The first of two Sunday fixtures gets underway at 2.15pm as Arsenal welcome Southampton to the Emirates Stadium.

After Harry Kane and Romelu Lukaku failed to pick up the points at Stoke yesterday, all eyes turn to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The fourth top captain pick for the Gameweek with 7.9% backing, he was handed the armband by 56 of the top 100 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers.

As expected, however, Arsene Wenger has rotated heavily ahead of Thursday’s Europa League return to CSKA Moscow.

Snapped up by 70,000+ managers for Gameweek 33, Aaron Ramsey is rested for the third time in the last four league fixtures.

Laurent Koscielny also misses out altogether, while the likes of Mesut Ozil, Alexandre Lacazette and Nacho Monreal are named among the substitutes.

For the Saints, Charlie Austin drops to the bench as Mark Hughes hands Shane Long the lone striker role.

The visitors look to be lining up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, affording us a final chance to scout for options ahead of their Double Gameweek 34 against Chelsea and Leicester.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Auba hits good free kicks

    1. Puntillimon
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      nice guy auba

  16. -SB-

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Only if you are chasing hard. Too risky at his price

  17. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Auba owner but didn’t captain. Obviously I want the points but I bet lots did captain him. Shouldn’t really make much difference with my rank of 550k

    1. Homo Neanderthalensis
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Nice rank.

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Yep

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Doubly hurts as us Kane (C) teams would have captained Auba, had Kane not been the plan.

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        True just one of them things

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

    2. Homo Neanderthalensis
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Alonso brace aswell would be lovely hahaha

    3. Stoic

    4. BIGREDDOG
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Big 'both teams to score' multi would have been dope

  20. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Time Soton slipped away to the Championship with Stoke and WBA 🙂

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Mark Hughes to relegate 2 teams in a single season

  21. InSaneMan-e
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Guys
    Aubamenyang -->Kane still worth it yeah?
    Have lukaku already.

    1. No Name to Display
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Just did that transfer. Go ahead and do it.

    2. Homo Neanderthalensis
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Lukaku to Kane is better. I did this for Kane and Aub.

      1. InSaneMan-e
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        But looks at Lukakus fixtures
        And there's no doubt he bullys smaller teams

        1. Homo Neanderthalensis
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 26 days ago

          *then looks at Aubs form AND fixtures lol

      2. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Not with Lukaku DGW. Aub out makes more sense

        1. Homo Neanderthalensis
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 26 days ago

          Lukaku has just as many games over 2 gameweeks as Aubameyang. If you don’t have free hit (like me) then they have the same amount of games

          1. InSaneMan-e
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 26 days ago

            I do have FH. And I plan to use it for gw35

          2. Homo Neanderthalensis
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 26 days ago

            Combine that with the fact the only time Lukaku has scored more than 1 goal in a game was the first game of the season it’s a no brained for me.

  22. No Name to Display
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Is Mustafi to Christensen for -4 for DGW34 a good move?

  23. Mr. Jenkins
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Is it madness selling Auba for Kane? And do i ditch Son or Alli?

  24. LIARS POKER
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Got Alli and Son but want to get Kane in, which is the better move

    A) Son, Auba -> Lingard, Kane
    B) Mahrez, Auba -> Willian, Kane

    B would be triple Spurs attack and I own Vardy so would still have Leicester coverage

  25. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Dunk & Alli or Maguire & Son for DGW?

  26. Rik Waller
    • 8 Years

    Dat guy 😎

  27. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    Welbeck is looking good

  28. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Welbeck should retire from football

    1. Homo Neanderthalensis
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      He just scored hahahaha
