Dugout Discussion – Arsenal vs Leicester

The 2017/18 season gets underway this evening as Arsenal entertain Leicester City at the Emirates Stadium.

With last season’s top scoring Fantasy Premier League (FPL) player Alexis Sanchez stuck on the sidelines through injury, the stage is set for new arrival Alexandre Lacazette to make an immediate impact.

Boasting an FPL ownership of 17%, he’s is the most popular Arsenal player after netting 28 times in Ligue 1 for Lyon last season.

Encouragingly for the hosts, Lacazette scored six goals in his last four opening day appearances in the French top division.

Fellow new arrival Sead Kolasinac also makes his Premier League bow tonight – he’s owned by 12% on the back of Sunday’s Community Shield strike against Chelsea.

With clashes against Man United, Chelsea and Liverpool also to follow in the first six Gameweeks, Leicester’s key assets have been mainly overlooked.

Only 4% have taken a punt on Jamie Vardy, who averaged a healthy seven points per appearance under Craig Shakespeare in the latter stages of 2016/17.

The Foxes also face promoted pair Brighton and Huddersfield over that period, though, affording us a chance to scout Vardy and new strike partner Kelechi Iheanacho as potential differentials up top.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    The positions Kolasinac is getting to from CB, just imagine when he is moved to LWB once the CB's come back. He won't be an Alonso because Arsenal won't keep dozen clean sheets in a row but still a great pick.

    Kolas is going to score in the second half too. Watch and see. The guy is a TANK!

  18. Ohhh Shola Ameobi
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Lacazette owners everywhere wishing Kola slammed that one home himself

  19. Differentiator
    • 8 Years

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I'm expecting it...the YC I mean, not the scenes!

  20. HALFSPACE

    Got laughed at when I said Lacazette will score mlre than Kaku for 1.0m less

    1. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

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

        I knew the answer before the game

        1. Annie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

                • 6 Years
                6 years, 7 months ago

        2. MrZ
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah laca score more because kaku hasn't play yet

    2. Podge
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      How has that changed ?

    3. Dimen
      • 10 Years

      Well laughed at would be harsh But you can't really tell yet. I still think Lukaku will score more goals throughout the season.

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

        At 40m more he really should!

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

      So many things wrong with this...

    5. Flintstone
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Is he in your team? I did the swap with 10mins to go. Would like one more goal mind, he's got the armband

  21. FALCAO & MOU
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Kola needs to be more selfish, he could have scored there, Kolaaaaaaaaaaaa, Kolaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

  22. evilfish
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Lol @ those lolling @ Kola owners.

  23. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Kolasinac -> Bellerin 3 minutes before deadline seems like a wise decision.. Had Kola since release X-D

  24. Boydinho
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Davinson Sanchez close to join two other former Ajax CB i North London. Fee €35M.

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

    Kola is literally a 9 year old who's better than everyone and does what he wants because it's his ball

  26. DennisLFC08
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    I regret transferring Kola already 🙁

  27. Fifa las vegas
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    I think as a LWB Kolasinac will really be essential. He's already been way too far forward on a few occasions tonight and he playing in a back three ffs.

    Kolasinac BAPS magnet

    My man Kolasinac of course.

      You win a bun if you can define his position based on any coaching manual.

      He clearly plays where he likes.

      1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        kola would eat that bun and anything else in his path

      2. MrZ

        In guardian team sheet kola's place is different with holding & monreal 😀

      3. Individual
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Absolutely. No idea what role he's playing!

    Kolasinac is playing really well! It's a pity that Kosc and Mustafi not fully fit...but be soon.
