Can Aubameyang prove a worthy alternative premium FPL midfielder?

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang‘s (£11.3m) recent form and upcoming fixtures have put him on the Fantasy Premier League radar for the end of the 2020/21 season.

Between Gameweeks 27 and 38, Arsenal face just three matches against the current top six and their number 14 has double-digit hauls in two of his last three 90-minute league outings.

Aubameyang was a commonly-owned asset at the start of the campaign but some shaky form and poor performances saw Fantasy managers largely replace him with a Manchester City midfielder or Bruno Fernandes (£11.6m).

With two blanks in a row and a tough run of fixtures coming up, many are wavering on the Manchester United man while the Citizens’ midfield has been a rotation minefield of late. Could now be the time to consider Aubameyang once again?

With Arsenal featuring in Blank Gameweek 29, we have taken a comprehensive look at the data from our Premium Members Area to compare the two players, and other big budget options in midfield.

    I have Sterling is it worth a -4 to get KDB in for captain?

      I’m sure I read somewhere KDB 67 shots and only 1 goal from open play this season.. apologies if I’m wrong as it’s nothing intentional but that put me off. I’d captain Sterling if I had him and go for it personally.

    Friends, a little help please?

    Martínez / Pope
    Dias / Stones / Cresswell / Digne /  Dallas
    Salah / Bruno / Gündogan / Raphinha / Soucek
    Kane / DCL / Watkins

    A. Bruno to Son
    B. DCL to Antonio
    C. Both for a hit
    D. Stones out, Bruno to KDB for a hit
    E. Hold

    Leaning towards A, particualrly due to blank GW29, but feels a bit wrong to ditch the highest-scoring player in the game...

    I know you can’t second guess Pep but it’s obvious this is how he’ll line up against Utd. At Southampton I’d expect Mahrez to come in for either Sterling / Foden and Jesus to return up top with one of Bernardo / KDB dropping out. Laporte will come in for Stones and Walker for Cancelo / Zinchenko
