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.

    These moves crappy chaps?

    Adrian + Ota + Lingard > DDG + Taylor(4.2m) + Martial

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

      I wouldn't get Martial now

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

      Don’t like these moves to be honest. Could you get Wally over Martial and get Mawson in defence?

    3. Effe
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Walcott instead of Martial?

        8 years, 8 months ago

        That was this morning (Australian time) after the games had played

    D) Other? (Up to 7.4)
    Would like to hear your opinions. Thanks.

    1. MTPockets
      8 years, 8 months ago

      A (although honestly not confident about Allardyce's team management)

  6. Francescoli
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Will Smalling and Shaw hold their spots in the Man Utd defense?

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

      Tis good question.

    2. Lallana_
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Was Jones dropped today or injured? Thought he's better than Smalling

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

        Ill I heard on here earlier.

      2. Francescoli
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I’m not sure. Plenty of Utd fans on here, so hope someone can shed some light on how they line up going forward?

      3. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 8 months ago

        But Rojo played in his place, seems Smalling is first choice partner.

        1. Francescoli
          8 years, 8 months ago

          I rage traded Smalling into my team this morning (for Stones), so I’m hoping Jones and Smalling are the first choice centre backs

      4. Zilla
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Was ill.

    3. Pras (FPL)
      8 years, 8 months ago

      First choice is Jones / Smalling. But now that Rojo is back, Jones gets rested if 2 games in 4 days (like now).

      1. Pras (FPL)
        8 years, 8 months ago

        You can see in my comment history I have been recommending Smalling for last 3 weeks

      2. Francescoli
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Great. Thanks Pras

    4. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I think Shaw will work a lot better with Sanchez than Young can because he is a full back by trade and Young is a winger by trade and that just dont work when playing with Alexis it just leaves the wing too exposed at times.

      He done well while covering for Young during his suspension so i do fancy him to regain a place in the first team.
      I would not be so sure about Smalling i think Jones and Rojo should be first choice.

      1. Pras (FPL)
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Young is still first choice at the mo. But again he is 32, so cant play twice in 4 days

      2. diesel001
        8 years, 8 months ago

        De Gea
        Valencia Smalling Jones Shaw
        Matic Herrera
        Sanchez Pogba Martial
        Lukaku

        Simples..

      3. Pras (FPL)
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Jones and Rojo will never play together. Mou always prefers height so either Smalling or Bailley (when back) will partner Jones or Rojo

    5. Zenith UK
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Smalling has played well and picked up points pretty consistently.

  7. KingoftheRunts
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Bottomed so apologies for filthy re-post.

    Who to prioritise getting rid of? 1ft

    Kenny
    Fraser
    Diouf

    Don't really want to take a 4 point hit in these price brackets.

    1. diesel001
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Kenny

  8. Lallana_
    8 years, 8 months ago

    14 pts with Salah(C), Firmino, Kane, Alonso, Son

    Need a cracking game tomorrow. 3-2 Liverpool please 🙂

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

      As long as Kane stays quiet, I'll be happy with that. And an Alonso brace and cleanie.

  9. LIARS POKER
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Mawson worth the 0.6 extra over Fernandez?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Probably yes

        Is it too early to discount him for next week?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Big game so yes.

  12. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané

    Who’d have though 28 from 7 and your captain would give you a green arrow 😆

    1. diesel001
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Salah, Firmino, Kane, Son, Hazard and Alonso still to play. Be afraid....

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I am aware, and I own 4 of those, but I think you are missing the point of my post.

        Regardless of who’s left, 28 points from 7 and a captain should always be a red arrow,

        Dodgy week! How did you get on?

        1. diesel001
          8 years, 8 months ago

          27 from 7 with Salah(c)

    2. UshFPL

      GW not over yet

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané

        I’m aware 😉

    3. Les Bleus
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldn’t be so happy just yet 😉

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I’m not happy, you are missing the point haha!

        I am laughing at how ridiculous this weeks been for most. For me to get a green off 28 points from 7 and a captain is just silly 😆

        1. Les Bleus
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Agreed 😉 good luck in any case 🙂

    So much dross in the PL. Bournemouth down are poor teams.

  15. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

    10 from 3, seems pretty good for this week lol...

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      8 years, 8 months ago

      Nicely setup.

    2. arndff_
      8 years, 8 months ago

      You weren't a fan of owning Hazard a few weeks ago.

      Just seen that you've even captained him!

      What happened? 🙂

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I was going to save transfer but had Mahrez & Arnie, so when Mahrez went AWOL I was left with a big gap in my team. Hazard at home to BOU seemed like too good an opportunity to turn down, I'm just glad I didn't (C) him. Tbf I think he was unlucky not to get something out of the game, it wasn't like he did his usual disappearing act.

        This week there is no standout captain option, so it's a week where a less popular captain choice has a good risk/reward ratio. Kane/Salah is one of those annoying 50/50 situations where it's too difficult to predict, I don't own Aguero but didn't think MCI would score many, and I was never going near Sterling. Also with Giroud potentially starting I fancy Hazard to be involved against a pretty shocking Watford side.

        1. arndff_
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Hazard vs. BOU at home looked very good on paper and I decided to captain him -- it didn't go well. In fact, there should have been a penalty for Chelsea after Ake touched the ball TWICE with his hand.

          This week, I was torn between Salah and Hazard, but went with the Egyptian because thought he'll be again one of the most prefered captain picks @top 10k and owning Hazard is a differential enough imo.

          If Hazard explodes on Monday, you'll be into top 1K I guess.

          Fingers crossed!

          1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah as you can see Salah is my vice. Gl man, may our arrows be green 🙂

            1. arndff_
              8 years, 8 months ago

              Hope so. Last GW went from 4.5K to 6K. 🙁

              Have to bounce back... Cheers!

    Anyone else still in the FPL cup?

  17. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Out - Masaka / RLC /Aguero

    In - Simpson / Walcott / Vardy

    Worth doing for -4?

    1. Sandy Ravage
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldn't lose Aguero before the LEI game

  18. FP El Wonky
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Taking into account next gameweeks:
    Best replacement for Mahrez?
    Up to 8.9
    Thx

    1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Wally?

      1. FP El Wonky
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Sorry, already have sterling, salah, walcott and allen

    2. Les Bleus
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Wally or Mkhi

      1. FP El Wonky
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Mhiki is looking good.
        I've always been a Ramsey fan too.

        1. Les Bleus
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Ramsey a good shout too.

          1. FP El Wonky
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Kneejerky at best.
            But if he's nailed back his spot and on form he should do well even in the more difficult games coming up.

            1. Les Bleus
              8 years, 8 months ago

              He’s always been a decent FPL pick even this season. So I reckon it’s not kneejerky

              1. FP El Wonky
                8 years, 8 months ago

                Yep. He's back with a bang that's for sure.

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

    Hoping for a Willian masterclass on Monday.

    1. Les Bleus
      8 years, 8 months ago

      He’s gotta start first to haul. Not even sure he will.

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

        See Bembas post above. Barkley injured

        1. Les Bleus
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Wasn’t Willian injured recently? Don’t think he wasn’t playing because he was dropped.

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

            Nope. Was brought off early and rested. Look at Team News article. He is starting.

            1. Les Bleus
              8 years, 8 months ago

              Ah ok fair enough.

    2. Don Kloppeone

      Prob won’t start

        Stevie is impressing me more and more each time, feel like he's settling into the role more. Liking the points he makes.

  21. estheblessed

    Wow scout picks were awful this week!

    I need to swap Mahrez for some one of equal value to £8.7m

    Any ideas?

      Think i will do Lingard to Walcott

      Looked impressive today without Siggy and Coleman despite blanking

    6. Les Bleus
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Trying to find a way to do CM to Wally. Or just son to Wally.

    7. mookie

      Probably Mahrez to Willian, but need more news on Willian.

    8. dunas_dog

  24. Don Kloppeone
    8 years, 8 months ago

    I’m guessing my red arrow stays red regardless of tomorrow’s results as I have Kane, Salah (C), Firmino, Alonso, Hazard and Tomkins to play - prob 75% of FPL has those players!

    16 from 5 so far 🙁

    1. TorresMagic™

        8 years, 8 months ago

        Hope you’re right TM! Just it’s been my luck last couple of weeks after a great run of green arrows, now I’m stuck in red arrow-land.
        Dropped from 43k OR 2 weeks ago and currently at 99k per FFFix

  25. LosBlancos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 8 months ago

    I think GW28 might be good for a WC, I'm thinking about loading up on 3 Arsenal 2-3 Liverpool and 2 Spurs with 1 Bmouth and 1 Everton - that would give you a good team for both BGW31 and BGW35 with potential DGW players as well - balanced.
    Also I want that Burnley def (probably a triple up)

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

      Arsenal play Man City if it isn't a blank.

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

        Not a problem if you load up on Ars attack and it's a high scoring game

  26. Ronnies
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Lingard > Shaqiri ? (will wait until after FA cup games)

    Tnks.

    1. UshFPL

      Yes

  27. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Out - Masaka / RLC /Aguero

    Is Robertson nailed in Liverpool first team now over Moreno ?
