Next this Saturday, we catch up on the member’s area statistics over the last three rounds of fixtures with our usual post-Gameweek article.

We assess the lay of the land at Arsenal as a result of Olivier Giroud’s first-team return before analysing Tottenham’s man of the moment and Manchester United’s pair of form players.

West Ham and Everton also play a part in our thinking ahead of some fine upcoming fixtures.

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

      anything to get Holebas out

      1. KUNingas
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 21 days ago

        Not so bad next fixture.. Maybe Holebas -> Chambers then

    Are the Arsenal big guns on the bench?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 21 days ago

      Yep.

      Welbeck and Jenko. 😎

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 21 days ago

      Welbeck

      1. Jethrik

  4. Davido989

    Mustafi poor again. Shock.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 21 days ago

      Sakho. Name your price. 😉

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 21 days ago

        Don't do this to me Wilsh. 😆

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 21 days ago

          I'd buy him, bench him for every game, but bring him on for when we get a penalty against Liverpool.

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 21 days ago

      Arsenals summer signings have all turned out to be very average

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 21 days ago

        I've been surprised at how uninspiring Xhaka has been. He was fantastic in the Bulli, but his lack of discipline doesn't come as a shock. Perhaps he needs time, but doesn't strike me as one who is shy to get on the ball. Who knows.

  5. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 21 days ago

    Arsenal are much better with Sanchez upfront. Wont be long before Giroud is being used as a super-sub again

    1. The Hindu Monkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 21 days ago

      This is true

      But it's also wenger. Who is an idiot.

      1. Aguerrrooooooo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 21 days ago

        Yeah. A total idiot that guy..

        1. The Hindu Monkey
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 21 days ago

          He was smart ten years ago. Game has moved on, he hasn't. Arsenal not winning, or really coming close to winning, a title since then is a scandal when you consider their squad compared to some that have won it.

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 21 days ago

      How is it Giroud's fault for them conceding? 😉

      Tbf they look better with Alexis up top. But without Giroud up top, they could have potentially dropped 2 points vs WBA, 2 to Palace and lost to Bournemouth.

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 21 days ago

        Cant really say that. He just makes the team worse.

        He 'earns us points' because he breaks down every other attack other than what's hoofed into him.

      2. The Hindu Monkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 21 days ago

        Not really.

        A. He could have come on for last 20 minutes and did exactly what he did.
        B. With Sanchez up front they probably wouldn't have been in that position to begin with.

    3. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 21 days ago

      i think wenger prefers alexis too

    4. Jethrik
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 21 days ago

      Anyone could score playing up front in an Arsenal team. Sanchez's accuracy is very poor.

  6. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 21 days ago

    I watched Wenger speak before the game and he said Sanchez was on the edge
    I wonder did he mean mentally or physically?

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 21 days ago

      Of glory

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 21 days ago

      Physically

    3. Jethrik
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 21 days ago

      More likely in the gym or the hairdressers.

  7. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 21 days ago

    For those who can't tell, the Championship team is the one playing better football.

  8. Optimus.
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 21 days ago

    A loss here to Preston should help with the Sanchez contract negotiations

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 21 days ago

      He's going to sign for Preston?

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 21 days ago

        West Ham apparently

        1. Optimus.
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 21 days ago

          West Ham offering Carroll in exchange for Sanchez plus cash

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 21 days ago

      How come? You think he won't sign now?

      1. Optimus.
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 21 days ago

        I don't think he will sign

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 21 days ago

          🙁

  9. Numb
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 21 days ago

    Alli's numbers are a bit concerning.

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 21 days ago

      Apart from all the goals!

      1. A.T
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 21 days ago

        Lol

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 21 days ago

          Can he keep up a 100% conversion rate? Maybe he's very clinical!

          1. Epic Fail
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 21 days ago

            Capoue v2.0

            1. Numb
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 21 days ago

              I mean, he's better than that, but yeah

          2. A.T
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 21 days ago

            He's playing like a second striker now so I don't see why not. Not 2 goals a game though obv.

    2. Sylas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 21 days ago

      Okay!

    3. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 21 days ago

      Apart from his goals (which are very important) his overall performances haven't been all that great.

      Press getting carried away as per the norm

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 21 days ago

        I think it was ridiculous that he got the man of the match in the last game. Scoring 2 goals doesn't mean you were the best player on the pitch. Granted scoring is very important, but they were placed on his head by Eriksen. Other than scoring he did nothing.

        1. The Hindu Monkey
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 21 days ago

          This.

          Toby was utterly immense. Keeping out a sides attack for virtually entire game who had won 13 games in a row.

          Good headers from
          Ali but Toby deserved the bubbles.

        2. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 21 days ago

          Exactly

          Wanyama & Eriksen ran the midfield against Chelsea

        3. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 21 days ago

          Non-owner.

          1. Epic Fail
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 21 days ago

            I don't own Wanyama either, and he should have been up there for MOTM 😉

          Ya i thought Eriksen should have got it too he was pulling the strings from midfield very impressive once again

        1. The Hindu Monkey

      What's wrong with Rondon? Has amazing fixtures after spurs match.

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 21 days ago

        Double WBA attack though? (Everyone has Phillips now)

        1. Speédy
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 21 days ago

          triple wba.have brunt and phillips already

        2. The Hindu Monkey
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 21 days ago

          I don't. Brunt and Rondon for me. Phillip won't carry on scoring surely. Want Stanilas as my cheap mid. Although I'm playing 3 5 2 at the moment and rotating Rondon and Gray.

    4. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 21 days ago

      i like the fixtures after city,and will never captain him,so owning him should not be a problem

      You do know this isn't a league game don't you...

      1. :
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 21 days ago

        In fairness, he is bloody awful but he'll probably get the perfect hat-trick against Swansea. One off the left knee, one off the right knee and the other off his arse.

        1. The Hindu Monkey
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 21 days ago

          He's certainly lucky.

          In fairness he's a very good striker. Just not a great one. If he played for a mid table team he'd be 7.5 fantasy gold...

          1. Toure The Route
            • 9 Years

            Instead he s an 8.6 dilemma to crack your head about

  15. VFORVANDETA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 21 days ago

    Play Heaton(Sou) or Grant(Sun)?

    1. The Hindu Monkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 21 days ago

      Heaton

    2. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 21 days ago

      50/50 but Heaton at home Vs a poor Soton side right now over grant away to Defoe.

  16. Phil Dagger ⭐
    • 9 Years

    so close to 2-0

  17. Optimus.

      Not taking him out until after next two. He'll be on his after that having served me well.

        I initially thought Cahill was the most likely to lose out. Now it seems Alonso is.

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 21 days ago

          Chelsea won 13 in a row

            Some of those games were close. I havent seen much of them but has Alonso been good recently?

            1. Wilshere Knowledge
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 21 days ago

              Alonso has never been good. Can't defend, cant shoot, cant cross.

    4. Swanremainsthesame
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 21 days ago

      Or keeps the bench warm at Chelsea.

    5. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 21 days ago

      Ake is better that Alonso. I fancy the latter will be dropped.

      a Chelsea defender who plays at 4.4 could be the stuff of dreams

      no point recalling him otherwise

          and do you want to sacrifice one of your 3 Chelsea players for a rotation risk?

          This. No chance of playing. Ever. Terry doesn't even get a game.

          Conte has no need to rotate ever. Stupid. They have two back up centre backs already? Very odd.

          Ake supposedly brought back to provide cover or play as left wingback

    The thing about Arsenal is they always try and walk it in.

      Maybe they should take up the walking football game for old people

    If there was a Twatoftheweek award, would anyone beat Giroud's celebration v Bournemouth when they had time to win it? Total egomaniac

      It was so cringe, if it was the winner he had scored I'd have let him off

      I did lol at his ridiculous celebration.. It was as if he had just got the winner in a champs league final.. While sanchez frantically tried to get ball back, different mentality altogether.

    What happens if Ake goes back to Chelsea and you already have three Chelsea players? Not allowed 4 from same club right?

      Next transfer = only 3

        out of interest , what happens if you dont. Are you disqualified.

          You won't be able to make any transfers

          You can't make a transfer otherwise and can stick to 4.

    2. The Enlightener

      You can play'em all as is. But next time you want to make a transfer, you gotta get one of them outta there.

        As a Utd fan it still hurts but it's bloody great to see him back

      He will be like a new signing

      1. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 21 days ago

        He is like a new signing every 6 months.

  26. Wilshere Knowledge

    Iwobi looks good at least.

    I don't think Gabriel can afford to be losing any more brain cells.

    Anyone interested in 8.5 Michy he goes to to Swansea on loan (with Llorente going the other way)

      Bad fixtures, bad team.

    2. KUNingas

      Im not. If he was 6.0, then I would consider

    3. F4L

      Siggi is a quality player, yet gets poor returns. Would be the same for Bats

      You seem to have low team value if I'm not wrong .
      Doesn't look like a viable 4-4-2 or a 3-5-2 or a 3-4-3 .
      Which is it ??

    2. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 21 days ago

      Guessing it's a 4-4-2 but is ake really the fourth defender material in a 4-4-2 with Amat as your fifth ?
