Starts training next week, but I think he'll take a few weeks more personally...

Wenger said on Dec 2: "Debuchy is one week away. He is training. Could he be involved next week? Certainly."

I would suspect he will be on the bench this weekend at Stoke and then starting the following Saturday at home to Newcastle (fitting enough!). In my opinion Arsenal's first choice back 4 would then be:

Debuchy / Koscielny / Mertesacker / Gibbs. Calum Chambers would be first choice back-up if any of the first 3 are injured/suspended. Monreal first choice back-up for Gibbs and second choice back-up for Koscielny and Mertesacker.

Bottom-line is that it's time to start planning an exit strategy for Chambers, who is currently owned by just of 20% of the game. I think Debuchy would make a great replacement and he currently only costs 0.1M more (though many people will lose some value when they sell Chambers as they bought him at a lower price).

chadli's gametime big doubt

Very similar to my team for next week. I would hold.
Who do you captain?

same here 20 after tuesday... fin at 94.... I expected around 75

if Kane can keep a spot then A if not then b

Some typed Azlipacueta earlier.

Funny

Not for me. Is it for a hit?

Don't double up on Chelsea defense. If you want 3, go for a defn + mmid + costa.

C, with Baines as first replacement on the bench.
Ideally BAines should not be benched for any game, but City look like they will roll through pretty much anyone right now.

Between A and B, more confident in a soton cleanie than Baines picking up attacking returns

C

I dunno but I see they have a same thing: online here 20/24

😯

No, I'm definitely greater than this Martin guy.

The horrific truth

Who is Martin Unreal?

Silva is supposed to be back the next GW? he would slot right in

Downing?

why not brady

siggy

4.4? No one mate unless u want 2points every week come join me with marney

LOL I read it as Calories...

Nice score

wtf are you worried about?
Get fab out only if you're getting hazard in.

don't take hits... caulker to hutton is good.. will provide you money to upgrade fab to Haz may be...
keep checking Ings form/fixtures

You are worried that team looks shit?

I would be more worried about the Bolton team than your's TBF. Just may be Caulker -> Hutton as totaljustice suggested.

How can you afford that backline? are you light in the midfield or upfront?

I'd consider ally cissoko if I were u nailed on and not a card magnet

You need to move Clyne out first. Move Coleman out as well, and invest into your front line!!

Hi Pep.

Hey big boy!

Early flight 🙂

Hey Pep!

I'd sacrifice Muppet to have Unreal back.

T2E

Move out Tadic first.

baines > azp is the epitome of a 'kneejerk' move. almost disgusts me. when you bring in baines, it's a long term tactic since it's almost certain that he will come good in the long run. if he gets a 1-2pter, take it on the chin

Everton can't keep Cleanies & Mirallas has soaked up his attacking threats. So frustrating to see Azpilicueta on a roll at 1.2m less!

amateurs..

Soldado, Adebayor, Townsend, Kane apparently.

yup

Spurs had bought Soldado for Penalties. 😆

Remove Clyne!
Since you already have adequate arsenal cover with Sanchez, no point having Giroud

😕

Cesc & Wilson --> Erisen & Azpil (-4) here

ay chico

I'd play Kane every week he did really well against Chelsea at the start

I'd do it. I'm bringing in either Kane or Benteke this week. That's right Harry Kane can contend with Tekkers, imo 😉

When'd yo uget him in?

What's th deal with Chadli?

Don't worry mate, I did both of those things too :/

I hate Baines 😮

It was a hard decision to leave Ser Leighton out of my WC. So far so good. But he will continue to tick along nicely.

Is it Yaya???????

Pelle?

Not Fellaini!?!

Benteke?

Hart

Take a CB. their FBs will be rotated way too much to justify their place in your line up.

Nailed on against Hammers.
