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

    First game went brilliantly with Ibra & Utd def blanking.

    Middle two games went poorly, Kun (C) and Sterling + 3 teams getting a CS.

    Sanchez and kos here, Sanchez captained by looooooads of the top10k so not sure what I want really.

    Seems like Son is looking a price rise, but I think Alli is the one to get. Although he doesn't do as well in away games and they have two coming up after the break.

    Not a very bad start being ranked just over 100 k. However, I made big mistakes on Ibra.. Not starting the season with him.. Getting him after his early form.. Holding onto him for too long., And CAPTAINING him today!!! Got just a goal and assist only from him locking up all those funds could have been used for players like Sanchez or Costa. Selling him tomorrow when I decide on who to get.

    Can spend up to 7.6 but want to less if possible:

    (1) Deeney
    (2) Austin
    (3) Benteke
    (4) Wilson
    (5) Defoe
    (6) any?
