Aubameyang and Lacazette both start for Arsenal

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.4m) and Alexandre Lacazette (£9.6m) were both named on the Arsenal team sheet for Gameweek 16.

Unai Emery had rested the Frenchman in both of the Gunners’ previous two Premier League matches but he is back in the line-up for the first time since Gameweek 12.

Arsenal look to be lining up with a back-three and wing-backs with Stephan Lichtsteiner (£4.5m) coming in for the injured Rob Holding (£4.4m).

Glenn Murray (£6.7m) has been left among the substitutes for the fourth time in Brighton’s last six away matches. In his place is Florin Andone (£5.0m) making his second start in three. Leon Balogun (£4.2m) replaces the suspended Shane Duffy (£4.7m) at centre-back.

Romelu Lukaku (£10.7m) returns to the Manchester United starting line-up while Anthony Martial (£7.5m) was not considerd fit enough to face Fulham, and neither was Eric Bailly (£5.0m).

As expected, Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez (£6.3m) leads the West Ham line in the absence of Marko Arnautovic but Lucas Perez (£6.2m) also gets a start. It will be interesting to see if he operates out wide or as a second centre-forward.

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace named an unchanged side from the line-up that lost 3-1 at Brighton midweek.

  7. Chucky

    Who’s selling Auba and making .2 profit ? Chica good option or kamara?

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Before Saints and Burnley? I'd be trying to get him in.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Kamara has smashed Auba the last two weeks.

      0.9m price rise this GW.

    3. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Chica looks a good option but don't sell Aubameyang, Kamara is good fodder.

    Where's the 100 shots in the box Balbuena supposedly had? he's been dire since i brought him in GW11

  9. KJT123
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Nice little Torreira & Kolasinac double up makes the no Salah slightly better

  10. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    No Flappy save point 😮

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Upsetting

  11. Rash
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Hoping the late captaincy switch from auba to Kane is another masterstroke. Need a massive haul!

  12. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Auba (C) but still want a Kane haul to keep everyone guessing

    1. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      hope Kane's up for it and Leicester players on a hangover from last night

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years

  14. dvdguy
    • 8 Years

    Rashford triple rises incoming

    1. mgilbert86
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      He looks a good differential

    2. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      got to use your own mind on this site, read so many comments where people suggested Rashford and others said don't go near him.

    3. Dannyb
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      It's a trap, United will be back to their old ways next week.
