It’s Arsenal v Brighton and Hove Albion up next as we bring you the key Fantasy Premier League (FPL) notes and quotes from Gameweek 3.

RICE TO MISS NORTH LONDON DERBY

Owners of Tottenham Hotspur players may have been buoyed by the sight of Declan Rice (£6.4m) being dismissed in the lunchtime kick-off.

A red card, thanks to a contentious second booking for failing to retreat, rules him out of Gameweek 4’s north London derby. Only once last season did Rice not start a league game, and that was a home match against Luton Town.

“This is what happens. We have other players that can fulfil and we can give an opportunity to someone else.” – Mikel Arteta on being without Declan Rice in Gameweek 4

They at least should have Jurrien Timber (£5.5m) fit. The Dutchman had to be replaced in the second half against Brighton and Hove Albion, prompting fears that he had picked up another issue.

Cramp, Mikel Arteta thinks, was to blame.

“No, he was I think cramping. He got a kick in the first half and was cramping so we had to take him off.” – Mikel Arteta on if Jurrien Timber had picked up an injury
