Aubameyang continues to defy Christmas rotation threat

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.5m) continues to defy the Christmas rotation as he starts his tenth Premier League match in a row against Brighton.

The Arsenal forward even played the full 90 minutes as the Gunners lost to Tottenham in the recent EFL Cup quarter-final.

Unai Emery has decided to go with the big guns up top again as Alexandre Lacazette (£9.5m) also earns a start.

Meanwhile, Lucas Torreira (£5.2m) returns to central midfield after earning a rest against Burnley, while Laurent Koscielny (£5.4m) gets back into the side alongside Sokratis Papastathopoulos (£5.1m).

Mathew Ryan (£4.5m) plays in goal with his Asian Cup departure with Australia looming large, while Shane Duffy (£4.6m) returns from a three-game ban to replace the suspended Lewis Dunk (£4.5m).

Jurgen Locadia (£5.3m) gets another start on the wing at Anthony Knockaert‘s (£5.4m) expense, with Glenn Murray (£6.5m) coming back in, as expected.

Brighton XI: Ryan, Montoya, Duffy, Balogun, Bernardo, March, Stephens, Propper, Locadia, Gross, Murray.

Arsenal XI: Leno, Kolasinac, Sokratis, Koscielny, Lichsteiner, Guendouzi, Xhaka, Torreira, Ozil, Lacazette, Aubameyang.

    How come Kane scored only 1 goal in 5-0 trashing ?
    Never liked him, mouth breathing muppet.

    Sterling and Snodgrass to Son And Pogba still viable or too late to party?

    1. Alnair

      Late on Son, early on Pogba

    btw guys, evryone before was like wow the Pogba second goal amazing! It really wasnt, Pogba like put in so little effort and the keeper should have got it. Im not saying it was a bad shot, but more keeper error. Even Pogba stood there for like 3 seconds after like "really, that went in?"

      1. Maddamotha

        Thanks mate i will! But to who? Son and Pogba?

    Hey guys, remember how y'all laughed when I asked about Sane to Son for -8? Yeah, I laughed at myself for thinking that too. This is why FPL is the game it is.

    With Auba pllaying one minute, I reach my weekly target of 60 points.
    Buzzing!

    Button back on the bench! (Probably an hour late to this...)

  11. WVA

    I can't believe I've picked the wrong captain for the last 7 gameweeks!!!!

    Sterling -> Pogba (would leave me with no City cover and two united miss, for Martial from before) and have two United midfielders for the two next games? Then one og them to Salah after Liverpool-City?

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

      *and two united mids, got Martial from before

    Laporte to Digne last night was probably the best transfer I ever made

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years

      1. BigBillyBass

  14. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years

    What would you do here? 1FT, 0.1itb

    Fabianski
    Digne • Kolasinac • Doherty
    Sterling • Son • Rich • FAnderson • Martial*
    Kane • Aubameyang
    (Button / Kamara / AWB / Schindler)

    1. BigBillyBass
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Lose Sterling

    2. BigBillyBass
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

  17. Alnair

    Son is surely unbenchable in this kind of form, right? Spurs could legit be in the title race if this continues...
