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.

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

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

        C has also blank

    I predict a Holebas yellow card this week.

    1. Somalion
      • 14 Years

      I predict night will follow day.

    Kind of a c fail with only 8 pts

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Not really

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

      20 minutes to go.

    3. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      8 pts captain fail? Nah, it's decent

    4. Lawrø
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      It's only a fail if the alternatives outscore him... I'm not confident but it's not a fail yet

    5. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Considering how he scored it is wouldn't be complaining

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

      8pt captain is not within a million miles of captain fail!

      Can't captain double-digits every week!

    7. Oven Glover
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      7 points
