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

          He did play in central striking role towards end of chelsea game but they have kone too remember who is a martinez guy.

          Jelavic maybe we will see decrease of appearances for him now but I guess if there are injuries we may see mirallas play up front, unlikely however for me.

      There cannot be many who have kept faith by now, I know, I am one of them! Fixtures are neither here nor there, and competition for places has got to be increasing with everyone coming back from injury...
      Maybe when the fixtures clear up again. I love the guy as a player, but I cannot be dealing with more heart-break in terms of Fantasy Football!

      Should I use my free transfer to get rid of Nolan or Lampard, or save it?

            You think Lampard will stay against Fulham? I think Nolan as well but he's at least certain of a game.

          What is the likelihood of Hernandez dropping before deadline?

            I guess you mean Pablo? He still has a way to go, so it looks unlikely. But if his flag changes to red people might drop en masse, so not completely out of the question.

          Fonte or Marc Wilson?

          Fonte scored and gets the bonus points, but Wilson is 0.2 cheaper and plays as a mid actually.

          What do you think? Money is not the problem, I have 0.8 extra, potential price rise on one of them could be decisive as well.

            I like Wilson a lot, but he represents a very small rotation risk

            I'm struggling with this decision also.

            Edging for Wilson have no idea why.

              I took Fonte for now, but I'm on a WC, so that might change :/

            I reckon he might start due to misfiring options. Not an Everton fan mind.

              Yes indeed, really like the business they have done with Barry and if they do slot Luk. straight in
              I think he will do the bizz just as he did for Brom.

          A) Lukaku (been burnt by him before)
          B) Bent

            I think all you'll need for another rise is for him to come through unscathed.
