Fantasy Premier League managers have been welcomed back from the international break with the news that top-scoring defender Gabriel Magalhaes is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines with injury.
To make matters worse, top-scoring midfielder Antoine Semenyo could also miss Bournemouth’s game against West Ham United after suffering an ankle issue.
Manchester City forward Erling Haaland, fresh off guiding Norway to the World Cup, remains a straightforward choice for captaincy despite a 4-FDR clash (Fixture Difficulty Rating) against Newcastle at St. James Park. Chelsea’s Joao Pedro, who scored last time out against Wolverhampton Wanderers, is another contender for the armband as the Blues take on Burnley away.
Manchester United, unbeaten in five league games, takes on Everton at Old Trafford. Midfielders Bruno Fernandes (on set-pieces) and Bryan Mbeumo (goal-scoring form) could be solid options.
Arsenal’s Jurrien Timber will be the automatic choice to replace injured teammate Gabriel. Bournemouth’s Marco Senesi and Crystal Palace’s Daniel Munoz or Marc Guehi are the other favoured defence options.
