The Dugout Discussion – Burnley vs Arsenal

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

    I'm in a bit of a pickle here : ideally I would save my FT this week and then do Antonio > Walcott and Benteke > Defoe.

    Problem is, I would have just enough money to do the moves, but I'm assuming that Walcott is going to rise over the international break.

    So my question is : do I risk injuries and take a hit to do the move or wait and give up the move for lack of funds?

    I wanna do Benteke > Costa at some point, so I'm thinking of doing Foster and Jaku to Pickford and Grant. Mane to Coutinho later and I'll be able to afford Benteke > Costa.

    Seriously contemplating Leroy Fer. Sounds insane, but think the Swans have been unfortunate up to this point, and as a cheapy midfielder, I even fancy them to snap up a goal or two against Arsenal next week.

    He's gone under the radar a little bit, but ends up in plenty of promising pitch positions. Swansea haven't been as bad as their pts total suggests.

      Couple of questions:

      1. Is it worth skimping in defence (well, not really skimping, but...) by getting Vertonghen over Walker/Rose or Kosc/Mustafi over Bellerin?
      2. Did anyone watch Southampton? Did Austin look like a threat?
      3. Marshall now nailed for Hull? Their fixtures look fantastic and I reckon he'll get lot of save points.
