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

    It's just like the time when Ibra and Aguero (C) both scored 13 pts in GW2. Now Aguero, Ibra and Sanchez are all going to blank. It's looking like Romelu was the right captain choice but the polls had him at 15%.

    DEF Stones, Mcauley, Valencia, Amat, Bellerin
    MID Antonio, Sanchez, Bolasie, Capoue, Firmino
    FWD Aguero, Benetke, Lukaku,

    For -8 I`m considering;

    Valencia to Vert
    Capoue to Joe Allen
    Antonio to Son
    Bolasie to Snodgrass

    Couple of questions, is Joe Allen expected to continue playing advanced? and secondly I guess i`m going to have to move on this tonight with Vert and son rising.

    Looking at the ticker allen and snodgrass could be shrews moves
