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.

    Everyone on here wanting Ibra to match Sanchez and I'm just here with Luka(c)u waiting to be trolled next time I check the scores. Have a good afternoon all.

    Alexis is closing in on the FPL pantheon at this rate -- could definitely clear 250, fixture congestion will determine if he can get closer to 300.

        I have both.

        I will get rid of both for a (-4).

        I will gamble on Lukaku hauling next week and the price difference then will have jusrified such move.

        Although Lukaku would be a very viable captain option next week out I am very tempted to give Rondon the armband. I may have nothing to lose.

        Sanchez will go for Ericksen/Alli at the moment.
