Dugout Discussion – Arsenal vs Hull City

11 February 2017 2261 comments

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.

    Despite Burnley being strong at home I think Costa will be hungry to get a goal or two. I am confident in him as my captain.

    Have Sanchez, but went against giving him the armband. Not really that mad, could have been worse.

        I almost sold last week as I lost 0.1 when he dropped to 11.8 Thanks to advice on FFS I didn't. With the blanks coming he's going to drop even further. As I am crazy about SV, I'm tempted to sell now. Maybe GW 27 isnt much to worry about?
