Aubameyang starts again as Arteta shuffles the Arsenal attack

Owners of popular Double Gameweek 30+ asset Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.1m) will be pleased with Arsenal’s latest line-up.

Despite playing 90 minutes in the 3-0 defeat at Manchester City on Wednesday night, the Gunners’ number 14 has been handed another start on Saturday afternoon.

Outside of Aubameyang, Mikel Arteta has certainly shuffled the pack for the trip to Brighton, including Alexandre Lacazette (£9.4m) up-front and dropping Eddie Nketiah (£4.4m) to the bench.

It is possible that the Frenchman could be paired with Aubameyang in a front-two, although the personnel chosen by Arteta could also line-up in a 4-2-3-1.

Nicolas Pépé (£9.3m) returns to the side to operate on the right-hand side of midfield, while Bukayo Saka (£4.7m), making a second start in the space of a week, could either play on the left of midfield or as the number 10.

Rob Holding (£4.4m) comes in for the injured Pablo Mari (£4.8m) and suspended David Luiz (£5.7m), while Sead Kolasinac (£5.2m) replaces the benched Kieran Tierney (£5.3m).

Meanwhile, Mesut Özil (£7.3m) still cannot get into the starting line-up, although was, at least, included on the bench this time.

Brighton manager Graham Potter has gone with a 4-3-3 shape with a largely unsurprising selection.

Neal Maupay (£5.7m) spearheads the attacking trio, flanked by Leandro Trossard (£5.8m) and Pascal Groß (£6.2m).

Budget option Aaron Mooy (£4.8m) may be one to watch given his pre-lockdown form. He is in the central midfield trio with Davy Pröpper (£4.8m) and Yves Bissouma (£5.0m).

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Ryan; Burn, Webster, Dunk, Schelotto; Pröpper, Bissouma, Mooy; Trossard, Maupay, Groß.

Arsenal XI: Leno; Kolasinac, Holding, Mustafi, Bellerín; Saka, Ceballos, Guendouzi, Pépé; Aubameyang, Lacazette.

        People would be fuming if it was allowed pre-VAR.

      Add few inches earlier and Saka would have been on 10+ points today

  2. La Roja

    Son - Abraham or Mount - Kane ??

    1. Tempestic

      A

    2. Reg83

    Thoughts on WC draft?

    Pope/button
    Trent, Doherty, Maguire, Lascellas, Lundy

    1. have you seen cyan

    2. Burger

      Needs more Rash.

      1. Garlana
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Can't have them all, besides he's no longer on pens now.

        1. Burger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          He's scored 5 penalties in 134 games, hardly a deal breaker.

    3. Sandy Ravage
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Needs more Man City players

      Maguire? Did you see him last night?

      1. Mambino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        yes he had a bad game so never trust him again

        1. Shah G
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Did we saw the same game?.. I didn't see anything bad..

          1. Tempestic
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            Terrible defending for the goal

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

            To be fair it was only really the mistake that led to the goal that was bad but in the context of 1 game a bad mistake means a bad game imo. I rate Maguire personally though and that was what I was getting at with my comment

            1. Shah G
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 10 months ago

              Just watched it again I dont think it was a fault but actually a very good skill play by Bergwin..

      2. Shah G
        • 10 Years

        I did, what did you see?..

          Its not like we didnt tell them running ladder leagues was hard hard work

          1. Piggs Boson
            • 12 Years

            It can't be that hard to write a program that automates it all...

              The hard part is the communication

              Ok, will get that sorted. Sorry.

  11. Reg83

    Feel relieved that Pepe is now on potential 3 points!

  12. The Ejiptian King

    Pepe made it to 60, it's a miracle.

    1. Reg83
      • 4 Years

      And now he's scored!! Wat a wise investment by us!

  13. Says
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    How can they not show a relay? all we care about was whether that pass went under Laca or not - basically the highlight of the game.

    Schelotto 4.0?

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years

      Yea just thinking about him, might swap Robinson for him as I already have Lundstram

  15. Powers106

    Will we see Nketiah? Could use even 1 point!

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years

      Yeah, my Leno/Nketiah pairing isn't looking to great just now. 🙁

    Does anyone else consider the specified substitution periods pointless? How does that help prevent Covid?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      think it was more to do with fitness issues and summer months

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Isn't it more about keeping the game flowing rather than Covid? Like when Sven used to destroy international friendlies by bringing on loads of subs at various points in England games. FIFA got fed up and had to limit subs.

        Thanks - understand now

      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      As someone who hates how I'm made wait and watch someone take their sweet time strolling off the pitch multiple times towards the end of games, breaking the momentum, I'm glad there are not more opportunities for it. Ideally I'd prefer subs were made without stopping play at all though.

      A Gaffer could hold on to them and do 5 separate switches during injury time

      I dont understand what you mean by specified substitution period but if by that you mean teams can only make substitution 3 times that is so teams don't waste time by making one substitution 5 times..

      1. ClassiX

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Aah - thanks everyone - so basically it's to limit gamesmanship because of the extra subs. Makes far morse sense now. Cheers

    Wanted to keep Aubameyang for his good run of fixtures, but having second thoughts now

    1. Camino Aleatorio

      He’s steaky. Not his fault Arsenal is trash. This kid deserves to play for a real club

        3 years, 10 months ago

        nah i'm joking its not too bad. Nylands got a good fixture this week so u can maybe leave leno for a week. U just have to find the biggest priorities u want out

    2. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years

      Next season is only 7 weeks away apparently.

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Assuming Nyland retains the starting keeper position, then probably got to change one of your expensive attackers. Probably Sterling>Salah or Mane.
      Then Kun/Auba to someone like Rashford maybe the week after

      If Nyland doesnt start next game tho you're in a pickle

  20. Andy_Social
    • 11 Years

    How many of us have Hendo/Leno as GKs for this DGW? I was intending to use Leno for the fixtures while Blades' turn tricky. I can ease the pain by switching Hendo for Martinez, banking 0.5. That way it doesn't matter if Leno misses a few games.

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I'm deciding on whether to take a hit to swap Leno, go without a keeper next week or use it as an excuse to FH.

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years

      Sell Leno. He’ll be out for the season.

    3. pingissimus

      Think that’s Leno’s season done - it’s not as if there are 9 weeks for him to recover
