Gameweek 7 comes to its conclusion as Burnley welcome Arsenal to Turf Moor.

The Gunners roll up on the back of four straight league wins, with Alexis Sanchez and Theo Walcott both in fine recent form.

The Chilean teed up Walcott’s pair of strikes in the midweek Champions League win over FC Basel and with three double-figure hauls in four, carries the armband hopes of many at Turf Moor.

Walcott has now notched five times in seven across all competitions and has risen to 6% ownership in Fantasy Premier League.

Another big performance today would surely kick start a bandwagon over the international break, yet Arsene Wenger’s side face an obstinate Clarets rearguard that has conceded just five goals in the previous 17 league matches in front of their own supporters.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Stop moaning and blaming it on luck.

      You made a bad decision this week to bin Payet for a hit instead of Shaw who was a doubt.

      Happens with everyone here.

  3. Slam
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Hmm... Son, Sterling or Walcott?

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      or lallana.

      so many options to sell antonio to

      1. Slam
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Selling Antonio?
        Still think it's too early personally.

        Nothing else to use your FTs on?

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Son. Fixtures wise tho, Walcott.

      1. Slam
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        What happens when Kane comes back, Son may lose his spot yeah?

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Well if he keeps performing this well, I don't see why he'll be dropped. And Kane's return date is still unknown, so this shouldn't be a worry.

    3. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Son looked superb today plus playing OOP. Could be FPL gold. WBA up next who can't keep cleanies

      1. JIM BOB
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I just worry that longer term he'll get rotated

        Alli was great today

        1. Danstoke82
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Can't see Son being dropped at present given his form

  4. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Sanchez will score. We'll be seeing an OMG from Bemba soon.

    1. Slam
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I bet you he won't.

  5. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Son vs Walcott is gonna be tough to decide.

    1. MrMaverick
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I have Walcott atm, not in a rush to get rid

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Walcott

    3. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Walcott has the fixtures.

      But Son in better form send playing as striker and maybe on pens.

      Real toughie.

  6. Jamie_GAWA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Best 5m defender that isn't PVA?

    1. Bushido
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Morgan

  7. itwaswritten
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Fffffff.

    Not everyone now picking Son :/

  8. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Ibra + Antonio > Lukaku and Son done.

    Had enough of thinking about it and pulled trigger.

    Fully expect Ibra to start smashing it again now!

    1. itwaswritten
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Ibra isn't starting anything. Some goals and everyone suddenly have him as a essential. He BEEN trash and overrated.

      1. itwaswritten
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Glad you finally saw the light and got rid of him 🙂

        1. Danstoke82
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          It was difficult but with his price rapidly dropping I took the same stance I did with Hazard and got rid.

    2. Slam
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      If he does, he does.
      He's pissed me off enough already with his almost-goals.

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Agree with u both.

        I didn't start with him because of his overrated-mess but got burned by his early hauls.

        Brought him in and all I got was a sole goal against City.

        Pointless transfer in especially at his vastly overrated price.

        Time to be trolled now by the king of FPL trolls...

  9. Bushido
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I went for Ali over Son, hopefully it pays off over the coming weeks.

    1. itwaswritten
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Are you English? Because I see no other answer to why someone would be Alli over Son.

      1. Bushido
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I'm British

      9 years, 3 months ago

      He is the best player South Korea has so yes!

  12. JIM BOB
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Best long term combo?

    A.) 4.5 GK, Mahrez, Slimani
    B.) De Gea, Alli, Slimani
    C.) De Gea, Mahrez, Wilson

    It's for a draft league

  13. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Would you do it ?

    Antonio Snodgrass --> Son Theo for 2ft (0.1 itb)

    1. JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'd hold Antonio but I seem to be in the minority on here

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not yet.

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        will have exact cash after son rise tonight

        if theo rises or antonio fall id be priced out of the move

    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Does Son play International football ?

    1. Bushido
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah

  20. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I missed the entire first half.
    Walcott look threatening at all?

    1. jurgenklopp.8
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      1 shot off target i think

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Wouldn't mind him in my team.

  21. Kante Be Bothered
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Would you rather do Shaw to Rose for free or Redmond to Son for a -4? Already have Walker

  22. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Chances of Son being benched in gw 8?

    Is he going to travel to South Korea?

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Apparently he has his last game on 11/10 in Iran

  23. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Is Williams doing well in the baps like he did last season for Swansea?

    As in, when Everton keep a clean sheet does Williams' stats look like he may often be in the bonus points quite often?

    I have both he and Baines and assuming Baines is fit, I'm not sure who to shift next GW for Bellerin.

  24. Jamie_GAWA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    2 quick questions

    Morgan or Fuchs?

    Davies or Robertson?

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Fuchs and Davies. More chance of bonus and attacking points.

      1. itwaswritten
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        It doesn't go higher than 4.

  30. Jamie_GAWA

    Son plays for his country on Monday and plays for Spurs on the Saturday, should be fine
