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.

    Hull have come to the Emirates to really play

    1. Shirokov(c)
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      You're surprised?

  2. Bubz
    • 12 Years

    Imagine if Lexi had Aguero's clinical finishing

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

      Pep doesn't understand what you mean

    2. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      He would be Suarez

    3. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Imagine if Agüero had Lexi's work rate.

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

        He'd be injured 99% of the time

    4. Team Cruel

      The Lexi I know is a clinical finisher.

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

        He's really not

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

            • 12 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            I see what you did there 😆

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

      He'd still be at Barca.

  3. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

  4. Fpl Richie

    Does Grosicki not have a left foot?

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

      Depends if you have eyes. 😉

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

        Well do you?

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

    70 minutes to go

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

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years

      Oh come on, it's over and you know it...

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

    1/4 of the game gone

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

      1 goal missed out of the 5 that could have been.

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

        There certainly has been a few chances

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

      Sanchez only starts scoring in the last 15 minutes anyway

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

      Arsenal's record in this early kick-offs at home is generally to score late - last 15 mins or so.

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Giroud up front after the break

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

    Wow check out Hull's bus.
    It's super effective

  8. Keep Calm and Play On
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Knew this would happen, hull defending deep and well to be fair...why didn't I captain siggyboy

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

    Ozil just dont deserve to start

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

    Ozil miss

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      standard of late

  11. Alexis Nonsense
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Grocicki, Niasse & Markovic look really good against Gunners!

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

    Iwobi getting his balls groped

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

    It's just starting to dawn on me that I haven't captained Sanchez at home to Hull or Ibra at home to Watford.

    Oh God. Please spare my blushes Siggy

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

    Ozil you're place is on the bench

  15. Lawrø
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Ozil scupper what would've been a Sanchez assist...

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

    1/4 was great price for less than 4.5 goals in this match, tbh.

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

    Ozil is so useless

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

      He wants a move away this summer

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

    IhateOzil

  19. L'Aeroplanino
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    lol Ozil

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

    Ozil would have scored if he wasn't trying to do it in style

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

    Arsenal will eventually take one of these chances

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

      And it will be probably be soneone like Iwobi

    2. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      In the last 15 to ensure it's not a Sanchez brace

  22. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Walcott is so crap, he's like a lampost out there, no pressing no running. Literally nothing

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

      Really wonder what Perez has to do for a start...

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

        Same goes for Welbeck

  23. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    I benched Bellerin after reading on here that he hasn't trained all week...

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

      You win some, you lose some

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

      He trained yesterday?

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Thought he would come on for a cameo?

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

    No trust in Cech there

  25. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Congrats Jaku players

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

      After one save ??

  26. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Sanchez loses more bps by going offside

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

    Offside, but still what a save by Jakku

  28. Alexis Nonsense
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Niasse & Grocicki to become differentials?

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

    Do arsenal know where the target is?

  30. Ziro
    • 11 Years
