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.

    I am making an angry video to remind myself never to choose arsenal players ever again. That way I can play it when I am putting next season's team together and start thinking about traps like pepe and auba. Hate arsenal. So rubbish

    1. Reg83

      Absolutely agree. Pepe is nothing but garbage. Saka the only one worth putting as a 5th mid

    Already used my FT and going into next week with Henderson and Leno as my goalkeepers. Should I just go without a keeper next week and move Leno another week or take a hit to bring in a keeper next week?

      Personally I'd take a hit. Might cost you a couple of points, might not. Only a few weeks lift, might as well go for it. Looks like Leno isn't coming back so there's money you can claw back.

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 9 Years

        Thanks, leaning towards this. I might also see if a FH is worth it as well to get a better team out.

        Knew I wouldn't be alone! Was always going to be a strange week, can't complain too much.

    Silly question.
    If I make transfer for hits but want to decide later whatever to WC or FH can delete all hits, right? But how? 🙂

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

      Take as many hits you want then when you decide to use chip make one more transfer and choose which chip you want to play, all hits will get removed..

      1. StoichkovFPL

    1. Hect.OR 98th

      Maybe not

    2. Hect.OR 98th
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

  13. Reg83

    Looks like Leno season over? Martinez good option for bb now?

    1. Hect.OR 98th
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I'm keeping him but make sure you get a playing alternative, just in case a third keeper appears at Arsenal.

    Do we reckon Son will start for Spurs on Tuesday against West Ham? Played the full 90 in a tiring game vs Utd...

    1. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      I do

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

        like Moanrinho said himself - he has no other attacking options

  15. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Auba goal disallowed

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      Rightly though

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Yep

      Michael Oliver is on VAR today, anything can happen.

    Is this a decent FH team (with WC next week in mind)?

    Lloris
    TAA Gomez Doherty

    Finally some revenge for Leno.

  20. Brosstan

    Lacazette should probably have left a little more on Ryan there. For what Maupay did to Leno.

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

      Well that's a messed up way of thinking

      An eye for an eye will make the world go blind.

      Makes no sense. If your friend hurts somebody from another group, would you be happy if you got thumped for it?

    Brighton fans booing the offside decision ruling out Aubameyang‘a goal 😆

  25. Budweiser

    Saka an inch away from a goal and assist

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Saka owners have been unlucky so far

  26. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Did look well offside in real time

  27. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Saka, Holding, Martinez, Nketiah (based on Lacas peformance)

    Arsenal is providing us with plenty of enablers

  28. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Get Nketiah onnn

  29. goriuanx
    • 13 Years

    Saka is so, so good

    Only a year left on his Arsenal contract
