Dugout Discussion – Arsenal vs Everton

A low scoring day concludes at the Emirates Stadium, as Arsenal – equipped with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – take on Everton.

The club record signing will undoubtedly be the big draw, as Fantasy manager are given the first opportunity to assess the Gabon international. He recovers from illness to start, backed by 104,000 managers who have already swooped for the Gunners’ striker.

But Nacho Monreal has been the most popular signing in the Arsenal camp, with the defender earning 127,000 new owners. The Spaniard has been on an extraordinary spree of attacking returns, producing two goals and two assists from his last two outings. However, the Gunners face Everton tonight having failed to earn a clean sheet in their last seven Gameweeks.

Theo Walcott is the key Fantasy asset on show for the visitors. He goes into this match with his former employer as the most signed player ahead of today’s deadline. More than 259,000 managers have drafted in the winger on the back of an assist and two goals from his two outings for the Toffees so far.

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

    Has BFS already decided that Tosun is garbage? I know it takes time to adapt but if he's not on the pitch he's never going to get used to the PL.

      Seems odd doesnt it....

      Not going to help his confidence or settle him into the team...

        Doesn't seem good management from where I'm sitting. Maybe there is more to it than meets the eye?

    Fuchs getting a bonus over Vardy seems a bit odd..

  3. ZeBestee

    Those who watched the game, what are the expectation of the Arsenal attack with those 2 difficult fixtures next? Worth bringing in any now? Or wait til gw29?

      Personally, I think to wait.

    2. MTPockets
        6 years, 2 months ago

        More promising than it was but Arsenal can be a bit binary, inc home/away.

        I'm going to wait for the next two games to pass

      • ZeBestee

        Thanks all. Scoring 5 goals vs Everton is impressive nonetheless.

      Any early suggestions here?

      DDG
      Ogbonna Ota Maguire
      Salah Lingard Hazard Sterling Shaqiri
      Firmino Kane

      Elliot Quaner Dunk Long

      1FT, 1.0M ITB

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Save

        Then wait for the fa cup games

        Then consider transfers with gw31 in mind

      2. UshFPL

        6 years, 2 months ago

        Selling Lingard should be a priority.

        1. arndff_
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Was thinking about Lingard > Walcott. The problem is I've got just 1FT and EXACT cash to do it...

      3. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Lingard to Walcott

        1. arndff_
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Thanks.

          I have to do it tonight, because Walcott could rise and I'll be outpriced then. 🙁

        Hazard out.

          Is this a joke? WBA(H) next.

          If he delivers on Monday, he'll be a captain material for me.

          Cheers Virg, surely C material v Newcastle?

      5. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        He was really good today. The price is a bit inhibitive though.

      6. banskt
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        He was playing much better than others.

        However, he is priced too steeply and is not worth unless captained,

    6. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Can see a dilemma next week on
      A keeping Son (good at home) or
      B transfer to Mkhitaryian (will Arsenal’s away form pick up)?

      1. LǝgleSs e|even

          Yeah, reaction is needed. Hopefully Mahrez will still keep sulking 🙂 I can see a haul tbh

    17. diesel001

      You know it is a bad GW when the Overall average is higher than the Top 10k average.

        You are on fire Diesel 🙂 How many pts today and how many players left?

    18. FPL Virgin

      • 7 Years

      Arsenal play Spurs away, 2 Europa league games, league cup final, then Man City at home.

      Is it worth kneejerking Mkhi or Rambo?

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie

        No. I will stay away from transfers for another week. Then reassess, this has been the maddest Mon-Sat so far this season.

      4. Fred54

        TBF alot of the top teams play 2 UCL games and an FA Cup tie....

      5. Viper

        Nope. Gwk 29 is time enough

      6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years

        Will arsenal play full strength in Europa league?

        Doubt it to be honest unless first leg goes badly

        The main players should have a weeks rest

        1. mookie

    19. Monkey Hanger

      If Pool and Spurs play a goalless draw tomorrow. Weekly average will be super low.

      LOL @me... dumped DCL for Wilson. Jones didn’t play so DCL would have come off my bench and he actually scored. Instead I have Depoitre!

      Lanzini+Arnie>Mkhi+Shaq last week brought rewards in this incredible gw. They have more than covered for their scores last gw.

      I have 5.1 for a defender and am sniffibg around liverpool defenders

      I assume Moreno comes back in soon, def maybe. But what about Gomez - has he made the RB gig his own now ?

      1. skriniar
        • 6 Years

            Surely this week’s rough with the smooth has to have people who still have DCL somehow coming off the bench because Jones was out. That kind of luck I had early season but not now!
