The Dugout Discussion – Burnley vs Arsenal

Gameweek 7 comes to its conclusion as Burnley welcome Arsenal to Turf Moor.

The Gunners roll up on the back of four straight league wins, with Alexis Sanchez and Theo Walcott both in fine recent form.

The Chilean teed up Walcott’s pair of strikes in the midweek Champions League win over FC Basel and with three double-figure hauls in four, carries the armband hopes of many at Turf Moor.

Walcott has now notched five times in seven across all competitions and has risen to 6% ownership in Fantasy Premier League.

Another big performance today would surely kick start a bandwagon over the international break, yet Arsene Wenger’s side face an obstinate Clarets rearguard that has conceded just five goals in the previous 17 league matches in front of their own supporters.

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

    I have 2FT and 1.0 itb.

    I wanna do Benteke > Costa at some point, so I'm thinking of doing Foster and Jaku to Pickford and Grant. Mane to Coutinho later and I'll be able to afford Benteke > Costa.

    Have the exact money now so price changes tonight would mean I'd get priced out of it so had to act fast. Now time to sleep 🙂

    Pick Foster
    Holebas Smith PVA Amat Williams

      How about Ibra to Stuani and Capoue/De Roon to Walcott for free.
      Wait on Son an extra week while he plays West brom as you can play Stuani home to Watford.

      I'm almost forced to get Son this week because of funds but ideally I'd wait a week.
