Saturdayโ€™s events draw to a close at the Emirates Stadium where Arsenal host Manchester United.

Once a fixture of huge significance for Fantasy managers, itโ€™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 todayโ€™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 Utdโ€™s defence has produced just one clean sheet in the last four Gameweeks, with Phil Jonesโ€™ absence perhaps a key factor.

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

Alexis Sanchez โ€“ last seasonโ€™s top scoring player โ€“ 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.

    Next week;

    Play Daniels (cry) or Ward (WAT) - Have Pope.
    Play RLC (BOU) or Richarlison (bur)

    1. Shake n Bake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Daniels and Richarl

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Daniels and Richarlison imo

    xG
    Arsenal 4.6 - 1.9 United

    ๐Ÿ˜†

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years

      lol, xG doesn't account for DDG going into beast mode

      1. Mick J
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        This. United should probably get a lower xGC just because they have de Gea.

    2. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I don't fully understand these stats but will continue to ignore them

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Basically xG gives a rating to every 'shot' (kick, header etc.) depending on all sorts of criteria.

        Based on the 'shots' in this game the score should have been Arsenal 5 - 2 Man Utd.

        People think of xG as expected goals and get fooled into thinking its a prediction tool, when its a rating tool.

      What is xG?

        Never mind

    DCL price rising tonight? Have the 0.1 & a FT to swap for niasse

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Nowhere near!

    2. Shake n Bake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Not tonight

    3. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      33% last time I checked, certainly not tonight

  4. Rash
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    That was final straw for me with Kane and captaincy.. will keep him but going to switch between hazard salah sané for next few weeks

    1. Pocky
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Same here, got Hazard in for the armband this week, can't see me taking it off him for a while.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Same

    2. Nightf0x
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yes same as me i captained him and hazard no this GW and lost 13 pt

  5. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    I Want to get morata next GW to replace jesus , but must be done with a hit so:

    A) sane --- mahrez
    B) richarlison --- gross
    C) niasse --- 4.5 forward

  6. Maddi Son
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    It's a real shame Allardyce is Everton manager now. Their defending has been atrocious this season and Salah captain would've an easy pick this week.

  7. OldBenKenobi
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Need advice folks!

    Thoughts on Sane & Wilson > Hazard & DCL -4?

    Probably needs done this evening before price rises.

    Current team below:

    Pope, Elliot
    Alonso, Mustafi, Mee, Naughton, Dann
    Salah, Sane, Sterling, Richarlison, RLC
    Kane, Morata, Wilson

    0.9 ITB 1 FT

    1. Winners900
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I'm doing Sane+Vardy -> Hazard+ DCL -4p

      Need to change formation and get Hazard. Will probably rise 0,3 this week?

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I just hate doing it before the player I’m dropping have played ๐Ÿ™

        1. Winners900
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          De Gea+ Sane or Fabianski+Hazard what you think?

          1. OldBenKenobi
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Fab and Haz

  8. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Pogba > who for 8.4?

    Have Salah, Hazard, Sterling and Richarlison.

    1. Ballistics
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Ramsey

    2. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Ramsey

    3. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Ramessi. Keep the change.

    4. Mick J
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Downgrade elsewhere and get Coutinho in for a hit?

    5. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Nice midfield

  9. Teror
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Trippier >

    A. Maguire

    B. Christiansen

    1. Monkey Hanger

      B.

  10. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years

    Pick 2 from rlc and richalison and sane
    Pick 2 from Daniels mee dunk

    1. JaydenLFC87
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Sane mee

  11. Sims

    how come choupo moting's flag removal did not resent him to 0%?

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yellow flags don't reset players to zero anymore.

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yellow flag removals don't get players reset, only the reds that do as far as I know

  12. JaydenLFC87
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Which is the better Pogba exit strategy out of the below???

    A) Pogba VVD > Coutinho Gomez

    B) Pogba Jesus > Hazard Rooney

    1. Foozeball
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      B, although DCL is an option over Rooney if you want the extra money for improvements elsewhere

  13. Foozeball
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Suggestions on what to do with Eriksen now? At this point, should I give him a chance at home against Stoke?

    Was looking at Sigurdsson as a replacement (don't want any more City assets), but Liverpool away is a terrible fixture for Everton. The money could be nice for upgrading T.Carroll or one of my defenders though :/

  14. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Predicted minutes for following players tomorrow?

    A. Sané
    B. Jesus
    C. Otamendi
    D. Daniels

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      A - will start
      B - dont know
      C - 90minutes
      D - 90minutes

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      0
      No clue
      90
      90

    3. Mick J
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      A. 0 minutes,
      B. 63 minutes,
      C. 90 minutes, and
      D. 90 minutes.

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        As a Jesus owner I am reassured that the 4 city experts at the Manchester evening news think Jesus will / should start...

  15. Boz
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Kane + Wilson > Firmino + Laca?

  16. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    0.5 itb and already made 2 transfers (-4). Do I sell Pogba for a further hit or wait a week and only have 1 functional sub?

  17. Timon
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Pog to Ramsey is a no brainer

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Unless I can afford Coutinho

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        You*

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      How so?

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Unless you are Team Cruel.

  18. Viper
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Early days I know but how does this look for next week (with 1ft used)

    Foster (Elliot)

    Mee Daniels Moreno (Otamendi Duffy)

    Sterling Salah Gross Hazard (RLC)

    Kane Morata Wilson

    The following week I'll do Foster - > Courtois

  19. TSILIKAFENEIAKOS
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Didn't see the match - what happened to Mustafi? Do you think it's serious injury?

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Limp offs usually result in one game missed at least. Prepare a backup plan.

  20. Lone Wolf
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Ota, Eriksen, Choupo, Lukaku > Smalling, Hazard, Cou, Firm -8?
    exact cash!

    1. Egbunike
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yes! Or Jones instead of Smalling if he comes back soon

    2. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      That actually looks very good but surely you can do better than Smalling?

      1. Lone Wolf
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        5.4..who would you get? got alonso btw

        1. Viper
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Have you considered Maguire? Good fixtures and a goal threat. Leicster tightening up too

  21. Sims
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    0.8 ITB and 2 free transfers

    A) take the choupo fall and get richarlison later with a downgrade elsewhere or

    B) get Gross/shaqiri for Choupo with 1 FT now?

    Not using both free transfers now with ucl coming up

    1. Dušan Citizen

      a

  22. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Kane to Vardy good move?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      No

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        why?

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Kane can tear it up in an instant.

    2. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Kane has Stoke and Brighton next, I'm giving him 2 more weeks and if he blanks he's gone for Lacazette I think.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Not sure if he deserved. Vardy and Siggy/Ramsey for Kane and Gross/RLC could be better solutions

    3. TallestJohn
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Not the worst option but with the premium midfielders hitting form I'd rather get a cheap striker and get more than one of Salah, Hazard, Sane, Mane etc. in midfield

  23. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Mee or dunk if u have richo next week

  24. Foozeball
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    I think Trippier might have to go. Tottenham has only Alderweireld as first choice CB. Unless Juan Foyth turns out to be a massive hidden gem, Tottenham's defense is going to have even more problems the next few games

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Vertonghen*

      1. Foozeball
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Yes, my bad ๐Ÿ˜†
        I meant Vertonghen of course!

        1. Dušan Citizen
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          sure, sell

  25. arndff_
    • 14 Years

    45pts after bonus...

    Daniels, Otamendi, DSilva left to play

    So average ๐Ÿ™

    1. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Plenty of points to be had yet, do not despair ๐Ÿ™‚

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Could have been worse.

        1. arndff_
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Maybe ๐Ÿ™

          Gone (K)ane and have Niasse...

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years

      Above avg

    3. Hotdogs for Tea

      Is that a #humblebrag ?

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Nah. Disappointed with the result. Lots of people write here how much they scored. Dont know whats the problem.

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

          25 with a -8 to take off for me

          45 isn’t really ‘so average’ and I think you are having one of the better scores this week with decent green arrows

    4. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      23 with Sterling, Sane, Daniels to play...

    5. Gilberto.
      • 12 Years

      44 with the same 3 left....buuuuuut, Cork flying off my bench with 2 points. Get in! ๐Ÿ˜›

  26. TLF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone know how serious Hennessy's back injury is ? I'd planned to bring him in this week to double up alongside Speroni but will deal with Niasse instead if Hennessy is out for a while.

    1. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Niasse’s price is protected for a week.

      1. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        I know, but Calvert Lewins isn't

  27. rdamjan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Worst GW ever for me.

    Which 3rd striker to get for Hazard? DCL?

    With one hit I can get even Firmino & Coutinho instead Hazard and DCL. #kneejerkisreal

  28. FPL Virgin

    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    I wish we heard from Jay on here more. He was so sure about captaining Hazard. ๐Ÿ™

    I was suspicious about the old guard heavily backing Kane (c) this morning. It smacked off not moving with the times ... looking to rely on a former FPL great while ignoring what was happening this season.

    What a head-spinning gameweek!!!!!

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      Who the fluff is Jay?

    2. Sims
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      "former fpl great"

      currently the leading point scorer in forwards in fpl

      no.2 in race for golden boot

    1. JustPark
      • 10 Years

      Don't think so. Probably fit by this weekend.
