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

    Which 4.6 or less defender to bring in?

    Smith or Holebas or someone else?

    I think this might be a good time to switch to 3-5-2 with most 3rd striker options being a bit meh and many midfielders on fire.

    I think a midfield of Sanchez/Walcott/Cout/Firmino/Son is too good to resist even if Diamonde is the 3rd striker

    Thoughts?

    Can you guys help me? 2FT with 0.5 ITB, no wildcard. Willing to take one hit.

    Courtois, Jaku
    Valencia, Stones, McCauly, Friend, Amat
    Ozil, Bolasie, Redmond, Capoue, Antonio
    Ibra, Lukaku, Kun

    Think I wanna give Antonio and Redmond one more week. Probably get rid of Valencia, Ibra and Bolasie... But for who? Any other suggestions very welcome.

    What do you think sounds better?

    A) Antonio to Snodgrass
    B) Firminio to Son/Wally

    My current midfield is Sanchez, Sterling, Firmino, Antonio, Capoue.
    I don't really like Firminio playing as a number 9, even though he scored yesterday. Looking At the stats he looks more like a creator than a goalscorer for me. And is Son going to be nailed on after Kane's back? I'd appreciate your toughts

      Terrible may be a little exaggeration, but yeah, your midfield stinks like a rat's arse.

      Sell one of your expensive strikers (the one who is Zlatan) to boost your midfield. For example, transfer Milner and Redmond to quality mid pricers like Antonio and Son, and your team looks splendid to me.

    So sad Zlatan probably will double-drop before next gw. I know his points lately haven't been that good, but before the game today he had most shots in the league by margin. And after today's game that margin probably rose.

    He had his chances today but didn't score, even if he maybe should. But when he gets back some luck he will score, a lot. He could easily have 8+ goals by now.
