After Fraser Forster’s penalty stop helped Southampton secure a goalless draw at Anfield earlier this afternoon, we now turn our attentions to the Emirates as Arsenal entertain Man United in a 4.00pm kick-off.

All eyes are on Alexis Sanchez in the first match of the Gunners’ Double Gameweek 36.

Snapped up by over 152,00 FPL managers prior to Friday’s deadline, the Chilean is the most captained player for the Gameweek, with 11.2% of FPL managers handing him the armband.

Yet while Sanchez has mustered just one goal in his previous six appearances, Mesut Ozil approaches the Double as the Gunners’ form player, with two goals and a pair of assists over the same period.

Meanwhile, the likes of Nacho Monreal, Petr Cech and Laurent Koscielny were subject to heavy investment last week, with all earning over 45,000 transfers in for Arsenal’s pair of fixtures.

But Gabriel’s 51,000+ new owners are left frustrated – he drops to the bench after a run of five successive Gameweek starts.

For United, Jose Mourinho’s teamsheet clearly has one eye on Thursday’s Europa League clash against Celta Vigo.

The likes of Antonio Valencia, Eric Bailly and Marcus Rashford are all amongst the Red Devils’ subs, boosting the home side’s prospects of FPL points at both ends of the pitch.

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

    Celebrating a goal like that, as if you meant it, is like a tennis player celebrating a winning shot that hits the net.

      Tennis players win 100 points on average each game

      Goals are scored two or 3 times in average

    2. Bazzalona
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Hahaha. How dare we sell a player who's not good enough.
      Which he wasn't. And isn't.

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I don't think you guys are in the position to deem what's "good enough"

        1. Bazzalona
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Thats irrelevant. If you don't see a player as good enough you sell him. Far far better players than Wellbeck have been and will be sold for that reason.
          Glad he got a good move to another big club as I like the lad, but it doesn't alter the fact he's not top quality.
