Saturday’s events draw to a close at the Emirates Stadium where Arsenal host Manchester United.

Once a fixture of huge significance for Fantasy managers, it’s fair to say that both teams have declined as a source of talent this season.

Romelu Lukaku heads into today’s match having suffered significant ownership losses over the previous two Gameweeks. He was sold by 234,000 ahead of today’s deadline, while some 356,000 moved him out in the previous Gameweek. The Belgian has just a single goal in his last seven Gameweek starts, recording three assists over that spell.

Interest in Paul Pogba has also slowed. He exploded with 12-points on his return to the starting line-up in Gameweek 12 but has since returned just an assist and saw his ownership dip by 6600 ahead of this match.

Meanwhile, Man Utd’s defence has produced just one clean sheet in the last four Gameweeks, with Phil Jones’ absence perhaps a key factor.

Arsenal have just started to hint that they could provide us with assets to consider.

Alexis Sanchez – last season’s top scoring player – remains on the periphery as part of just 2.7% of squads but Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey are showing form that could yet tempt investment.

Ramsey has produced attacking returns in five of his last six Gameweeks, supplying four assists and two goals. Meanwhile, Ozil is fresh from a 17-point return in Gameweek 14.

Elsewhere, Alexandre Lacazette is, rather surprisingly involved in the tea-time kick-off. Arsene Wenger had stated that the Frenchman would miss out against Untied, but he starts and leads the Gunners attack.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      You don’t agree?

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I guess it could go to either Lingard or DDG

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        No, DDG saved them

        1. Majestic Chanka
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Exactly, 14 saves!

    When you transfer in Salah and Pogba and transfer out Coutinho :'(. Why didn't I stick with the Coutinho differential?

  6. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Alli> Coutinho/Mane(-4)??

    Worth keeping Alli?

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I have seen them given

    2. Cookie Kid
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Definite pen but Dave would’ve saved it

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      80 percenter

    4. TRE2
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Quite clearly a penalty in my eyes

    5. AnfieldLad
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Pretty clear penalty tbh

    6. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Crystal clear a pen.

    7. My Name Is Prince

  13. Paul Psychic Octopus

    Lingard MOM for two tap-ins?? DDG a dozen saves or more.

    Clown.

    1. Plant Based FPLer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Not that Cech is good (he's atrocious), but the first one wasn't a tap in. Bps is a joke though, I agree if that's what you mean.

    • 16 Years

    Oh dear Romelu

  15. threeputt

    Matic has been the best player on the pitch, but wont get the bonus points because of this ridiculous system

    Ramsey wastes a chance ...yards away from goal

  17. FPL Bargain
    • 12 Years

    A) Bringing in Hazard, Calvert-Lewin Pope tonight (potential risers)

    B) or wait for City game and potential repercussions?

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years

  18. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years

    DDG owners would be cheering if Arsenal won a pen you just know he would save it.

    1. Cookie Kid
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I’d definitely take my chances for a +5

    2. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      As an Arsenal supporter I'd still be hoping for a De Gea penalty save.

      Is that wrong?

      1. Postman Ty
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        You're not an Arsenal supporter then...

        1. Eddie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

            • 11 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            You're not a real fan.

        2. Eddie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          They could score of the rebound

      2. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Well i am a United fan and i would hope Arsenal would score it if that helps. 😉

      Join the DDG club. Loads of the FFS community will call you a casual, but you can take comfort in the points you get.

    One of the all time great goalkeeping performances and a brace on the counter beats him out for MOTM?
