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.

    Which option would you prefer?

    A) Lingard to Ramsey
    B) Son to Mkhitaryan

        Cheers! Think Arsenal will come better than Everton

          Well, good luck with that fixtures.

      Neither- prefer Lingard to Walcott. Need to see if Arsenal’s away form improves

          Ahh, its the money now. Should have said so earlier. Fair enough.

            6 years, 2 months ago

            Actually, hadn’t checked with The money before, AS I hadn’t considered Walcott before you gave me the idea. Could consider Son and Lingard to Walcott and Ramsey/Mkhitaryan for -4

    Eddie Jones is such a crap biased rugby commentator. Mind you he did come up with "Rob Carney drops one" today.

      You mean Eddie Butler?

    Quick question about some lingo on the site.

    If someone says, for example, wildcard GW30. Does that mean play the wildcard after the matches of GW30 in the week before GW31.

    Or does it mean wildcard during the week before GW30?

    Cheers haha

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years

      Before

      Thanks guys!

  4. LǝgleSs e|even

    Rooney and Siggy would have made a big difference in that game. Dont know what Sam was thinking.

  5. IRBOX ⚽
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    FFS! Ramsey first sub 🙁 took a hit to bring in Wilson for DCL and benched the Welshmen. Chance of a Son no show?

    1. Zilla
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      10%

    2. LǝgleSs e|even

      As slim as the Sun not rising tmrw

    3. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Why on earth was Ramsey your first sub against Everton ? If you're not going to start him against them why bother owning him ?

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Because my team is sick and I had a major benching headache

    4. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Man, I don't think I could handle having a 20 point player on the bench. Probs delete my team

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        I’m tempted to

        1. Maddi Son
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Haha I'm just messing man.

          You must have a decent squad if you're able to bench Ramsey.

    5. el polako
      • 6 Years

      Feel for you bro.

    6. SEXY SON
      • 7 Years

      Ouch!!

  6. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Best option to replace Lingard (trying to keep it under 6.5, if possible):

    Gross, JWP, Can, Shaq, Choupo, Gundo?

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

      Ibe

  7. FlockofSeagulls
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Lol at Arsenal only scoring one goal in the second half!

    They're shit. 😆

    1. Sims
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      funny

  8. doncastro
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Got in Ozil this week...5 goals for Arsenal and no assist in sight. How is that even possible! 🙁

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      He signed his new contract, no need to bother anymore.

    2. Not again Shirley
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      lol I bought ozil in for a hit (could and should have been a decent differential) and captained. Also brought in jones as wanted Man Utd defender and look how that turned out.

  9. Sedemuda
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Wow 3 out of the top transferred in are Mkhi, Auba & Ramsey with Spurs & City next.
    I’ll have a look in a couple of weeks I think!

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Smart, just focus on Wally. As rooney and siggy will be back next week. Silly Sam

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

      I think transferring one of them is not a bad decision even with the fixtures.

    3. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      By which time they will be .3 more thanks to the jerkers
      And ramsey will be injured again

      1. Sedemuda
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Yes!

    4. Rik Waller
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Checking the fixtures? loooooooooser...

  10. Robbo121
    • 11 Years

    Gross and DCL saving my week... never thought I would be saying that!

  11. Cookie Kid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Ben Davies

    Yes or no?

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Nope, even if TOT keep a cleanie tmrw

  12. Kanteisking
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Is a score of 16 not that bad with 4 to play and Salah (c). Feels like a shocker of a gameweek so far for most

    1. Rik Waller
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      average with captain left

      1. Kanteisking
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        That’s what I figured

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      It's ok.

      1. Kanteisking
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Yes but not a disaster

    3. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Average is 21 from 6. With 61% captains played.

      1. Kanteisking
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Ok so just below. I had Shaq on bench also which annoys me, chose him over Lingard

  13. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Dcl to start next week partnering niasse?

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Rooney and Siggy wil be back. Forget about DCL and Niasse

    2. Robbo121
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Groß bandwagon incoming!?!

      1. Robbo121
        • 11 Years

        fail 🙁

  14. Pilgrim62

    What you guys think about Kenny? Is he still nailed?

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

      Not with Coleman back

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Didn't play last game so the nails are gone.

    3. Dee Lixon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      No, Coleman probably just rested

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

    Who would you start next GW?

    A) Maguire
    B) Dunk

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

      B

    2. LǝgleSs e|even

      mag

    3. mookie
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      B

  16. Sarri-ball
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Plan was
    Aguero/lingard to augbameyang/kdb

    Do I stick we plan or keep aguero and

    Chupo moting/lingard to mkhi/walcott (2night)

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

      Just do Lingard to Walcott. Kun to Aubameyang perhaps week 29

      1. Sarri-ball
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        I don't really like my Chupo moting pick now.

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

          Can you do Choupo-Moting to Walcott then? Keep Lingard for Newcastle game

          1. Sarri-ball
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah lingard (new) or Chupo (BRI) to walcott

            Get mkhi or augbameyang in few weeks

  17. Legohair
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Best replament for lingard?zero in the bank...

    1. Dreaming of glory
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Shaq. Jwp. Stanislas

      1. Legohair
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Or maybe Lingard&Otamendi out->Ramsay&5.6 def in?

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

      Ibe

    3. Not again Shirley
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Always liked Shaq when not injured. TBH today is the first time he has really delivered but on set pieces and nailed.

  18. Rik Waller
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Sell Lingard or Rich first?

    1. Reuser
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Rich. Would give Lingard the Newcastle match and then reassess.

    2. Dreaming of glory
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Both? Not sure lingard will be a regular now with sanchez and he had the early hook today

  19. FlockofSeagulls
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Did Monreal get injured or did he come off due to, as Big Spam would say, "protection"?

    1. Reuser
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      A "small knock" apparently.

      1. FlockofSeagulls
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        "Thanks" 🙂

  20. Eddie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Any current LMS safety score estimate?

    1. mookie
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I reckon i'm out this GW. 🙁

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Might be single figures.

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        If it is I might be in luck. Got an inkling everyone has had a shocker this week.

        Unconnected, at some point everyone who had Arnie must have considered bringing in Ramsey then thought better of it. Screw you Choupo Moting.

  21. Shardlow
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Any suggestions who to swap Masuaku to? Got 0.9m, would be rotating with Mee

    1. Dreaming of glory
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Lowton back in and only 4.3....

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Is he though? Wish he was

      2. Magic Bean
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Do you think Lowton is guaranteed a start now?

  22. Dreaming of glory
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    What are those who already knee jerked walcott in doing? Knock another knee to the ram or miki?

    Fair play if ur bringing them in with those fixtures. I dont think spurs & city will equal the same returns

  23. SEXY SON
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Atrocious week so far, 12 points.

    Got 2 FTs to sort out this lot, any ideas appreciated:

    Adrian
    Alonso | Jones | Mee
    Salah | Sterling | Hazard (VC) | Mili
    Kane | Aguero (C) | Ayew

    Elliot | T.Carroll | Simpson | Dummett

      Looks decent to me. Your GK is crap though.

      1. SEXY SON
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah I know, any ideas who to get instead?

        1. Magic Bean
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Fabianski has served me well and has some decent fixtures for 4.5

          1. SEXY SON
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Cheers, think he's 4.6 now though damn

  24. FlockofSeagulls
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    If the overall average is 3pts I should get a nice green arrow this gw. 😉

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

      And on 6 points I would be on double the average! - I wish!!

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      20.6pts so far

      But Salah, Firmino, Son Kane, Hazard and Alonso still to play

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        I'm pretty much holding out solely for Alonso at this point.

  25. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Worth holding Stones? Got Francis and Ogbonna on the bench who can always come in when needed

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Depends what other issues you might have

  26. Ha.
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Best Ota replacement?

  27. Je suis le chat
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Swansea's next 5 fixtures are blue on the ticker, also blue for each of their opponents. Might get Alfie in for Ogbono!

  28. N00B
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Martial was my captain today so I am pretty angry with him. Stick or twist ?

  29. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    I have exact funds for:

    Stones & Pogba > Coleman & Miki

    Ya or na

    1. mookie
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Why would you want an Everton defender?

      1. Lanley Staurel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        To get 2 points in GW31.

  30. Francescoli
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    In my half sleep this morning, did my first rage trade of the season. Hope the hits pay off in the long run.

    Ryan, Stones, Son and Walcott —> DDG, Smalling, Mhiki and Ramsey

    1. mookie
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Good luck!

    2. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years

      How many pts hit?

    3. SEXY SON

      You didn't do too badly today then!
