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 injury has made me lose interest in this game.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      It's unfair isn't it?

    2. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      6 points in the bank.....then robbed.

    3. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Aye.. I'm done.. just gets worse and worse!

  2. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Pope or Martinez as set and forget on WC?

    1. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Martinez

    2. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Martinez plays for Arsenal, do not do that to yourself.

      1. Greek Freak
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        You'd take a 4.2 playing goalkeeper regardless of who they play for.

        1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Nah Arsenal is an exception.

    3. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Martinez and use the 0.7 elsewhere

  3. DMP
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    How bad was Leno injury?

    1. THE Wild Rover
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      🙄

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Bad bad

      1. DMP
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Season over?

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Twisted knee, screamed out in pain.

      1. DMP
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Ty.

    4. el polako
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Taken off on the strecher, looked to be in a lot of pain.

    5. Piggs Boson
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Bad enough that they couldn't show the replay.

    6. Warby84
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Pretty horrific.. Leg bent forward..

    7. Checko
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Bad. Screamed out and they didnt want to show the replay

  4. Moderately content penguin
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Suppose the Ryan cs is almost inevitable

  5. Danstoke82
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Is Bergwijn now a serious option for Spurs cover do we feel? I currently own Son but the money saved could help elsewhere?

    1. el polako
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Cover is a myth.

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      On here probably not

      In reality he is a great option.

    3. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Alli will probably come back into the team. So it's either Bergwijn or Lamela who makes way. The commentators were bigging up Lamela's performance against MU, but I though he was rank.

    4. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Wouldn’t risk it as Alli will be back next game

    5. Reg83
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Yes. I am getting bergwijn. He is good

  6. Checko
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Rashford or Martial? Already got Bruno

    1. The_Fish
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I’m going with just Bruno I think.

      1. Party time
        6 years, 2 months ago

        I am not sure you understood the question

        1. The_Fish
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          My answer was neither.

          1. Party time
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Fair enough 🙂

    2. Party time
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Martial

    3. TwiggsJameson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Martial better value, but who knows.

    4. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Rashford

    5. Shah G
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I was thinking of Martial with Bruno but he was almost invisible in the game even with Utd dominating the ball.. Rashford was better but not enough for that money.. So I am 95% sure I'll go without either of them..

    6. Reg83
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Rashford.

  7. JIMMY TUGGINS
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    So, when does next season start?

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      7 weeks

    2. Rogue Todd
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      After the 7th wave in 2026

      1. JIMMY TUGGINS
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Wonder if I'll still be putting Pepe in then?

  8. tm245
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Laca and Pepe seen fighting in the the tunnel over who gets to swap jerseys with Maupay after the match.

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I heard Laca is able to Pay Mau

  9. have you seen cyan
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Why did people pick Leno when Nyland was available?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      seriously?

      1. have you seen cyan

        obvious in hindsight I know

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 17 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Have you forgotten about the Hawkeye failure already?

          1. have you seen cyan
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            world class positioning by Nyland, found Hawkeyes only blindspot

            1. Twisted Saltergater
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 17 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              😀

              Can’t believe you’re buying their “official” excuse.

              1. have you seen cyan
                • 7 Years

                :>

                • 15 Years
                6 years, 2 months ago

                Why not? It makes song

                1. Ginkapo FPL
                  • 15 Years
                  6 years, 2 months ago

                  Sense

                2. Twisted Saltergater
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 17 Years
                  6 years, 2 months ago

                  They’re not going to come out and say someone forgot to set it up correctly / turn it on. That admits liability.

                  Saying their 7 cameras couldn’t see it, doesn’t.

                  1. have you seen cyan
                    • 7 Years
                    6 years, 2 months ago

                    I must be stupid I thought they had some like sensor in the ball :/
                    That would never fail

                    1. Twisted Saltergater
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 17 Years

                      They do 🙂

                      1. have you seen cyan
                        • 7 Years
                        6 years, 2 months ago

                        wtf really, then that is odd

    2. Tempestic
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      1) because we only knew he'd start 5 minutes b4 deadline. 2) he plays for the worst defence in the league

      1. Tempestic
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        extremely lucky to have gotten a "clean sheet" last game as well even tho they conceded

    3. Greek Freak
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Obviously they weren't good enough FPL managers to predict the Leno injury.

      1. HashAttack
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Just didn't think the injury would happen before 60 minutes .... I'll have to give my crystal ball a polish

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Bought wrong crystal ball

    5. have you seen cyan

      Unlucky tho

      1. Guru Mediation

      Really??? 😆

  10. Davido989
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Pope to Martinez allows me to do Bergwijn to Pogba

    Triple United attack GGMU

    1. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Thats a thought. Martinez and Button.

      1. Firminooooo
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Save 0.7m. Good fixtures.

  11. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Which option is better for next 2 GW’s?

    A) Sarr Vardy
    B) KDB DCL

  12. Cak Juris
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Leno injury made me prepare for Wildcard

    Pope - Martinez
    TAA - Doherty - Justin - Lascelles - Kiko Femenia
    Salah - KdB - Bruno - Mount - Saka
    Kane - DCL - Jimenez

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Kane?!

    2. Guru Mediation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Did you see Kane last night?

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        No one did, game was even on 3 channels.

      2. Cak Juris
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        No, just to maximize my budget.... so, who?
        Vardy? Rashford?

        1. Guru Mediation
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Anyone other than Kane. Those 2 are decent. Could try to upgrade Mount to Son

        2. Checko
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Rashford, Abraham, Literally anyone

    3. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Not entirely sure if it’s right time to pick Kane at this stage

    4. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Wouldn’t touch Kane at 7m, he’s finished at the top level

  13. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Maupay is just a disgrace. Not only he's an awful striker... This is terrible sportsmanship. + Costing me points as a striker at the beginning of the season and now killing my perfect gk choice.

    1. TwiggsJameson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Don't think it was Maupay's fault at all. Chill....

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        He jumped into Leno when he caught the ball. But just cause we're Arsenal and were a bunch of softies, that makes it okay.

        1. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          He left a bit on him, nothing too malicious. Happens 10 times every match.

          1. TwiggsJameson
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Indeed. Better the devil you know.......
            Still, given time, I think Arteta can sort out Arsenal. I hope he gets the time.

      2. Jam0sh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Actually he contributed quite much on Leno coming down awkwardly from air by coming late to his side. Touch was not big howevee. Unlucky

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      He didnt kill Leno

  14. Bubz
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Reckon Nketiah gets minutes in this?

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Would think he would be bought on yeah

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      He’ll score

      1. Bubz
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        I think he will if he gets 20 mins aye

  15. FPL Pillars
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Leno 🙁

    Poor fella.

  16. Party time
    6 years, 2 months ago

    We want our Emery back

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Wenger was better

      1. Party time
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Yes

      2. TwiggsJameson
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Indeed. Better the devil you know.......
        Still, given time, I think Arteta can sort out Arsenal. I hope he gets the time.

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Nah. Arteta needs to clear out the rot (Luiz, Xhaka, Ozil and Lacazette). If Auba doesn't want to sign a new contract then Auba needs to go too.

      Then build around the youngsters - Leno, Tierney, Holding, Bellerin, Torreira, Guendouzi, Ceballos, Saka and Pepe.

      Needs to sign a CB and FW. Think that should be Ake and Edouard.

  17. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Leno 🙁

    Terrible luck

    1. TwiggsJameson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Yep. Pi**ed as a Leno owner, but hey ho.....
      I'll take 6 points.
      Wishing Leno well, looked a really bad knee injury 🙁

  18. One More Hit
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Which chip is more valuable for the run in? FH or wildcard?

    I suspect we're going to see even more injuries over the weekend (I know Leno couldn't be guessed), but it looks like I'm going to end up needing a -8 if I don't use a chip.

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      WC easily most valuable chip.

      1. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        lol

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      FH

    3. Warby84
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I’ll just keep Nyland this week as I will do a -4 to get in Salah

    4. One More Hit
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Was thinking more along lines of wildcarding now and keeping FH either for a 38 punt or if there's a set of games wiped out. Otherwise it's a W/C in 33.

  19. Tempestic
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Leno 🙁

    So sad

  20. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    gutted with the Leno injury - in my FH and original team

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, nasty one too. Hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.

    2. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Same, still have BB too so need to get rid of him.

  21. AC Pilkington
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on this FH team?

    Martinez
    Trent - Saiss - Lascelles
    Salah - Mane - Son - Richarlison
    DCL - Jimenez - Rashford

    Bench: Guendouzi + non-playing fodder

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Beautiful team

      1. AC Pilkington
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks mate. Only downside really is I only Guendouzi as my bench playing player

    2. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Given the frequency of the games, I'm wary about having a non-playing bench.

      Auba will be captain material in a couple of GWs.

        Based on the fixture only, not going near it based on where and how he's playing.

          Might as well roll the dice - most of the good players play against each other in the City v. Liverpool match and we have no idea how that'll pan out. Could be 0-0, could be 4-4. As good a week as any to punt on Auba.

      It's only half time mate, but I take your point. Hoping for but not expecting a Pepe / Aubamayang show in the second half.

    Two first half goals in the six matches so far? I think the split is usually about 40/60 between halves but this is really slow stuff.

    Get Lacazette off. Guy is a lump. Get him out the club too.

      Good footballer but would happily cash in on him if Auba stays.
