

Straightforward from Brentford, contention in the fullback spots but should be an unchanged side given the great performance vs Villa.


BRIGHTON: (91%)

⚠️ Georginio, Webster, March, Enciso

Unchanged.

A total coin toss whether Rutter will be fit or not, Hurzeler won’t give us anything definitive.

Other than that, more of the same, but careful, Brighton love a random benching don’t they.


BURNLEY: (91%)

⚠️ Roberts, Jordan

Unchanged.

Ugochukwu was forced off last weekend, but has trained so will hopefully start.

Broja, Humphreys and Tuanzebe are all in contention now.


CHELSEA: (86%)

🆕 James

⚠️ Colwill, Badiashile, Planer, Nkunku, Lavia, Jackson

Only change I’ve gone for is James over Gusto.

With Palmer out, it’s likely Joao Pedro fills in at #10 again.

Neto looks good for minutes, and I think Estevao should start again on the right over Gittens on the left.


CRYSTAL PALACE: (100%)
