Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Arsenal versus Swansea

Gameweek 36 comes to its conclusion tonight as Arsenal host Swansea at the Emirates. After a polished performance at Hull last Monday, the Gunners have now won nine of their last ten league outings, with only a goalless draw against Chelsea temporarily slowing their momentum.

With a double Gameweek against United and Sunderland just around the corner, Fantasy managers are afforded further opportunity to scout Arsene Wenger’s main men this evening.

Alexis Sanchez served up a second double-figure return in four league outings with a brace against the Tigers to persuade over 144,000 FPL managers to snap up his services ahead of this one. The Chilean isn’t the only one worth considering in an attack that looks full of Fantasy potential right now – up top, Olivier Giroud has seven strikes in the last nine, whilst Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil and Santi Cazorla are also jousting for our attention. The Welshman has recovered from a knock sustained at the KC and will surely be set for significant investment on the back of three 10+ hauls in his previous six.

Garry Monk’s men have been in decent form, too. The Swans have won their last two matches since switching to 4-2-3-1, though with Nelson Oliveira missing out through injury tonight, the visitors are without a recognised striker in their starting line-up.

    Email FPL to remind them they don't include goal line technology in their rules.

    1. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      What rule would there be?

    2. oscardo

    Kudos to Swans, successfully parked the bus.

      City third eh?

      😀

      1. Acquafresca
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        2nd, 3rd, 15th, City won nothing this year.

        Arsenal in the Cup Final.

        1. pundit of punts
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 12 months ago

          But that was not what you mentioned to Stupendous.

          You told him to 'get over' about city finishing 3rd.

          1. Acquafresca
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 12 months ago

            Ya well sh!t happens. You still didn't win anything.

    2. Red Devil Swede
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

  12. Pariße
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Honestly, this was the stupidest game ever, kind of like Sunderland's win against Everton.

    1. Rains of Castamere
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      And united vs WBA

          I will mention that you are the new challenger whilst crying into the camera

  22. Hamstergod
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    The way this usually goes, Arsenal will score 6-8 goals in the DGW and Sunderland will concede a similar amount with some fringe player scoring a brace...

  23. The Machine
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    102 points. Boom

    1. The Machine
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      2nd century in 5 weeks

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        Some of us have never even had 1...

  24. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Sad times with Okore, Henderson and PvA all benched. Cost me dear.

    1. Hamstergod
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Duff, PVA and Pantilimon here , although it wouldn't make a huge difference

    2. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      I had PvA, Duff and Pants. Not too bothered about Pants though since I had Schmeichel

    3. FPL Touches
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      At least you didn't have Mahrez on there..

    4. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      I would never have played PvA but I never get autosubs when I need one.

  25. CABAYE4
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Well that wasn't a very nice end to the GW!

    Aguero's haul making my points score seem a lot better than it really is.

  26. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Fab to Caz fail 🙁

  27. Captain Shirokov
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Was 52 points behind my rival (who's 900 overall).

    He had Sanchez captain this week.

    Oh it's on. 😎

  28. FPL Touches
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Sanchez blank! 😀

    F***ing brilliant!! :mrgreen:

  29. JJO
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    At least they will have to play their best 11 against Sand

    1. Camp No No
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      You're right! This is only getting better! Pure diamond!

  30. walkman666
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    3 deuces today, as likely all of us. Ospina (I rue the day...), Cazorla, and Giroud. Escaped no-Sanchez, but my bad decision to start Ospina over Schmeichel burns me yet again. 94 (-8).

    1. KipperRSA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      similar here with my 3 Arsenal, but Fabianski saved the day 🙂

      1. Pasqualinho
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        He saved a lot of things.
