The Dugout Discussion – West Ham United vs Arsenal

3 December 2016 3023 comments

A dramatic Saturday comes to its conclusion as West Ham United take on Arsenal at the London Stadium.

All eyes are on the Gunners’ Alexis Sanchez as he looks for a fourth double-figure haul on the road.

Having scored twice against Bournemouth last week, the Chilean headed into Gameweek 14 just one point off the top of the Fantasy Premier League standings.

An injury to Philippe Coutinho has prompted new interest in Theo Walcott – the wide man earned more transfers in than any player last week after notching his sixth of the season against Eddie Howe’s side.

The search for a new midfielder means we’ll also be monitoring the display of Dimitri Payet, with the Hammers’ schedule taking a turn for the better from Gameweek 16 onwards.

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

        No Aguero, have Kane (C) with Costa and Hazard.

        Too bad Pickford lost his CS, would have had 3 CS's for the first time this season.

        What a bloody beautiful game that was earlier. Maybe the two best managers in the game. Such contrasting styles. Both teams executed their game plans perfectly. On another day it would have been 3-3.
        For lovers of the tactical side of the game that is football at it's finest.
        Aguero, ridiculous brain snap. Pep will not be happy at all. It's already clear aguero is not the kind of player he wants up top. When he returns Jesus will be days away from debut...

        looks like a few big decisions are coming up for everybody...
        I currently have 0 FT and 2.4 ITB:

        Foster Grant
        Alonso Lovren Williams Holebas Amat
        Hazard Firmino Walcott Sigurdsson Fletcher
        Costa Kane Austin

        What to do? Do I just sit on my cash and wait? Or do I try to upgrade Walcott to Sanchez or do I try to get De Bruyne involved?

        (A) do noting and wait.
        (B) Siggy / Williams / Foster -> De Bruyne, Nyom, Pickford (-12)
        (C) Walcott -> De Bruyne (-4)
        (D) Walcott / Williams / Foster -> Sanchez / Nyom / Pickford (-12)

        I am leaning towards (B), because it covers all the top teams and I think Walcott is great value. However, it costs me 12 points and just getting De Bruyne for Wally in looks like an options as well (or even just wait?)

        Help would be much appreciated!

          Swapping straight to Butland once he's back. Grant has been wonderful and Stoke's defence is one of the best in the league currently. 4.6 is unreal value for a keeping who loves a save and deserves to be England No.1 aside from Heaton.
