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 think the Arsenal board might be wondering if they should've sold Sanchez.

    Worth ditching Kolasinac to fund Vardy > Morata (if fit)?

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years

      Maybe for free (but not certainly). Vardy is good value, and Kola very capable of hauls. Not for a hit.

        Yeah it is tough, definitely want some Chelsea over the next 5 or so, maybe Eriksen to Hazard or Lukaku > Morata would be better

    Cmon Murray keep at it ruin the arsenal clean sheet

  21. Yozzer

    Keeping kol. Monreal just a lucky game as he never scores. Bellerin looks too much like a human rat. On any other day this could have been kols game with the chance cleared off like and denied assists

    1. Salarrivederci
      • 7 Years

      Alright dude.
      Well - with Sanchez on the pitch Kola does not have the same impact.
      Monreal in BAPS fourth game in a row - and cheaper.

      I'll stick with Monreal and enjoy the rise to 5.6

  22. JJO

    So Kolasinac losing baps without touching ball and Bellerin gaining fir losing 3,4 balls
