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

    My 2 free transfers are burning a hole in my pocket.

    Think I want Deeney and Son in. Any ideas how to improve?

    Foster / Pickford
    Walker. Williams. Holebas. Amat. Kelly.
    Sanchez. Firmino. Sterling. Antonio. Capoue
    Aguero. Lukaku. Rashford.

      Do it. Lpool is nowhere near cs. WHU have internal problems, huge problems. I dont think that time can change that. Look at United and their assets. We are nowhere near them but they are still top 4 contenders. This is just dont feel right to have them fpl wise. For me it's the same story with West Ham, Lpool def or WBA attack.

      Heh was just about to post something similiar.

      I already have Sanchez, so went with Son. Statisically, Walcott isn't a millions miles from Son and obviously if he plays better against weaker opponents then his stats will improve but I decided to spread the risk as oppose to doubling up.

      Hey HVT! Hope you're doing well this year (sure you're absolutely smashing it as usual!)

      I reckon A is your answer; better players in defence (tried to look at your team but couldn't find a link so I couldn't tailor my reply a bit, so sorry if you have these) for 5.5-6 for upcoming fixtures, like Vertonghen (if you just have 5.5) / Walker / Mustafi/Kosc / Bellerin, so I'd say he's top to go, though tbh I try to keep defence changes to a minimum.

      Rashford (easy swap to Deeney) is second; Antonio is more of a watch and wait for me.

    Hey all! 2FT advice please, wana keep my bandwagon rolling on 🙂

    Team is
    Pickford / Jaku
    Williams Walker Lovren Amat 3.9
    Sanchez Capoue Firmino Antonio Fletch
    Kun Kaku Costa
    0.6itb / 2FT.

    Thinking I need an Arsenal defender, and I think it'll have to be Antonio who goes to finance it.

    How does this look:
    Lovren ---> Bellerin
    Antonio ---> Snodgrass (fixtures good)

    Can't see any other midfielder (King? Wilshere!?) in the sub 6.2 category - even if I go Kosc/Mustafi instead of Bellerin that only gives me 6.6/7 which doesn't get me anything either.

    Those are the right moves *after internationals*, right?
