Aubameyang continues to defy Christmas rotation threat

1,820 Comments

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.5m) continues to defy the Christmas rotation as he starts his tenth Premier League match in a row against Brighton.

The Arsenal forward even played the full 90 minutes as the Gunners lost to Tottenham in the recent EFL Cup quarter-final.

Unai Emery has decided to go with the big guns up top again as Alexandre Lacazette (£9.5m) also earns a start.

Meanwhile, Lucas Torreira (£5.2m) returns to central midfield after earning a rest against Burnley, while Laurent Koscielny (£5.4m) gets back into the side alongside Sokratis Papastathopoulos (£5.1m).

Mathew Ryan (£4.5m) plays in goal with his Asian Cup departure with Australia looming large, while Shane Duffy (£4.6m) returns from a three-game ban to replace the suspended Lewis Dunk (£4.5m).

Jurgen Locadia (£5.3m) gets another start on the wing at Anthony Knockaert‘s (£5.4m) expense, with Glenn Murray (£6.5m) coming back in, as expected.

Brighton XI: Ryan, Montoya, Duffy, Balogun, Bernardo, March, Stephens, Propper, Locadia, Gross, Murray.

Arsenal XI: Leno, Kolasinac, Sokratis, Koscielny, Lichsteiner, Guendouzi, Xhaka, Torreira, Ozil, Lacazette, Aubameyang.

    So, Pogba looking amazing, and gotta get him in today before the price hike.
    Need to enable this with a 4.4 and below defender. Anyone worth it?
    Got WB, next GW looks especially important, as most my def play each other or a top 6 team.
