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.

    Sunderland to beat Southampton? Odds are at 3.80 on betway. Might put $20...

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Easy win imo

    2. MITHRRANDIRR
      • 13 Years

      Think Southampton will improve and may get a result to stop the rut.

    Not only shouldn't have been a goal, but a yc too. Especially celebrating a 'cheat's' goal

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

        that only matters if you want to sell him. short of an injury, i can't see myself getting rid of sanchez this season.

      Sanchez is putting two fingers up to Hull by scoring that goal (along with two more fingers and a thumb)

      1. Duffy Dunk
