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.

    Was going to go for Deeney as my Vardy replacement.

    Is Vardy > Bobby a good alternative move this week?

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

      Probs most popular. Not end of world keeping Vardy either thh

      1. chaser123
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Better to get rid of Duffy?

    2. _Make
      • 9 Years

      Keep Vardy. Keep Vardy. KEEP Vardy. He has two excellent fixtures!

      1. chaser123
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Which fixtures are those?

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

      Keep Vardy!

      1. chaser123
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Hmm ok - would you prefer Duffy out?

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

      I’d consider rolling your FT and reassessing after gw35. 2 FTs is better than one and if Vardy scores, Arsenal at home won’t look so bad.

  2. THFC4LIFE

    That’s Deeney blacklisted forever, will never own him again the useless ****

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He did me proud in the BGW

  3. Magumbo
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Brought in Young for the first time on FH, gets his first red of the season

    Brought in Deeney for the first time on wildcard, gets his first red of the season

    These guys certainly pick their moments

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

      Same.

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

      Tbf to young, Lindelof and smalling were equally dire. Ironic Shaw ended up the best pick when he was the suspension pick.

  4. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Deeney with 40k transfers in....Shane longsy anyone!?

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

      That's it, can get TAA in for Duffy aswell

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

        Good moves, long can then be cheap 3rd sub for rest of season. Alternatively Bednarek/Wilson an option ?

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

    Could be argued that it wouldn’t have looked as bad if Torreira wasn’t so damn short 😆 a regular sized bloke and it would have been against his chest!

    Regardless it’s a harsh red card. Wasn’t even a straight up elbow to the face

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

      Love how you rationalised the harmful intent by saying the bloke on the receiving end was “a bit too short”.

      1. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        😆
        Worth a try, panel may be a bunch of thickies.

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

      Shuldn't hav 'ad teef to begin wiv.

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

      Glad to see a straight red for this, was appalled at Ramos on Karius last season, refs need to take zero tolerance

  6. JuulKrapuul
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    f*k DGW (captain Duffy, choose someone like Deeney on WC)

    Deeney --> Wilson & Sterling (C) it is.

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

    Why didn’t i get hit by a bus predeadline.

    Old team on 70 plus Auba (with Pogba on bench).

    Actual team 55(-4).

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Should of led down in Leicester goalnet

    2. Peter Ouch
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Cause mou is not a manger anymore

  8. drughi
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    deeney>Ings ? Good fixtures til the end and Southampton playing for survival

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

      Would rather Shane Long

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

      It's a trap. He'll get injured as soon as you get him.

  9. jam
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Is that a 3 match ban or will Deen just miss the one?

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

      3

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

      Violent conduct is 3.

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

        Ugh.
        Gotta love a hit the week after a WC.

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

          Only a -2 I think.

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

      3

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

      I'm being a bit dense. All premier league games? When's FA cup?

  10. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Valery, Camarasa, Deeney for BB next GW here with 1FT (planned Camarasa>Sou mid)
    Maybe forget BB and play TC??

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

      Will have to do same I think. Makes more sense.

    2. Kevin 11
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      1 transfer and you can have 6-7 games of pionts from bench (presuming you have gk) surly better than any other week

  11. thunder_mike
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Makes Deulofeu/Gray more tempting vs Huddersfield

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

      Not going near Deulofeu

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

    Sold pogba fraser Wilson Anderson on WC.
    Half my team benched this week. Been happening all season.
    Haven't had 100 points since 2017.
    Not enjoying this game anymore
    🙁

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

      Chin up 🙂

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

        Tits up, more like.

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

      Lots of folk in same boat! One of those weeks

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

    Gray to Doucouré close

  14. MTPockets
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Can Arsenal keep an away cs against 10 men...

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

      Bet they do the week Kola doesn't start.

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

    Can you deactivate your bench boost? 😆

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

      You can

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

        Thank f*%# for that

    2. drughi
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      yes

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

        Phew

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

      Why bother DGW?

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

    At least I benched Deeney and played Doucoure this week.

  17. The Senate
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    no red for Leno there?

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

    Leno dirty **** shoves Gray over in the box

  19. Shatner's Bassoon
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I hate this game.

    Ah well at least I get Doherty in for Trippier tomorrow night

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

      Same. Lucky huh?

    2. -GK22-
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I feel those gainz

  20. Firminooooo
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Worst WC ever!

  21. Richd
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Alternative bench boost times

    The only semi good game for Brighton is 36 at home to Newcastle.

    However wolves and watford face off against each other that week

    However saints at home to Bournemouth

    That could be a ok option for the WC budgets we got in.

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

      Also let’s get proactive and less moaning.

      Only way to get through this

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

        Prob still gonna BB next game week. Might take a -4 though

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

        If I rolled a transfer this would be my 35 team which leaves 2 transfers with 36 BB in mind.

        Foster
        TAA, Robbo, Doherty, Vert
        Sterling, Eriksen, Son, Jota
        Kun, Jim
        (Ryan, Camarasa, Duffy, Deeney)

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

      I'd been looking at GW36 for BB due to Brighton assets, this is swaying me even further in that direction.

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

        Let’s us save a FT too.

        Might be the way to go

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

      I’m personally Bench boosting in GW37
      WC is being used after the doubles is over.

      The fixtures in 36 to 38 looks very juicy. And much better than the doubles. Plus we will know better who is nailed and who still are rotation risk - as the champion league/Europa results will reveal who teams to go for

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

      Watford vs wolves will probably be good for attacking assets I could see that being a 3-3 thriller. Wolves will be up for it after the fa cup. Gw36 looks good if you fancy TC gw35

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

    Do I need to sell Kolasinac or will he get some minutes in the DGW?

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Surprised with his benching tonight.
      I’d wait to see what happens in the Europa first

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

    No idea what to do now, only thing I'm certain about is that I'm not watching the rest of this game.

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

      Do you have TC?

      I don’t. But would be a great option this week now.

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

        Nah, used it on Sterling when you TC'd Kun, had both. I'm thinking Deeney to Ings and Dunk to someone then keep the other Brighton Chuckle Brother and still use BB.

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

    This ref has been abysmal

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

      Shocking

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

    feerrrrk this game.... not playing this game anymore...

    1. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Me too. What a waste of time.

      There must be more to life than this.

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

      Bye bye.

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

      Cya tomorrow for the CS watch, Chucky 😛

    4. Rash
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Deeney or laca owner?

  26. mitro
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Also got Mariappa on WC ffs

  27. -GK22-
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Not many deeney replacements for £6.9m. Had already replaced Vardy for Lacazette aswell

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

      Grey?

    2. Whats the Huth
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Rondon.

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Or get Vardy back.
        Should never have sold Vardy!

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

      Wilson
      Only one fixture but it’s Fulham at home

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

    Better this week than next I guess. I've even had C on him for most of this week.

  29. Game&Watch
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Wilson or Gray in for Deeney?

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Wilson

      1. Game&Watch
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Guess I agree on that.. The one I don’t pick will probably deliver 20 points anyway so might as well flip a coin

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

      Wilson
      Good fixtures for run in

  30. Firminooooo
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Completely destroyer my team,rank,life.......
