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.

    Thoughts on this team? My bench seems so strong, especially given Leeds have Newcastle.

    Martinez
    Robbo Stones Coufal Targett
    Bruno Salah Son
    Antonio Bamford Vardy
    (Johnstone Raphinha Alioski Soucek)

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      lack of city attack could hurt imo

    2. Fer Fuch's Ake
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'd like to see at least one more MCity player in there

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Vardy to Kane after LIV game probably ... no change required

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

        *Ohh and another City defender

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

    Charlie Taylor to Stones
    And
    Grealish to Harvey Barnes

    For a -4. Yes or no?

    1. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. Or Maddison.

    2. Nedvěd11
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Taylor to Stones.

      Wait with Grealish

  3. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    If I had to choose one for the next several fixtures?

    A) Digne

    B) Chilwell

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Avoid Chelsea

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      a

    3. Hangman Page
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Chilwell was horrific tonight. I really like Leicester's defence. First time I've seen Fofana play live tonight he was excellent.

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

      LEI MCI MUN are better options? A with DCL out and B with no Giroud starting are not good enough value esp with no CS.

    5. Feed tha Sheep
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

    6. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Man U defender surely?

  4. Hangman Page
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    This game is so much about luck.

    I have put little to no thought into this GW having not watched any footy for a fortnight before tonight as I'd had enough after the Xmas period. Maddison was brought in for -4 while lying in the bath five mins before the deadline - I've not seen him kick a ball this season so had no idea if he was playing well - so there was precisely 0% "skill" in that. I only got Stones because I couldn't stretch to Cancelo, etc.

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

      Yes luck is a factor but it balances out over a season

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Mine's taking a long time to balance, probably needs 2 seasons. 😀

      2. Hangman Page
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe, but what is the skill we keep hearing about?

        The only thing I am convinced about that players with a good record have is that they don't do anything stupid very often (e.g. early moves, loads of hits, stilly captains), they hit all the deadlines and they maximise their chips. Outside of that where they finish is almost all luck.

        Its just being consistently sensible, knowing the trends and then hoping for some luck.

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

          Look at some people record and they consistently get top 5k. Look at others and they constantly get top 100k. Both are sensible but skill keeps the 1st guy ahead

          1. Hangman Page
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            What is the skill though?

            Commitment, knowledge, having the time etc. None of those are skill.

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

              Knowledge is skill

              1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
                • 14 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                Knowledge of what?

                Do you think using stats is skill too ?

          2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            It is possible out of millions of players for the same people to finish high and get lucky over a few seasons. With that many players surely thats possible. Skill in fpl isn't a thing. Keeping on top of it is

        2. ow00019
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          This game is about luck.... The people who do the best make the most sensible decisions. That sure sounds like luck?

        3. Fit_to_drop
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Look at the top 10 in the OR tonight. I’m blown away by how many of them have not just 1, but 3-4 of the really big scoring players this week. Stones, Cresswell, coufal, Barnes, Antonio, etc. I have 2 and I’m pleased. These guys are smashing it.

        4. Gross Blank Point
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Out of the Top 5 OR guys tonight only one has anything resembling a decent history, even then it was just one season. The others have been in the hundreds of thousands+
          Is this season an anomaly? Or is it just when the stars align for you you think it's skill?

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

      I'll take your luck any days 😆

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

      It is luck dependent but there's a reason why the top FPL players do well season after season. You don't realise how important luck is until it goes against you imo

      1. Hangman Page
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        What do you think that reason is, though?

        One thing I'd love to know is how many people really take this game seriously enough to hit every deadline and maximise chips like most on here do. I bet its under 100,000 people that do that.

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

          I got top 2.5k last year while missing multiple deadlines and not playing chips properly. I would like to think that involved a good amount of skill

          1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Where was the skill then? Sounds like absolute spawn to me 😉

  5. YEAH PITCH!
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who has been brave enough to do early transfers then? Go on.

    1. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not me, too many games and potential injuries to go

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

      Brave = silly? 😛

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Won’t be doing any moves until after Fa cup

    4. g40steve
      • 6 Years

      Rage transferred out Zouma don’t need 5 expensive defenders

    5. Nedvěd11
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Almost rage WC..

    GW20 team is basically ready to go... but the only coin flip is whether to start Wilson or Bamford. Both have been poor recently. Barring that, I could presume Leeds won't score and play Lewis instead, or presume Newcastle won't score and play Alioski.

    Wilson will be leaving for GW21, someone with more ooomph!

    1. Feed tha Sheep
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I’d start Bamford

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        This

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

      Starting both Wilson and Bamford ... neither team's defence is any good

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      i d start both actually

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

      Bamford

  7. Feed tha Sheep
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Any changes or transfers needed for next GW?0.2ITB

    McCarthy
    Stones Justin Dallas Coufal
    Salah KDB Bruno Soucek
    Kane Bamford

    Johnstone Adams Alioski Anguissa

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

      No transfer needed, consider playing Adam over Soucek?

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

    Lampard getting sacked? Who'd replace him?

    1. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Tuchel available

    2. Feed tha Sheep
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think they will stick with him until end of season

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

      Rooney

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

      Some Villas-Boas type of character. But Lampard won't get fired that soon.

    5. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Think he’ll get sacked if they don’t get top 4

    6. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      they may go back to Sarri?
      He wasn't sacked and got them CL spot and Europa league

    7. Freshy

      Avram Grant

        WTF... might as well get Ranieri if it's down memory lane...

    8. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      allegri

    9. El Presidente
      • 4 Years

    Zouma.Ziyech.Giroud.Bellerin
    1FT
    Which two to get rid first
    Thinking to bring Diaz/holding and saka to my team

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      They all need to go, probably Zouma and Ziyech first

      1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        yeah that my thought too

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

      I would keep Ziyech.Zouma and Giroud for me.

      1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        very lack striker option at the moment

    3. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ship the lot of them. Chelsea have a lot of soul searching to do.

  10. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Which 2 to play in gw20?

    Coufal
    Holding
    Mitchel
    Adams

    Cheers

    2. Pariße
      • 9 Years

      Adams and Holding are the best picks but this is conflicting.

    Chelsea have won ZERO games against the current PL top eight this season.

    They spent £222m this summer.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      superb 🙂

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      suboptimal

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

      Ouch, need another £222m next summer to correct

    4. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      That kind of consistency is gold dust in fpl.

  12. PrestigeWorldwidewidewide..…
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Well I was worried I would regret transferring in Antonio for this gameweek, but the real disappointment turned out to be Dallas > Zouma which is absolutely terrible considering Dallas' 2 pointer and the Chelsea double GW, could have gotten at least the 1 clean sheet v Fulham.

    So now the question is, what to do with Zouma? Also have Podence injured on my bench so I'll have to sort one out for free, if not both and take a hit.

    I'm still having a good week despite Zouma, but didn't expect to have this headache added to the equation moving into GW20 as he was a player I expected to hold on to for a time.

  13. tom2224
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Grealish > Maddison?

    1. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

      1. tom2224
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Now or wait till end of the GW?

        1. No Professionals
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Oh thought you were asking if Grealish was better than Maddison.

          I wouldn’t make that move.

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

      Maddison plays 70-ish min ... LEI often score last min goals. Grealish is key for AVL and with Barkley could be back soon I'll use FT for any other

      At best that's sideways at worst its a downgrade.

  14. Sheffield Wednesday

    Despite owning Zouma and not Stones, could this be the first time I break 100 in three seasons of FPL?

    85 (-4) with up to 11 to play, KdB(c)

    1. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Well that’s going to be a close one isn’t it.

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Could hit 150

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

      Should do. Even if everyone blanks 11x2 gets you over the line. Well done.

    4. PrestigeWorldwidewidewide..…
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      By virtue of simply playing 60 minutes your 11 players should easily get you past 100 Mr. Potato

    5. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 3 Years

      I'll just pop out to the hen house to count how many more chickens were laid overnight.

    6. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I hate to rain on your parade but I think 100 matters more in a regular GW and not using a chip or during a DGW when 100 or more should actually be the target. But well done on a big points haul nonetheless.

      1. Sheffield Wednesday
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        It's not an exceptional score this week - but I don't care, as long as I can finally break through that 100 point barrier for the first time!

        1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          rotate with cedric or just in bad form?

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

            For off the pitch reasons. Cedric displayed a worrisomely good performance though.

  16. Nedvěd11
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Oh lord...
    Falling over 40k places atm....from 80k to 120k...

    A) James for Cresswell
    B) Watkins for Firmino
    C) Both for -4

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

      It’s now that you want James. They are both simply awful ideas.

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years

      sorry which way do these transfers work ?

      1. Nedvěd11
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        James (WOL, BUR) v Cresswell (CRY, LIV, AVL) and with Coufal and Soucek already

        Firmino was a punt, and Watkins has BUR, SOU, AVL, WHU

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          very bad moves imo

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Strange transfers

      1. Nedvěd11
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Well, seen much more strangers things happening this season

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years

            Havent had one Chelsea since GW1, but agree.

            But Wolves are lacking in attack and Burnley aswell...
            Got burned by double up on Cress and Coufal this week.

              Got you, just be prepared it's a transfer waiting to happen. LEI MCI MUN have cheap options and with better fixtures. For consideration.

                Yeah,

                I am full with MCI, but thanks. You just put me off CHE 🙂

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

          Smith Rowe and Vardy. Got rid of Lewin as well, I unwisely kept him before DGW.

        2. Pariße
          • 9 Years

          huh and Vardy wouldn't even be worth that hit before 🙂

    Chelsea’s performances are shameful considering how much they have spent. Just look like a bunch of spineless mercenaries right now.

      C = Harvey?

      Newcastle are poor, but so are Leeds.

      Would go with the more in-form player on this occasion but honestly each one could potentially outscore the other.

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

        yes Harvey

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

        cheers.I am currently on Barnes because as you mentioned he is the player in form.

        1. Nedvěd11
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Barnes, LEI in good form

        Everton Leicester should be a cracking match

  21. Phil's Stamps
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    That Werner over Antonio punt worked out well, nice extra twist of the dagger with that offside goal at the end 🙁

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

      Wasn’t the time to punt. Let alone against someone so awful.

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

        That's just bs. He could've easily got 14 points and only played 37 mins over the course of 2 games. The fact that he was benched 2 games in a row was bad enough. And it definitely is the time to punt. Pereira, Maddison, Barnes, Antonio ... they were all punts.

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

          Maddison was a slight punt. Antonio not anywhere near a punt. Werner has been awful for so long I can’t remember.

        2. WE GO FOR IT
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          The fact that he played only 37 minutes is enough proof that he was a punt. Chelsea and him weren't in great form. Chelsea's front 3 was continuously chopping and changing. So, there was always risk of rotation.

          I do agree that depending on your rank, it could've been a time to punt. Some punts like Pereira and Maddison worked out really well. Even those who went with double Leicester defense have been rewarded.

    2. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He just looks awful. And as for havertz...

      Even pulisic looked lifeless.

      Strange times for Chelsea.

      1. seanie3
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        something has defo happened behind the scenes, top top players have gone backwards and ones that should kick on haven't.. wonder if lampard has caused a divide or rift amongst his players.. comes across very very arrogant.

        1. No Professionals
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I think there are too many players to build a stable side. You can rotate eventually, but not in the building stage.

          1. seanie3
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            the problem, I believe, is that lamps doesn't know his best 11 but also doesn't have enough experience to know what that best 11 is.. he chops and changes too many players and different systems in too such a short space of time. tweak one or two players here and there but you need to keep consistency with your starting 11 and not make 5 changes one game and then 4 another and setup 433 then 4231 etc..

          2. Fit_to_drop
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            I agree. They overbought the stars. Great clubs appoint great coaches to BUILD a team. Not raid the Bundesliga hoping it all falls together and they steam roll to a title. Needs to be earned.

    3. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      my punt was Vardy TC so...

      1. seanie3
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Vardy is sooo over rated, he is not the player or finisher he once was.. top picks from leicester now are barnes first and then maddison.. kane offers much better value at same price.

      Tierney seems like he’s on form. Aurier after Liverpool?

    Rival: Stones (C) to go

    Me: [23 Points Less] with Martinez, Cancelo, Robertson & KDB (C)

    Who wins?

    (I'm only posting because WTF but also fair dinkum!)

    1. BeWater

        • 6 Years

        Cheers both. I don't actually care about the outcome that much. If you go balls deep with a captaincy pick like that then fair play..

    3. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I’m impressed rival only has 1 player to go!

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

        We both have a non-captained Salah & Fernandes on top of the players mentioned, but just dropped them out for simplicity.

        Although, they did play BB (only Saka did anything) so the Stones captaincy was certainly inflating things.

        1. No Professionals
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Ok makes sense

    4. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years

      Unless Stones goes crazy again, you should win.

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

      There's been a press conference but no solid news on Covid players.

      Grealish and Watkins are fit. Beyond that I'd look at training pictures if you're that bothered.

  26. @fpl_phenom

    Salah still a hold? ... its a lot of money....

    1. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Moving from Salah to KDB for free when Liverpool have Spurs away and City have WBA away is going to be hard to resist. But need to wait until the end of the gameweek.

    2. STONEROSES
      • 10 Years

      Crossed my mind.. but I’m leading my ML so it’s probably a hold given his ownership

        1. Fit_to_drop
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          He will keep that place. He is one of the guys that has propelled LEI up the table. Rogers knows that. As a coach you back the guys that get it done. Or else you lose the dressing room.

      KDB

    5. WE GO FOR IT

      KdB probably.

  28. seanie3
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Lampard has to go, surely... no intensity, no style of play, no attacking threat, no defensive unit.. top managers have gone for less. Conte and Anceloti both won titles with Chelsea and still got fired.. who should replace him?

    1. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I don’t know the exact fees, but
      Werner 40m
      Havertz 70m
      Chilwell 50m
      Ziyech 30m
      Mendy 20m

      That is an insane amount in one window, and they are going backwards.

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        they had to be challenging this year with the level of investment... he literally was given everyone he wanted... this is well below par

      2. seanie3
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        you have to look at the coach for that.. lamps as much as a great player, is still learning his trade and unfortunatley is not cut out for the managers job.. let alone coach.. if anything top players like pulisic look worse this year than last so they are not moving forward in development and Jody Morris along with Lamps is not the answer

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      No he’ll get plenty of time.
