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.

    Maupay delivers on his strong stats.

      About 4 months late

    Literally no idea who to get in for Auba. My gran would be a better pick ffs

    1. The Polymath

      He was unlucky today

    2. One More Hit

      Vardy, DCL, Jimenez, frankly, anyone else. Not Auba’s fault he’s playing on the left wing I guess

        Kane maybe?

    Arsenal players in general are so salty and childish. Pathetic team with a pathetic attitude.

    Maupay did absolutely nothing wrong today. A very unfortunate injury for Leno.

      The last 7 years of Wenger destroyed the culture and standards of Arsenal and Emery was not able to salvage it.

      Arteta needs to clear out the squad. Starting with Luiz, Xhaka, Lacazette, Ozil and potentially, Auba (if he doesn't want to sign a new contract).

      Arteta needs to work with the youngsters and develop a new culture with higher standards.

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

        Bang average club now. Wouldn't be surprised if they finish 10th next season.

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

          Yep. That is why they need to clear out the senior players. The senior players have a certain culture. That is not the culture and level that Arsenal needs if they want to get back to the top.

    2. badgerboy

      They always seem mentally fragile as a unit.

  4. Monkey Hanger

    Did Guendozi even touch Maupay, Brighton player should be embarassed.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Pathetic by Maupay

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

        Pathetic by guendozi. He should get 3 match ban. Maupay the hero

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 24 days ago

          Get some fresh air.

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Guendozi flicked out a hand as Maupay ran past. Definitely made contact with Maupay who of course made the most of it.

    3. Davido989

      Looks worse in slow motion

      It's street wise, every player does it

  5. Firminooooo
    • 10 Years

    Hope Guendouzi dont get banned. He is coming in as my fifth midfielder.

    This camera man must be zoomed in from 1 mile of social distancing. Getting queasy watching this interview

      OR WOMAN

        Nice save.

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years

          OR BADGER

            Need thumbs to work those things. Snuffling around in hedges is about all we're good for.

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

              Speak for yourself boy. I'm sure the badgergirls of this world are up to the task

              1. badgerboy

                • 11 Years

                The need to get out from under the Badger patriarchy first.

                1. Deulofail
                  • 10 Years

                  Oppressor!

                  I'm sure they can smash through that grass ceiling

                  1. badgerboy

                    • 11 Years
                    6 years, 24 days ago

                    The hedgehogs did it years ago, we're just a bit behind the times.

    Maupay:

    "Arsenal players need to learn humility. They deserved what they got."

    😆

      Loved that! Well said

    2. Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      Did he really say that? He shouldn't be surprised if he gets beat up on the way home.

  8. Danstoke82

    Best 3rd forward option to go alongside Jimenez and Rashford in my WC draft?

    A) DCL
    B) Ings

    Thanks in advance

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

      See how DCL plays first. Ings looked very fit and sharp

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        I feel it will be hard to judge DCL up against Liverpool though. Up against Van Dijk

    2. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      I would go DCL but save the difference in cash in case you decide to switch later. Can't judge him vs. Liverpool. Also with 2 games a week, and Soton nothing to play for, I expect Ings to suffer from rotation.

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 24 days ago

        Great feedback thankyou

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

    That's another side with nothing to play for now.

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

      They’ll still want to go for top 6 or even just to finish above Spurs who they are level with.

      They will still play like they have nothing to play for though I expect

  10. FPL Theorist

    Hats off to TheFantasyFreak, he nailed it! No Auba was the right move.

    1. BigManBakar

      Thank you! 🙂

  11. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    10 points from 2 in that game, not bad. Well, also I get Targett's points thanks to the third player in that game, Ozil. Hopefully at least 18 points from 3 then. I advise people to buy more Arsenal players!

  12. Cak Juris

    Please choose best option for wildcard team until GW 38:
    A. Nyland or Martinez
    B. Kiko Femenia, Lascelles or Charlie Taylor
    C. Justin, Egan or Saiss

  13. Nightcrawler

    Wish i wasnt around for the villa shu leaked team news

    Upgraded samatta to auba

    Downgraded TAA and Sterling to Mahrez and Alonso

  14. Conners
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 24 days ago

    I guarantee Auba will get a haul of points in the Southampton and Norwich games once the DGW is finished.

    You know how this game works.

  15. Hughes Your Daddy

    Come on Wolves!

  16. FPL_Devil

    63 with 8 left. Any good?

    1. Conners
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 24 days ago

      About average I'd say.
