Sunday’s action gets underway at Goodison Park as Everton and Arsenal go head-to-head in the 1.30pm kick-off.

The Gunners seek a fifth clean sheet in six as they attempt to bounce back from last week’s late capitulation at Watford.

Arsene Wenger recalls both Alexis Sanchez and Aaron Ramsey, who both missed out through injury at Vicarage Road.

Sitting in just 2% of FPL squads, Sanchez has suffered a hugely underwhelming start to the season and has mustered just two assists, though both have arrived in his last two appearances.

Mesut Ozil is handed a first start since Gameweek 5, while Alexandre Lacazette is the most captained player for Sunday’s early encounter – over 143,000 have handed the Frenchman the armband, though all four of his league strikes have arrived at the Emirates so far.

Everton’s disastrous start to the season has ensured that most of us have steered well clear of their main men.

Gylfi Sigurdsson and Wayne Rooney remain their likeliest source of points, though Dominic Calvert-Lewin is worth monitoring as a budget frontman.

Priced at 5.0, the youngster starts for the fourth successive Gameweek and may yet prove a viable option if the Toffees can find their form ahead of clashes against Leicester, Watford, Palace, Southampton, West Ham and Huddersfield in the next six.

    It is a very open game

    Should be a few more goals to come

    I said before season Rooney will be my 3rd striker 100%. But I went with Gabbi (1goal), then Joselu (1goal) and now Vardy wit 0 from 2 matches. Time for Rooney?

      No. Just no

    Breaking news. Arsenal are crap

    1. Syd.
      9 years, 17 days ago

      They should have scored 2 goals

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        9 years, 17 days ago

        But we didn't because we're crap.

    How Ramsey hasn't scored this season yet is beyond me

    1. HamezMace
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Is it?

      I mean Pedro to Sterling is a pretty big flop to be fair.

  8. La Roja
    9 years, 17 days ago

    19 min gone and Pickford on 5 saves

    Lol

  9. Differentiator
    9 years, 17 days ago

    Wait, people really think that Gueye tackle on Xhaka was a foul?

    Must be Kolasinac owners

    1. Football Weekender
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Never a foul, just awful from Xhaka. He does seem to give the ball away in dangerous positions an awful lot.

      1. Pariße
        9 years, 17 days ago

        Because he’s the only midfielder in the team. Why is Ramsey allowed to make forward runs from the position?

    2. Ghost Gooner
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Gueye clipped Xhaka just like Bellerin 'clipped' Richarlison last week. Why the inconsistency?

  10. FlockofSeagulls
    9 years, 17 days ago

    How many seasons will it take for Bellerin to score me some points?

    Anyone?

    Glad I got rid of Kola last week. He is crap with Sanchez playing.

  12. VIRATKOHLI18

    How is Sanchez looking?

    1. n-doggg
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Dangerous but deep

        Sigh, I will never grow up, will I?

    Wowww seen Kola's clean sheets gone already. Look like getting anything going forward?

    1. Differentiator

      Could do

    2. n-doggg
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Very open game

    3. Football Weekender
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Being stifled by Sánchez again. We’ve got a fairly decent sample size now - I’d look to get rid after the Swansea game.

      9 years, 17 days ago

      Putting Ramsey in CM. Should be Elneny.

      Same with Chelsea putting in Fabregas in CM. Should be Kante / Drinkwater / Luiz.

  16. Rainer

  21. OPTA FPL
    9 years, 17 days ago

    Why does Wenger play Mertersacker over Holding?
    I'm sure Merte is the worst CB in the league now

    1. CloudSky
      9 years, 17 days ago

      To be fair, he put decent performances when he played the last few times.

      1. OPTA FPL
        9 years, 17 days ago

        like last game vs Watford?

      2. Sims
        9 years, 17 days ago

        he's always put decent performances in bar an odd game eveyr now and then

    2. Sims
      9 years, 17 days ago

      what rubbish

    3. el polako
      9 years, 17 days ago

      So the rest of the team got someone to look up to.

    5. Stoic

      Tune in for Liverpool later.
      You might have a contendor 😉

  22. Dacra

    Can anyone beat 22 (-8)?!

    Will be all out after Kolasinac and Lacazette in this game.

    Appalling week.

    1. The Knights Template
      9 years, 17 days ago

      that is very tough

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      9 years, 17 days ago

      OUCH

    3. diesel001
      9 years, 17 days ago

      You have to fill your team with players from Utd, City, Spurs and Chelsea IMO. Best 4 teams in the league. Yes Arsenal and Liverpool are decent, but they are not as good so you are effectively wasting spots with their players. Richarlison and a smattering of Southampton / Burnley / Newcastle defenders as fillers.

    4. CFC96
      9 years, 17 days ago

      surely at least 1 of liverpool and/or spurs is essential regardless of fixtures

  23. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 17 days ago

    Bellerin lucky, very lucky not to get a card there

  24. Ben the Mee
    9 years, 17 days ago

    Keane, Shawcross, or Maguire for the run-in?

  26. Pariße
    9 years, 17 days ago

    Ok sorry. I get the criteria now. If you tackle the ball first and then the player it’s a foul and not vice versa. Good.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Because diving in studs up is the same as slightly clipping someone with your thigh

  29. FlockofSeagulls

    I don't think it's so much that Siggy's forgotten how to pass at Everton, but more like he's forgotten how to kick a ball completely.

  30. Syd.
    9 years, 17 days ago

    Looking at the Everton team they have so many past favourite FPL players sadly none of them are very appealing at the current moment

    Pickford, Baines, Williams, Siggy, Rooney

    1. CloudSky
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Pickford looks appealing at 4.9. DCL also.
