Caught your breath back from that Manchester City v Arsenal clash yet? The Premier League well and truly sparked into life last weekend as two title rivals played out a fiery 2-2 draw that saw the home side dramatically nick a point at the death.
There have been a fair few midweek fixtures too as clubs have been playing in the Europa League or Carabao Cup.
Another weekend means another Fantasy Premier League (FPL) gameweek and for each one, we'll be keeping you up-to-date with all the latest that's going on, including transfers while the windows are open, injury news, suspensions, who's playing who and our own FPL picks and transfers too.
Each gameweek, this is a comprehensive guide to players who are out or are a doubt for each club in the order they appear for their club in FPL.
If they have a knock and a chance of playing, this will be reflected (if they have a 75 per cent chance of playing, the number will be by their name in brackets, the same for 50 per cent chance and so on), otherwise they are ruled out.
Arsenal - David Raya (75), Oleksander Zinchenko, Kieran Tierney, Tomiyasu Takehiro, Martin Odegaard, Mikel Merino
Aston Villa - Matty Cash (50), Diego Carlos (75), Tyrone Mings, John McGinn (25), Jaden Philogene, Boubacar Kamara (25)
Bournemouth - Tyler Adams
Brentford - Rico Henry, Aaron Hickey, Matthias Jensen, Christian Norgaard (75), Josh Dasilva, Gustavo Nunes, Yoane Wissa, Igor Thiago
Brighton - James Milner (50), Solly March, Brajan Gruda (50), Matt O’Riley, Joao Pedro
Chelsea - Reece James, Romeo Lavia (50), Omari Kellyman
Even though it's early in the season, some players have already picked up suspensions or are ineligible to face their parent club after joining a different team on loan.
Nottingham Forest - Morgan Gibbs-White
Southampton - Jack Stephens
West Ham United - Edson Alvarez

FPL Gameweek 6 picks - Indy100 FPL team update
It's all change because as promised, Indy100 has taken the plunge and is using its Wildcard.
Robert Sanchez, Mark Flekken, Gabriel, Noussair Mazraoui, Leif Davis, Bukayo Saka, Bryan Mbuemo, Chris Wood and Dominic Calvert-Lewin are all in.
Dean Henderson, Alphonse Areola, Andrew Robertson, Dan Burn, Ezri Konsa, Noni Madueke, Gabriel Martinelli, Alexander Isak and Dominic Solanke have all been transferred out.
Indy100 thinks this is the time to go big on Arsenal with a favourable run of fixtures in the next three games.
Brentford have a good run too with no fixture with a difficulty rating of four out of five until the start of December, so a couple of key players here have been invested in, including Mbuemo who's likely to be the main man with Yoane Wissa injured.
Chelsea have a couple of games coming up where they could keep clean sheets which is why Sanchez is in, Mazraoui may prove to be a steal at £4.6m, Ipswich have a favourable run of fixtures too which is why Davis comes in, Wood is in fine form for Nottingham Forest who have a fairly decent run and although Everton are in the relegation zone, they've got a good run coming up too and Calvert-Lewin, if he stays fit, will hopefully be key for them.
Transfers are being saved up with Chelsea having a difficult run after the Nottingham Forest game and Arsenal having three tricky matches in a row after the next three in mind.
It also gives a chance to react to any injuries.
