Dugout Discussion – Arsenal vs Brighton

The first of three Sunday fixtures gets underway at 12pm as Arsenal entertain Brighton.

Alexandre Lacazette boasts some fine home form ahead of the Seagulls clash, with four goals in his first three outings at the Emirates.

The Frenchman is the most captained player for today’s match and third overall in the Gameweek, with 4.5% of Fantasy Premier League managers handing him the armband.

Alexis Sanchez claimed his first returns of the season last Monday against the Baggies and has another chance to audition for those wildcarding over the forthcoming break.

As has Aaron Ramsey – at 7.0, he’s bagged points in all of the Gunners’ home matches so far.

At the back, Arsenal have racked up three straight clean sheets and will face Watford, Everton and Swansea after today’s match. They’ll need to make do without Laurent Koscielny this lunchtime, though, as the Frenchman misses out with a recurrence of an Achilles problem.

Pascal Gross has been the Seagull’s star performer over the opening six.

Priced at 5.7, the German has played a part in four of their five goals and another contribution today could see his 13% ownership rise further.

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

    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

      Lukaku is perfect for a format like Telegraph Fantasy Football. No captains - just put him in and leave him there.

    4. umerlfc
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      And Niasse is going to outscore all of them

    My rival has Doucoure on the bench, and he's not going to get his 10 pts. Ouch.

    Cheer up Lacazette owners, a lot of us have Morata.

    There was a poster on here yesterday trolling Lukaku owners and banging on about Lacazette and we were all idiots for not owning him. Wonder what he’s up to today? 😉

    Poch I think his name was. Karma, Poch my friend, karma.

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Lacazette just hasn't got going.

      1. Football Weekender
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Had that shot in the first minute then not much. If he’s getting hauled off around 70 minutes every game then he’s even less appealing.

  26. SuperMane Returns

    Brighton Dunk a Bong on the pitch, that's Propper Gross.

    Sanchez clearly despised by all his team mates,its very strange,pallpable feeling of them just tolerating him
