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
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Sterling

      1. Party time
        6 years, 4 days ago

        Thanks buddy

    2. Wheyyyy
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

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

      1. Party time
        6 years, 4 days ago

        I will probably be dead by then

  2. fgdu
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

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

    1. Tomerick
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

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

  3. Amey
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

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

    1. CaptMidnight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Yeah you should have known that

    2. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      He is either brilliant or complete shite

      You got the complete shite version

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        Couldn't agree more
        Cheers

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 4 days 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
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

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

        Raz Dilva Jesus for me

      2. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        Am twisting, going with Sterling and Dilva

      3. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 4 days 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
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 days ago

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

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 17 Years
            6 years, 4 days ago

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

            1. Amey
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 4 days ago

              Great to know that !

  5. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

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

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years

      Hasselhoff?

    2. Twisted Saltergater

    B Kane vs CryP (-4)

    1. Rains of Castamere
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Harry

  7. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    If Villa win, Bournemouth are relegated, right?

    1. CaptMidnight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      No

    2. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      No.

      But as good as really.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

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

        1. Nomar
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 4 days ago

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

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      No, they can catch Watford.

  8. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 days 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

  10. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

    1. tucaoneo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

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

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

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

  11. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 days 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
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      All shite

        Underrated review here.

  12. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

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

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Reckon he will play.

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Keep.

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years

        Thanks both

  13. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    Play Aurier or Greenwood 38?

    1. CaptMidnight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Aurier

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

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

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        So bench Doherty?

        I am starting TAA and my wild punt Dunk.

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 17 Years
          6 years, 4 days ago

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

    3. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Greenwood!

  14. Pieters 4 Wood
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    Point prediction

    Jesus+Son
    Sterling+Ings

    Go!

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Sterling Ings win

  15. GreennRed
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

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

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Not related at all.

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 days 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
    6 years, 4 days 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 ☑
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

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

  18. Babit1967
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 days 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
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Keep Pat. Waste of a transfer.

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

      1. Babit1967
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

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

  19. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 days 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
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    How did Aubameyang miss that?!

    Nketiah assist wasted.

  21. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    Villa getting battered and Grealish just strolling about not helping out

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Too posh to poop.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

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

      1. Nomar
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        Deserves a bigger club, to be fair.

      2. Syd.
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 4 days 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
          • 17 Years
          6 years, 4 days ago

          Absolute match made in heaven for Everton.

        2. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 4 days ago

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

  22. Party time

    Pick 4;
    A)Vardy
    B)Sterling
    C)Son
    D)Jesus

    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
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

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

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

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

  24. yalala
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    Wood Ings or Auba?

  25. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    Red arrow with 40 from 5 played

    Jesus Christ what is going on this week

    1. Party time
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Martial hat trick tomorrow buddy

  26. bigdip
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

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

    1. Benjustjamin
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      C

  27. Dele
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    Any chance of Foden getting minutes at the weekend?

    Jesus is trash and want to switch him to Kane.

    1. The_Fish
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Unlikely to start. Could come on.

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

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

  28. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

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

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Aurier yes

      Otamendi no

      1. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        Seems to play alternate games and has goal threat

        1. Syd.
          • 17 Years
          6 years, 4 days 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
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    Auba vs determined Watford. Surely, no thank you?

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

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

      1. Nomar
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        This.

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      That determination should leave empty spaces for him.

    3. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 days 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
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    Sterling worth that -4?

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

    1. LewanGOALski
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      *I have Ings and Jimmy already

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 days 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
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Vardy to Kane.
