Lacazette joins Aubameyang in Arsenal attack for Burnley visit

Unai Emery has made three changes to Arsenal’s opening Premier League win against Newcastle with David Luiz (£6.0m) Dani Ceballos (£5.5m) and Alexandre Lacazette (£9.5m) starting for the Gunners against Burnley. 

The Spaniard has opted to drop Callum Chambers (£4.5m) to give Brazilian Luiz his Arsenal debut, whilst handing Ceballos his first start.

Lacazette also joins the Arsenal attack with Henrik Mhikitaryan (£7.0m) dropping to the bench. 

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m), selected by 29% of managers and who came second in our Gameweek 2 captaincy poll with 17.84% of the vote, has retained his started berth.

He found the net on opening weekend at Newcastle and will have the expectation of many a Fantasy manager on his shoulders this lunch-time.

Arsenal academy duo Joe Willock (£5.5m) and Reiss Nelson (£5.0m) will also start their second successive league games for the club after impressing at St. James’ Park.

Alongside Ceballos, Willock and Nelson could offer value for money if they can start racking up some Fantasy points – so there will be plenty of attention on them this afternoon.

Meanwhile, for Burnley, Sean Dyche has opted to name an unchanged starting XI following the Clarets’ impressive 3-0 victory over Southampton last weekend. 

Dyche’s backline of Matt Lowton (£4.5m) James Tarkowski (£5.0m) Ben Mee (£5.0m) and Erik Pieters (£4.5m) will be marshalled by keeper Nick Pope (£4.5m) as the Clarets bid to keep yet another clean-sheet.

Striker Ashley Barnes (£6.5m) scored a brace last weekend, and Dyche will be hoping his talismanic striker can have a similar impact against Emery’s Arsenal.

Arsenal XI: Leno; Monreal, Sokratis, D Luiz, Maitland-Niles; Willock, Guendouzi, Ceballos; Nelson, Lacazette, Aubameyang.

Burnley XI: Pope; Pieters, Mee, Tarkowski, Lowton; McNeil, Westwood, Cork, Gudmundsson; Barnes, Wood.

    Marco Silva is chicken shite.

    no real surprises in the 3pm lineups tbh, Rico played pretty badly last week (going forward at least) and Potter's comments were encouraging about Trossard

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      a few on here called the Gomez one too, played 120 mins at RB

      1. Andy_Social

        Matip price drops, then he starts

    This is going to be a disaster of a gameweek. A real 30-point'er. I can feel it already.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

      How?

    2. Bobby Digital

      Pepe owns Popey

    Time for Harry Wilson to shine.

    He’s like the Welsh Brooks, should do well at Bournemouth.

    1. Greasy Grealish Gang
      • 4 Years

      Does he start? I got him but replaced him for McGinn + 0.5m

    Probably been mentioned here... but you can't see your rival's transfers even after the deadline?

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      never been mentioned by anyone

    Thanks to those that post, but any chance team sheets can be posted with surname only. Too much reading.

    1. BEARZINHO
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Sure - feel free to do that

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        No chance

  13. Brosstan

    Auba cap still a massive fail. Salah and Sterling will score hat tricks

    1. The Mastermind
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Still time

    2. Salah’s Sonnet

      Toss hard

  16. Chenku╰☆╮

    Rico is most nailed they said..

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      who said that?

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        almost no Bournemouth fans would agree

        1. G-Whizz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          This...

        2. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Wasn't he bought to replace Daniels last season though?

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He's always been a bit-part player since joining Bournemouth. He never lived up to expectations.

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      They said that Daniels is a threat for his spot.

    4. ENZO SZN™
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Who are 'they'?

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Guardians of the chocolate teapot.

  17. The Ejiptian King
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Still no sign of Sidibe in the squad, not fit yet?

    1. LosBlancos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Coleman is nailed, this talk of Sidibe replacing him is funny

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, I have Coleman, Sidibe is still a decent player or at least he used to be.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      DCL starts, Kean not ready either.

  18. For Fuchs Sake
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Picked Perez over Trossard, sensible in theory, but we'll see.

  19. Budweiser
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Balbuena benched ffs another player I'm gonna lose value on

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      West Ham defense mate?

      1. Budweiser
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Apparently they rotated well with Burnley

      2. G-Whizz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Nice run of fixtures coming up why not?

  20. ENZO SZN™
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Bournemouth back to 4-4-2. Hope Fraser back to creating chances.

  21. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Big Trossard performance required today

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Sick of hearing his name haha!

    2. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Butt of the joke last week. Any returns from him will be extremely satisfying.

  22. Dacra
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Rico and Haller 🙁

  23. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    No Guilbert is bizarre, and Rico on bench so it's hello GREENWOOD

  24. The Chosen One...
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Guilbert can't even get on the bench

    1. Who Am I?
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      What's going on with him?

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        It's really strange, must be something up as he was their best player in pre season

    2. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Isn't he injured?

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Ahhhh

    *logs in to check lineups. Hi lads

    1. Greasy Grealish Gang
      • 4 Years

      Whatup

  26. Yip Jaap Stam

    King for a hat trick

  27. potatoace
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    After him not starting last week, I thought I'd made a schoolboy error punting on someone I didn't know.

    So , I promptly ditched Ceballos.

    Sigh, this is going to be a long tiresome season.

    1. BEARZINHO
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Potato move

    That guy that took a hit to bring in Maupay for King when the King rumours were circling, rip dude.

    1. Yip Jaap Stam
      • 5 Years
