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.

    Sanchez not on for any baps?

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

      Nowhere near

    2. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      this is crazy. he made lots of dribbles, pass some good balls, scored only goal and has less points than markovic

      1. The Enlightener
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        He has been terrible. Blown chances, poor passes, yellow card...etc etc.

        1. Lone Wolf FPL
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          do U watch this game? best Arsenal player

  2. PvA

    Winning goal in a 1-0 game yet gets 0 BAPS

    This is ridiculous

    Markovic is on the losing side yet has 1 BP

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Does being in a side that loses 1-0 mean you haven'the played well?

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

      That's how poor he played

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        say what?

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

          His BPS with the only 'goal' suggesting how poor he was

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

        this

    3. Granville

      How about you take the lucky goal and run.

    4. afcblegend
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez has had a bad game today though. There's been a lot of times where a player I've had doesn't get a single bonus point even if you watch the game and they're running the show.

  3. Dacra
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Gonna be a wait to see in 7 point Sanchez C was a decent choice! Happy with Mustafi on 8 though!

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

      Got Mustafi too, but still 5 mins to go!

  4. Professor Abel X
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    If that's a captain fail then I don't know what some of my picks this season would be called!!

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

      Captain disasters?

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

      Try Kun last weekend 🙂

      1. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Try Kun when he got -1

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

          Add the 2 together for me 🙂

          1. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Well that explains the big red X I suppose

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

    Arsenal have been very fortunate today

    On another day and another referee ArsenalFanTV would be on fire

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

      Probably will still be. Pretty poor performance, especially considering Bayern's up next

    2. Tansey
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Can't properly beat Hull how we meant to beat Bayern blud. I'm tellin you he has to go blud.

    Alexis captainers can consider themselves a tad unlucky. Those with Ibra (C) have hope.

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Lucky or unlucky?

  7. amit1964

    hii
    sanchez with 5 y will not play liverpool on gw 27.......so it is now 26-28..........welcome hazard

    1. Viper

    2. Smoky Johnson
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Confirmed?

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

      Really???

      1. amit1964
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        you dont think so?

    4. Mark-O
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Lol at this

    5. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

  8. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    5 more mins... Is there a sting in the tail?!

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

      Well there's the proverbial cliche.

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

    Sanchez captainers..I'm a non captainer and let me assure you. That isn't a fail.

  10. Optimus.
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Hanchez owners should be happy with 7 points

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      How many puns have you made ?

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

      4 better than Haz will get

    3. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Pawsibly

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

    Come on Hull, wipe out that Arsenal cs

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

      Sanchez will get bps if that happens no?

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

        I don't think so, he's doing that bad. Maybe tho

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

    Hull deserve a draw at least

    Arsenal are hopeless

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Bayern vs this in 4 days............

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

    Why are people shocked that Sanchez has no baps? He's been absolutely terrible. He's given the ball away almost every time he's received it

    1. Still Unsure
        9 years, 2 months ago

        The sense of entitlement is draining around here

      • McQueen
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Agree.

      • Ravager
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I was actually about to post something along these lines. Done nothing positive except handle a goal...add the few offsides as well and you get no baps.

      • ILOVEBAPS
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Same as last week. All is not well at Arsenal. Özil is again terrible.

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

        Yep, he has been very poor.

      Adama Diomande... close

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

        Could do with him getting a run in the Hull team over the blanks...

    4. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      KneeAss is a beast

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

      If they dont get injuries this Hull side wont go down, most hunger and drive ever seen at the Emirates.

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

      This game should be 0-0, with a Jakupovic 11 pointer. Damm you Hanchez

    7. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Easy decision of Alexis to Hazard coming up.

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

        Yep

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

        Considering this, means one less playing in GW28, but probably worthwhile. C material in 26.

    8. Tansey
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Are there many players more diverse position-wise than Antonio

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

        Milner

    9. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Alexis cappers - are you pleased or disappointed?

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

        Disappointed.

      2. b✪mber
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        pleased

      3. Team Bobcat
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Depends how ibra & siggy do as have both and they were my 2 other options

      4. Je suis le chat
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Happy. A solid hedge.

    10. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Zlatans chance.

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

      Who was worse today, Sanchez or Ozil?

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

        Ozil

      2. Clifford☯
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Ozil

      3. Dreams
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Ozil.

      4. Hobolicious
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Özil by far.

    12. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Ozil is a muppet

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

      Ozil play very bad

    14. GinjaWhinja
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Carroll doesn't even make the bench. What an inspired transfer he was last week, not!

      1. Team Bobcat
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Ul man.

        Seems a little injury prone.

    15. JJO
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Please Arsene just take Ozil out
      Pleaseeeee

      1. JJO
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I know you used all 3 subs but you would be better with 10

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

      Arsenal are burnt out, it's awful to see. Just waiting on Zlatan vc to punish me

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Tired from getting pounded?

    17. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

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