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.

    The sound of a thousand WC drafts being ripped up

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Why so? The wildcard is surely based on:

      GK: Pope, Button / Martin
      DF: TAA, Doherty, Lundstram, Lascelles
      MF: KDB, Son, Fernandes
      FW: Abraham, Jimenez, Rashford

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        Not seen only line up 4-3-3

        1. FPL Pillars
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 24 days ago

          Any *

        2. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 24 days ago

          Not saying go 4-3-3. But saying that most WC drafts on this site will continue to have 9+ of those players.

      2. Moderately content penguin
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        NKetiah just another Greenwood doesn’t enable very much

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 24 days ago

          Nketiah / Greenwood are 2nd or 3rd on your bench. They are good enablers still.

      3. Reg83
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        I have only 5 of them in my wc

      4. One More Hit
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        DCL, Vardy, Barnes, no?

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 24 days ago

          Are people really going big on Leicester with their fixtures and form?

          Will watch Wolves later today, but if they do well then surely it is Man Utd, Wolves, Man City, Liverpool, Son and a sprinkle of Pope and Sheff Utd all the way?

          1. The Polymath
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 24 days ago

            Not Sheff U, look at their fixtures.

            1. diesel001
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 24 days ago

              Sheff Utd is really Lundstram (because loads have him cheap) or Robinson.

          2. diesel001
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 24 days ago

            Since 1 Jan 2020 in the PL:

            Leicester W3 D3 L3

            Those losses have come against Burnley, Southampton and Norwich. Draws against Watford, Wolves and Chelsea.

  2. One More Hit
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    69 points from 1. 14 to play. Fingers crossed.

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      69 from 1 hmmm, dirty.

      1. Firminooooo
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        Don’t try that at home. Break your back.

  3. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Auba on the left again. Shame. Will limit his potential.

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      I'd take one goal right now

    2. Nightcrawler
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Honestly id take 10 points from leno auba and saka. Hopeless team

  4. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Auba hattie incoming

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      I think he will certainly be fired up.

  5. Better luck next year
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Decent WC draft? 0 in the bank

    Pope Button
    TAA Doherty Daiss K. Fermenia Lascelles
    Salah KDB Fernandes Son Guendouzi
    Rashford Jimi 4.3

    1. The Red Devil
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Too many bench players

  6. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Justin and Sarr or Aurier and Barnes?

    1. The Red Devil
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      First! Thinking of downgrading lundstram to Justin

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        He looked decent today

    2. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Anyway u can get aurier and Sarr?

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        Would be about .3 off. Probably could do that if I tweaked

  7. George Agdgdgwngo
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Think I’m set. Can’t have dcl or Pope due to mini league rival ownership.

    Foster
    TAA • Aurier • Saiss
    Mane • KDB • Son • Bruno • Richarlison
    Rashford • Jiminez
    (3.9 / Lascelles / Taylor / Greenwood)

    Think greenwood could be worth a punt

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Top team that fella

  8. Dacra
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Pepe and Auba please do things.

    And Nketiah, get on the pitch!

  9. GREEN IS GOOD
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Mahrez could get plenty of points in the next few weeks. More than Son.

    Just saying.

    1. Reg83
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Or bergwijn

  10. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Lundstram+ Barnes
    Or
    Justin + sarr

  11. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Hope EPL rotation isn't as harsh as the Bundesliga. All four of my mids not playing, three of them very much premiums too.

  12. Firminooooo
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Leno, Saka and Aubameyang lets go.

    1. Reg83
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Pepe and aub

    2. Marty McFly
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Same here

  13. Reg83
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Commited a big blunder going d Luiz over saka.. atleast d Luiz red caused my tc kdb to get the penalty.

  14. pukunui
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    GW31+ FH team: Pope, van Dijk, TAA, Soyuncu, Mané, Son, Bergwijn, Barnes, Vardy, Jiménez , DCL, Button, Moutinho, Lascelles, Taylor. What would you change? Was impressed by Demarai Gray when he came in for Barnes (who I thought was subdued). Worth swapping? Other changes you would suggest? Thanks.

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Well you cant have eitheras we dont know who will start now.

      Traore in that fange might be a steal if start bs BOU

  15. Karan_G14
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    TAA, Doherty & Maguire in a 3 man defence too expensive going forward?

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      No

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Don't think so

      TAA elite, Doherty fantastic and Maguire not that expensive with good fixtures

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      No - that’s my back 3 going forward

    4. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Thinking of passing on a United defender for 2 of Pog Martial Rash. Bruno of course in.

    5. Dr. Agabuse
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Yes. Rotate cheaper good fixture defenders instead Maguire

      Lascelles Taylor offer value along Robinson

    6. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Cheers lads! 🙂

  16. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    2.3 Million left in the bank. Who should I get on the WC?

    Pope
    TAA, Doherty, Maguire
    KDB, Salah. Fernandes, Son
    Jimenez, DCL, Jota

    Subs: Button, McCarthy, Lascelles, Robinson

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      How short are you of Jota to Rash

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        I can get him, but think DCL will do better v Norwich. Will probably get him after next GW but having 2.3 million lying around seems criminal.

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 24 days ago

          I'd do Jota to Rash, keep DCL

    2. Dr. Agabuse
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Hey Wolvi,

      i am considering bringing Traore for Canzwell of he starts and does well vs West Ham?
      Stupid as hes one of those that will be rotatef according to opponent and formation?

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        Has not been playing as often recently but that could change in these GW+ weeks.

        1. Dr. Agabuse
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 24 days ago

          Just two amazing fixtures coming up but really wondering if he can get his place back. Has burnt me before but one of the few things i could do preparing for a BB the week after

    3. Nightcrawler
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Rashford for jota

    4. Dr. Agabuse
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      McCarthy to Martial and Jota to Nketiah

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        Thanks. Martial not filling me with excitement, didn't do much v. Spurs.

  17. The Sociologist
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Looks great! Depending on the Chelsea and Wolves game, maybe Abraham over Jota?

    1. The Sociologist
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Reply fail for Wolves above...

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        Thanks, yep Abraham is another pick but has City at home so not that enamoured.

        1. Dr. Agabuse
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 24 days ago

          Maybe Jota now and Abraham after
          but i think Martial is where the values at

          1. The Polymath
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 24 days ago

            Could be.

          2. Tempestic
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 24 days ago

            Will Martial not get constantly reduced minutes from Ighalo?

  18. Silecro
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Good to go for WC?

    Patricio
    Trent/Aurier/Taylor
    Salah/KDB/Son/Fernandes
    Rashford/DCL/Jota

    Martin, Maguire, Lascelles, Saka

    Really torn about defence set-up for next week, but I trust BUR defence more than MUTD so will go with taylor...probably.

    Any advice?

  19. The Sociologist
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Surely this Özil benching can’t be described as “tactical”...

    1. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Tactically want him to leave the club.

    2. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Started every game under Arteta. Can only be fitness, should be able to maintain it on 350k a week.

      1. Firminooooo
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        Fortnite form more important for him.

        1. KGFC
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 24 days ago

          😆

  20. Tinmen
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Sancho dropped for Dortmund.
    Looks like he’s on his way

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Man Utd with Sancho:

      De Gea
      AWB Lindelof Maguire Shaw
      Fernandes Matic Pogba
      Sancho Rashford Martial

      Could use a replacement for Matic though.

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        The world isn’t ready!

      2. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        Might close the 40 point gap

      3. Guru Mediation
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        Henderson instead of de gea

      4. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        Top of the league next year

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      How soon could he play? Will weget new options in July?

  21. Jam0sh
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Templatish WC draft:

    Pope
    TAA, Doherty, Lascelles
    Salah, Fernandes, Son, KDB
    Jota, Rashford, DCL

    Subs: Button --- Femenia, Dendoncker, 3.9

  22. Cak Juris
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Pukki + Sterling >> DCL + Salah is worth for -4 pts ??

    1. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      For this week I would.

  23. Better Call Raul
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Saka being deployed at CM today, must be one of the first names on Mikel's team sheet

  24. Says
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    "We'll now have 90 minutes silence for the memory of Mesut Ozil's career"

  25. Eytexi
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Any Championship fans managing to run iFollow (or equivalent?)? Or found an alternative way of streaming games online?

  26. Brosstan

    6 years, 24 days ago

    Auba misses sitter...

  27. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Pepe almost sets up auba

  28. FPL_Devil
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Please pick one. TIA. Transfers will be made for BB in 33+

    A) 31: Aguero to Abraham, 32: Bellerin to Doherty, 33: Grealish to Son
    B) 31: Bellerin to Doherty, Aguero to Abraham(-4), 32: Grealish to Son
    C) 31: Laporte to Doherty, 32: Bellerin to Fernandez, 33: Grealish to Mount

    Leaning toward B

    1. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      B

  29. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    No Dawson is he...

  30. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    Saka is a LCM able to go out to LW to cover for Auba. Gives Auba freedom to drift inside
