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.

      Everton and Swansea still good IMO. WBA agree. I took a -4 to get rid of Brunt and Rondon.

      Yeah its been horrific having coleman, lukaku & siggy lately! Should have got rid

  6. diesel001

    9 years, 1 month ago

    Looks like Sanchez has gone up front now. Welbeck on the left.

        Arsenal have a Russian owner

        I'm sure he could arrange for something to be done about it

    Chadli on 20 BPS. You should lose BPS for completely failing to track your man and letting him score.

    I heard WBA scored from a corner.

    I benched McAuley & Brunt. That a nervous few minutes. Phew!

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Well there's an important life lesson for you.

        However, Mané and Pool perform against the big sides so I'd wait until that match is played before drawing conclusions.

    2. MTPockets
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I did, but Mane hasn't played yet.

      • slamdunk

    4. JogaSemmedo
      • 11 Years
