The first of three Sunday fixtures gets underway at 12pm as Arsenal entertain Brighton.

Alexandre Lacazette boasts some fine home form ahead of the Seagulls clash, with four goals in his first three outings at the Emirates.

The Frenchman is the most captained player for today’s match and third overall in the Gameweek, with 4.5% of Fantasy Premier League managers handing him the armband.

Alexis Sanchez claimed his first returns of the season last Monday against the Baggies and has another chance to audition for those wildcarding over the forthcoming break.

As has Aaron Ramsey – at 7.0, he’s bagged points in all of the Gunners’ home matches so far.

At the back, Arsenal have racked up three straight clean sheets and will face Watford, Everton and Swansea after today’s match. They’ll need to make do without Laurent Koscielny this lunchtime, though, as the Frenchman misses out with a recurrence of an Achilles problem.

Pascal Gross has been the Seagull’s star performer over the opening six.

Priced at 5.7, the German has played a part in four of their five goals and another contribution today could see his 13% ownership rise further.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    That hurt as a Kolasinac/Ramsey owner 🙁

    HT bps update:

    Monreal (23)
    Ryan (15)
    Bellerín (14)

    Monreal and bellerin are just taking the piss out of us kola owners 🙁

      Frustrating isn't it.

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)

      Especially the ones who got rid of Bellerin for koala on their wildcard.
      Sickening.

    2. Football Weekender
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Chasing points that. Can’t see Arsenal keeping cleanies in their next two. Away to Watford then Everton.

    3. Pompel

      Rather go D Luiz because of fixtures

  6. FlockofSeagulls

    Hopefully Wenger brings on Gazette in the second half.

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

      Im sorry who is Gazette? Laca right?

      1. FlockofSeagulls
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Wilshere.

        I call him Gazaette because it rhythms with Wilshere.

        You dumb human! 😆

          1. FlockofSeagulls
            • 8 Years

            Surely all you humans can't be that dumb?

  7. F4L

    Arsenal defensive owners are constantly let off . Getting lucky , c'mom brighton....

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Indeed. It's hard but you have to accept that this game carries a huge luck component.

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah i know. Always seem to be on the wrong end of it right now though

    2. Kun Tozser

      Hmm ticker says CS

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        More referring to their opposition constantly hitting the woodwork , coming very close etc

    3. Hot Fuzz
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      not with lazy bones Brown at the top for them , he is terrible just watched him the last 20 min nothing, not a movement ... you wouldnt believe ..hope HUGHTON taking of after the break ...

  8. Fanta sea
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Very frustrating being a kolasinac and laca owner. Neither player is really getting into the game enough. Kolasinac has no help from Sanchez so it's harder for him to get forward. With Laca, Brighton are playing compact in the center making it very hard to get him in the game unless it's a counter attack

    1. Football Weekender
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Kolasinac was completely pinned to that far touch line for the whole first half. He’s probably been told to stay out there to leave space inside for Sánchez to exploit. Very frustrating as an owner.

  9. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Odds on a Kolasinac brace in the 2nd half?

    1. Ha.

      I think vs West brom as well.. arsenal looked dreadful in 1st half.. but second half they controlled the game well
      I want arsenal to concede though .. gross March anyone just score

  11. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years

    Come on Brighton. Score, please!

    1. F4L

      Showing you around Hollywood is bad?

    3. Sonic

      I don't think you really need to. Can you get Kane in with two transfers?

      1. NestorC
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Maybe, but will need to lose erik for sure than

    4. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      With looking probs not, although it will be difficult to get Kane in otherwise

      1. NestorC
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        If its only Kane I could take a hir or two if everything else is ok

        1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah core is strong. A lot of WCs might not look that different to what you'd end up with with a hit or two!

  15. S.Kuqi

    How many points is too many to catch up at this stage?

    1. TheBusDriver
      • 10 Years

      150

    2. Yellin' in my Ear

      151

    3. ILOVEBAPS

      8 years, 7 months ago

      Depends on chips used

    4. Atom&Humber
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      You can pretty much make back any lead at this stage, just focus on your team and using your chips correctly and you'll be fine

    5. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      There is 31gws left. No amount is too many.

  17. Bellerinmondo

    How is Kola looking ?

    1. TheBusDriver
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Bellerin looking better

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Big and strong

    3. Football Weekender
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Should’ve had an assist but apart from that he’s not been involved at all.

  18. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Looking like a decent wildcard for me. 70 after yesterday and Monreal, Lacazette, Ritchie and Salah playing today.

    1. George James
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Very nice, well done

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years

      Really nice! Well played

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Monreal is a good call.

    4. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Cheers guys. Just glad it wasn’t a disaster. 😀

    Putting my finishing touches to the WC, and have one major dilemma:

    A) Mee and Richarlison
    B) Otamendi and Atsu

    With A I'd probably play 3-4-3 more, with B more 4-3-3.

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      B

    2. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      B

  20. Ask Yourself
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Richarlison worth keeping or do Antonio + him for Hazard and RLC for free?

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Swap. Good diff

    2. Carlton_Goal
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Worth keeping and RLC not worth getting in imo

  21. Sims
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Kolasinac very unlucky not to get an assist today

    1. TheBusDriver
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      and very lucky not to concede

    2. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Probably going to shift to Azpi soon enough, Arsenal just not settled

  22. Mambino
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    What about Stones instead of Ota?

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Nailedness wins

  23. Frank Koscielny
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Don't know about the rest of you, but with a clean sheet + one or two bonus points I'd be quite satisfied with Kola returns. He can't help Ramsey is shait

    1. fatherted
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I've got Rambo 🙁 🙁

      1. Frank Koscielny
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        That's on you, not Kola 😉

    2. Bald Eagle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      6 points would be great for Kola but we all expect more from him. 😉 He won’t get bonus today probably, he has to deliver something. I know he’s close to Bellerin but there will be more goals.

      1. Frank Koscielny
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I did expect more myself. However, complaining over 11-5-6 and maybe 6 over the last four has bad karma and misfortune written all over it

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      If Kola doesn't score or assist he won't get a bonus

  24. fatherted
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    I transferred out Jones for Monreal thinking he wouldn't play so his clean sheet didnt go down well. Cue Monreal goal and I was certainly a touch happier 🙂 🙂

    1. Meeseeks
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Exactly the same. High five!

  25. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years

    A brighton goal and lacazette YC would be great

    1. TheBusDriver
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      this

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Gross goal

    3. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      After Kola gets subbed and Laca brace

    4. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A hat trick for him would be better.

      *Monreal brace and Rest of the players to be red carded in the 90th min

  26. milk_7

    8 years, 7 months ago

    Hello folks, your thought on picking one from below?

    Azpilicueta (6.6)
    Bellerín (5.9)
    David Luiz (5.9)
    Kolasinac (6.0)

    Next five games
    Arsenal: Watford (A), Everton (A), Swansea (H), Man City (A), Spurs (H)
    Chelsea: Crystal Palace (A), Watford (H), Bournemouth (A), Man Utd (H), West Brom (A) Thx

    1. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Well I'd pick Azpi if money no obstacle

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Luiz for me

    3. Carlton_Goal
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Azpi definitely best option there.

  27. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Ramsey, Kola gave it to you on a plate.. How hard can it be to score a goal

    1. Sims
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Was a great save. Not much more he could have done

  28. Sims
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez has ruined kola somwhat

    Looked like the most attacking wingback when playing with welbeck

    1. Football Weekender
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      He really has. I posted this before but it’s clear he’s been told to hug the touch line to create space inside for Sánchez. Means he has almost zero involvement as he’s essentially a chess piece in this game. Frustrating.

  29. KOLASINA(C)
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Jeez, Kolasinac owners are complaining, cause he's going get a clean sheet, seriously?

    1. Sims
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Didn't buy him for cleanies.

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      For 6.0 need more than cs.

    3. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      But he is your captain 😉

    4. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I anticipate that most own him due to attacking potential

    5. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Happy with a CS still a return

      Like saying you're not happy with your 6m mid going getting an assist

    6. PocketZola
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      No its because he is a beast and being shackled by a crap manager

  30. Ginola14
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    @thebusdriver how's the rage WC coming along?

    1. Football Weekender
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      He’s too busy moaning about everything and anything to tinker right now I reckon.
