We’ve assembled another panel of three Fantasy managers this week and will be bringing you a different set for each Gameweek over the course of the season. They are here to answer any questions you might have relating to the international break.

You can find out what their answers are Monday.

    can't believe xhaka starts for a top 6 team.
    he is a terrible holding mid. he destroys attacks, but only of his own team. he constantly losses the ball, passes to the opponents, and cant defend if his life depended on it. he cost more than kante, but should play in beshiktash not the prem league.
    how he starts ahead of torriera is a mystery.

    wenger in.

        of course wenger in was a joke - but seriously - ramsey and toriera should start in the 2 of the 4-2-3-1. so obvious.

          I agree but there might be pressure to hold off on Ramsey because of the contract dispute. I think he can negotiate a free in December?

      Wenger bought Xhaka. And Auba after he’d already spunked a load on Lacazette. Put Ozil on a big contract, has never developed players like Bellerín. Walcott is the same player with the same flaws as when we bought him at 16. And nobody can say he didn’t spend. And on top of everything else, Wenger got the board to sell their shares to Kroenke thus ensuring the mediocrity of his US teams. Why? Because Kroenke is a good owner? No, because he knew he’d carry on getting 10 million quid a year with no pressure to win whereas Usmanov would have written off all the debt and given money for players but would have demanded success and would have fired Wenger for failure. Wenger never wanted that risk.

      I notice Wenger isn’t in a job yet despite telling everybody how much demand he was in.

    If Auba runs riot it will make things very interesting. I'm a non auba owner but think this will be his week to get a brace or hat trick.

    The question after this match will be: auba or aguero?

    Anyone in accord?

          So does Xhaka doesn't mean he's worth getting rid of a guy who was nailed and playing well.

          Mkhi did well in one game. Not nailed, benched for a lot of preseason.

          I though Mkhi was the second coming of Messi around here last week.

            Xhaka is a defensive midfielder. Mkhi had good stats and Lucas Moura was about as nailed, had much worse stats, was crap apart from scoring once and played united away.

              Just had a look at stats comparison. Fair enough. Hadn't realised how great Mkhi's stats were. As an Arsenal having seen preseason I just couldnt see him keep his place given competition for places once Laca was going to start

    All this Miki, Bilva, Sane, Willian nonsense is making the safe picks from lesser teams all the more attractive.

    Maddison, Pereyra, Fraser, Serri, Schurrle etc. might not be as fashionable or explosive, but are more likely to be nailed on.
