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.

      Agreed all he is good for is holding up the ball terrible striker

      WBA more or less with 6 defenders back everytime Arsenal got the ball

      1. timski8000
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        It's called defending - Arsenal might want to take notes.

      WBA on top for me.

      Good game actually.

      why is sanchez dropping so far back to get the ball stay up front

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

        Given the players around him I think it's obvious why he has to do all the work

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      Kim Kardashian tried it but I honestly think if Rondon scored a goal then he would actually break the internet

    18. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    19. ILOVEBAPS

      McClean has seriously fluffed at least two great scoring chances.
