How Arteta has revitalised Arsenal’s attack and what it means for FPL managers

Mikel Arteta’s recent changes to his Arsenal team appear to have been getting the best out of his attacking options.

Even though the Gunners’ upcoming fixtures are not the most appealing, Fantasy Premier League managers would do well to keep an eye on north London.

Accordingly, we have analysed the fortunes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.3m), Emile Smith Rowe (£4.5m), Bukayo Saka (£5.3m) and Alexandre Lacazette (£8.3m) after fourth win in five Premier League games.

        Long season, all started by no Salah.

          That was my fault, I thought Leeds would do a job !

            We were 10 points apart in GW3, now 141 before tonight.

              Guessing u didn't have Salah either?

                I did & captained GW1, sold Son & Mitro GW2, WC3 like you, the rest has been a disaster for you.

    1. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 9 Years

      Your'e beating me if that helps

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Not overall mate. Been rough all season. Just waiting for luck to balance out as apparently it should over the course of the season.

        1. Danno - Emre Canada
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Arrr ok get you mate, I feel your pain, an absolute shocker of a seaso, , every single decision wrong. Plan for DGWs they don't happen, leave the player in to find form, never does, bench the highest scorer, Captain choices always wrong, oh well as you say, still half the season left hmmm...……….

          1. Coys96
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Completely the same! i went 8 weeks of consecutive captain blanks. GL for rest of season

            1. Danno - Emre Canada
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Ouch and you mate.

    Does Soucek get forward less with Antonio back?

    1. Pedersen
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yeb

    2. MagicMessi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      The Soucek trap was the best trap

      1. MagicMessi
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        And Vardy ofc

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Vardy had 9, 10 shots on goal over these two games.

          I think he was a bit unlucky. Unlucky could also be substituted for 'not sharp'... but then he did still get shots off.

      2. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Soucek could easily have had some assists today.

        But Vardy over Antonio was not my finest decision.

      3. Camino Aleatorio
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Looks like it

  3. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Frank has to go. Very very poor from Chelsea.

  4. bitm2007
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    My team still hasn't scored a goal but I'm guessing that nothing unusual in this GW.

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Neither, 18 players gone already

    2. Forgetmeknot
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ha good spot, same

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ah just realised, only Antonio and Stones

    4. tambourineman
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      My team still hasn't scored a single goal since New Years Day, hopefully I'll get at least one before the year ends!

  5. myteamissheeeeeeeet
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Chilwell must go?

    A. Yes he’s half the payer he was!
    B. No keep he’ll come good!

    1. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure for whom, fellow owner.

      I dont think there is any vlue in upgrading to a middling mid. Maybe choose a different defender that would still play. Mitchell may be an option..

      1. Gunners in Haaland
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        R. Pereira

      2. myteamissheeeeeeeet
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Carries no threat going forward. Looks scared when he crosses the half way line. Missive shame! My other defenders are:
        Cancelo Holding Justin Kilman. Chilwell to Stones/Dias seems a no brainer but probably missed the boat 🙁

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      just raged him out for Dias

      as a CFC fan tired of double punishment

      1. myteamissheeeeeeeet
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Don’t blame you, thinking the same pal

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Keeping for another week and will ship for Justin or Shaw

  6. Hect.OR 98th

    3 years, 1 month ago

    Guy in my work league is on 119 with 11 players still to play. Christ.

    He's got 36 + de Gea on his bench in a bench boost.

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I’m on 115 (-12) after bonus with 10 to play - 1 of which is my captain. Great week in a terrible season. I’ve got 25 bench points with Wilson, AWB, and Martinez twice to play. I’m enjoying it before it all turns sour next GW. 🙂

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Great score

    2. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      That was what I dreamed of. Congrats to him

    3. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      88 (-12) with 13 to play, but only 5 points from my BB so far - Martinez, Bamford, James and Wilson

  7. R.C
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Close cup match for me..who wins?

    1. Martinez (x2), Grealish (x2), Stones, Bruno, Salah (C) + 6 points
    2. Targett (x2), Wilson, Salah, Bruno (C)

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      1

    2. chriscosta
      • 13 Years

  8. Coys96
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    18 players down. 58 points.

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

  9. Free Hat
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Couldnt be more happier with my - 8 for Smeichel, antonio and stones.

    Best transferbusiness I did in 5 seasons 😀

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years

        1. Stockport Hatter
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          115 (-12) with 10 to play so I’m happy pal.

          1. Stockport Hatter
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Ignore me sorry!! I reply failed hugely there!!

            1. Free Hat
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              No. Prob. Happy for you!

        2. Coys96
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          58 from 18 players

          CBA anymore

          1. Free Hat
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Tough. Just saw your link. Rough season I guess. Hope it will turn around for you!

    2. umerlfc
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Brilliant
      Schmeichel move is more gold than the others

      1. Free Hat
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah his points were an unexpected bonus!
        Probably would have gone Fabianski if it wasnt for moyes comments.

    3. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Schmeichel's been a bonus this week - sold Lloris for him ... shame I also bought in James instead of Justin

  10. R.C
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Antonio is a pain in the ass for us Soucek owners!

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, I’d have got him if I wasnt blocked already with WH.

      Still, I’ve had his points since GW1. Antonio looking the part now. Will look to swap them.

  13. caldracula
    • 8 Years

    Steele, Lampety, Bissouma + DCL > Schmichel, Dias, Soucek + Antonio for a -12 worked out well.

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years

      Great moves well done.

    2. Weak Become Heros

  14. HD7
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    After first 3-4 GWs was around 3.5 million K. Not the best start. Livefpl shows currently around 63k. Before GW I was around 170K, so I gues maybe around 100k aint too shabby after this GW concludes. Bottom line is you can always come back. Yes, luck, Covid Etc play roles. But how come people who finish consistently in the 100k then? 🙂
    Keep pushing

    1. beetlejuice
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      In GW11 I was 1,3M overall. Now sitting on 50K. To people having a bad season, don't mess with your team yet, comeback is still possible.

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Good job!

    2. aleksaa2
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ofc, I was around 2.7m in GW 10. Absolutely the worst start I ever had. Now I am at 450k. Slowly but surely.

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Building the momentum:)

  15. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Salah & Werner to Sterling & Vardy for -4?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Don’t know yet but getting Vardy for a hit is a bit odd.

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Good point. Cheers!

    2. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If Werner starts I would actually keep (I own too). Like the other move though.

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        If Lampard is sacked, then I'm definitely keeping.

    3. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Have Mane as well

  16. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Was thinking from what I had seen of Leicester that the return of Maddison hindered Vardy a bit, supposedly wasn't the case against Soton (I didn't see that) but in the games I've watched including today it looks that way a bit. Might have to make a move, he's generally done me well when I've had him in the past and they're in really good form

  18. Lilac Breasted Roller

    In a painful position after letting the MCI train pass by

    A) James -> Stones or Dias
    B) Salah -> KDB
    C) Rapinha/Vardy -> KDB / Brewster (bench fodder)

  19. umerlfc

  22. Plagued by indecision
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Pretty much all my mini league rivals played chips this week and last (free hit and wildcard). I’ve kept hold of them all and while they have gained some ground on me with scores in the 90s this week, i’m on 85(-4) with Bruno, Salah, Cityx3 and Villax4 to play. Should I be happy?

    1. aleksaa2
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No, cry

    2. R.C
      • 6 Years

      Terrible score, so no

    3. Coys96

      ignore them

  23. Fer Fuch's Ake

      Same, I went for him over Maddison 🙁

    3. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think he'll start

  24. bitm2007

    Has anybody ever scored a ton with no member of the team scoring a goal ? If Bruno and Salah fail again, it's a possibility for me !

    1. Long ago I drew a walrus
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah same originally. Would have been pretty sure of 100 if WH got their CS today.

    Which best option To free up cash Salah or Vardy out?

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      See how Salah does on Thursday.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Good point , although soo fed up with him

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

          A hattie will make you feel a lot better.

    2. Coys96

      Salah

      1. Stranger Mings

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years

      10 on bench boost.

    2. HashAttack

    3. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      10 by LiveFPL reckoning: KDB(TC), Stones, Dias, Grealish(x2), Bruno, Pope, Robbo.

    Can every footballers interview be like Maddison? Top class

      He is top class. I met him, out of all Leicester players he was the most humble, couldn't say the same about Vardy.

        So refrehing to see a player so honest. What was Vardy like in person? Only met Evans before of the Leicester ranks and he's down to earth

          Well, didn't speak to Vardy but he was pretty ignorant. It was at a pre-season friendly, some players signed stuff with fans, others like Vardy just ran off and went to warm up.

      Definitely. I can’t remember enjoying one so much.

    Salah and Bamford -> Vardy and Son? Have Kane.

      Just Salah to Son imo

        Vardy has Leeds Fulham and Wolves! Leicester flying

          Leicester have great fixtures but Maddison looks better pick than Vardy

            I didn’t want Madds to score tonight. Been tracking his progress for a few weeks and about to sign him this week. His goal is going to raise his price and stop him going under the radar for a few more weeks.

          I agree but keep hold of Bamford while he has Newcastle and Vardy has Everton

            Thanks. What about after that?

            1. Coys96

              Yes - no brainer 🙂

      No way would I buy Vardy after watching him closely tonight. He is off. His team is flying but something is not quite right with him. Maybe it’s the nagging hip. Or confidence.

    What a selfish arrogant interview from Maddison. And I loved it. Was so good to see someone gleaming and grinning and actually talking about themselves instead of just getting the 3 points. Don’t think I’ve seen a post match interview like it. Really made me smile as much as him.

      If Grealish did an internal like that he'd be crucified.

        I totally agree with you.
