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.

    Sanchez needs to shut his mouth. Do your talking with the goals and assists.

    United vs WBA next week... maybe Mkhi or Mata isn't the craziest idea after all 🙄

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years

      Was tempted with a Firm -> Mata punt this weekend but held on.

      I could easily be persuaded to get one in next week...

    Sanchez should definitely have got a yellow there.

    Sanchez owner.

    1. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years

      Would be a yellow at the start of the season, when everyone's banging on about respecting the ref.

    Btw this plane sound is annoying

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years

      Sounds like we're back at the South Africa World Cup with the vuvuzelas.

    Does Walcott cover Alexis?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      No. But Pedro covers Hazard.

    2. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years

  18. ILOVEBAPS
    • 14 Years

    I have McAuley benched so he will at some point get onto on of these corners.

  19. Atimis
    • 9 Years

    Alexis has that Aguero "I desperately want a red card today" look about him

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

      It shows that he cares

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

        Yeah I quite like a player with a bit of passion about the team winning

  27. JÆKS ⭐

    Early transfer question but King owners keeping him during this hard run of fixtures that's coming up?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

    2. Sif
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      At least one or two to see how Bournmouth play. Losing is fine so long as they score whilst at it.

    People must be watching a different game to me. Arsenal 2nd best so far.

    Goal was their only chance, WBA a threat every time they go forward.

    1. Individual
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah, hoping for some Bruntinho involvement soon!

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Arsenal need to leave another player back for the counter attack

      Best comment this match.

      Though hope she's alright. That isn't fun from experience... though I burnt my hair with a lighter..,
