Dugout Discussion

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.

    Everyone on here wanting Ibra to match Sanchez and I'm just here with Luka(c)u waiting to be trolled next time I check the scores. Have a good afternoon all.

    Jesus is still being transferred in even tho he blanks. Casuals gotta love 'em

    Alexis is closing in on the FPL pantheon at this rate -- could definitely clear 250, fixture congestion will determine if he can get closer to 300.

      He's no Suarez!

      1. tm245
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        He is almost at 7PPG, getting close to that level.

      Couldn't belive how many sold him this week as well home to Hull.
      Only regret not putting armband on him!

    Will Sanchez's brace stop any price falls?

    Also. Should I be worried as Jesus (C) ?

      No

        He's suddenly at -40% on fplstats after being -100.4% yesterday. Not sure what's going on, but probably WCs.

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

      Might slow it down but main hope is that rivals keep over Ibra!

      1. Team Bobcat
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I have both.

        I will get rid of both for a (-4).

        I will gamble on Lukaku hauling next week and the price difference then will have jusrified such move.

        Although Lukaku would be a very viable captain option next week out I am very tempted to give Rondon the armband. I may have nothing to lose.

        Sanchez will go for Ericksen/Alli at the moment.

  5. Greenbackbøøg…

    Are people surprised? Jammy goals are Sanchez' bread and butter, just lay back captain him and enjoy the ride

      Did a lot of people captain Sanchez?

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Won captain poll

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

        Yes. Look at the poll here alone it has nearly 4k votes for him.

      3. Fred54

      All these Sanchez and Ibra posts, just wait till Jesus destroys Bournemouth on Monday 😎

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Well he'l'll need least two goals and an assist. Big ask.

      2. L S P
        • 8 Years

        i'm very happy to have my 30 captain pts in the bag, thankyouverymuch

    5. 8ball
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      time to get Sanchez out? Who do I bring in first, Siggy or Barkley?

      Sanchez, Eriksen, Alli, Phillips, Carroll
      Ibra, Lukaku, Costa

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Hazard

        1. L S P
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          This

      2. Sweetboi
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Siggy has Chelsea so Barkley, if you want both.

        1. 8ball
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          That is what I am thinking, Sanchez for Barkley then the next week Siggy for Eriksen. Gtg?

      3. The Head-Ake
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Siggy for Eriksen? Keep Sanchez.

        1. 8ball
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Most likely 2 blanks in the next 3 weeks? I bought him at 11.9 so I am losing full value when he drops

    6. Clifford☯
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez loves late goals.

    7. Venom Snake
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      SV for Sanchez is 11.4

      What do we think he'll be worth in 3-4 weeks?

      1. thericeking
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        11.3

      2. ILOVEBAPS
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        11

    8. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I'm livid. Ibra hat trick please.

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

        As an Ibra C too, I'd be happy with a goal.

    9. Garlana
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Is it too much to ask for a Rondon goal today?

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

        Based on the last 5 weeks - yes

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

          haha

      2. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yes.

      3. Team Bobcat
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I am hoping for one.

        May be worth the armband next week regardless.

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

      Why don't the players arrive in their own fancy cars rather than a bus?

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Saving the planet.

      2. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Because they're a team?

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

        Team building.

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

          Fair enough though I'd be tempted to see each one ride.

          1. Rainer
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            This isn't the site to see that type of stuff

      4. F4L
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        team morale

      5. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Suppose one or two got stuck in traffic?

        Not gonna hold the kick-off for them.

        They'll hold it if the entire team's not there

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

        What's your rationale for why they wouldn't arrive by bus?

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

          A minivan? Just kidding. Curious actually.

    11. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez's work rate, as like every game, was incredible today though.

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

        He's so hungry, always wants more FPL points.

      2. Garlana
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Captain's himself every week

      3. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Always.

        I've posted before that Pep has wanted that from Aguero....It's the difference between the two of them and why I rate Sanchez the best player in the league by a distance.

      4. Clifford☯
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        That's the difference between him & Aguero.

    12. itwaswritten

      Can't wait for Watford to beat Man Utd once again!

      1. itwaswritten

        Zarate and Niang are coming to end Special Gone.

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

        You mean like they just beat you at the Emirates?

    13. camarozz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Ibra to save my gw. Really didn't fancy Sanchez this wk for some reason. Then I read somewhere that he's nvr failed to score v hull. Aftr the deadline of course. Ah well.

    14. Simon March
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Watching Sanchez take penalties is terrifying.

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

        I was bricking it.

      2. tm245
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        That injury delay by Hull filled me with dread.

      3. Art Vandelay
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I turned it off, poured a whiskey, and turned it back on. 😆

        1. L S P
          • 8 Years

          smart play this

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

      Surely it's safe to hold Sanchez through his price drops during the blank week as it will just go back up the following week when people bring him back in anyway?

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Safe how? He won't bring you any points. Yet his replacement might get you a haul.

    16. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years

      Can someone give me the sheet about teams which likely miss gw 28 ?

      1. itwaswritten
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Southampton, Arsenal, Man Utd, Man City 100%

        1. L S P

    17. diesel001

      BAPS updated - probably more to come:

      Sánchez (41)
      Koscielny (37)
      Mustafi (34)

      1. Rainer

        Koscielny's a baps monster.

    18. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

      Surely Defoe will score a hatrick v Southampton

      1. Garlana

        Hopefully

      2. Fred54

        My brother captained him which was certainly left field...

      When even déjà vu decides to screw you over!

      Sanchez vs Hull - Part 1 - GW 5:
      41 min Penalty - Sanchez misses - 10 points lost
      (-5 for no goal, -2 for penalty miss, went from 3 bps to 0 bps)

      Sanchez vs Hull - Part 2 - GW 25:
      93rd min penalty - Sanchez scores - 8 points gained
      (+5 for goal, went from 0 bps to 3 bps)

      The only difference: Captained him in part 1 did not captain in part 2...
