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.

    Why is Monreal doing this?

    1. Sánchez
      9 years, 17 days ago

      I know. Since when did he ever score

    2. FlockofSeagulls
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Because he's a selfish basturd.

    3. Fred54

      Took him out before GW1...

      1. FlockofSeagulls

      I brought him in on a WC - got both his goals. Don't begrudge me a little fortune .... I started today with 13 points.

    Sanchez has killed Kolasinac attack appeal...totally ignores the great runs on the left. Was better when Sanchez wasn't in the team, well from a Kolasinac pov lol

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

    Sanchez should be playing for the reserves team...has no team spirit at all

    1. HamezMace
      9 years, 17 days ago

      His little outburst at Ramsey was amusing.

      Think he's tired of carrying the team for years single handedly.

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        9 years, 17 days ago

        There is no such thing as carrying the team single handedly. He is however their best player.

        1. HamezMace
          9 years, 17 days ago

          I think there are several examples of players carrying teams, Steven Gerrard did for many years.

    2. HNI
      9 years, 17 days ago

      HE wants to leave and no better way than to atttack own teammates :p

      1. HamezMace
        9 years, 17 days ago

        Well letting his contract expire is technically a better way to ensure you get to leave.

    Ownership:

    Xhaka 12%
    Rooney 10%
    Monreal 9%

    1. Ghost Gooner

      Xhaka 1st sub 🙁

  8. Arteta

    Need a goal or assist from Kola today.

  9. TheBusDriver

    Ozil having a great game tbh.

    1. TheBusDriver

  10. FPL Emu
    9 years, 17 days ago

    Pretty good illustration of how big the luck element is in this game.
    Monreal on average less goal threat than every other Arsenal defender. Basically hasn't scored before in his carreer there. Suddely gets two goals for the owners who got him for his price

    1. HashAttack
      9 years, 17 days ago

      His price was a factor but he'd been getting BAPS and assists too - plus Sanchez's negative affect on Kola

    2. Fred54
      9 years, 17 days ago

      I dunno he always got the odd assist and for some reason him scoring doesn't seem that alien.

    3. the snazzy viking
      9 years, 17 days ago

      and people still argue that it's the skill that gets you points..

      It's pure luck, but some think by using stats they will do better. That is the case in the long run, but every goal that is scored and every assist is mainly luck

  11. GOTHAM City F.C.
    9 years, 17 days ago

    This game is exciting 😀

  12. Rainer
    9 years, 17 days ago

    Pickford 😆

  13. fedolefan

    Christ Monreal utterly destroying me.

  14. Debauchy
    9 years, 17 days ago

    Pickford racking up the saves

  15. Sims
    9 years, 17 days ago

    paid premium price for kola and instead it's the cheapie monreal getting the goals

  19. fusen
    9 years, 17 days ago

    It is so painful being a lacazette owner

    Never in good positions in the box

    1. flyingheelhook
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Had a one on one?

      1. fusen
        9 years, 17 days ago

        The one time he was standing in clear space with no defenders next to him but he still wasn't quick enough as Pickford was on him within a second

    2. Fanta sea
      9 years, 17 days ago

      it's because the wide men (Ozil and Sanchez) like to cut in alot which cramps the middle up so much. When Welbeck and Iwobi are on, there's more space in the middle for Lacazette. It's not perfect but it's enough space for him to score.

      By the time Kolasinac and Bellerin join the attack, Lacazette is well and truly marked. Arsenal doesn't make it easy for Laca to score.

    3. HashAttack
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Only another 20 minutes before Laca goes off anyway

  20. Viper
    9 years, 17 days ago

    I thought Monreal was Ramsey for his last 2 goals 🙁

    Surely Ramsey will bag today

    1. Majestic Chanka
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Hoping for a little bit of 13/14 Ramsey

      Ozil looks to be good for him today though

  21. Fanta sea
    9 years, 17 days ago

    Sanchez's attitude is horrible. Now's he's showing his frustration at his teammates wayward passes as if he's never misplaced a pass himself.

        BBC*

    2. HamezMace
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Feel for him though. If I was as good as him, and I knew I could be playing in a team scoring 4-5 goals every week, getting service from KDB and Silva etc, but instead I was stuck in a mid table team, with people like Ramsey who can't make a 5 yard pass under no pressure, I'd probably react like that too.

      1. Fanta sea
        9 years, 17 days ago

        I don't feel for him.

        I'd actually let him rot in the reserves based on his attitude towards his teammates. No one man is bigger than the club. It's irrelevant that he could play for City. All that matter is that he's under contract and that he should give his all for the duration of that contract.

        1. HamezMace
          9 years, 17 days ago

          He's only human.
          If you handed in your months notice at work tomorrow would you continue working unpaid overtime, and going the extra mile for your employer?

          ....and it's not even like he's not trying, or saying he's injured, he's just showing his frustration at poor play from his team mates. He wants to do well.

    3. HNI
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Manutd need him for free soon. But only if Mou is kicked as he breeds negativity and contempt

      1. Fanta sea
        9 years, 17 days ago

        He's no doubt a quality player, even world class but I don't want him at United. A player with attitude like that is not something I'd want at united personally. No one man is bigger than the club and he seems to think he is.

    4. FlockofSeagulls
      9 years, 17 days ago

      He knows he's going in January so couldn't give a fffff about arsenal or his current teammates.

      He's purely playing for the love of playing at the moment.

      1. Fanta sea
        9 years, 17 days ago

        I don't think that's a good quality for him.

        1. FlockofSeagulls
          9 years, 17 days ago

          In fairness Ramsey can't pass for shit.

  22. HashAttack

    Just like to say thanks to Monreal and Azpi for keeping my week respectable

    1. HNI

    Even arsenal fans are booing when Sanchez is on the ball

    1. Cok3y5murf

      How do you know those were Arsenal fans?

      1. Sim Simma

        Why would Everton fans boo him. They love him

    2. Fanta sea

                    4 goals for Salah might make it close but we should be more than comfortable.

    Pickford should be locked into the number 1 England role until he reaches David Seaman's age and develops chronic arthritis.

      He's been spilling everything today, probably two good saves. Butland better
