Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Arsenal

After Harry Kane blanked yet again at Wembley in Spurs’ narrow win over Crystal Palace, we move to the Etihad as Manchester City and Arsenal go head-to-head in the 2.15pm kick-off.

Sergio Aguero, Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling have shrugged off any concerns over rotation for the home side, with all three named in the starting line-up.

But the Gabriel Jesus exodus could pick up pace as he’s named among the subs – over 203,000 sold the Brazilian last week.

Both Aguero (9%) and Sane (2.5%) are among the top 10 captains in Fantasy Premier League for Gameweek 11. The Argentine has scored in each of his last three at the Etihad, while Sane is seeking a fifth successive double-figure haul at home.

At the back, Nicolas Otamendi’s owners need him to be on his best behaviour today. The City centre-half has four yellow cards to his name, with one more caution set to earn a single-match suspension.

For the Gunners, Arsene Wenger has sprung a surprise by dropping Alexandre Lacazette to the bench. Sitting in 11% of FPL squads, the Frenchman is another premium forward who can expect big sales to follow – Arsenal have visits from Spurs and Man United and a trip to Burnley in the next four.

It looks like a role up front for Alexis Sanchez as a result of the reshuffle. The Chilean has delivered points in three of his last four league outings and, with an ownership under 3%, could yet emerge as an explosive differential.

        No he doesn't, he was offside in his assist

          Still done much more today than Ramsey did 🙂

      5 losses of possession to Silva's 2. Probably won't keep it.

    Wilshere is the best player in that Arsenal team.

    1. Deano

      Ramsey?

  3. ooooo
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Jesus + Silva + vardy to Abraham + Mane + Lukaku(C) -4

    Should I still do it? Have Otamendi but can bench him for dunk.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I'd really advise not to take hits

      1. ooooo
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I think this can be worth i though. Only made 1 hit so far this season

  4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    Is Kn injured again?! See him wincing getting up off the bench

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

      *Kun

      1. Deano

        Slight limp from that intake of breath affecting his ribs when his penalty looked like hitting the post!

    jones start?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yes, he's starting.

    2. CFC96

      yes

    Should I play wildcard ?thanks

    1. Kroneek

      Nope

      1. optimisticpig
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        May i know the reason?

        I find it hard to play 3 defender
        Otamendi suspended
        Suttner/Lowe not definite starter
        Southampton defence is poor

        1. Kroneek
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          I think you have about 70% of the template already - you are keeping Kane, Lukaku,Salah,Rich,Mee,Tammy in anyway. Have some patience and play that defence - Ota is only one game. Stick and save some transfers. No major surgery needed.

  7. Rainer

    KDB - 3
    Kun - 2 (even after goal winning BPS added)
    Ramsey - 1

    Silva might get one.

    What to do? I'm pretty set on Bavies > Jones but would you sell Brady or Cedric for a hit?

    Choices are Cedric > Ward/Mee or Brady > Gross/Shaqiri/CM.

    36 with 3 to play...it's not great is it. Rank to slip a bit this week me thinks...

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 8 Years

      37 with 1 to play here. Count your blessings.

      1. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        It's been a poor gameweek, for some big players...oh well, international break to clear the mind.

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        I guess a few are in the same boat, esp Kane captainers. Still, it's only 1 gameweek...

    As a KDB Kun Silva owner, that couldn't have gone much better 😀

    Silva will probably nick that bap from Ramsey as well.

  19. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Richarlison vs Kenny, this will get ugly!

    1. F4L

      Ri(c)harlison time

  20. XabiAlonso
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Sanchez to Ramsey?

  21. Maddamotha
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Does anybody know how serious Alli's injury is?

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Poch said it was minor. Expect him back after the IB.

  22. Viper
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    47 with Jones to play.

    Yet again another bang average gwk. Struggling to break 60 any week...

    1. Sims
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      top 10k average is 33...

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Is it? 😯

    2. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      That's decent

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      That's brilliant this week

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        That's surprising but I suppose not many big hitters did the business

    4. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Exact same score and also Jones left.

      Its currently well above avg, so take it and run.

      Breaking 50 or 60 is a false myth, the range of the 'acceptable' score changes every GW.

  23. evilfish
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Ramsay, you bap thief!

  24. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    a Hazard brace would do me fine.

  25. England23
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    With Otta suspended should I play

    1. Jones and Mee (Have Abraham)

    Or

    2. Jones and Fernanindo

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Jones and Mee. It'll be tough for Tammy to nab something vs. Burnley, but it is possible.

  26. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Top 10k - 33.5
    Overall - 29.5

    Still only 8 & 7 players played respectively.

    1. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Ah thanks, big last two games to shape the gameweek then!

    2. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      overall will have Lukaku & DDG as a big %. Also quite a lot will be waiting for players off the bench.

  27. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Any idea what a reasonable score is at this point?

    39 with Hazard and Richardson to play. If only I had captained Salah instead of Firmino =(

  28. Differential C (Mark)
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    30 points (BAPS included) and Hazard, Jones, Kiko and Richarlison to play.
    Average week for me, I guess.

  29. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    wow crap, just realized Luiz is dropped completely.

    now i got a 1pointer from the bench

  30. Ramboros
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Ramsey ended on 90% passing accuracy and Silva on 79%. So close to bonus for Silva.
