FPL Gameweek 3 Results: Sunday's Top Scores And Talking Points
The call — GW3, September 6: Ødegaard tops the day, no clean sheets anywhere Martin Ødegaard scored, took maximum bonus and came off after 76 minutes. Ten points. It was the top return of the day and the captain pick in hindsight. Arsenal beat Chelsea 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium; Everton and Man Utd drew 2-2 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea. Havertz scored and added two bonus for eight points in 77 minutes. Tzolis assisted across 90 minutes. Rice assisted across 90 minutes. Rogers scored Chelsea's goal — six points, 86 minutes, no bonus. Konsa played 90 for Arsenal and returned four points. No clean sheet on either side.
Everton 2-2 Man Utd. George matched Ødegaard's ten — a goal, three bonus, the full 90 for Everton. Mainoo assisted in 83 minutes for nine points with two bonus. Mbeumo scored, played 90, took one bonus — eight points. Šeško came on and scored inside 20 minutes for five. Maitland-Niles came off the bench, played 13 minutes and scored — seven points, and the top defender return of the day. Shaw assisted across 90 for four.
What it means for your team. Four defenders and keepers across these fixtures returned attacking points; none returned a clean sheet. Both matches finished with goals at both ends. Managers holding Everton or Man Utd defence had one route to points on the day — a goal or an assist — and Maitland-Niles and Shaw were the only two who found it.
Šeško's goal came in 20 minutes. Maitland-Niles' goal came in 13. Neither started. That is the fact; minutes decide whether the return repeats, and minutes are not confirmed by anyone yet.
The call. Ødegaard scored, took full bonus and was managed to 76 minutes in a win. He was the captain answer on the day and he starts in any side that owns him. George and Mainoo returned as starters and start again where owned. Maitland-Niles and Šeško scored off the bench — 13 and 20 minutes played. Until a manager names them in an XI, they are bench options in your squad, not starters. Play the men who played: Ødegaard first, and captain-grade on this evidence.
