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...

      1. Hooky
        8 years, 8 months ago

        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
    8 years, 8 months ago

    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?

    1. arndff_
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Personally, I think to wait.

    2. MTPockets
      8 years, 8 months ago

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

    3. Viper
      8 years, 8 months ago

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

    4. ZeBestee
      8 years, 8 months ago

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

  4. arndff_
    8 years, 8 months ago

    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
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Save

      Then wait for the fa cup games

      Then consider transfers with gw31 in mind

    2. UshFPL
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Selling Lingard should be a priority.

      1. arndff_
        8 years, 8 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, 8 months ago

      Lingard to Walcott

      1. arndff_
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks.

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

    4. Zenith UK
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Hazard out.

      1. arndff_
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Is this a joke? WBA(H) next.

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

  5. Monkey Hanger

    Aboomerang speaks very good English.

  6. barracuda

    Is Sanchez worth it?

      Hell no.

      Look at his stats today. Top for the gameweek so far.

      1. barracuda
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers Virg, surely C material v Newcastle?

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Has to be part of the conversation, defo.

    5. ZeBestee
      8 years, 8 months ago

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

    6. banskt
      8 years, 8 months ago

      He was playing much better than others.

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

  7. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 8 months ago

    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
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Son to Wally

      1. LǝgleSs e|even
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Ars are lousy against good teams. Everton were just awful today.

      Fernandez + eriksen?

  12. el polako

    If only I'd played Shaqiri.. my decision making this season is really poor 🙁

  13. LǝgleSs e|even

    Will Auba's goal be disallowed?

      no

    Planning to save an FT...which I rarely do. But it will be nearly 3 weeks before I can touch my transfers page.

    I might explode.

      No

      1. barracuda
        8 years, 8 months ago

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

  18. diesel001
    8 years, 8 months ago

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

    1. barracuda
      8 years, 8 months ago

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

  19. FPL Virgin

    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
      8 years, 8 months ago

      No

    2. Epic Fail
      8 years, 8 months ago

      No

    3. barracuda
      8 years, 8 months ago

      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
      8 years, 8 months ago

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

    5. Viper
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Nope. Gwk 29 is time enough

    6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      8 years, 8 months ago

      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
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Would've thought EL is their N°1 objective.

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

        EL best chance of CL next season

  20. Monkey Hanger
    8 years, 8 months ago

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

    1. Viper
      8 years, 8 months ago

      4-4 hopefully

    2. skriniar

    Cant wait for the big green on Monday when autosubs hit and Pickford comes on for Elliot!

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      8 years, 8 months ago

      I have Elliot coming on for Pickford.

  22. Desperately Seeking Dusan
    8 years, 8 months ago

    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!

  23. sunzip14
    8 years, 8 months ago

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

  24. danishdynamite
    8 years, 8 months ago

    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
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Robertson

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

      Robertson looks better player than Moreno

    3. danishdynamite

    21 points in total from the top 10 transferred in players this GW.

      Yep, sometimes the grass isn't always greener.

  26. barracuda

    Ha ha glad I didn't get rid of DDG for Picford a few weeks back.. 7 shots on goal- 5 Gs..jeez

  27. MTPockets
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Has Siggy just been poor so far? Don't get why he'd be benched among that team.

      Big Sam theathre of tragedy today

      1. MTPockets

        Wonder how much he regrets the move.

    2. Zenith UK

      Big Sam playing defensively mate

      1. MTPockets

        Apparently

  28. banskt

    Couldn't watch the match. How was Mkhitaryan?

    1. ptr88

      Electric! Really good value for him and can see him getting points 🙂

      1. banskt

        Thanks. 🙂

  29. Desperately Seeking Dusan
    8 years, 8 months ago

    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!

  30. FPL FREAK
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Ddg. Elliot.
    Jones. Otamendi. Dunk. Bardsley. Brad Smith.
    Salah. Sterling. Mahrez. Lingard. Mcarthur.
    Aguero. Kane. Wilson.

    0.0 in bnk....

    Keep Mahrez or should do
    Mahrez > Mikhitaryan or someone else...??

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      8 years, 8 months ago

      At least wait a day or see if Mahrez is ready to play.
