Dugout Discussion – Arsenal vs Bournemouth

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

      As expected I guess. Seeing as I'm not losing value from first price drop, I'll be happy to use my time to assess replacements

        Yea, this.
        Guess we have time but it's massively falling.
        Won't have more than 2-3 more days before a double drop.
        He is the most owned player after all.

    Of course Sanchez scores the early goal and looks like scoring 5 when he's out of my team.

      I know Wenger and Özil both want him to be more forwards and score more but Özil's passing is suffering a lot. Been tardy too many times, most un-Özil-like

        Too good stats to ignore ESP for those who can't cover Kane .
