Dugout Discussion – Arsenal vs Leicester

The 2017/18 season gets underway this evening as Arsenal entertain Leicester City at the Emirates Stadium.

With last season’s top scoring Fantasy Premier League (FPL) player Alexis Sanchez stuck on the sidelines through injury, the stage is set for new arrival Alexandre Lacazette to make an immediate impact.

Boasting an FPL ownership of 17%, he’s is the most popular Arsenal player after netting 28 times in Ligue 1 for Lyon last season.

Encouragingly for the hosts, Lacazette scored six goals in his last four opening day appearances in the French top division.

Fellow new arrival Sead Kolasinac also makes his Premier League bow tonight – he’s owned by 12% on the back of Sunday’s Community Shield strike against Chelsea.

With clashes against Man United, Chelsea and Liverpool also to follow in the first six Gameweeks, Leicester’s key assets have been mainly overlooked.

Only 4% have taken a punt on Jamie Vardy, who averaged a healthy seven points per appearance under Craig Shakespeare in the latter stages of 2016/17.

The Foxes also face promoted pair Brighton and Huddersfield over that period, though, affording us a chance to scout Vardy and new strike partner Kelechi Iheanacho as potential differentials up top.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Did anyone see the touch Lacazette too just before a Kola got the ball for Welbz goal... unbelievably good, he just lost his balance

    Meh. You want clean sheets as your bread and butter from any defender, let alone for 6.0.

    Conceded 2 goals in the first 45 mins. At home. Against LEICESTER.

    Caution.

      No, you want clean sheets plus attacking potential.

      I guess you don't have Kolasinac hence your dismissal of his FPL potential.

          Ideally, both.

          But even the best defences will usually only keep about 15 CS a season. For 6m you want CS and baps/assists.

          I do, anyway.
