Dugout Discussion – Arsenal vs Hull City

The Gameweek begins at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal host Hull City with thousands of Fantasy Premier League armbands placed on Alexis Sanchez.

Owned by 35.3% of FPL managers and topping our Gameweek Captain Poll, the Chilean is handed the central striker role once again for the Gunners, having produced either a goal or an assist in ten of his last twelve Gameweeks.

However, Sanchez has provided just one double-digit return since his staggering 23-point haul at West Ham and he last scored big at the Emirates back in Gameweek 13 against Bournemouth.

His legion of backers will look for that trend to change in today’s outing, against a Hull City rearguard that arrives in North London on the back of successive clean sheets against Manchester United and Liverpool.

The scene is set for a classic attack vs defence encounter, with all eyes on Sanchez throughout.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    One of those very fortunate hauls for Alexis. First goal could have been ruled out. Penalty was pretty poor, think Jaku should have done much better.

    Fair play to captainers, bet the sellers aren't best pleased 😉

      Handball goal
      Should have been down to 10 men

      Wenger will be giving Clattenberg a huge hug

        Probably let slip later in the week that he had tried to sign Clattenberg years ago

    Just happy I kept and started Bellerin when this whole site said to get rid, now to sell for Goalman!

    1. Alnair

      Exactly the same, own both but didn't captain.

    Sanchez (C) here, but the handball calls have royally pee'd off Hull today. Sure, the second was a pen, but Sanchez to take the penalty really rubs salt in the wounds!

    Mark Clattenberg has overtaken Mike Dean as the most dubious referee in the country

    I love this game

    Hate on the jamminess all you want, but that pass from Alexis to Lucas was special - incredible poise at that moment.

    Another late Sanchez penalty... shocking

  13. GoonerByron
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Would you take a -4 to have Markovic for 36 and 38 over De Roon?

    1. Somalion
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      No

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Not a -4.

    3. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      That's so loooong away

    4. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      That to far ahead for planning. Slow down.

    Sanchez (C) and Kos. Result.

  15. rivercityransom
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    3 bonus points: Sánchez (43)
    2 bonus points: Koscielny (37)
    1 bonus points: Mustafi (34)

    well clear

    1. Lawrø
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Winning goal bonus yet to be added too... hopefully he can hold all 3

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Be careful. Still a chance Kosc could overtake him?

  16. diesel001

    Loving the Arsenal clean sheet!

  17. ILOVEBAPS
    • 12 Years

    8 point pen that was. 3 baps

    1. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      16pts extra for captainers. Huge.

  18. Viprin
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    No pressure Zlatan,3 goals will be enough

    1. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I'm happy with 2 and an assist.

  19. Lav

    Sanchez non capers are we happy?

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Up until 92min...not now 🙁

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yep.

        Bottled out of captaining him and Ibra for a punt on Siggy, so no complaints from me. I'll take his non captain haul quite happily, though.

    2. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Depends how our actual captains get on I suppose lol.

    3. Pocky
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Still happy in a week where over 60K sold him.

    4. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      That's a terrible result for non captainers

  20. GinjaWhinja
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Come on then, hands up, who transferred out Sanchez ahead of his blank?

  21. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    As a Sanchez non-owner or capper, was that good or bad news for my OR?

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Bad

    2. Ziro

      Jafoooooooliii

    3. Speédy
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Very bad,8 point goal there

  22. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

    7 years, 2 months ago

    Had Sanchez captain all week and went Defoe. Hopefully it pays off. Lucky half my ML got rid of Alexis haha

    Ridiculous. C'mon ibra, repay the faith.

    Sanchez subbed. Save from a 2nd YC.

  25. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    I rolled a dice for my captain between Ibra (1,2), Sanchez (3,4) and Siggy (5,6) this week.

    The dice gave me Siggy. Excuses in early.

    Quieten down you clowns who said Alexis has been awful shhhhhhhhhh

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Did you watch the game? He gave away the ball constantly, awful passing. Handballed it for the first goal and then got a pen that was almost saved. One of his worst games of the season despite the goals. Still a class player.

    2. Somalion
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Well... he has been

    3. JustPark
      • 8 Years

  29. tisza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    know they lost 2-0 but this is a much better Hull side under Silva.

  30. Mark-O
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    I have Sanchez but it was Siggy(c)

    How should I feel?

    1. Lawrø
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Bad

    2. Epic Fail

        FFFix shows a green arrow for my OR though

    4. Pocky
      • 14 Years

      Better than those who sold him!!

    5. Business Cat

      Annoyed...undeserved haul from Sanchez.

      Damage limitation now really

      1. O Fenomeno
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I get people who don't own Sanchez being p'd off with the haul, but as an owner, even if he wasn't your captain, you have to be happy with the points?

    6. O Fenomeno
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Any week I have a 15 point player and captain still to come I'm pleased.
