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

    One of the questions on the last scoutcast was "can Walcott cover Sanchez?"

    The guys made lots of great points but never really gave a direct answer to the question (even if it was "I'm not sure").

    Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but what are people's thoughts on the advice that was given in the scoutcast?

    I think it was just one of those things. We all knew Sanchez could hurt us and it was foolish and risky to hope that today wouldn't happen.

    But 23 points, though ... ** sob ** 🙁

      Everyone agreed his stats dwindling and Walcott better downgrade to Sanchez than Pedro is to Hazard...I selected Sanchez but sill think it could go either way as now I need -12 for Kane + Costa

    Thinking of doing Lukaku, Walcott & Morgan to Costa, Hazard & Adam Smith for -8. The Morgan/Smith transfer needs to be included to give me the exact funds.

    Worth it? Gives me what's likely to be the template midfield and frontline now Aguero's out of the picture.

    As a non Kun owner, I am actually disappointed about the straight red. Now it will of course be template to have no Kun, I was thinking he would likely be rested during the Xmas schedule as Pep clearly rotates all the time. Have now managed to fit in Sanchez, Haz, Eriksen, Walcott, Kane and Ibra in my team due to the no Kun savings.
