The first Gameweek of the festive spell begins early, under the lights of the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal host Liverpool in one of the most anticipated fixtures of the season.

Certainly, based on previous meetings, our expectations are high, with Fantasy managers hoping for a goal-fest and points aplenty.

There’s a host of attacking players on show, with Mohamed Salah the key asset and headline act.

Fantasy Premier League’s most popular player is now part of 57.9% of squads and, having returned in nine of his last ten outings, will surely be fancied to inflict further damage on the Gunners. He produced a goal and an assist on his way to 11 points in the reverse fixture at Anfield.

Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino are also star turns who sparkled who both Gameweek 18. The pair arrive in north London on the back of double-figure scores with a goal and assist apiece in the 4-0 stroll at Bournemouth.

Sadio Mane completes the “fab four” attacking line-up for the visitors. Having been omitted from two of the last four teamsheets, the Senegalese is without a return since Gameweek 14.

Arsenal’s notable Fantasy assets are few and far between.

Indeed, one of their key figures is again on the bench tonight as concerns grow on the prospects of Sead Kolasinac. The Bosnian was in 863,000+ squads as recently as Gameweek 16. However, having sat out the last three outings, his stock and ownership is plummeting. FPL midfielder Ainsley Maitland-Niles is given the nod once again at left-back and will be tasked with containing Salah’s threat.

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

    Robertson or Joe Gomez?

    The former nailed on?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Yeah

    2. Butcher
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Brought in Roberston last night. Looks more threatening

    3. Roberto Baggio
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Jogo looks quite nailed

  2. Roberto Baggio
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    My team is in shambles . Pls help!

      Explain your understanding of the word "shambles"
      Looks fine to me

      1. Roberto Baggio
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Jones is a question mark , should I switch to Smalling ?

        Will Christensen lose his place to luiz ?

        I don’t have KDB

        1. Roberto Baggio
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 2 days ago

          And naughton .... manager just got sacked ! Gosh

        2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 days ago

          1. No I have smalling. Started last 11 games

          2. Unlikely as it stands. I have Christensen. Quite happy to keep

          3. KDB is not essential

          4. Naughton as your bench defender is ok. If he troubles you, transfer him out but he is decent value

          Definitely not a shambles

        This. Nowt to change there, you can’t have ‘em all.

      Sorry - you appear to have posted a team that isn't a shambles at all..

      What are your issues?

      So much you could do by selling Kane 🙂

      1. Roberto Baggio
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Thought of downgrade to Lukaku and spread the Fund across defence .

        Or maybe upgrade RLC.

        I want lanzini or arnautovic.

        But Kane dgw though ....

        1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 days ago

          Stop trying to have everyone.

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Yeah that team is such a mess, I would just delete it & start again next year. It could be worse though, look at the state of mine! What should I do?

      DDG
      Christensen, Mee, Ogbonna
      Salah, Haz, Sterling, Sané, Pogba
      Kane, Firmino

    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Which four ?
    A. Kdb Austin mee ogbonna
    B. Sterling Dcl jones alonso
    A would be 3-5-2
    B would be 4-5-1 with dcl on bench

    Anyone using free hit for dgw 22? Could take kane out spread funds then just use the chip to get 3 spurs 2 west ham?

    Dgw's next year we have bench boost and triple captain for?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Not interested
      Waiting for the fa cup qfinal week when only 8 or 10 teams play

  8. Roberto Baggio
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Triple cap Kane for dgw ?

    1. SiSenõr90
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Monitor kane performance for two more Gameweek then decide.

    2. mrpink32
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      It's a potential

      Trying to work out when best to use each chip. Guess if keeping kane through blank then prob no better time to use triple captain chip then gw 22
