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.

    Honestly people bemoaning a lack of West Ham clean sheets. They're West Ham. Yeah the fixtures are good but you only got Hammers defenders because they're cheap.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Exactly. I got Fab for the save points. And he repaid me midweek

    Oh to be Young and Rash

  22. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    No Rash assist

    1. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Take it back but not sure why. Ball was intercepted by a defender..

    2. Make Arrows Green Again
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      No, carefully thought through

  23. Fred54

    'That's a name I've not heard in a long time.'

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Ashley ? or Young ?

  24. Chenku╰☆╮
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Yes young. Who need robbo

  25. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Surely no Rash assist? Young lost possession for a moment.

  26. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Young's been very good so far. Intelligent passing and movement. Experience I guess.

  27. Sgt Frank Drebin
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    How is Aubameyang looking?

    1. Silecro
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      should have first contact with the ball any moment now

    2. SPorting
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Lost

    3. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      With his eyes

    4. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Is he on the pitch?

    5. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He is just conserving energy for the 2nd half. Then he's gonna run riot against tired opponents.

  28. Pierce34
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    I need Gunnarsson to save my gameweek 😀

  29. Woy_is_back
