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.

    How's this looking?

    Lloris**
    Alonso - Maguire - Masuaku**
    Lanzini** - Sterling - Son** - Richarlison
    Morata - Firmino - Kane(c)**

    Bench: Elliot - Dunk - Kenny - Surman

    A) Wildcard to bring Alli, Arnie and Aguero in and wipe out hits.
    B) Richarlison to Arnie (-4) and -12 altogether
    C) Leave as is - 5 is enough

        Eriksen usually plays 90, Alli more likely to get a Red, Son more likely to get hooked early.

            Yes. And, looking at his minutes, my word is Eriksen due a rest. Seems much less likely to be able to play two full games than Alli. Or you could see that as Poch just not being able to take him off. WE DON'T KNOW. The one thing I can tell you, I'm gonna be very, very happy when all these identical DGW questions do one.

          Ince was a tidy player. Utter shit manager though.

            Agree with your 1st statement. I even see what you're saying with your second point but still think it's possible to say Bergkamp was better at what he did than VdS was at what he did.

              possibly, but then look at who won more trophies and whose performances influenced more trophy winning teams - the guy scoring or the guy stopping the other team scoring

                I would say Bergkamp actually did better in terms of honours and that this verifies my point more than yours tbh. I'm guessing you're perhaps a Man Utd fan? EvS played for Fulham for you - a point worth bearing in mind. Anyway, it's NYE - let's leave it there - happy new year.
