The Gameweek begins at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal host Hull City with thousands of Fantasy Premier League armbands placed on Alexis Sanchez.

Owned by 35.3% of FPL managers and topping our Gameweek Captain Poll, the Chilean is handed the central striker role once again for the Gunners, having produced either a goal or an assist in ten of his last twelve Gameweeks.

However, Sanchez has provided just one double-digit return since his staggering 23-point haul at West Ham and he last scored big at the Emirates back in Gameweek 13 against Bournemouth.

His legion of backers will look for that trend to change in today’s outing, against a Hull City rearguard that arrives in North London on the back of successive clean sheets against Manchester United and Liverpool.

The scene is set for a classic attack vs defence encounter, with all eyes on Sanchez throughout.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    I captained Sanchez. Don't care if he scores. Might try give my ML a fair crack.

  4. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years

    I hope Sanchez scores really well.

    I also hope Ibra(c) scores more.

    Wouldnt Alonso or Coleman have been a good Captain pick this week.... seems no defenders get a go on the Captain poll though, to get some votes from the community?

  8. boc610

    il take an assist and a yellow from Sanchez as a non captainer,

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I'll take 2 goals, so long as Ibra gets 3

    Jakupovic is short for a Goalkeeper

    1. Smoky Johnson
      • 9 Years

    2. Athletic Bilbo
      • 9 Years

    Clattenburg is the referee, so no penalty awarded in Arsenal game then!

    Right selling price for Sanchez is 11.3. He's 11.8 at the moment and properly dropping to 11.7 tonight. Thinking of getting him out for Hazard for 3 weeks.

    Do you think his price in 3 weeks will be 11.3?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      No

    Bit random but WTF do you type to get Dele Alli to show up in the Player Comparison Tool? I had to go the long way round and find him in Player Stats or by the Tottenham players page and then choose him from there.... tried "Dele" "Alli" and "Bamidele" nothing works.

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Alli

      The first name is Bamadele...Dele is for short

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Just tried it with Alli, works now. Sometimes my phone / FFS site grinds to a halt in the members area causing it not to load properly.

        Although can Sanchez please be searchable without the accent on the A in his name?

      Alli works for me

    4. Business Cat

      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Was there last time I tried...try AL...maybe it's in as ALI by mistake
