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

      Giroud. Coutinho out injured for Pool will surely effect Sturridge in terms of chances created, whereas Giroud still has Walcott and Ozil.

          Haven't a scooby I'm afraid, I'm not sure if stats will tell you much about Mourinho's thinking.

          Just speaking anecdotally, Ivanovic seems to have nailed down the right back slot, and Hazard has played every minute so far in the PL. And Lampard... maybe see if he plays the full 90 tonight.

    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?

      I was looking at Arnautovic too. Mainly as a way to afford Soldado/Benteke > Suarez.

      Couple that with my dislike/distrust for Rooney and I'd go C).

      This however will be the only vote for C) you will get.

      Too much of a Rooney fapfest around here.

      B. Rooney is on fire... as is Sturridge... and the both have a nice run of fixtures. Moyes gave Rooney a 30 goal target, so he will play.

      If you can afford .1, Kassami may be worth a punt. With injuries to Bent, he will likely play in the forward role.

      My thoughts are Benteke because Coutinho will be out and there may not be such good link up play without him. And probably HBA as it would save me money to upgrade my defence next week.

        Do you still think Sturridge will score points without Coutinho? I'm not sure how Suarez coming back will affect him either so seems like Benteke is safer option.
