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.

    Are Arsenal playing in white and blue?

  9. Somalion

    9 years, 4 months ago

    Still can't get over Arsenal actually letting the Sanchez situation develop to the point where he'll probably leave.

    One of the very top in the Prem.

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

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

      I can. It's Arsenal.

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        This for some reason has went above and beyond what I'd usually classify as being Arsenal.

      Small teams always tend to try against the big teams.

    2. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years

      They have to give the home fans something to cheer about before they throw the towel in after 20 mins
