The Gameweek begins at The Hawthorns as West Brom host Arsenal to offer immediate interest for Fantasy managers.

Alexis Sanchez is the main focus. Currently owned by a modest 26%, despite remaining the top scoring asset this season, he is surely a key target for the season run-in given Arsenal’s looming double Gameweeks. However, with obvious unrest in the Gunners camp surrounding the Chilean, his performance and output today will come under scrutiny.

Sanchez starts, although it’s not yet clear if he will lead the attack or be deployed wide on the left, with Danny Welback also named in Arsene Wenger’s line-up.

For West Brom, our expectations are far more modest.

Gareth McAuley has served us well over the season and, with six goals from set-piece scenarios, he will be an obvious threat to Arsenal today. Aside from that, there is limited interest in the Baggies’ camp, although Chris Brunt’s remaining owners will be willing him to deliver on his return to the starting XI having been denied returns in recent weeks.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Losing away at West Brom with nothing to play for, surely he won't survive this summer? Surely?!

      Thats honestly scandalous if Chadli keeps that second assist, in no way does his pass count as assisting the goal. https://u.nya.is/yochrc.mp4

      Bellerin manbun 10 times worse than Firmino's ever was. Maybe even 100 times. My God he looks slimy.

        No way if they are going by their rules.

      Welbeck, Walcott, Ramsey all invisible.

      All of these talentless, spineless, mindless British frauds are dragging the entire league down. Off with them.

    16. CloudSky

      Welbeck no assist equalizer then Brunt winner in 91?

      This is exactly what's wrong with the bonus system. In my opinion this was an assist, but according to the assist rules it isn't, so glad that they are consistent with it and don't award the assist. But this should not be reflected in the bonus since he still created the chance, to award him those 3 extra points or not, should be irrelevant.

      No assist given so far for the Robson-Kanu goal, better give it to McAuley.
