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.

    GW27: Lingard > Walcott (0.0 ITB)

    GW28: Otamendi out
    GW29: Dunk out
    GW30: Ogbonna out

    Is it a good plan? I really want to improve my defence. The other 2 are: Maguire, Long.

    Ota could be a rotation risk soon, so selling him could help me to improve my whole defensive line.

    Thanks!

      Yes mate would defo do Lingard to Walcott

    Surely people should hold a transfer (unless injury) this week so they have 2 during the break. There will be CL games + FA Cup. From the latter we will also know who blanks / plays GW 31.

      Ideal world.

      1. Pras (FPL)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Of course. But people getting Lingard out for example makes no sense. He is not injured and likely plays NEW next.

        1. UpAndAway
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          4 games with a return for Lingard, plus he doesn't last more than 70 minutes.

    2. diesel001

      GW31 overrated. If I am making a transfer now, I look at how many points they will score over the next 5 GWs (or however many GWs I am looking ahead) not whether they are playing in the blank

      1. Pras (FPL)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        If you know that Arsenal is out for example, would it not help deciding between Walcott and Ramsey?

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Possibly. But at the moment I like the look of Liverpool, Spurs (from GW28), Arsenal (from GW29) and WBA (from GW28). I will focus on those teams rather than worry about players from Bournemouth, Watford, Everton etc.

        2. Duffy Dunk
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Ramsey (tot MCI) and chance of a blank
          vs
          Walcott (CRY wat) and no blank.

          Walcott seems like the straightforward option, even if Ramsey smashed it today.

            Form over fixtures?

            1. diesel001
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              They are interlinked. Arsenal at home against non-top 6 teams always smash it. They are crap against top 6 teams though. So there is an inherent gamble involved with Arsenal when they have the fixtures they do.

          2. diesel001
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            This

          3. Zenith UK
            • 9 Years

            Spurs v Arsenal will be open. City struggling for CS.

        3. UpAndAway
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Walcott's fixtures next two GW's are far better anyway.

    3. Numb
      • 11 Years

      Most have got FH chip for 31

      1. Pras (FPL)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Most are keeping FH for gw35

  4. LIARS POKER
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Who would you rather have out of

    A) Mawson (5.0)
    B) Naughton (4.5)
    C) Fernandez (4.6)

    1. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Fernandez is 4.4

      All of them are nailed on, so you could go with Fernandez and use the funds to improve elsewhere.

      1. LIARS POKER
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        My bad, yeah thinking him but not sure if the others are worth the extra. Mawson has a good goal threat doesn't he?

      Thanks guys! Reason for asking is I wanted to get Ibe ad 5th mid,but might go Wally instead as already got Wilson

  12. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    What to do this week?
    A) Keep Aguero (LEI) and get rid of him next week
    B) Get Kane (ARS) who will come anyway next week for their easy fixtures

    Tempted to get Kane to own him when he plays Arsenal.

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      A. "If in doubt, do nothing" situation

      1. Duffy Dunk
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        In support of A, Tottenham play Juventus 3 days after playing Arsenal, so they may manage the league match in a different way, limiting Kane's potential.

  13. Rust Cohle
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Kane price drop before NLD. Stupid.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Perfect. A blank tomorrrow would be ideal. Get him down in price!

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years

      Who cares unless you're planning on selling him anyway

      1. Rust Cohle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        No plans. Just remarking on the silliness.

        21 from 7...not sure I'd call that good. Definite red arrow no matter what happens tomorrow you'd assume!

        Probably not

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Ramsey’s 20 on the bench hurts mate. No doubt will be part of the rough on the scoutcast

    13. banskt
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Ward-Prowse, Gross and Shaqiri created the maximum number of chances in the last 2 gameweeks, and Walcott had the second highest goal attempts (after de Bruyne).

      Who should be priority target? (Selling Lingard)

      1. Arlo
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Prefer Evertons fixtures for the next 5, so I'd go Walcott. I'm .1 short to do the same move though 🙁 ,so will probably stick with Lingard for 1 more.

      Hazard & Milivojevic to Mhki & Walcott? Chelsea have West Brom next but these two are exciting.

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years

        Could work yes, although I don't fancy Mhki against Spurs and City next
