Scouting the Doubles – Arsenal
Filed under: Scouting The Doubles - Posted by: Paul
A 2-0 home loss at the hands of the champions was hardly the ideal preparation for Arsenal ahead of their double Gameweek. Sitting in sixth place in the Premier League, Arsene Wenger’s side are 21 points off the summit and brace themselves for a pair of all-London fixtures, as they roll up to the Bridge next Sunday before entertaining West Ham at the Emirates the following Wednesday.
Prior to discussing their potential, it’s also worth noting Arsenal’s fixtures following on from the double. Wenger’s side then have three home games in four (LIV, STO, sun, AVL) which are likely to offer them further chance to benefit – a factor which could well be crucial when weighing up any acquisitions. Our upcoming “Frisking the Fixtures” article attests to that, highlighting the value of snapping up the Gunners’ main assets not only for this Gameweek but over the next few as well.
The Prospects
An opening trip to Chelsea will afford Wenger a degree of optimism, given that the majority of the Blues’ home performances have been somewhat lethargic under Rafa Benitez. A total of 14 goals in six games in all competitions at the Bridge sounds reasonable but all those strikes have come in two matches – aside from the 8-0 hammering of Villa in Gameweek 18 and a 6-1 demolition of Champions League whipping boys FC Nordsjælland, the Blues have drawn blanks four times. Outside of the Emirates, Arsenal have been defensively strong – a total of nine goals against is joint-top for least goals conceded of any away side so far, with four clean sheets also accrued on their travels. A return of 15 goals scored over 11 road trips is a little worrying for their Fantasy owners, though.
Of the two games, the midweek match against the Hammers is the one that Fantasy managers will be targeting as their main source of points. Similar to Chelsea, Wenger’s side have been erratic at home but have shown they are more than capable of harvesting goals in any given Gameweek – they’ve hit five past Spurs, six past Southampton and seven past Newcastle at the Emirates. On the other hand, Arsenal have either notched once or failed to score in five of their 10 home games. At the back, their clean sheet prospects will be boosted by West Ham’s dire away form; Sam Allardyce’s side have scored just five times on the road and while they arrive on the back of a 3-0 hammering at Sunderland, they tend to keep it tight on their travels and have conceded more than a single goal in just four of their 10 away games so far.
The Likely Lads
Theo Walcott has already racked up over 20,000 transfers in ahead of the double – twice the number of any other Gunners asset. A move to the lone forward role has boosted Walcott’s appeal and with attacking returns in seven of his last nine, he’s been the most consistent Arsenal performer in recent months; a price of 9.1 looks set to rise, though Wenger’s side have still to come through a midweek FA Cup home replay with Swansea unscathed.
Santi Cazorla sits fourth in the midfielder standings; an indication of his impact in his debut season at the Emirates. In comparison to Walcott, he has scored or assisted in just three of the last nine, though – his returns have been far more erratic but a 23 point haul at Reading in Gameweek 17 (one of three sets of double figures) highlights his capabilities.
Lukas Podolski looks the safest forward in terms of game time. The German international has started all but two of his side’s matches so far but a role on the left of the attacking midfield three has somewhat limited his returns. The absence of Mikel Arteta means the role of penalty-taker is up for grabs – according to quotes from Wenger, Podolski is next in line, followed by Walcott, then Cazorla. Priced at 8.2, many are looking at swapping out Demba Ba for Podolksi after Chelsea’s double. While Olivier Giroud is similarly priced, the Frenchman has failed to start since Gameweek 16 and is likely to rely on time off the bench to make any sort of impact.
From an attacking perspective, Kieran Gibbs has been the most impressive in defence. The 5.6 priced left-back has registered five assists so far and looks a guaranteed starter over the pair of fixtures – Wenger’s decision to select Laurent Koscielny ahead of Per Mertesacker casts doubt over his preferred central defensive pairing heading into the weekend deadline; Koscielny will sit out a one-match suspension against the Swans on Wednesday, affording the German the chance to slot in alongside Thomas Vermaelen once again. While the Belgian and Bacary Sagna have both produced the goods in seasons gone by, neither player has any attacking returns to their name this term, suggesting their acquisition comes with a risk attached.
Wojciech Szczesny looks a safe bet heading into the pair of fixtures. The stopper has averaged four points per game so far – second only to Gibbs’ 4.3 ppg at the back – and at 5.3 offers a cheaper defensive alternative to the left-back.
Cheeky Punt
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has started the last six league matches and seems to have cemented a role on the right as a result of Walcott’s move up top. Coming in at 7.2 in FPL, the youngster has less than 1% ownership and has scored or assisted in two of his last three at the Emirates – the one blank came on Sunday, when he was sacrificed for Mertesacker after 11 minutes, following Koscielny’s dismissal against City.
Our final selection doesn’t come without substantial risk. Indeed, by the time you’ve finished reading this very sentence, Abou Diaby could have sustained another one of his injuries but the Frenchman looks the obvious deputy for Arteta alongside Jack Wilshere in the double-pivot. At 6.1 in FPL, he’s the cheapest of Wenger’s likely midfield starters over the pair of fixtures and his marauding runs from deep could come to fruition, providing he manages to avoid any problems over the next few days.

“I love to attack and I love to go up front...It is a little more difficult than when you are playing centre-back. If you play the way that I want to play, I think my influence is better as a left-back. For the team, it is best that I play as a centre-back. I like to bring the ball out. You need to move the game quickly, and that is one of my qualities as well.”

Sturridge, Dzeko, Lukaku, P Cisse… so many potentially Ba replacements…
I don’t know about Podolski though.
January 14 at 7:09 pm
Lebanese Lalous says:
Podolski would be a one week punt.
Monitor the Sturridge situation IMO.
January 14 at 7:09 pm
leeroyB says:
Lukaku for this week I reckon. Villa are flippin woeful (unless their at Anfield)
January 14 at 7:09 pm
La Roja says:
Lukaku out of that lot.
January 14 at 7:10 pm
JKisthe1 - A Founder of Berbism says:
I would only buy Pod if I still had a wc available (which I do). Long term I’d want Sturridge of out that lot I think, Lukaku and Dzeko not nailed on, Cisse has no form. You’re overlooking Fletcher and Lambert IMO though
January 14 at 7:11 pm
nip says:
getting rid of Ba so soon after his transfer may be a mistake
January 14 at 7:18 pm
Chelsea Harbour says:
good post. he will be an inspired man for next month or more
January 14 at 7:17 pm
Chelsea Harbour says:
so many of them worse than sideways. Assume already got Mata. No reason to panic on Ba release, going to get plenty of football. Torres will be allowed to help win a Europa and play all the cup games… Ba in line for plenty of starts and minutes for top 3 club
January 14 at 7:23 pm
Ancelotti's Eyebrow says:
Ba being cuptied for Europa will help in due course, but first Sparta game isn’t until mid February. Still expect him to get plenty of playing time in the interim, just not every minute of every game.
January 14 at 7:23 pm
seantbn AZ Alkmaar says:
good point , ba will be cup tied in europe, wont he ?
January 14 at 7:28 pm
Chelsea Harbour says:
yep. he’s cup tied.
January 14 at 7:30 pm
nip says:
Think Rafa will only bring on Torres once the game is won. Ba should get the starts and maybe the lions share of the strikers goals, at least for the next few weeks.
January 14 at 7:10 pm
Krisbee says:
How about Lambert and Ba to Sturidge and Podolski for a -4 and bench bale? Crazy?
January 14 at 7:11 pm
Krisbee says:
Or could do Tevez instead of Podolski and keep him for a bit!
January 14 at 7:15 pm
Spencer says:
Enough cash to do just Lambert -> Pod?
That’s my move this week.
January 14 at 7:20 pm
Chelsea Harbour says:
Pod 120-130mins. Lambert at home and Sturidge is average and not guaranteed 90. Don’t like it for a hit
January 14 at 7:27 pm
nip says:
It’s very early to be banking on Sturidge to be a credible FF option. Wait and see how Rogers integrates him over the next few weeks first
January 14 at 7:10 pm
Giggsy11 says:
How does it look?
Bunn/Bego
Zaba/Azpi/Sagna/Demel/Harte
Michu/Bale/Mata/Fellaini/Walcott
RVP/Suarez/Pog
WIll play Santi this week instead of Bale.
January 14 at 7:14 pm
leeroyB says:
Is Harte nailed on to play from now on? Azpi might get dropped when Terry’s back?
Can’t argue with the front 8!
January 14 at 7:23 pm
Giggsy11 says:
I think he is. Got 0.4 in the bank for an upgrade though.
January 14 at 7:21 pm
silverwood says:
Bale lives for the big games, I can’t bring myself to shipping him out at home against UTD, I’m stuck with some poor poor decisions earlier in season and really only bale and mata able to swap for this GW for Walcott
January 14 at 7:24 pm
Giggsy11 says:
True that but don’t want to miss out on DGW.
January 14 at 7:22 pm
Chelsea Harbour says:
Great side. Maybe a pog upgrade through an Azpi to Wilson style move. Or Harte to Wilson, Azpi to Davies,, Pog upgrade.
Incredibly templatey, but most sides wont be able to afford 3 good strikers
January 14 at 7:26 pm
Giggsy11 says:
Any alternative u have in mind for Pog? Initially I was going with Ruiz but thn I realized if I’m hardly ever gonna play him thn what’s the point of spending all that money on him so spent that on def.
January 14 at 7:32 pm
Chelsea Harbour says:
ok, going to play power 5 as fixture proof then?
i have the same 5, but trying to get a bomb front 3 and bench the likes of fellaini and walcott at times as i don’t see them as certainty for points every week. case in point Walcott this week

I was wondering how this WC thing works… If I for example make three transfers today and then play my WC later this this week, will I then get minus points or will the WC cover all my changes I make this week?
January 14 at 7:12 pm
Sporting ABG says:
the WC makes it all good.
January 14 at 7:13 pm
Peteex says:
So there is then a change to benefit the price changes of players all week? Sounds nice.

Would a Fletcher and AJ Sunderland double-up be a bit too much?
January 14 at 7:21 pm

I would say so. Even 1 attacker seems too much to me considering the wealth of options in those positions and prices. E.g. Fellaini, Michu, Sturridge, Lukaku, Berbatov

I watched the game against Fulham and he looked great, but haven’t seen him play much apart from that.
Shall he be dead on to start the next 3 or so games?
January 14 at 7:19 pm
Timmy Cahill Rules says:
no
January 14 at 7:20 pm
The EJJ says:
He’s been very impressive, was great against Fulham and could’ve had 4 against Reading. Long’s back from injury so hard to tell with Clarke whether he’ll stick with Lukaku. Odds are he will after his strong recent performances.

Ba or Torres versus Southampton? Who is more likely? Any chance of both starting?
January 14 at 7:22 pm
La Roja says:
Torres imo.
Ba to start vs gunners
January 14 at 7:22 pm
The EJJ says:
Don’t think both of them will start. I think Torres will start with Ba coming on for 30 mins (unless Torres has a stormer)
January 14 at 7:25 pm
heartsattack says:
Ba definitely. Why would he start Torres, he’s lost two easy home games recently and will play the best side he can.
January 14 at 7:27 pm
La Roja says:
disagree
look at their fixtures, ba is better than torres at the moment, no brainer. Rafa will want to keep him fresh for tougher games. Obviously if chelsea can’t score say till 60th min, ba to come on.
January 14 at 7:29 pm
heartsattack says:
Aye we’ll see. Ba is used to playing lots of games and keeping form going. Rafa no doubt knows this.
January 14 at 7:31 pm
La Roja says:
agree on that tough. still i expect el nino to start. he’s rafa’s long term biatch after all. would not wanna piss him off

I somehow expect WHU to do better in the DGW esp since one of their games is against QPR at home

ars can match or better that IMO
January 14 at 7:23 pm
The EJJ says:
Better than Arsenal? I can see the QPR game being a scrappy low scoring affair maybe 1-1. Arsenal still better team and I expect their assets to outperform West Ham’s.
January 14 at 7:26 pm

I expect them to beat QPR at home and for ARS to lose/draw with Chelsea. How is ARS record against WHU?
January 14 at 7:23 pm
JKisthe1 - A Founder of Berbism says:
so, will wait until the outcome of the replay for injuries etc. But for now I think I might be set on Luiz and Berba to Demel/Reid and Pod.

Have 1ft and 0.8m….will wildcard after this gw…what don’t recommend?
A: sterling + ba >> Nolan + podolski…will play 3-5-2 with berb on the bench
B: Luis + berb >> Gibbs + podolski…play 4-3-3 with sterling on bench
C: Luis + sterling >> Gibbs + Nolan…play 3-5-2 with rv and ba upfront…
D: Mannone + ba >> szcesny + podolski
I want A as it will give me both ars and Westham attacking cover…bt since my def+keeper is weak this week, other options make more sense…
January 14 at 7:35 pm
Tobiathan says:
Not too keen on Nolan personally. Hasn’t scored or assisted since early November, and playing a QPR team that has tightened up significantly (clean sheets in consecutive weeks v Chelsea and Spurs) and then at Arsenal. I’d say either B or D.
January 14 at 7:27 pm

Ba or Lambert to Podolski?
Or just leave it?
Jussi

First one.
Dzeko not assured of starts and Sturridge looked great against Man U. Could affect Suarez’s output while Aguero is proven performer.

Worth getting in Dzeko for Berbatov this week?
January 14 at 7:27 pm

January 14 at 7:38 pm

Bego – Jussi
Gibbs – ShawX – Cameron – O’Brien – Martin R
Bale – Cazorla – Walcott – Fellaini – Michu
RVP – Ba – Lambert
1 FT 0.3m
Any news on O’Brien? Considering Martin R > Demel for free. WCing after the GW 23, so I might as well use the FT. Should I do a different transfer I am not seeing? Big red arrow for this GW so far

first time i am in 2046 th position …so far
front 8 are
mata / bale / fellaini / michu / walcott
RVP/ ba / sturridge (as of this week)
is it worth keeping ba? isnt he too much of a rotation risk?
my feeling says giroud will be the best replacement not only for the dgw but as arsenal’s fixtures are favorable i think he will be starting the majority of the matches
anyone agree / disagree?
thanks
