Aubameyang bounces back but misses out on bonus

Arsenal bounced back immediately from their humiliating defeat at Liverpool on New Year’s Day.

The Gunners recorded a big 4-1 win over Fulham with attacking returns from several Fantasy Premier League usuals.

That game is the subject of our latest Scout Notes article.

Arsenal 4-1 Fulham

Goals: Granit Xhaka (£5.3m), Alexandre Lacazette (£9.4m), Aaron Ramsey (£7.2m), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.4m) | Aboubakar Kamara (£4.4m)

Assists: Alex Iwobi (£5.4m), Sead Kolasinac (£4.9m), Aubameyang, Sokratis Papastathopoulos (£5.1m) | Ryan Sessegnon (£6.0m)

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.4m) bounced back to form as Arsenal were deserved 4-1 winners over Fulham on New Year’s Day. It took some time for the forward to get his returns but as the game’s top shooter in the penalty box, and the player with the most touches there, it was fitting that he ended up on the scoresheet. It was the type of performance that his owners would have wanted after his blank at Anfield and with West Ham his next opponents. His goal and assist gave Aubameyang a nine-point haul, which most of those who captained him would probably be happy with. However, it was another match where the former Borussia Dortmund man missed close-range chances that he really should have buried, just two of his six shots were on target in the end. These spurned opportunities appear to have cost Aubameyang a shot at any bonus points.

Alexandre Lacazette (£9.4m) got his first goal since the Gameweek 14 win over Tottenham, but once again was unable to complete the outing. The Frenchman also deserved to get attacking returns as Aubameyang was the only player at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday afternoon who had more touches in the box or more shots there than Lacazette. However, his struggles to live up to his price-tag continued as he went a 13th consecutive Gameweek without double-digit returns. While he has been relatively consistent in that time, averaging 3.8 points per appearance, it’s just not quite good enough to be forking out over £9m for, especially if he is not completing games he starts. That is something some Arsenal fans are a little frustrated by, as they booed his substitution against Fulham on Tuesday.

“I understand the supporters, but I need to do my work. Tactically we are thinking we need to change for more balance. We know Seri well, we need a player close to him, not let him play with the ball too easily. But for me today Lacazette helped us.” – Unai Emery

Perhaps offering a value route into Arsenal’s attack is midfielder Alex Iwobi (£5.4m). His assist for Granit Xhaka‘s (£5.3m) opening goal was his third attacking return in four Gameweeks. He is another of Emery’s charges who rarely completes full 90-minute spells in the Premier League (his full outing in Gameweek 20 the first since Gameweek 10), but at the cheaper price that is slightly more bearable. The Nigerian has started 10 of Arsenal’s last 15 Premier League matches and his recent form may help him add to that stability in 2019.

The only Arsenal player to create more chances than Iwobi against Fulham was Sead Kolasinac (£4.9m), who also chalked up his fourth assist of the campaign in Gameweek 21. However, his appeal continues to be dented by Arsenal’s inability to keep clean sheets, even in favourable home matches. They have just one at the Emirates Stadium since Gameweek 8, with Aboubakar Kamara (£4.4m) pouncing on the back-post to convert Ryan Sessegnon‘s (£6.0m) second-half cross. The English midfielder was actually unfortunate not to have two goals to his name already by that point as he missed golden opportunities early in the game. It says a lot about Arsenal’s ability to control and defend that their opening goal arguably came against the run of play. The protection of the benched Lucas Torreira (£5.1m) was a big miss in the first half, but Fulham still scored their goal after the Uruguayan came on at the interval.

Obviously, Emery has also not been helped by the swathe of injuries in defensive areas this season. It meant that today was the first time that Sokratis Papastathopoulos (£5.1m), Laurent Koscielny (£5.4m) and Shkodran Mustafi (£5.4m) played together, with the latter being forced off with injury at half-time to make matters worse.

“Our challenge now is to improve defensively. Today is the first time we could play with Sokratis, Koscielny and Mustafi. The injury to Mustafi meant we changed for the second half. We are happy with the attacking players and scoring goals, but we need more balance defensively to improve. We need to work, we need to do better in the second half of the season.” – Unai Emery

“(On Mustafi) It’s a small injury. It’s a small problem but he didn’t feel well after the first half. He wanted to play.” – Unai Emery

Aaron Ramsey (£7.2m) showed a glimmer of what he has often offered as he scored in a substitute’s appearance in the second half. Emery went as far as to pay him compliments in his post-match press conference, also indicating that he might not leave in January either.

“He worked well in Liverpool, today he played minutes and he scored. I want this focus. I would expect (he will still be here in January), yes.” – Unai Emery

As for Fulham, their defensive woes dragged on, taking their goals conceded column for the campaign to 47. They were not helped by the absence of Calum Chambers (£4.2m) in midfield, who was ineligible against his parent club. Claudio Ranieri handed a first league start since September 2017 to Ibrahima Cissé (£4.3m), who lasted 60 minutes before being replaced by Jean Michael Seri (£5.0m).

Fulham lined up in a 3-4-3 with Tim Ream (£4.2m), Maxime Le Marchand (£4.2m) and Denis Odoi (£4.4m) were at the back, with Joe Bryan (£4.8m) and Cyrus Christie (£4.2m) pushing on. That more forward-thinking approach was tempered by the introduction of Timothy Fosu-Mensah (£4.5m) for Christie in the 56th minute.

The aforementioned Sessegnon looked dangerous in fits and bursts. No Fulham player was treated to more big chances than him at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal XI (3-4-2-1): Leno; Koscielny, Sokratis, Mustafi (Torreira 45′); Kolasinac, Xhaka, Guendouzi, Maitland-Niles; Aubameyang, Iwobi (Saka 83′); Lacazette (Ramsey 75′).

Fulham XI (3-4-3): Rico; Ream, Le Marchand, Odoi; Bryan, Cissé (Seri 61′), Cairney, Christie (Fosu-Mensah 56′); Schürrle (Kamara 61′), Sessegnon; Mitrovic.

    Haz/Salah/Son/Deulofeu/Redmond
    Auba/Jimenez/Chicharito*

    I've held Chicha for too long after making more pressing changes.
    Need a replacement, not many decent ones at his price.
    Only ones I can see are Mitro or Ings but I already have Redmond from Southampton, anybody got any alternatives?

        I'd rather we play 3-5-2 when son goes

        toby - sanchez - foyth

        with trippier/rose wing backs

        moura just weakens kane

        1. Fantastisk
          • 6 Years

          I hope you play Foyth too, thought he was excellent against Arsenal in the 4-2.

            one bad game, has looked quite composed for us in other games

            but whatever makes you sleep at night

            1. Black Knights
              • 12 Years

              He looked terrible in several, I thought.

      4. Rusty71

        No!

    4. RamaJama

      Newcastle conceded 3 against Manu last time. And that with Mourinho AS coach.
      How many do you think we can hope for today?

      1. yakirh
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Different story at St James' Park

        1. Rusty71
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah, at OT, Newcastle would have been more defensive!

      2. Numb
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        4?

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          That’s the average from OGS’ first 3 United matches

      3. Fantastisk
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        1-0 Kenedy screamer

        1. Rusty71
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          I'll take that bet!

    5. Bob B
      • 11 Years

      A. Robertson & Mane
      B. Bednarek & Salah

      1. SkeletONv01

        Squeeze some funds for TAA + Salah? 🙂

        1. Bob B
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          I'm just simplifying a suggestion, it's either:

          Fabianski (Button)
          Robertson TAA Doherty Digne AWB
          Mane Hazard Pogba Richarlison Camarasa
          Kane Aubameyang Jimenez

          Fabianski (Button)
          Bednarek TAA Doherty Digne AWB
          Salah Hazard Pogba Richarlison Camarasa
          Kane Aubameyang Kamara

          1. SkeletONv01
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Well, then go for the Salah option 🙂

    6. Jet5605
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Which 5.0 or less GK should replace Hart? Not interested in Fab due to fixtures.

      A - Heaton
      B - Foster
      C - Etheridge
      D - Other?

      Hart - Patricio
      Robbo - Shaw - Digne - Doherty - AWB
      Salah - Son - Pogba - Rich - McArthur
      Kane - Jiminez - Ings

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Heaton - but Pope lurking too

      2. mookie
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Speroni and play Patricio every week.

      3. Rusty71
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Etheridge!

    7. Atimis
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Worth having Salah over Son next week? Can get him for free

      1. Funkyav
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        yes

      2. Concrete

      Who are your top five must buys for the next 6 or so games? I am looking at Salah, Pereira, Pogba, Eriksen in Son's absencd, and, dare I say it, Tom Heaton.

      1. I Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Pogba the only player I really want to get in.

              Fair enough.

          Good
          I wouldn’t go,Siggy with Everton’s form though

        4. Trane84
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          I'd find a way to shoehorn Pogba in for Siggy.

        How is Darts so heavily televised by Sky Sports?

        Does anybody actually watch this rubbish?

          What else would they show on a channel called “Sky Darts”??

            Scrap it, it’s a load of crap.

          Loved it.
          So much fun. Different things for different people.
          Live is amazing.

          Iv been to the Ally Pally for the live darts... and let me tell you it was class. Dressed as a banana getting drunk and singing all evening. Don't even remember leaving the gaff 😀

          1. Fantasy Gold
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Going to watch it and getting s***faced sounds like fun.

            I’m talking about on the TV though 🙂

              Had the TV turned up to max trying to hear what they were chanting. Eventually met someone who had been, and he solved it.

          Was decent on BBC years ago when they hit 41s more regularly than 180s

          1. Fantasy Gold
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Yeah when they used to drink beer whilst playing.

            I can see the entertainment value there.

          I don't see the point.

        7. Monkey Hanger
          • 11 Years

          Always exciting. But a real buzz if you gamble on it.

          The only darts video I ever ejoys hapens to be one of the best videos ever. Excrutiating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIh7IsgauRQ

      17. Eytexi
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        For the next 5 (excluding gw24)?
        Best defender OR midfielder under 5m?

        Current thoughts: Holebas, Paterson, Camarasa or Brooks?

        1. Eytexi
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Under 5.2m*

        2. Concrete
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Holebas or Brooks, wouldn’t go near Cardiff myself

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Lovren depending on Gomez

          1. Eytexi
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Already plan on going Robbo, TAA, Salah.

            1. Rupert The Horse
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years

              How much is Doherty?

              1. Eytexi
                • 6 Years
                5 years, 10 months ago

                Also own.

                  Ha. Next time mention your defence.

        4. Rusty71
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Paterson. Oop and good fixtures!

          1. Eytexi
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            This was my initial thought, but just about everyone has said steer clear of cardiff.

      18. FPL Daniel

        What's this Pogba news? Anyone has link?

        1. KingOllie
          • 9 Years

          Rumours, nothing more. Wait for Lord Dinnery to confirm or not

          Nothing.

        I havent seen Pogba anywhere around my office today.

        1. Fantasy Gold
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          That’s very surprising indeed.

          Haven’t seen him at mine either.

          Usually see him knocking about.

      20. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Really don’t know what to do here.
        I really want Salah but don’t want to lose Hazard this week.
        Was planning Auba out but it’s just a bit confusing.
        2fts. 1.2 itb
        Fab
        Lovren Schindler Doherty Shaw WanB
        Haz Rich Son Anderson Ward
        Kane Auba Mitro

        1. Fantasy Gold
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Salah can wait a week if you plan to captain Hazard.

          Equally viable captain choice next GW.

          1. Rupert The Horse
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Son to Pogba just to use the transfer?

            1. Fantasy Gold
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              I would prefer Son to Pogba next GW.

              Shaw > TAA

        2. Ask Yourself
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Sort out Ward now, next week kane/Auba + Son > Salah + sone striker

          1. Rupert The Horse
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Thing is I’ve never had a problem with having a full squad.

      21. thunder_mike
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Rashford + Sane > Kamara > Salah for free

        Fab Button
        Robbo Doherty Digne WanB Holebas
        Haz Sané Richarlison Pogba Snodgrass
        Wilson Rashford Kane

      22. #FPLBhuna

        wan(bis) hundred and eightyyyyyyyyyyyy

        darts aint so bad

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          New team/ FFS name for next season perhaps?

      23. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Fabianski / Hamer
        Robertson / Digne / Doherty / Kolasinac / AWB
        Hazard / Son / Pogba / Martial / Camarasa
        Kane / Aubameyang / Ings

        A) Son / Aubameyang >> Salah / Jimenez
        B) Kolasinac >> TAA

        2 FTs. Which would you prefer this week?

        The Abraham talks put me off of A a little, but Jiminez is not really going to get dropped, right?
        Son/Aubameyang also have an alright fixture... but everyone and their dog will have Salah (C) next week.

        B is a 'safe' move and at least gives an extra week to think about A.

      24. Arctic monkeys

        Was the Martial rumour when he didn't start HUD like this one ?

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          No.

        2. Brosstan
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          No, that was confirmed by Solskjær before the game.

      25. diesel001
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Am I the only one who doesn't own Pogba, hope he doesn't start and then either comes on for a 1pt cameo or his autosubs score 1pt or less?

        1. Party time
            5 years, 10 months ago

            I do not wish the same to any of your player

          • JabbaWookiee
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            I don't own him either. You're dreaming if you think he might not start. But then I think you know this. Another double figure haul could be on the cards I'm afraid.

            You planning on bringing him in somehow?

            1. diesel001
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              No plan to bring him in yet. Hopefully Rafa has a plan for tonight.

              1. Hits from the Bong
                • 6 Years
                5 years, 10 months ago

                He’s triple captained him

          • fedolefan
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Yeah, I don't. I just goofed up though. Went for Siggy over Pogba after Cardiff.

          • THAT'S LIFE
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Don't own. If he still looks as dangerous tonight and at Spurs then will likely have no choice when the fixtures turn very easy again. I still want to see more of how OJS sets them up before/if picking anyone

        2. BeDreamin
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          I have 2FTs but don't think I need to make any changes:

          Fab (Fodder)

          TAA, Robertson, Trippier, Digne, (AWB)

          Salah, Richarlison, Pogba, (Snodgrass), (Fodder)

          Wilson, Kane, Auba

          Should I down grade Snoddy to £4.7 in case I need the funds later?

          Was thinking Snod + Digne > £4.7m + Luiz

          1. Rusty71
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Downgrade Tripps, Upgrade Snoddy!

        3. Dušan Citizen
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Getting Pogba and Richarlison in for a hit just sums up nicely my season so far.

          1. Flynny
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Pogba actually ill or is this just a nonsense rumour??
