A number of Fantasy Premier League options have missed out on places in the starting line-ups of Watford vs Arsenal.

Alexandre Lacazette (£9.4m) has been named on the bench with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m) leading the line on his own.

Alex Iwobi (£5.4m), Aaron Ramsey (£7.1m) and Henrikh Mkhitaryan (£6.7m) are the attacking midfielders behind him.

Also among the substitutes for Arsenal is Sead Kolasinac (£5.0m), with Nacho Monreal (£5.4m) handed the left-back berth.

Making his first start of the season at centre-back is Konstantinos Mavropanos (£4.7m).

Whether he will be able to help the Gunners to a first Premier League clean sheet on the road in 2018/19 remains to be seen.

Troy Deeney (£5.9m) might fancy his chances against the inexperienced defender, as he makes his 12th start in Watford’s last 13 league matches.

However, he is not joined by Gerard Deulofeu (£5.6m) in the side, the Spanish midfielder entirely as he deals with an ankle problem picked up in the FA Cup final.

Andre Gray (£5.9m) comes in first start since Gameweek 30.

Watford XI: Foster; Janmaat, Kabasele, Cathcart, Masina; Kiko Femenía, Capoue, Doucouré; Hughes; Deeney, Gray.

Arsenal XI: Leno; Mustafi, Koscielny, Mavropanos, Monreal; Torreira, Xhaka; Mkhitaryan, Ramsey, Iwobi; Aubameyang.

    Just for forget the doubles and bring Wilson in for Deeney?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Leaning towards him because of Fulham.

        Who just beat Everton with a cs

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          If anything this GW has learned us is to look ahead and not on the previous GW.

            You seem to be looking at the previous gameweek 🙂

            1. Royal5
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              +1

      Andre Gray. Has scored some important goals for Watford recently.

    No players tonight and gone up 169 places, who said this was a bad GW eh 😎

  3. tibollom
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    deeney + laporte to rash and cathcart for -8?

    Ryan Foster
    Robbo Laporte DOherty Duffy Bednarek
    Sterling ERiksen Redmond Doucoure Mane
    Jim Deeney Kun

    Time to start the annual FFS triple captain bandwagon. Who should it be this year? Preferably in the mould of Andy Carroll.

    Suggestions: Long, Ings, Gray, Andone, Llorente

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Negredo

    2. MTPockets
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Gray will gather momentum

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Aguero or Sterling IMO. Good player in a good team with at least one home game.

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

        Yeah totally in the mould of Andy Carroll

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Stupidity of people choosing crap players should be challenged IMO.

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

      Success

    5. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Duffy?

      1. Nomar
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        The words ‘Glutton’ and ‘punishment’ spring readily to mind.

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

      SLong hype this week with a hit of TC would be comical.

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

        He'll still do better than my Sane TC 😀

  5. the snazzy viking
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Ings essential

    1. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Long*

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        *Longsy

    2. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      You are using essential in the wrong context

  6. @NF_Janner
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Check the half time scores. Ofcourse Deeney has been sent off!!!

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Time to give him the elbow

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

    Think with 0 m in bank going to take hit and go Deeney to Wilson and Jota to Redmond. Good moves? Just cannot see anyone 5.9 m or under I want for Deeney

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

      Gray. Wouldn’t take a hit on Jota over this

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      What about Gray?

    3. Slippy
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      What's wrong with jota?

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Nothing but need to get .7 m from somewhere- suspect Gray more sensible option for Deeney

  8. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Real Madrid losing again

  9. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Deactivates BB......

  10. Miniboss
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Do you guys think Deeney’s red card will be overturned?

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

      No, Deeney threw his arm up towards his head for no good reason.

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

        Massive cojones got in the way

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Nope. Why?!?

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Barely a free kick.

    4. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He clearly got the ball first.

    5. mdm
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Should be. Never red

    6. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yep. Should be.

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

        😮
        No ban then ??

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Tbh I think it will stand, but it was no where close to being a RC.

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

            Cool
            Cheers mate

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

      The point is, he'll still miss the Hudds match right ??
      That's the match we want him to play

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

        Yeah not getting my hopes up, might go Deeney&Duffy -> Wilson&Bednarek (-4)

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

          Wait till Friday mate

  11. Nomar
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    36 Pts on a DGW.

    Utter Dog Chocolate.

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Could be worse

      Could be dog shite

      1. Nomar
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        It is.

    2. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Mmm chocolate

    3. _Make
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      It's not a real DGW. 35 is disappointing but what were you expecting?

      1. Nomar
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Much more than that.

        Expected Kun, Eriksen (c), Jimi and Digne to get decent scores.

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Only a DGW for BHA & CAR. Not the big hitters!

  12. Reacher
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Deeney to Danny & pry he plays!!

    1. Reacher
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Pray even*

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He can’t manage 70 mins let alone two matches

      1. Reacher
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        True! Troy the tit has me searching the bargain basement bin!

    3. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Llorente mate. Will haul against shighton

      1. Reacher
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Great shout thanks

  13. Nomar
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Might try doing it in reverse this GW and get rid of all my DGW players for hits!

    Surely can’t be any worse than this GW!

  14. Monkey Hanger
    • 13 Years

    Winter is coming.

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

      Winter is here

      1. HurriKane
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        You know nothing

    2. Mysterion
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      The lone wolf dies but the Jimenez Jota Doherty survives

      1. YEAH PITCH!
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Like it

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      It’s raining D’s dunk Duffy deeney all shite

      1. Nomar
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Lol.

      2. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Doherty....

  15. OldBenKenobi
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Can’t wait to see the back of this FPL season.

  16. Pukki Party
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Is Gray on penalties?

  17. HurriKane
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Best Deeney replacement ? (max 6.4)

    A) Ings

    B) Gray

    C) Rondon/Perez

    D) Other ? Wood? Mitro?Murray?

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

      Of those I would prob just go Gray
      It’s the “safest” option

  18. DAZZ
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    1 game ban or 3 game?

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      3

    2. Drexl Spivey
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Three (potentially four).

  19. Teomi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Have 8 mil in the bank, had it for jwp to Salah after gw 35... now consider deeney to auba if he is not starting against Napoli in midweek.. no brainer right?

  20. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Could really do with lacazette being nailed.....

    Aubameyang red card to even it up please.

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Could do with Deeney being nailed too.

      To a large rock preferably.

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        He has two massive stones on him at all times. Takes a real man to miss penalties and get sent off pointlessly.

  21. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Views on JWP?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Didn't have the best game last match, but obviously has it in him.

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

      Good asset.
      Especially against set piece susceptible Watford in dgw

  22. George Sillett
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Andre Gray the next trap. Bring it on.
    He's hardly Mr prolific.

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

      But if he has a DGW it's compulsory to think he's going to get a minimum of 6+6.

    2. DAZZ
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Count me in

      1. Nomar
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Oh, Lord help us!

    3. HurriKane
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      huddersfeild though. even ederson would probably score if he's deployed uptop against hudders

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        What about morata ?

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

          Let’s not get silly, gents.

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

    What was in the air last week?
    I ripped up an awesome team to fill with up with DGW trash.
    This place is terrible for leading from the path of light into deepest dark hole 🙁

    Whoever mentioned Brighton as C let alone TC options needs to take a-close look in a mirror..........

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

      They have another game.

      But yeah, (C) / (TC).. Seriously

      1. Do I Not Like Orange
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        They've done crap no doubt, but other popular captaincy options this GW were Vardy (2), Kun (2) & Son (4). None beyond the realms of possibility that even these Brighton clots could match that against Cardiff.

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Cue Duffy scoring in a 1-0 win. 15 x 2

  24. Catsandhats
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Why are people suddenly against bench boost next GW?

    Especially after most have wildcarded 13/15 double players in...

    1. YEAH PITCH!
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Because I have 2 players sent off and 2 injured so far.

    2. MTPockets
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Deeney ban means no FT for bha def, valery

  25. Mo Mané Mo Problems
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Right. Decided I’ll bring King in for maximum Bournemouth fun.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Could miss a penalty.....

      1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Frilson will get the rebound.

  26. OldBenKenobi
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I can see it now!
    Everyone doing Deeney > Wilson but it’s King that hails next GW

    Written in the stars....

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

      Ha

    2. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Hauls* bloody autocorrect

  27. POLSKA GOLA
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I think today is the first time ever I actually gained rank by not having any players involved 🙂

    1. HNI
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Leno is playing and nicely owned by some c**ta and this looks a 1-0 win for Arsenal

      1. Nomar
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Owned by Costa?

      2. POLSKA GOLA
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Probably Deeney has TC him 🙂

  28. HNI
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    If I save my FT over BB gw 35, will i have 2 Fts over gw36?

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

  29. Niho992
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Deeney is an idiot. How player like him can be C?

    Arsenal is awful too, have one player more and they looked like they have 3 players less

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      So they look like they have 7 players?

  30. JIMMY TUGGINS
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I've reached the maniacal laughter stage again. Sweet, sweet acceptance.

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Me too.

      Gone past being vexed and just waiting to see what else can go wrong that I can laugh at.

      At least I never capped Duffy....
