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.

      100% hopefully? Hehe

      No way he'll get 3 now, hopefully 0!

    What % of WBA's goals this season have come from defenders? Must be at least 50%..

      Must be huge. I owned Rondon for 6 games and he blanked, plus in the 2-3 games since. It's their defenders scoring from set pieces, and we are DREADFUL ABYSMAL UTTER DOGSXXX at defending them.

      Was agonising over Pieters - Dawson, I looked at the stats and was also close to captaining as well.

      If Sanchez keeps 3 BAPS it is scandalous

  9. Venom Snake

    Sanchez really is wasted out on the flank

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      So far on the flank he's sitting on the bench.

    Dawson 2 goals Sanchez 1 goal

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Defenders get less for a goal

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Attackers get more bonus for goals than defenders.

  18. Lawrø

    Sanchez injured

    1. Individual
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Was he injured? I just wondered if he looked like he was walking lopsidedly when he went off

      fake injury to miss Chile games 🙂

      1. Pieterke30
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        never in a million years mate

        Sanchez WILL play for Chile even if he is really injured.

        1. FFSbet.com
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah,just joking.

    3. Pieterke30
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      dont think so.

      was a bad kick but dont think he is seriously injured. he could well make it worse if he pays two games with Chile though - which he will

    Get the flags out for the lads

    Just noticed no Morgan for Leicester. Might make us more susceptible at the back.
