Having failed to score in Arsenal’s first four fixtures, Theo Walcott’s start to the season has been a major disappointment. While Olivier Giroud racks up the goals, the Gunners winger has yet to get off the mark and with Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey offering alternatives across the price points in the Fantasy games, Walcott’s case for inclusion in our five-man midfields hasn’t exactly been a convincing one.

With Arsene Wenger’s side primed for a superb run of fixtures which sees them face just two of last term’s top six in the next 10 Gameweeks, investment in Arsenal’s main assets seems a sensible tactic. Bearing this in mind, in this latest members article, we delve into the data and assess Walcott’s displays for the season in comparison to the previous campaign.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Currently languishing around the 1.1m mark after a poor start, and need some advice as to whether you think I should WC this lot (coutinho injury is a factor).

    Current team for GW5 having already spent an early FT on bringing in HBA is:

    Boruc (Davis)

    Turner / Cole / Collins (Shaw, Chester)

    Walcott / HBA / Brady / Jedinak (Coutinho)

    RVP / Soldado / Giroud

    If WC'ing I'd be looking at something like:

    Boruc / 4.0

    Evra / Vert / Shaw / Williams / Wilson

    Walcott / HBA / Moses / Eriksen / Jedinak

    Rooney / Sturridge / Giroud

    I know I have missed out on price rises earlier this week but feel I need to take action now to stop the rot.

    What do you reckon, WC, yay or nay?
