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.

    Morata 1 point
    Lacazette 2 points
    Jesus 5 points

      Lukaku = 6 pts.

      Firmino still to play.

      How do get 4 forward slots?

    3. DV8R

      Until next GW when they'll prob get double figures

      Great time to captain Salah 8)

    5. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Firmino rested

      KANE KANE KANE!

      Meanwhile Mr Harry 13 points Kane has only 34.1% ownership

    I don't mind the lack of goals from Laca....you can't score in every game. My issue is that he only played 70 mins today. That's 20 mins less than his rivals and the last 20 mins is when goals are scored usually as players get tired and lose concentration.

    You can find the same kind of problem with Jesus as well although that was when he was with Aguero.

    1. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years

      say it again without crying

    2. Emp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      ye but city hav e already banged in five by the time he takes jesus off on 60

    3. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      That’s why I sold him. Lukaku would’ve had half his tally if that was the case with him as well.

    4. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Not really. Kane came off early too yesterday

  6. GAMBIT
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Sanchez looks a shadow of his former self

    1. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      We must’ve been watching a different game.

      1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Final ball and final decision poor

        1. Pariße
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Yes, but the assist was genius and he almost got a goal that was cleared just before going past the line. Not in full form yet though, true.

  7. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Alexis takes his point

  8. FPL Puppy
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Knockaert coming on

    1. FPL Puppy
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Murray also on

  9. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Is Chicharito > Rashford for -4 a decent(ish) move? I've already got Lukaku but I'm desperate to get rid of Chich.

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Not at all

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Fair enough. Would you give him a bit longer?

  10. R.C
    • 6 Years

    How many times was Kola unlucky? ffs hate to hear this.

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      yeah, he heard you the first time

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      2 assists and a goal denied

      1. Egg noodle
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        LOL

        1. The consensus
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Why?

    3. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Better than getting no attacking returns and NOT being unlucky...

  11. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Who do Lacazette owners have coming in for him from the bench?

  12. Yozzer
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Such a greedy little pri*k Sanchez. Despise him

  13. Teror
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Lacazette has shown why he shouldn't be placed in the same bracket as Kane, Lukaku, Morata and Aguero, and also why he's playing for a team as poor as Arsenal.

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

      Agreed

      1. Winners900
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Morata is not up there too.

        1. Teror
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Morata is probably the worst of those four but he has been quietly brilliant. Double digit hauls in what, three, four games?

    2. Scout Pics
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Did Arsenal touch you when you were young?

      1. Teror
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Nah. Your mum did and I liked it.

    3. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      You do realize he gets 3/4 of minutes they get, right?

      1. Teror
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Maybe he'd get more if he was better.

        1. Pariße
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          😆

      2. Pariße
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Actually not even that, these guys get 80-90 in the CL as well, he plays 70 a week.

    4. Rock n Grohl
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I have doubts about his work ethic and what's needed to get to that next level.

  14. Winners900
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    If we assume no injuries and Morata back after IB.

    Which of them?
    A) Morata
    B) Jesus

    1. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Morata

  15. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Got to love Sanchez when he is in your team.

    Hate him if you only have a teammate.

  16. money face bandwagon

  17. Differentiator

  18. Egg noodle
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Sterling Sane or Silva?
    Ideally want to avoid Silva if possible

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Then avoid him? I don't get it

    2. Typo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      why?

    3. VFORVANDETA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Sterling

    4. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Silva by far

    5. Delph & Safety
      • 6 Years

    1. Monkey Hanger

      No chance.

    2. Pep says
      • 8 Years

    Morata should be fit for Palace right?

    1. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years

      Nobody knows yet, but is quite likely

    2. Over Midwicket

      wouldn't mind kola kicking sanchez in the nutz before he leaves.

  29. Jake Donahue
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Funny that due to his low ownership folk hate Sanchez's selfishness, however last year when he was in alot of teams his selfishness was wonderful.

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Not like he's scoring any of them anyway

  30. Delph & Safety
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    If morata isn’t fit, is the best front 3 for next few GWS is Kane Jesus Vardy?

    1. Teror
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Probably.

    2. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Lukaku?

    3. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Kaku.

    4. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      no Kaku, for pool and hud is a risk.
