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.

    Leno replicating most FPL managers in cursing Maupay

    6 points from two games, one of which against City, isn't bad. Can't really complain.

  9. Brosstan
    • 11 Years

    This game reminds me why I was happier when the FPL was postponed indefinitely... What a joke

    1. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Leno is one of my GKs and I still have BB unfortunately.

  15. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Luckily for Arsenal, Martinez is a quality backup.

  16. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    had the sense to have a Leno & Martinez double up ...

  17. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Nketiah on bench
    Leno off
    Auba on wing
    All going well for the easier fixture!

    So much bad luck for Arsenal regarding injuries and only 1 and a half game back in

  20. HD7
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Any Chelsea player in particular for the run in?
    Had Tammy in the WC draft but maybe DCL is the better option.

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      RLC if he can stay fit or or Pulisic for me. See how they do tm.

  21. TwiggsJameson
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

  22. Chucky

  23. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Perfect timing with Hendo unable to play against Man U

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Hope this screws up a lot of people 🙂

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Theyve all got wildcards

        1. waltzingmatildas
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Nope

        2. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Not everyone

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Indeed

    2. waltzingmatildas
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Yup, ft decided for me then!

  25. diesel001

    Martinez at £4.2m. Perfect bench GK.

  26. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    This dgw is becoming shambolic

  27. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Martinez clearly a crowd favourite

  28. Peter Ouch
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Very likely ACL tear, he will miss the next season

  29. Chandler Bing
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    How is Maupay still on the pitch?

    1. TAT
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      It's Atkinson refereeing.

  30. tm245
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    No Arsenal players except Leno had a word with Maupay? Tells you all you need to know about this squad.

    1. gers23
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Agree with this. I

    2. el polako
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Very true.

    3. L S P
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      That’s not true - most of the team surrounded him in the immediate aftermath.

      And they were still talking to him after Leno told him off.
