Dugout Discussion – Arsenal vs Bournemouth

After Stoke’s narrow win at Vicarage Road, we now make our way to the Emirates as Arsenal entertain Bournemouth at 2.15pm.

Having led the line against PSG in midweek, Olivier Giroud drops back to the bench, despite netting five times in his last five appearances across all competitions.

Alexis Sanchez is stationed up front, then, with his 22% FPL owners looking for an improvement on the form that has seen him score in just one of the previous six Gameweeks.

Certainly, we need the Chilean to step up in a weekend where Liverpool pair Philipp Coutinho and Roberto Firmino, along with Chelsea’s Eden Hazard, failed to deliver the goods.

Utilised off the bench against PSG, Theo Walcott returns to the starting XI, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain also finding a place in the hosts line-up.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

        7 years, 5 months ago

        Don't. They are both about equal going forwards with the fixtures. 🙂

    Horribly lazy and tired from Bournemouth. Number 2 (Francis?) just doesn't bother to intercept.

    Giroud with attacking points off the bench yet again

    How does Alexis + Kun sellers feel?

    1. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Bad

      And rightly so.

      1. DantheManinaPan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        (avoiding confusion I'm not in that group. I have both)

    That's why you pay the premium for Sanchez.

  16. Coaly
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Why did he have to do that

    Unnecessary

      Sanchez and Giroud 🙂

    • The Royal Robin

      Captaining Coutinho worst decision I made all season.

      1. marcus2704

        7 years, 5 months ago

        Same here. Was on Aguero all week until I looked at the front page captain poll and took a punt on Coutinho.

        Always captain Aguero.

    • HurriKane

      yess sanchezzzzzz 😀

      Sanchez and Aguero essential status for me.

    • Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Ozil doing a great job of keeping out of the points.

      Really thought he would start contributing soon.

      Obviously v happy as a Sanchez owner but as I changed my captain last minute to Coutino I'm a bit annoyed

      Won my bet (Arsenal -1:5) tho 🙂
