Arsenal options in Blank Gameweek 27 audition as Huddersfield improve

A number of Arsenal players performed well in their auditions for Blank Gameweek 27 at Huddersfield on Saturday.

With Everton, Manchester City, Chelsea and Brighton not having a Premier League fixture in the next round of matches, the Gunners have been targetted as a team well-equipped to cover them.

We assess how Unai Emery’s men got on in Gameweek 26 and pick out some key players who could reward Fantasy managers in the near future in this latest Scout Notes article.

Huddersfield Town 1-2 Arsenal

Goals: Alex Iwobi (£5.4m), Alexandre Lacazette (£9.4m)

Own Goals: Sead Kolasinac (£5.0m)

Assists: Kolasinac, Ainsley Maitland-Niles (£4.4m) | Adama Diakhaby (£4.5m)

Sead Kolasinac (£5.0m) owners had cause to feel hard done by in Arsenal’s win over Huddersfield on Saturday. The Bosnian left-back continued to deliver on his attacking potential by providing an assist for Alexi Iwobi‘s (£5.4m) opening strike and had the second-most touches of any player in the match. He was also heading for a first away clean sheet of the season but was unfortunate to concede a stoppage-time own-goal to wipe that out and cost him six points before bonus. However, that unlucky moment should not put Fantasy managers off Kolasinac for appealing home fixtures in Gameweeks 27 and 28, when Arsenal host Southampton and Bournemouth respectively.

Also impressing for Arsenal, as much of their attacking play came from wide areas was Ainsley Maitland-Niles (£4.4m) who assumed the right-back position from Stephan Lichtsteiner (£4.5m) in Hector Bellerín‘s (£5.4m) absence through injury. The FPL midfielder had the most number of touches in the game and created more chances than anyone else too, providing the assist for Alexandre Lacazette‘s (£9.4m) goal. The only downside of Maitland-Niles is the fact that he is classified as a midfielder in FPL and therefore, compared to Kolasinac, does not benefit as highly from any clean sheets that could come Arsenal’s way.

It was Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang‘s (£11.1m) illness that led to another divisive weekend of FPL action. Many managers had opted to hold the Arsenal man and not go for Sergio Aguero (£11.5m), with the Blank in Gameweek 27 in mind and a favourable fixture for the Arsenal man in Gameweek 26. However, that trust was not rewarded as Aubameyang missed his side’s trip to Huddersfield while Aguero bagged a second hat-trick in as many home matches.

Arsenal manager Unai Emery opted not to risk Aubameyang for Saturday’s journey to Huddersfield after the forward had done battle with an illness in the build-up to Gameweek 26. The Spaniard claimed he thought his top-scorer would be okay to play the match in his pre-match press conference but in the end, he was not even named among the substitutes, with Lacazette leading the line as the solitary forward. The fact that Arsenal won the game and, as expected, were afforded a decent number of chances, will certainly feel like a missed opportunity for the 25% in possession of Aubameyang. The main beneficiaries are those who are looking to sign him for Gameweeks 27 and 28 because he has now dropped in price to £11.1m.

Saturday’s goal-scorer Lacazette has quietly been building a case as an alternative to Aubameyang in recent weeks. In the last four Gameweeks, the Frenchman has boasted better minutes per chance and minutes per chance created than his colleague, every 42.3 minutes to 45 and every 85 minutes to 90 respectively. While Lacazette’s lead in both departments is slender, he still costs £1.7m less than his Gabonese team-mate, which means he has the potential to offer greater value for these next two fixtures. It must also be remembered that the recent interest in Aubameyang has been purely based around his fixtures rather than any outstanding underlying statistics, so it shouldn’t feel like it’s aiming too low to look at Lacazette instead. He has now started the last six matches in a row and has completed the last three, his longest spell of consecutive 90-minute appearances since Gameweek 11. You also have to go back to Gameweek 16 for the last time Lacazette blanked at home.

Iwobi was a particularly key player for Arsenal at Huddersfield in Gameweek 26. With Mesut Özil (£8.0m), Aaron Ramsey (£7.2m) and Granit Xhaka (£5.2m) absent through illness, knee and groin injuries respectively, the Nigerian was able to record his fifth start in seven Premier League appearances. He finished the game top of the charts for shots inside the box, two of them on target and one finding the back of the net. Iwobi’s opening goal also means he has already equalled his best total for attacking returns in a Premier League campaign. In both 2016/17 and 2017/18 he recorded three goals and five assists, the same as he has after 26 Gameweeks of 2018/19.

Coming into the starting XI to replace Aubameyang was the returning Henrikh Mkhitaryan (£6.7m) to play just behind Lacazette. It was the Armenian’s first start since the 3-2 defeat to Southampton in Gameweek 17. He lasted 75 minutes, creating just one chance.

Arsenal’s defence continues to prove questionable, especially away from home. They set up with a back-three of Nacho Monreal (£5.4m), Laurent Koscielny (£5.4m) and Shkodran Mustafi (£5.4m), the latter two shaking off illness and a head injury respectively. While there was an element of fortune about Huddersfield’s late consolation strike, they deserved to find the net after pushing the Gunners in the second half. Emery’s men remain the only top-six side without a clean sheet on the road this season, struggling even to get one when facing the division’s lowest scorers.

“Yes (the lack of clean sheet concerns me), but we won. The clean sheet is important but above all is to win. You can take a clean sheet and draw only. We spoke before in the dressing room with the team, above all win, after take individual targets. The first is to score one more goal than them and after clean sheet. Every player worked well and the last action, unfortunately for us, they scored. Maybe they deserved it.” – Unai Emery

New manager Jan Siewert has already had some effect on Huddersfield since taking over for the Gameweek 24 defeat to Everton. 4-3-3 is definitely the formation he wants to play at the John Smith’s Stadium, as he deployed it once again on Saturday.

“I showed them the way they could play and, in two or three weeks it is a lot to do, but everyone is willing to do it.” – Jan Siewert

For the second match in a row, Elias Kachunga (£4.8m) was used as the central striker, while Steve Mounié (£5.8m) was absent from the matchday squad entirely again. The DR Congo international was not particularly effective against Arsenal registered zero shots and key passes, and only two outfield Huddersfield players who started the match had fewer touches of the ball than him. How long Kachunga keeps his place remains to be seen with other options available to Siewert, including new signing Karlan Grant (£5.0m) who has made two substitute appearances now.

There was a more encouraging display from Adama Diakhaby (£4.5m), who has now started each of the three matches under Siewert on the flanks of the front three. The Frenchman was the star man for Huddersfield against Arsenal as he had the joint-highest number of shots of any player in the match and was second for penalty box touches behind only Lacazette. It was his energy that inspired the spirited fightback for Huddersfield in the second half and he was credited with the assist for Kolasinac’s own goal. He had further chances to score, as did Juninho Bacuna (£4.2m), who has also started all of Siewert’s matches so far. Whether Diakhaby can sustain his performance from this match remains to be seen, as five of his six shots since Gameweek 23 were recorded in this match.

Jason Puncheon (£4.2m) has now started two of Siewert’s three games in charge of Huddersfield and his role appears unclear at this point. He played in the central midfield trio against Everton, was an unused substitute away at Chelsea and played on the flanks of the front-three against Arsenal.

As for the Terriers themselves, they are yet to pick up a point under their new manager but are making improvements in their underlying statistics. In the four matches prior to Gameweek 26, Huddersfield were averaging 8.5 shots per game, five in the box and two on target. Against Arsenal, they registered 15 goal attempts, seven of which were in the penalty area and five were on target. They were justly rewarded with a first goal in 597 minutes of football. With Newcastle (away), Wolves (home), Brighton (away), Bournemouth (home) their next four opponents, there is certainly the chance Siewert to continue improvements at the John Smith’s Stadium.

“I think the way we created the chances, and at least we scored, we showed that we are on the right wave. We showed again today that we can create many chances which made me very proud. This is exactly the attitude I want to see. We showed that we fight for each other and that we fight on the pitch.” – Jan Siewert

Finally, Ben Hamer (£4.0m) got his first start in the Huddersfield goal since Gameweek 3. He was given the chance to play against Arsenal after Jonas Lössl (£4.4m) was declared unavailable following an illness. With 12 days until the Terriers’ next Premier League match it would be premature to suggest Hamer has his place in the side back.

Huddersfield Town XI (4-3-3): Hamer; Kongolo (Durm 56′), Schindler, Zanka, T Smith; Bacuna, Hogg, Mooy; Puncheon (Depoitre 66′), Kachunga (Grant 83′), Diakhaby.

Arsenal XI (3-4-2-1): Leno; Monreal, Koscielny, Mustafi; Kolasinac, Guendouzi, Torreira, Maitland-Niles; Iwobi, Mkhitaryan; Lacazette.

      Good news - although its likely to be 1-0 either way

      Weren't you the guy who told us Giles was starting last midweek then he didn't?

        Yep but that was just a (wrong) prediction. And it was a cup game so didn’t matter. This is based on reliable information. There is a difference.

          Giles will play etc etc doesn't sound like a prediction.
          Fwiw I think the team is unchanged.

            Well it was based on what Nuno had said in an interview with the local paper. Either way not a big deal compared with some of the rubbish posted on here, especially as it was a cup game

              It was presented as fact. Well done on getting todays right even though it was all over twitter many hours before kickoff.

    'The only downside of Maitland-Niles is the fact that he is classified as a midfielder in FPL and therefore, compared to Kolasinac, does not benefit as highly from any clean sheets that could come Arsenal’s way.'

    Don't think that's a big draw back looking at arsenal...

      Oh get Robbo

      I've been avoiding him for ages as I didn't get him cheap. But he returns and returns - terrible mistake to avoid him. Think of him as a really cheap mid who also gets cleans.

      Then go Barnes if only as you get him in 31.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years

        Good thinking. Robbo was my gw1 pick. Wonder why I sold him with my early WC for TAA 🙁

    4. AuFeld

      B. Pereira and Jota. Then Jota ~> Fraser for GW30.

  5. Scotty B
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    For next gameweek would you:-

    A Richarlison > a £9.2m or below mid(other mids Salah, Mane, Anderson, Son) for a -4 hit.
    B Gallagher > £7.0m or below forward (others are Jimenez & Rashford) for a -4 hit.
    C Take no hit and play Bednarek away at Arsenal.

    Thanks in advance

      A pogba

      Your welcome but you really need tk ask this?

      1. Maddi Son
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Next 5 games is a good time to be Pogba-less if you don't own him IMO.

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Disagree

          Fixture proof, pk duty, taking shots for fun, etc.

          We can agree to disagree 😉

          1. Maddi Son
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            I think you're talking from a Pogba owner standpoint. Obviously you'd be stupid to sell him if you already own him. I'm just saying now isn't the time to buy.

            1. NABIL - FPL otai
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              I know. I still he's worth getting nonetheless

          2. Maddi Son
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            (I own Pogba btw... probably important to say that) Just putting ego aside to help OP

            1. Scotty B
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Cheers folks and glad you've said this as I was thinking the same. I got rid of Pogba last week on the double along with Digne to get Laporte and Siggy then got rid of Siggy straight away for Mane. Now sold Sane for Anderson and wondering whether to get Pogba back or is there anyone else I could get as a differential? Or maybe just get rid of Gallagher for Arnie but then he was in the bench at the weekend and getting him could cause a benching headache going forward

    3. mattyb09

      Might want to get Gallagher out of your lineup.

        Yes maybe thanks - Arnoutavic maybe?

    BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker told his colleague sally that 'I can't afford to buy Sergio Aguero for my Fantasy Football team'.

    Not just gnashing of teeth being done on here then!

      Wow, that's some fall from grace after all the hard work to get to 17k. I hope your climb back up is just as speedy.
      I'm here feeling slightly sorry for myself after dropping out of the top 2k this gameweek so far with doherty and hopefully jota to play. But my disappointment is small compared to yours.

      Ha ha. Seems every time I have a Monday player(s) and am excited about them bringing in the points so late, they end up with a 1 or 2 at best. Now today, I have Jimenez, Doherty and Moutinho. Let's see how this goes.

    best 5.7 or under Mid Fielder? Is Iwobi's playing too risky?

    I’m a simple man and don’t ask for much, so... Doherty, Jimenez and especially Jota... Please be on starting XI, score plenty of goals and save my motivation for the rest of this horrible season. I’m in need of an fpl miracle

  17. LewanGOALski

    Which of those plans is better?

    Plan A)
    GW27: Hazard + Ings ➡ Jota + Lacazette (-4)
    GW28: Firmino ➡ Aguero

    Plan B)
    GW27: Hazard ➡ Jota
    GW28: Ings ➡ Aguero

    Anyone have links to the BGW and DGW spreadsheets? Or to the FFS articles with the navigation strategies?

    Thanks!

    etherington (button)
    Holebas doherty taa (Duffy, awb)
    Pogba Haz sterling salah son
    Rash Jim (kamara)

    Thinking of haz+ kamara for aubam/laca +1.

    If aubam it will be someone who won't play like puncheon. If laca then could be doucoure or Townsend.
    What's your thoughts?

  21. RealSocialDads

    1 FT

    A. Sterling to Son, then Son back to Sterling next week
    B. Save, play Bednarek (ars)

    Already benching Aguero for this week and definitely want Raz for WHU onwards

    1. RealSocialDads
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Also Son would get the armband this gameweek

    2. Tcheco
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      yes

  22. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    But perplexed as to why Jimenez rose last night when he hasn't even played yet. Kind of screwed my next gameweek plans up but nevermind, would rather wait and be priced out.

    1. Amey

      I need to learn such patience 😮
      Took a-12 to accommodate Digne & Kane & everything went South from that time

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years

      This. Screw thOse early transfers!

    only just have exact money to get Aguero and Sterling in next week but Aguero is rising fast (even though he has a blank next GW!!!) - what are the chances he will rise again before next GW?????

    1. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      When everyone realises he’s not playing next week after tonight should interest in the pair!

    Tonight is all set up nicely for a Bennett hattie.

      *Doherty

      Dream

  26. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    How does this plan look?

    Digne and Firmino > Peltier and Auba gw27 for free

    Then Auba > Kun gw28 for free

    Have to get Peltier because Kun looks like he’s rising again before the deadline and I won’t be able to afford him otherwise

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Go with your guts on that one. Could work well but the risk is there. FT is golden these days

  27. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Deeney to Jimmy, worth a hit?

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes imo

    2. RealSocialDads
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Not worth a hit

  29. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Have exactly enough money to get Kun next week, just need his price to stay 11.5 what are the chances of that happening?

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Low

    2. elchilangles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      just posted the same above, I'm totally at a loss as to why he is rising and continues to do so with a blank next week!!!

      1. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Somebody suggested earlier that it's people with multiple teams controlled by a "bot" teams that have transferred him in. I'm 65 and don't even know what a bot is. I'm afraid it's still pen and paper for me. But I'm still doing ok with my old fashioned methods.

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I think he’ll rise again but it’s crazy, the people bringing him in must not know he has a blank this week

  30. Gentlemens club
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    1,2ITB and 1FT. Save or Digne -> Pererira?

    Fab
    Robbo TAA AWB Doherty
    Pogba Salah Anderson Son
    Jimenez Rashford
