The Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 3 deadline is on August 30 at 3:30 pm IST (11:00 am BST).
This weekend’s key match is between title rivals Arsenal and Liverpool. FPL managers may hesitate to choose players from either team, particularly for captaincy. Notable top scorers include Ricardo Calafiori, Jurien Timber, and Hugo Ekitike, but it might be wise to wait another Gameweek before adding them to your lineup.
After their surprising defeat to League Two’s Grimsby Town in the League Cup, Manchester United aims to recover when they face Burnley. Burnley’s struggle to score could present a solid chance for United’s defenders to earn clean sheet points.
Bruno Fernandes continues to be a key pick for United, known for his set pieces and penalty kicks. Tijjani Reijnders is an affordable choice among Manchester City players as they play Brighton and Hove Albion.
Chris Wood from Nottingham Forest looks to exploit a favorable matchup against West Ham United. With Cole Palmer not fully fit, Joao Pedro stands out as Chelsea’s best pick.
