Dugout Discussion – West Brom vs Arsenal

Gameweek 21 and Premier League football in 2017 concludes at The Hawthorns with a clash between West Brom and Arsenal, a fixture that, from a Fantasy perspective, is likely to have little impact.

Sadly, the Gunners have failed to ignite as a source of Fantasy talent, with Alexis Sanchez, in particular, only flirting with our squads. However, last season’s top scoring player did fire a brace in the midweek win at Crystal Palace, while striker Alexandre Lacazette boosted his stock with a pair of assists at Selhurst Park. However, they will need to conjure opportunities without the influence of Mesut Ozil who misses out with a knee problem today.

Sanchez and Lacazette head into today’s contest back by 2.8% and 9.3% ownership respectively, with wing-backs Hector Bellerin (11.3%) and Sead Kolasinac (11.0%) now the most popular assets in Arsene Wenger’s squad. Typically, however, the Gunners have kept just two clean sheets from their last six Gameweeks.

As for West Brom, they started strongly as a Fantasy force but have faded to become an afterthought over past months. Three clean sheets in their last six hint at a revival in defence, though the Baggies have mustered just two goals in those six matches under Alan Pardew.

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

      Aguero looks to be nailed now so could be shrewd.
