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.

    Did regular players actually sell Sanchez this week?

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Nope.

  10. Somalion

    Sanchez played his volleyball chip

  11. Lizard Lips
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    As it wasn't deliberate was it purposely let to stand? I mean the linesman is staring at the clear contact and doesn't flag.

  12. The Enlightener

    Pish. Nice handball goal.

  13. Now I'm Panicking

    Just the one hand tbf

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

      Left or Right

  14. GXNG

    Should I be happy as an owner but not captain

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

      No.

    2. hannesdela
      • 12 Years

      Same here. If he doesn't add to it, then it's bearable.

      Depends who you captained. Do you still think they're capable of getting as much as Sanchez?
      Captained Zlatan myself and I'll be disappointed if he can't match what Sanchez has now, but definitely worried for the second half

  15. Ziro

    Need one more goal from your left hand now.

    1. b✪mber
      • 8 Years

      lol

  16. Judeksi
    • 9 Years

      yeah 1 goal is enough thanks

    Sanchez loses more bps by going offside again 🙁

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Relax. The hattrick will help that.

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

    Just as long as he doesn't get anymore, i'd settle for 9 points from sanchez as a non-owner

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

      Couldn't agree more.

  19. Syd.
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    He was just protecting his balls 😆

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

      His balls are so big they are above his head. 😎

  20. The Head-Ake

    Should I get Sanchez back in? IDK why I kicked him out in the first place

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah - plum fixture GW26

    2. Holmes

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

      Justice will be served

  22. Ady87
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Did armband from Sanchez to Defoe at the death. Terrified.

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

      Big call

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

    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

  24. Stats Don\'t Lie

    Alexis handled that chance very well.

  25. Pariße

    Goal saved with a handball, goal recieved by a handball.

  26. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Was that a good goal?

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

      No

  27. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Sanchez needs another goal to even get 1bap if arsenal keep a cs

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      He doesn't even deserve this goal imo

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

        liessssss

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          He scored it with his hand 😀

      There's still 50 minutes remaining, Demba. He could get a hatty; they could concede. No point worrying about BAPS until the 70th minute or so.

    sanchez ibra sanchez ibra etc. etc.et.c

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

      Still don't know what Ibra will do so. Take a breath.

    2. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      If you don't think Zlatan's likely to get upwards of 6 why did you even consider him?

  29. Black Panther
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Such as relief! I was starting to think it was going to be one of those frustrating captain fails.

    Arsenal need to put their foot on the gas now. That's been their undoing too many times this season, feeling comfortable going ahead. Score another 3 Lexi
