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. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    1. -SB-
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Auba hits good free kicks

    No idea why he didn't take that, better angle for him too

    1. Puntillimon
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      nice guy auba

  17. -SB-
    • 9 Years

    Anyone considering Hazard for GW 34v

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Got him for Salah this week.

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

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

  18. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months 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
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Nice rank.

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Yep

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months 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
        7 years, 8 months ago

        True just one of them things

  19. CloudSky

    Has anyone ever seen Jaf and Chucky in the same room?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Yep. They were looking lively...

    2. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

  20. Stoic
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    1. grumpyman
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

    2. Homo Neanderthalensis
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Alonso brace aswell would be lovely hahaha

    3. Stoic
      • 9 Years

      *relevant 😛

    4. BIGREDDOG
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

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

  21. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

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

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Mark Hughes to relegate 2 teams in a single season

  22. InSaneMan-e
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

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

    1. aCunha Mateta
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Just did that transfer. Go ahead and do it.

    2. Homo Neanderthalensis
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

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

      1. InSaneMan-e
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

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

        1. Homo Neanderthalensis
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          *then looks at Aubs form AND fixtures lol

      2. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Not with Lukaku DGW. Aub out makes more sense

        1. Homo Neanderthalensis
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 8 months 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
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 8 months ago

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

          2. Homo Neanderthalensis
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 8 months 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.

  23. aCunha Mateta
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

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

  24. Mr. Jenkins
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

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

  25. LIARS POKER
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months 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

  26. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Dunk & Alli or Maguire & Son for DGW?

  27. Rik Waller
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Dat guy 😎

  28. Twisted Saltergater
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Welbeck is looking good

  29. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Welbeck should retire from football

    1. Homo Neanderthalensis
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      He just scored hahahaha

    2. Jafooli
