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.

      i'm going to get him into my team. He's streaky with points. The time is right.

      1. Dokdok666
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        You mean right after he has had two home games?

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA

      THIS 😀

  4. ★Kuntheman★

    Monreal, welcome to my team.

    What a BPS magnet

    1. Salarrivederci
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Monreal and Jones will stay forever. They eat BPS every game.

      1. Carlton_Goal
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Not on the same level but Jose Fonte is starting to look good for getting bonus too, was an absolute rock at the back yesterday and some decent fixtures coming up.

        1. Salarrivederci
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Agree!

  5. Ryan Naysmith
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    85 all in with that 15 from monreal. Jones, Davies, Ottamendi and Monreal. My perfect back 4. Pretty cheap, all nailed or very close to it, bonus magnets, some can get the occasional goal/assist and from strong defensive clubs (bar arsenal). Posted this last week too and they are performing again. I'd recommend for and wilcarders. Maybe switch Jones to azpe and done deal.

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Might look at Otamendi myself, city have improved at the back, he's nailed while Kompany injured right? How longs that for?

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

    Phew. Brighton had a few of us sweating on that cleanie towards the end.

  7. Eton Rifles

    Everton playing 4-3-3?

    1. Flynny

      6 years, 7 months ago

      Think so

  9. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    If you were to pick 2 out of Silva, sterling and sane for wildcard who would it be?

    Silva and one of the others?

    Thanks

    1. VFORVANDETA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Silva sterling

    2. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Silva and Sterling for two but I'd only go 1 of them

    3. GAMBIT
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Silva and one of the others

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

      Depends how long term your looking. Silva is more nailed, other two are more explosive and have bigger goal threat. Just got Sane personally

  10. Fanta sea
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Another disgruntled Arsenal fan quote:

    "2-0 isn't good enough. It's 3 points but doesn't send any message. We must be doing much better in such games."

  11. Sánchez
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Lovely stuff

    Me: Kola (6)
    Rival: Gross + Lacazette (3)

    Always good when your one player outscores your main rivals 2 players in a game

  12. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Bellerin 11 pointer and Davies 16 pointer. Finally defenders contribute something

  13. Pranav Santhosh
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Monreal 15 pointer well done Monreal owners

    1. dark91

    2. Salarrivederci

      thx. BPS four games in a row.

      Him and Jones just like to get those Bonus Points

      1. Pranav Santhosh
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        38 points in the past 4 games

  14. SuperMane Returns

    Need a goal and clean sheet from Mee please (+3 BAPS)

  15. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    9 points from Kola and Ramsey. Will take it, but disappointing considering the chances

    1. justmatt
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Ye, could have been so much better if Ramsey put that chance away but I'll settle for the 9.

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Feel the same as Kola + Sanchez owner. 12 points is good, but it's a huge chunk of my budget for them to be missing opportunities when they come!

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Lol at non arsenal defence owners

    Strange decision not to play Murray and knockeart from hughton

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Wouldn't lol with upcoming fixtures looking tough, but they certainly are looking a lot better right now

    2. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      The arsenal defence got slated so much after Liverpool on here. But that was without mustafi, with bellerin LB and Ox RB

      Soon as Ox left, everyone played where they should again and now its 4/4 CS

    3. AllanM
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Murray wouldn't last more than 20mins

  17. Dreams
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Loving the spirit of the Brighton fans. They're one of the best I've ever seen.

    1. VFORVANDETA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Yep.Most Epl fans are boring.

  18. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    Very lucky to get them last two Arsenal CSs 🙂

  19. boc610

    wenger letting sanchez go on a free so he can get assists against Brighton

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Doesn't make sense, he's contributing to goals?

  20. mr messi
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    How did Ramsey look today?

    1. justmatt
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Had a decent chance and was close to a few crosses but they were cut out before getting to him. Other than that didn't do much.

    2. VFORVANDETA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Selfish

    3. SuperMane Returns
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Like he was lost in the kitchen.

    4. Pariße

      All over the place in a positive and a negative way.

    My Danilo out 2 weeks ago was to either monreal or kola. Went with kola, them the breaks as monreal
    Earned 11 more points in the last two weeks and 0.6 cheaper

    1. Ravager

      Nice one.

  24. Pariße
    • 9 Years

    That's now my 5th and 6th clean sheet from Arsenal defenders since buying one right after Liverpool. People were saying Arsenal are done after that game...

    1. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Yep, held Kola since the start and more than satisfied

      Good boy

  25. Rainer

    Top 10k up 4.9
    Overall up 4.1

  26. dark91

    What are the chances of Rooney (if he is subbed in) outscoring Salah, asking for a friend 😀

  27. Pep says
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone else planned to use their WC during the break and now unsure what to do. Surely if I'm undecided it's probably wiser to save it right?

    Elliot
    Monreal Davies Mee
    Ritchie Salah Choup Erik
    Kane Kaku Vardy

    1ft 0itb

    Could just take a hit and do Kaku to Morata and Dawson to Otamendi (pending international results of course)
