Eddie Nketiah (£4.3m) makes an immediate return to the Arsenal team following his Gameweek 34+ suspension.

The young striker last a matter of minutes in the 1-1 draw with Leicester, in which he was sent off shortly after taking to the field as a substitute.

With that three-match ban out of the way, Mikel Arteta has thrown him back into the side for his first Premier League appearance since then.

Nketiah is joined in the attack by Arsenal’s key attackers Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m) and Alexandre Lacazette (£9.2m), who start together again for the first time since the Gameweek 35+ defeat at Spurs.

As has become usual, Arteta has lined his troops up in 3-4-3 formation, Bukayo Saka (£4.7m) and Cédric Soares (£4.8m) providing the width as wing-backs on this occasion.

Aston Villa line-up in their customary 4-3-3 formation, Jack Grealish (£5.9m) and Trézéguet (£5.2m) flanking Mbwana Samatta (£5.1m) in attack.

With Watford losing heavily against Manchester City, Dean Smith’s men may have half an eye on goal difference, as they currently share the same figure (-27) with the Hornets and are three points adrift of safety.

Aston Villa XI: Reina; Targett, Mings, Konsa, Elmohamady; Hourihane, D Luiz, McGinn; Grealish, Samatta, Trézéguet.

Arsenal XI: Martínez; Kolasinac, D Luiz, Holding; Saka, Torreira, Ceballos, Cédric; Aubameyang, Lacazette, Nketiah.

    Tell me who to captain next gw? I would be at Mount Everest & will be choked up with a busy schedule up & down that mountain

    1. CaptMidnight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Sterling

      1. Party time
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks buddy

    2. Wheyyyy
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Surely you can get early team news on top of everest?

      1. Party time
        6 years, 3 months ago

        I will probably be dead by then

  2. fgdu
    6 years, 3 months ago

    I played pep roulette with Sterling and won my ML (if nothing crazy happens)

    1. Tomerick
      6 years, 3 months ago

      First time captain in Sterling hasn’t backfired on me ever!

  3. Amey
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Still fuming with Mahrez ...
    Pathetic ....
    Should have sold for Raz for a hit as planned 🙁

    1. CaptMidnight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah you should have known that

    2. Syd.
      6 years, 3 months ago

      He is either brilliant or complete shite

      You got the complete shite version

      1. Amey
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Couldn't agree more
        Cheers

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I think he may be benched again in favour of Foden vs Norwich. Certainly not guaranteed to start.

      Not sure whether to stick or twist.

      1. Amey
        6 years, 3 months ago

        I'm twisting for sure !!
        Bloody ...... 😀

        Raz Dilva Jesus for me

      2. Bobby Digital
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Am twisting, going with Sterling and Dilva

      3. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 3 months ago

        I have Sterling, KdB and Mahrez.

        The right decision might be to sell KdB for DSilva but I'd then need a -4 to invest the funds (such as Bruno to Salah).

        Will wait until tomorrow 🙂

        1. Amey
          6 years, 3 months ago

          You are not on FH ?
          I'd hold Mahrez then. Not worth FT i guess

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Used it reasonably successfully last week. Team is well set for next week... just a luxury FT to consider 🙂

            1. Amey
              6 years, 3 months ago

              Great to know that !

    Guilbert gave Kola a nice puck there.

  5. Bobby Digital
    6 years, 3 months ago

    You guys know he's called Trezeguet because apparently he looks like David?

    1. Syd.
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Hasselhoff?

    2. Twisted Saltergater

    6. European Bob

    Last GW who will score more

    A) Vardy vs ManU
    B Kane vs CryP (-4)

    1. Rains of Castamere
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Harry

  7. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 3 months ago

    If Villa win, Bournemouth are relegated, right?

    1. CaptMidnight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 3 months ago

      No

    2. Nomar
      6 years, 3 months ago

      No.

      But as good as really.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Oh yeah. They can still escape if Watford and Villa lose on the last day and they win.

        1. Nomar
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Technically, if this result stands tonight West Ham could still go down too.

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 3 months ago

      No, they can catch Watford.

  8. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
    6 years, 3 months ago

    1 transfer.

    1.1 in the bank.

    Doherty (6.4) AWB (5.4) Kiko (4.2) Garcia (4.5) Robinson (4.0)

    Mane (12.2) De bruyne

    1. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
      6 years, 3 months ago

  9. Zilla

  10. Revival

    Arsenal in a last day battle with Burnley for 10th spot as it stands

    1. tucaoneo
      6 years, 3 months ago

      They have both regressed! One year they were competing for 6th.

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 3 months ago

        At least we will finish the season with a positive goal difference

  11. LǝgleSs e|even
    6 years, 3 months ago

    How was Laca in the 1st half anyone watching? Any chances, between Auba Nketiah and Laca whos been performing better?

    1. CaptMidnight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 3 months ago

      All shite

      1. syke63
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Underrated review here.

  12. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    6 years, 3 months ago

    On BB, swap Connolly out for -4 (5.8 max) or keep and hope

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Reckon he will play.

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Keep.

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks both

  13. FOO FIGHTER
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Play Aurier or Greenwood 38?

    1. CaptMidnight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Aurier

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I know this isn't helpful, but both if you can?

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        6 years, 3 months ago

        So bench Doherty?

        I am starting TAA and my wild punt Dunk.

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Yes. Id start both over Doherty and hope Chelsea score.

    3. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Greenwood!

  14. Pieters 4 Wood
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Point prediction

    Jesus+Son
    Sterling+Ings

    Go!

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Sterling Ings win

  15. GreennRed
    6 years, 3 months ago

    If Wolves win Europa League will there be an extra Europa League spot from PL?

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Not related at all.

      1. Zimo
        6 years, 3 months ago

        But they're in europa league qualification zone and winning would get them in champions league. Won't it go to team beneath them?

  16. Will J 256
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Really want Kane but also want sterling after his performance tonight. Can only get razz if I make a sacrifice up top. Would you prefer Mahrez and Kane/Auba or Sterling and Ings?

  17. Duke Silver ☑
    6 years, 3 months ago

    That linesman has been added to Sideshow Bob's list.

  18. Babit1967
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Think I’ll abandon Vardy to Jesus and just use my ft on Pat to Pope ( double up with tark) nothing else really worth doing and doubt pat gets a cleanie

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Keep Pat. Waste of a transfer.

      Vardy to Ings if you do not have enough cash for Kane or Auba?

      1. Babit1967
        6 years, 3 months ago

        I can see Vardy scoring tho, not sure if he will out score Ings mind you

  19. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Tie breaker for gw38? I will TC, rival will FH.

    1) Vardy, Pulisic > Rashford, Dilva
    2) Vardy, Pulisic, Doherty > Auba/Kane, Dilva, Pieters (-4)

    Pope
    Trent, Doherty, Aurier
    Salah, Pulisic, Bruno, KDB
    Vardy, Jimenez, Greenwood
    (Martin; Saiss, Douglas Luiz, Holgate)

  20. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 3 months ago

    How did Aubameyang miss that?!

    Nketiah assist wasted.

  21. Syd.
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Villa getting battered and Grealish just strolling about not helping out

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Too posh to poop.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 3 months ago

      If Villa stay up, they may be more reluctant to sell him.

      1. Nomar
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Deserves a bigger club, to be fair.

      2. Syd.
        6 years, 3 months ago

        I am not convinced that any of the top sides would be even remotely interested in him

        Maybe Everton or Newcastle

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Absolute match made in heaven for Everton.

        2. Davido989
          6 years, 3 months ago

          His attitude stinks. Arguably the most unprofessional player in PL.

  22. Party time
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Pick 4;
    A)Vardy
    B)Sterling
    C)Son
    D)Jesus
    E)Auba
    F)Kane
    G)Rashford
    H) Mahrez

      BCDG

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Kane, Sterling, Rashford, Son

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Sterling
      Rashford
      Ings

      Toss a coin between the others

    4. WE GO FOR IT
      6 years, 3 months ago

    5. Party time
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks all

  23. HollywoodXI
    6 years, 3 months ago

    How long after Sunday do you think we’ll wait until FPL is open again (bearing in mind Sept 12th is the proposed start date)?

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Be nice if the FPL reopened again when the fixtures for next season are announced

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I’d say Tuesday 18th August, or Tuesday 25th August

  24. yalala
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Wood Ings or Auba?

  25. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Red arrow with 40 from 5 played

    Jesus Christ what is going on this week

    1. Party time
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Martial hat trick tomorrow buddy

  26. bigdip
    6 years, 3 months ago

    TC choices for GW 38:
    A) KDB
    B) Jesus
    C) Dilva
    D) Mane
    E) Kane

    1. Benjustjamin
      6 years, 3 months ago

      C

  27. Dele
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Any chance of Foden getting minutes at the weekend?

    Jesus is trash and want to switch him to Kane.

    1. The_Fish
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Unlikely to start. Could come on.

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Highly unlikely.
      Soucek or Trezeguet can be good picks in that price range.

  28. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Reckon Aurier and Otamendi are decent shouts for the last week?

    1. Syd.
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Aurier yes

      Otamendi no

      1. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Seems to play alternate games and has goal threat

        1. Syd.
          6 years, 3 months ago

          I think pep will go full strength as it is Citys last competitive game before the CL game against Real

          5 days is plenty of time for the players to recover for Sunday and Laporte was subbed off early

  29. JustPark
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Auba vs determined Watford. Surely, no thank you?

    1. Syd.
      6 years, 3 months ago

      The only thing Watford are determined to do is get relegated.

      1. Nomar
        6 years, 3 months ago

        This.

    2. Duffy Dunk
      6 years, 3 months ago

      That determination should leave empty spaces for him.

    3. Nomar
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Watford are in free fall, they've completely lost form and confidence. My guess is they're hoping that Villa and Bournemouth are going to mess up and spare them.

  30. LewanGOALski
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Sterling worth that -4?

    Mahrez & Vardy ➡ Sterling & up to 7.7 FWD (no idea which though)

    1. LewanGOALski
      6 years, 3 months ago

      *I have Ings and Jimmy already

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Who'd be the striker? I guess it's between Giroud, Deeney, J. Rod and Gayle. Don't really fancy anyone.
      Also, Mahrez is almsot certain to start. So, no I don't think it's worth a hit.

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Vardy to Kane.
