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 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't get Martial now

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

      Walcott instead of Martial?

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

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Tis good question.

      2. Lallana_
        • 12 Years

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

        1. Eddie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

        2. Francescoli
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month 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
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

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

          1. Francescoli
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 1 month 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 years, 1 month ago

          Was ill.

      3. Pras (FPL)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month 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)
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

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

        2. Francescoli
          • 11 Years

          Great. Thanks Pras

        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)
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

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

        2. diesel001

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

          Simples..

          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month 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
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Smalling has played well and picked up points pretty consistently.

      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

        Kenny

    4. Lallana_

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

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

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

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

    5. LIARS POKER

      Mawson worth the 0.6 extra over Fernandez?

        Probably yes

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

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

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

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month 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

          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 😆

      2. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month 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…
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month 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_
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 1 month 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…
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

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

              1. arndff_
                • 14 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

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

                Have to bounce back... Cheers!

            Ramsey a good shout too.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 1 month 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
                • 14 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

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

                1. FP El Wonky
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 15 Years

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

      1. Les Bleus

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

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

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

        Think i will do Lingard to Walcott

        Looked impressive today without Siggy and Coleman despite blanking

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

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

          Wow that’s low. I’m on 42 so that’s decent

      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 🙁

          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.

      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)

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

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

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

      Out - Masaka / RLC /Aguero

      In - Simpson / Walcott / Vardy

        No CS in eight. I want to cry as a West Ham fan.
