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 also have Snodgrass so would bench him (unless someone else gets injured during the break) and maybe even go to 3-5-2 from next GW on.

    What's the consensus on West Ham (Antonio in particular!)
    They have Palace (a), Sunderland (h), and Stoke (h) in the next 3 and I feel like it's mad to get rid of Antonio with that coming up, but structure wise he might be my fall man.

          He will either take Ighalo's place or Holebas's in midfield depending on formation. I suspect the latter as the manager has been saying his fitness needs to be up to speed and he needs to track back. Tough job that wide role in a 3-5-2...

        Pretty standard team so yes right now. Chances are you'll need a hit or have to play Capoue.

      From 51K to 27K in OR. But from 35 to 46pts back of ML leader who is in 347 in the world

      Sometimes just have to tip your hat.

          Why? Deeney looks epic and good for BPS too.

        Majority will probably go with Deeney. But, Tekkers for me!

        Flip a coin. I'd side with BPS machine Troy and save the money personally.
