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.

Arsenal XI: Leno; Kolasinac, Sokratis, Mustafi, Lichtsteiner, Bellerin; Guendouzi, Torreira, Xhaka; Aubameyang, Lacazette

Brighton XI: Ryan; Bruno, Balogun, Dunk, Bernardo; Knockaert, Pröpper, Bissouma, March; Groß; Andone.

Cardiff XI: Etheridge; Ecuele Manga, Morrison, Bamba, Bennett; Mendez-Laing, Gunnarsson, Arter, Murphy; Camarasa; Paterson.

Southampton XI: McCarthy; Valery, Bednarek, Vestergaard, Targett; Højbjerg, Oriol Romeu; Redmond, Lemina, Armstrong; Austin.

Man United XI: De Gea; Dalot, Jones, Smalling, Young; Matic, Herrera; Rashford, Mata, Lingard; Lukaku.

Fulham XI: Rico; Odoi, Ream, Mawson, Bryan; Seri, Zambo Anguissa; Schürrle, Cairney, Sessegnon; Mitrovic.

West Ham XI: Fabianski; Zabaleta, Balbuena, Diop, Masuaku; Noble, Rice; Snodgrass, Felipe Anderson; Chicharito, Pérez.

    When people ask 'My mini-league leader is ahead by 100 points, can I still catch him?', just say look at gameweek 16 when there was such a gulf of points between sets of players. I'm currently on 10 points, a league rival is on 69.

  5. Ha.

      • 8 Years

      fixtures look good but tinkerman is changing a lot of things.Not consistentm team selection

  8. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years

    poor from aubs this week.Has southampton and burnley next 2 to make amends

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Considering firing him out for Kane now.

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Keeping Auba, definitely, ditching Lacafraud asap

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah I'm not selling ahead of those two

  9. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    My wee brother 71 points from 6.

    Salah (c) of course.

    Me so far? 35 from 4. Could be worse I suppose, hoping Kane and Hazza delivers big even though not captained

  10. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    At least Haz, Alonso, Sané & Sterling turn up

  11. Krafty Werks
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Gutted i sold Salah but 34 from 3 post baps ok for now...Sane, Alonso, Kane, Son & Maddison time...tbc.

  12. Garlana
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    29 from 3 would be great normally....guess us non Salah owners just need to compare ourselves with each other for just this gw.

  13. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone know if Wilson likely to be out for more than a gw, quite fancy a punt on Hernandez for the next 4 gws

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      ?

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Should be back next week

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Ah, that switch is a no go then, cheers.

  14. tisza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Being an indecisive wuss paid off.
    Couldn't decide what to do with so many options for replacing Arnie and moving funds around so just decided to bench him and see how teams went this week. Sensible upgrades would have involved selling Salah and taking at least -4pts.

  15. Delph & Safety
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Kane’s ownership too high for a non captained but owner to want a load of points?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No.

    2. mgilbert86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      You want points from all your players

  16. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Fanderson coming to the rescue

  17. Whats the Huth
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Why was Mitrovic subbed?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Game over, save him being booked.

    2. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      to avoid him headbutting someone

    3. elchilangles
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      because he's rubbish

  18. Ask Yourself
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Well Kane should keep quiet later and a sane special and today has been quite successful considering double arsenal and not captaining salah. So relieved I kept him almost hit him out for sterling

  19. chrisdale98
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I just realised I accidentally captained Jimenez... Oops

    1. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Lol

    2. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      always the gravless

  20. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Come on Sterling, Alonso and Ederson !! Save my gameweek.

  21. Nice to Finally Michu
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    any chance kane is rested?

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Some chance. Most likely hauled off early if winnit

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        sigh, those salah VC points are so close yet so far, hope Harry goes nuts or stays home

    2. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      not after Arsenal and Pool won, need to keep in touch with the top 2.

  22. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Need 8+ from Kane to make my moves of Salah Arnie to Anderson Kane (free) worth it, or at least break even on scores.

    Lets hope!

  23. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Auba back above the points/0.1m rises threshold today.

    1. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Lol

  24. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    How are Finnish people generally so good at FPL?

    1. elchilangles
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      coz they're great Finishers

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I'll get your coat...

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No emotion

      1. Zladan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Perhaps. We’re all too biased in the UK.

        When I see someone have a great week... it’s either an Indian/Egyptian making a 1 week team and bench boosting, or an absolute baller of a Finnish person in the top 500

    3. LSK
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Don’t know, do they get all the matches on live TV? Would help massively imo.

  25. Nabs Kebabs
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    @Rainer, Can I expect any baps for Paterson?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      https://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/matches/987745/

      'BPS Plus' -> 'BPS.

      Should get 1.

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 14 Years

        Cheers 🙂

  26. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

    7 years, 3 months ago

    Bellerin BAP?

  27. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    How many baps for fandetson?

    1. J T
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Who’s that?

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      3

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      3 at the moment, not finalised

    4. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      3 but little pea might get ahead on winning goal baps.

  28. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Morata not even in the squad lol

    1. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Sigh of relief for Hazard owners.

  29. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Kane 4 goals from 2016 repeat performance please

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      If he does that I'm quitting the game, a juicy 1 pointer would be perfect.

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      16? Was last year.

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Sorry 2016/17 I meant

  30. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    44 from 7 and im suprised to have gone up 200 in ranks... (in top 1.5k and not bragging). Feel like i could quite easily drop to below 3k after City and Spurs game tonight... only have Kane

    1. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Kante and Fernandinho 1-1 would be very nice for you.

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yup it would

        1. Zladan
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          There’s one of them...
