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.

    Anyone considering dropping Sanchez next week as likely to miss gw 28 and not playing gw 26... 27 is Liverpool away... So really not much change out of him next 3 game weeks.... thoughts?

      Good time to sell & buy back in GW29/30

      Yup probably to Hazard

    3. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Looking more likely

    4. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yup to hazard

    5. Epic Fail

      Yes I am.

      Yep. Back to Hazard. Wish at this time that I hadn't changed.

        You guys all have you're WC sitll? Cus for those like me who don't, it means planning correctly for double gam weeks..

        Also, why to Hazard if he blanks in 28 also? In the event all Premier league clubs make it through FA cup (Likely) then you still would do that?

          Virtually everyone on here will still have their WC 😉

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

          Swansea next.

          If all Prem teMs win in the Cup then it makes it easier as there's a much smaller pool of players to pick from, and even less that are actually worth owning.

    7. Yome
      • 12 Years

      Yes to siggy

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

      Nope. Sanchez stays in my team all season, every season from now on.

    9. Alexis Nonsense
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, but I'm waiting until tomorrow to see Hazard

      Sanchez --> Hazard seems good vs Swansea

      Who else would you bring in for Sanchez?

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

      I am selling for sure.

      Can buy him back in the future cheaper if needs be.

      He stands to lose up to 0.5 or more by GW28 at least

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

      If you dont have a player in mind to replace sanchez with just jump on the most popular midfield buy after todays games and you will be fine

    12. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      yep to Barkley (already have Hazard) then back in GW29 at a discount.

  2. diesel001

    Arsenal are playing well. Creating chances which is better than the last two weeks.

  3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    Ranochia is bossing the baps, could be worth a look at 4.5

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

      I was eyeing up Mawson or Maguire, but the new guy looks pretty handy

  4. Keep Calm and Play On

    Ozil is having a howler and it's not even been 30 mins in

  5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Early kick off c fail

    1. RamaJama

      Always

    Exhausting viewing for non Alexis captainers

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

      Think it's exhausting for everyone

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      So much this. He's always involved & the clock is tocking so slowly

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

      Exhausting for captainers too

  7. Rh4ziel
    • 7 Years

    Cant wait for le donk to come on 🙂

  8. Bubz

    Fear not, Wenger has his trusty plan B of bringing Giroud on

  9. diesel001

    7 years, 2 months ago

    Theo not wearing long sleeved shirt when the rest of the team have. All not right at the club.

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

      I also wonder if they have been instructed not to tackle, they dont press when Hull have the ball. very strange

      1. Ravager
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Trying to conserve energy for Bayern maybe?

  10. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Jaku trying to spice things up

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

    Don't worry Sanchez cappers. I've gone with a different captain so he should at least get a brace.

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

      PLease not Ibra?

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

        I'm sorry. 🙁

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years

          Keep the fingers and toes crossed then....

  12. Shirokov(c)

    Game 1/3 over. Time for the Arsenal fans to start getting ratty again.

  13. Venom Snake

    Clattenburg looks like he's been on a week long bender

    1. Shirokov(c)

      John Moss' stag do the other night

  14. b✪mber

    Hull beating themselves at times

  15. Pariße
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Hull's defence hasn't been that tight today, Arsenal have created 5 fairly clear chances already, but have been incredibly wasteful.

    1. Ravager
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Keep playing with the ball instead of striking it.

  16. Syd.

    I have 4 Snowballs

    Very Moreish

  17. Team Cruel

    Good thing Ville Ronke et al also captained Alexis so this C fail isn't that hard to take.

    1. Shirokov(c)
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Because of one player?

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Et al. = not one

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

      What's it got to do with him?

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        One way rivalry.

  18. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Better start for Arsenal today than against Chelsea and Watford

    1. Shirokov(c)
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I dunno, they were pretty good against Chelsea for 25 minutes

  19. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone else regretting starting heaton over jak ?

    Hulls bus looks to keep off arsenal by the looks of things

  20. Duffy Dunk
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Hull look more and more threatening in counter attacks.
    If Arsenal don't score soon and keep pushing forward, Hull have a chance to do great today

  21. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Sanchez needs to stay until in the box and trust the players around him

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Stay in the box

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

      Lol can't even blame him for not trusting them

    3. HNI
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Cant blame him considering their recent tepid playing...

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