Gameweek 32 gets back underway at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal host struggling Stoke City.

From a Fantasy perspective, much will be expected of the Gunners and in particular striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

He goes into today’s encounter as the second most signed player ahead of Saturday’s deadline, with over 362,000 managers snapping him up.

Aubameyang was likely acquired with this and the next fixture – a home clash with Southampton – in mind. With no Double Gameweek fixture to come, he could soon make way in many squads, though those without the Wildcard and/or the Free Hit chip, will likely be looking to hold with Arsenal in action in Gameweek 35.

The Gabon international was rightly seen as immune to Arsene Wenger’s rotation, with the striker ineligible to feature in Arsenal’s Europa League campaign and their tie with CSKA Moscow on Thursday.

That policy is in evidence again today, with Henrik Mkhitaryan the big name to make way. He drops to the bench as Aaron Ramsey is recalled to the midfield on his return to fitness. The Armenian was the second most popular target in the Gunners’ squad, earning 99,000 new owners ahead of Gameweek 32.

Elsewhere, Petr Cech also misses out with a calf injury as David Ospina takes his place in goal.

Stoke City recall Moritz Bauer and look to play him on the right of midfield in a 4-2-3-1. Both Kurt Zouma and Kostas Stafylidis are sidelined through injury as Eric Pieters and Bruno Martins-Indi come into a back four.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    I was thinking we could all posts congratulatory messages to Lukaku here with regards to his 100th Premier League goal yesterday.

    He's in or will be in almost all of our teams now and messages like this (if he visits the site at all) could provide a bit of a confidence boost.

      Well done on the century big man!

      Why the f would Lukaku be on this site?!

        Footballers get a lot of downtime. It's a long shot but it's worth doing if it gives us a little chance of an edge over non FFS'ers.

          I have a picture of Bill Murray as my avatar. Why would you think this kind of sarcasm would work on me?!

      Hmmm, not so sure.

      This could have a terrible effect on Sanchez and cause a sulk of mega proportions.
      Tread carefully.

        Good point. Didn't really consider that possible implication.

      Problem with this , if he was on this site all the ABU like myself would negate anything complimentary. So that may drain counter any positive effect 😉

        Indeed, it's actually very complicated.

        Better stick to the usual tripe instead.

      What an odd thing to post.

    Watching Arsenal may be good training for how England will probably play at the World Cup.

    Why did I forget that Arsenal are awful before opting to not only put Auba in but also put the C on him....

    Does Shaq believe he is Sanchez? Has developed whinging to a fine art.

      He just lost 5 bps for that shocking miss
