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.

    Worth dropping either of Baines or Valencia for Vertonghen for -4? I'm assuming not.

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

      No

    2. Wurstmuncher
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'm considering it, want to get rid of Coleman and Valencia and bring in Vertonghen - always a gamble but spurs look far more likely than either to get cleanie against west brom than either man utd vs liverpool or Everton vs Man City next gw

  2. Champione

    Possible to make a Son/Walcott hot topic? Seems like lots of people are wondering about that choice - especially as Son has to make a long trip to play international games

    1. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Add Sterling to the mix too please.

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

        Sterling in different price bracket though. Personally I'm weighing up Sterling or Firmino

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

      Walcott

  3. Bubz

    What's going on with Barca and Real these days

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      The league is getting better.

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

      makes the league a lot more interesting though

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

        I'm sure the usual suspects will end up well ahead of 4th place in the end.

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

          yeah they probably will, but it seems like the other teams are able to give them a fight in some matches at least

  4. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Which do you prefer?

    A) Antonio Son Lukaku
    B) Sterling Son Benteke (-4)

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Just realise Son cancels himself out, fail.

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

        realised*

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

      I would rather have Antonio + Lukaku than Sterling + Benteke

    3. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Comes down to Son vs Son. Depends which one you prefer

  5. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    5th mid and 3rd forward conundrum. Help.

    A) 4.4m+Benteke
    B) Snodgrass+Austin(selection headache)

    WC active.

    Marshall Jakupovic
    Kone Holebas Smith Pieters Amat
    Sanchez Firmino Son Sterling _______
    Aguero Lukaku _______

    Thoughts?

    Thanks.

    1. Rich_20
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      B. Just in case you have issues with injuries. Then again you are on a wildcard so it doesn't matter.

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Always convenient to have a good back up.

        But is there a big difference between Austin and Benteke?

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      A for me

    3. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Snodgrass & Austin imo.

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Not Austin if you read the Soton player ratings on readsouthampton.com/

    4. NestorC
      • 9 Years

      B

      1. EmreCan Hustle

        Thanks everyone.

    5. Dark_Mata
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      B

    6. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Deeney?

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Austin and Benteke over Deeney for me.

    7. ramunas
      • 10 Years

      A with Hojberg

  6. Shack
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Think of getting in Walcott (have Sanchez) or Son. I have my eye on Pieters as the enabler, which gives my 0.1 it's for Wally and 0.2 it's for Son.
    A few questions off the back of that;
    A: Get in Wally or Son
    B: Pieters a good option or anything else in 4.5 bracket (have Holobas)
    C: Make the transfers tonight (2FTs) or take the price hike and hope the next increase will not happen until the internationals have passed through.
    Cheers!!

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      A) Son
      B) no idea
      C) wait

    2. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Walcott out of those. Consider Francis as 4.5m Def. I would wait for IT Break.

    3. Dark_Mata
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      If Sanchez then Son

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

    Whats up with Shaw? Worth keeping or better to get an ARS def for him

    1. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Injured and possibly now out of favour. I'm shipping

      1. Dark_Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        No way he's out of favour. Injured but he'all be back

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

          No way? How can you be so sure when Mourinho has been openly critical and Blind has performed well?

  8. NestorC

    I need help

    Williams, Valencia and Masuaku
    TO
    Kosc, Walk and Holebas/Smith

    2. Rich_20
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No not of defenders.

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

        I see it but if price rise, and it will, I cant afford it later and my Def line sucks. Evans and Amat with those 3

      No

      1. NestorC

      Must be an ironic feeling for you with the City result today. Fair play on your gameweek though, great score!

    Just saw article about Pickford injury. Just reading it, it sounds like an "international injury". Think he'll be fine

      Classic

  15. umerlfc
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    As a non-Arsenal owner, who out of Sanchez and Walcott should I focus to get? Wouldn't Sanchez returning a day before the Swansea match be a risk, as he played less minutes last time?

  16. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Got a bit of a headache with my current squad. Don't know whether I should upgrade Antonio or sort out my defence that only seems capable of 2's week in week out. Any suggestions?

    Heaton
    Valencia McAuley Baines
    Chadli Capoue Sterling Sanchez
    Kun Lukaku Austin

    (Foster Antonio Amat Souare)

    WBA's fixtures look awful from here on out so I'm thinking either McAuley > Koscielny or Baines to Kosc to save money. Or Antonio > Walcott/Son/Firmino???

  17. I Member
    • 10 Years

    Who is more nailed; Pieters or Cameron?

    And did Cameron play midfield today?

  18. Iwantmorepointsthanks
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Which would you rather have:

    A)
    Alexis Sterling FIRMINO SON (Cap)
    Kun Lukaku DEENEY

    B)
    Alexis Sterling SON Cap (4.4)
    Kun Lukaku COSTA

    Thanks

    1. NestorC
      • 9 Years

      A since capoue is doing nothing now

      1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
        • 12 Years

  20. Who Ate All Depays?
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Pickford
    Walker / Coleman / Holebas
    Sanchez / Sterling / Firmino / Antonio
    Aguero / Lukaku / Deeney
    (Jaku / Capoue / Robertson / Amat)

    Is it worth doing Antonio & Capoue -> Son & Fletcher for free.tonight before Son's price rises?

  21. La Roja

      omfg...

  25. deathcabofdevil

    How does this WC team sound to you :

    Courtois -- Pickford

    Koscielny -- Morgan -- Stones -- Holebas -- Amat

    Sanchez -- Sterling -- Walcott -- Son -- Barry

    Costa -- Deeney -- Lukaku

    0.0 ITB. Does this look like a balanced team ?

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Kun.. start all over again

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

        Too expensive for my taste. I believe the money I can save from avoiding him will help me get a more balanced team and cover up his points. Plus I think I have a couple of big-hitters in Sanchez and Sterling.

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

          Compare Sterling to Aguero at your peril

    2. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not a fan of Stones and Morgan but overall very good team!

    3. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Oh and maybe Lloris instead of Courtois

      1. Captain Warlock
        • 9 Years

        I've done the same .. Good fixtures on all set peices and has a goal in him what's not to like

  27. Dušan Citizen

    Which one:

    A. Antonio ➡️ Wallcott & Williams ➡️ Robertson
    B. Antonio ➡️ Lallana & Jaku ➡️ Grant
    C. Antonio ➡️
    D. None

    Thanks

  29. ameenkw

    Foster / Jaku
    Valencia / Stones / Amat / Friend / Souare
    Hazard / Firmino / Antonio / Capoue / De Roon
    Aguero / Ibra / Lukaku
    2 FT & 0.0 ITB

    I'm planning:
    Ibra + Hazard + Souare -> Deeney + Sanchez + Koscielny (-4 & 1.5 ITB) ..
    Any other suggestions??
