After Stoke’s narrow win at Vicarage Road, we now make our way to the Emirates as Arsenal entertain Bournemouth at 2.15pm.

Having led the line against PSG in midweek, Olivier Giroud drops back to the bench, despite netting five times in his last five appearances across all competitions.

Alexis Sanchez is stationed up front, then, with his 22% FPL owners looking for an improvement on the form that has seen him score in just one of the previous six Gameweeks.

Certainly, we need the Chilean to step up in a weekend where Liverpool pair Philipp Coutinho and Roberto Firmino, along with Chelsea’s Eden Hazard, failed to deliver the goods.

Utilised off the bench against PSG, Theo Walcott returns to the starting XI, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain also finding a place in the hosts line-up.

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

      I'll never understand why defenders don't mark players instead of space. Sanchez was the only player in the box, all you had to do was say with him. didn't even look for him.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        They should also try not passing the ball to him...

        This week yes - but over the season? GW15 onwards looks good for Hazard

        1. jurgenklopp.8
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          looks good for sanchez too (I have both, so not bitter)

    5. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      That last goal has knocked the stuffing out of me a bit.

      1. Sims
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

    7. Sims
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

    11. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I had a bad feeling about Firmino, but still captained him. Literally every other player around him scored big.

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Sounds like you had a good week then

        1. Pariße
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Pretty much, but it's quite bitter when you captain the worst possible.

      2. JJJ
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        every other player around him scored big eh?
        so sad...... false brag

    21. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Lets go Zlatan(c)

    22. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Xhaka to steal the 3 baps off Sanchez ?

      1. the axolotl
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        53 to 31. doubt it

      2. Kirton Hoops
        • 11 Years

        Not ATM

      3. Le _ Professeur
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Walcott to steal the 2 baps off Xhaka most likely

    23. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Rashford and Lingard on the wings. Meh.

    24. Kermit Special
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Sanchez and Aguero have proper done me in, for swapping them out. In the end is better to have both.

    25. janowsc
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Wow, Llorente played 25min and got 15 points, option?

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Won't play Palace every week

    26. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      What's the better partnership for the rest of the season?

      A) Sanchez+Nyom
      B) Mane+Van Dijk

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        That's some long term planning. Well, Mane is going to the ACON (is Nyom?) so A probably.

      2. jurgenklopp.8
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        could you afford sanchez + cedric?
        If you have another pool mid i'd say A, but not sure how nailed nyom is.
