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.

    2. Alnair

      No, he could get back in BPS if Arsenal lose their CS...

    Anyone considering Markovic as an option for GW26 and 28?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Played very well

  4. Sess!
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Have people forgot Sanchez has attacking points in this game.

  5. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Could do with Hull cancelling out the Arsenal CS points...

  6. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    This has late Hull equalizer written all over it

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Unfortunately I agree.

  7. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Big test for west ham fpl options. Are they any good without big Andy?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      better

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Really? No recognized striker playing.

    2. Business Cat

      Glad I played Brunt over Phillips 🙂

  8. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years

    Sanchez to be taken off shortly

  9. Richd
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Oh boo hoo. Our captain scored a goal. What a awful result.

    We had lukaku captain last week. Can't always happen

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Never say never. Kane, Ibra, Lukaku and Jesus all still to play.

  10. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Well done Sanchez sellers

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …

      Stephen Shemlit on the BBC

      'Alexis Sanchez has been excellent today. There's been chat about his attitude, maybe a sense of frustration from the Chilean, but he's been everywhere, chasing the ball life his life depends on it'

          You could've done much better than that 😆

          All I'm seeing here are a couple of Pool fans once again talking about Manchester United.

      Kosc getting 9 is the worst part of it all (WARNING - BPS may change after FT)

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I don't have him - but he has made some important blocks and interceptions and is still on to keep a clean sheet.

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Not saying he doesn't deserve it, he does! Annoying with his ownership is all.

      Dodged bullets all season with early transfers for price rises/ price fall avoidance.
      Luck ran out today with Andy Carroll. I can neither grumble or be surprised 🙂

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, we knew what we were gettimg into when we put him in our team.

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

          Blinded by the blanks!

      2. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Was on the Scoutcast a couple of weeks ago. Discussing getting Andy Carroll in for the blanks...

        "Andy Carroll is like buying an icecream, then saying I'll really enjoy eating that in a month's time"

      Wenger thinking of Sanchez out Giroud in

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

      Sanchez to play 90. C'mon!

    10. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez

      90 minutes confirmed

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

        Incredible Sulk averted

    11. Mookty
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Given that there may just be 6 teams that play in GW28 (BOU, EVE, HUL, SWA, WBA, WHU) (Source https://twitter.com/FantasyFooty247/status/828051169796902912), who is the best second striker for GW28 to play alongside Lukaku?

      1. SWA - Lorente
      2. WBA - Rondon
      3. WHU - Carroll
      4. None of them. We should just ride out out premium strikers having the game week off.

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

        Surely this should be a hot topic...

    12. Alnair
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      No Giroud :O

    13. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      No Giroud - Alexis WILL play the 90!

      Sanchez 90 mins

      Time for a red

      Wenger finally putting the correct players on the pitch with 8 minutes remaining

    18. Granville

      Wenger makes the same subs every game no matter what the situation is. Such a busted flush.

      1. Arctic monkeys
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        He is above United

      2. Grand Thibauto
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Its like he is playing football manager and wants his 4231 to be the best formation that other managers will download

      3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        He lacks a plan B . That's why you can never put him with the greats imo.

      Captained özil.... sweet 1pter to bring me down to earth after Lukaku captain last week.

      In light of blanks, ozil out to who? I have siggy, phillips, capoue, hazard

      Can't afford sanchez unless i downgrade kane or kaku

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Ars blank next GW.

    20. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Just don't bring holgate on for a 1 pointer

    21. Catsandhats
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Any thought what i should I do with this team with the coming blanks?

      Foster / Grant
      Alonso / Coleman / Brunt / Holbas / Amat
      Sanchex / Countinho / Alli / Phillips / Deroon
      Ibra / Lukaku / Defoe

      bought Sanchez at 11m
      Bought Ibra at 11.2m

      People are suggesting Sanchez to Hazard but this seems counter productive if Hazard is to blank in GW28

      I was thinking:
      Sanchez > Snodgrass for GW26
      Coutinho > Siggy for GW28
      Amat > Yoshido for GW28
      Snodgrass > Sanchez for GW29

      Any thoughts?

    22. SirStevieG
      • 13 Years

      Why am I disappointed my captain is only on 7?

      1. MTPockets
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Because you didn't captain Aguero last week.
