The first of two Sunday fixtures gets underway at 2.15pm as Arsenal welcome Southampton to the Emirates Stadium.

After Harry Kane and Romelu Lukaku failed to pick up the points at Stoke yesterday, all eyes turn to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The fourth top captain pick for the Gameweek with 7.9% backing, he was handed the armband by 56 of the top 100 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers.

As expected, however, Arsene Wenger has rotated heavily ahead of Thursday’s Europa League return to CSKA Moscow.

Snapped up by 70,000+ managers for Gameweek 33, Aaron Ramsey is rested for the third time in the last four league fixtures.

Laurent Koscielny also misses out altogether, while the likes of Mesut Ozil, Alexandre Lacazette and Nacho Monreal are named among the substitutes.

For the Saints, Charlie Austin drops to the bench as Mark Hughes hands Shane Long the lone striker role.

The visitors look to be lining up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, affording us a final chance to scout for options ahead of their Double Gameweek 34 against Chelsea and Leicester.

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

  5. Salarrivederci

    I changed my question.
    Who's got more rotation danger? sign 2

    A) A.Sanchez
    B) Pogba

    Not looking forward to owning Cedric during this DGW, this defence is getting pummeled by Danny Welbeck lol

    1. BIGREDDOG
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      quintessential humble brag

    2. Reuser
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I'm actually thinking of bringing him in on my FH34.

      Probably few defensive returns but attacking potential.

  8. Witty Pun: Not good at this…

    A comedy of errors

    1. Fred54

      Your WC that bad too?

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…

        Pretty much

      Good name for a play that

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Surprised it hasn't been used yet...

  9. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Auba actually now a captain fail!

    1. Viper
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      No.

    2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Not when all the other captains scored below 2

    3. Homo Neanderthalensis
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Not really. Who has Iwobi or welbeck? And who out of that subset of people would be bold enough to captain them?

      And who out of the main captain choices for this week got more than Aubameyang? Nobody.

      Put your tampon back in pal

    2. FISSH

    3. BIGREDDOG
      • 8 Years

      Got to be Barnes I think

    4. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Austin always has been

      1. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        will he play both?

  17. Point-one short
    • 9 Years

    Cmon Wellbeck, get in a fight with Cedric.

    1. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Cmon Cedric, Welbeck just laughed and called you a dwarf

  18. Ninja Fury

  19. Butcher
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Cup opponent of 32 points with Arnie and Christiensen (I am lucky he isnt playing) to go.

    I am on 20 points with Willian and Alonso to go.

    Need a clean sheet and a Willian goal with 2 bonus points please

  20. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    A 6 pointer from Auba is really disappointing. I really don’t understand why Wenger wouldn’t give him 90 minutes regardless.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      This

  21. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Aubo has lost his bap

  22. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Welbeck will be on the plane to Russia

  23. pundit of punts
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Kane captain over Auba just cost me 5 points then. I'll take that.

    1. Stoic
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      You have to

    2. Vlad Tepes
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      You mean 10 if you can count

      1. mir
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        He has Auba.

      2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Count a little yourself
        (K)ane 2 + Auba 6 = 8
        Kane 1 + (A)uba 12 = 13

      3. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 14 Years

        Nope he doesn't.... difference is 5

        5* OOOOps

    4. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Kane(c) + Auba = 2 + 6 = 7
      Kane + Auba(c) = 1 + 12 = 13

      6 pts?

      1. BIGREDDOG
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        read that one again XD I did the same

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        2 + 6 = 7?

    5. Mikeharbrw
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Kane 1 x 2 = 2
      Auba 6 x 2 = 12

      12-2 = 10

      Dats quick mafs

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights

  24. Dacra
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on best moves here?

    DDG - Ryan
    Alonso - Monreal - Lowton - Morgan - Smalling
    Son - Willian - Mahrez - Gross - Salah
    Barnes - Vardy - Lukaku

    2xft
    0.9itb

    Considering Salah + Monreal to Hazard (c) + Vertonghen for double 34, is that crazy?

    Chasing in league and lying around 90k rank, differential haz c seems like it could work or go badly wrong..

    Could just get Alli or Eriksen instead?

  25. money face bandwagon
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    As hazard(c) I am feeling confident

  26. Sailboats
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Need a Cedric or Iwobi red card asap

  27. Magic Bean
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Cmon Alonso!

  28. Desperately Seeking Dusan
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Cédric is such a frustrating player for me. When I play him he does nothing, when benched or transferred out he seems to return, even in defeats. Did nothing against a weak team last week and now he’s 3rd bench gets two assists. Every season the same for me with him.

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      He ruined the 1st half of my season

  29. jonny77
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    could do with west ham winning 1-0 with an arnie goal later

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      As an Alonso owner I am genuinely expecting Arnie to do well.

  30. Ask Yourself
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Need willy and Alonso to smash it then i’ll Be very happy

    1. Ask Yourself

      Nice

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years

      The way this gw has gone, I expect them to fight each other and both sent off.
      Owner of both.

        🙁 nice double next week to look forward to
