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

1,219 Comments
Share

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.

    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.

        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.

          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

            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

          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.

            Is this season an anomaly? Or is it just when the stars align for you you think it's skill?

          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.

      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!

      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.

        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.

          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.

            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.

              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..

            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.

          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.

            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.

                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.

          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?

            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.

              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
