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

    Looking at the rankings the top five or something managers have neither aguero or ibra. Make sense to ship them both out and make way for a big midfield?

    I don't know what to do with this lot. Any help appreciated.

    Karius
    Koscielny, Holebas, Kelly
    Sanchez, Sterling, Firmino, Snodders
    Deeney, Aguero, Lukaku

    Jakupovic, Capoue, Coleman, Amat

    2FT 0.3m itb.

    Thinking of just cashing in on Jaku and taking the 0.1m. His price can only fall now.

    Worthless GW (yes, Ibra (c) ), but trying to look forward.

    Narrowed it down to three choices:

    Ibra + Antonio ->
    A) Sanchez + Deeney/Defoe
    B) Walcott + Costa
    C) Whatever you guys suggest

    Team atm
    Sterling - Firmino - Antonio - Snodgrass - Capoue
    Aguero - Ibra - Lukaku

    Hazard+Capoue>Walcott+Son for 2FT then play all out attack to have a team of:

    Pickford
    Valencia Holebas
    Firmino Walcott Son Antonio Snoddy
    Aguero Ibra Benteke

    Kinda like the idea but all thoughts would be greatly appreciated:)

    Son or Sterling?

    Son:

    BOU (A)
    LEI (H)

    Sterling:
    EVE (H)
    SOT (H)
    WBA (A)

    Sterling's fixtures edges Son's. But Son's form is hard to ignore.

    Appreciate your thoughts!

    What do you prefer?

    A) Deeney + Capoue (8th attacker 3-4-3) +8 points

    B) Son + Stuani (8th attacker 3-5-2) -8 points

    Benefit of B is that it breaks open the space for a 3-5-2 all season. (If that's even a good thing)
