          Well if you didn’t have the wildcard you might be FH in 32 but then have to consider who to keep for 34 onwards - since you have the WC it really doesn’t matter unless you have significant value in either or

              I don’t have the WC so I really need to consider who I want going forwards - son seems to have dropped form but that could just be spurs as a whole. You never know with them and in theory Southampton is the better fixture. That said arsenal played thurs and Pogba has been rested through suspension. It’s tough for GW30 alone - I’d be tempted to keep both and sell for 31

                Agree with Son it's down to his bad form vs. Spurs have the better fixture than ManUtd. I'm getting Aguero in for this home fixture so selling this week. GL

              True - I split his form 1-15 and 16-29 and the difference was pretty clear. I think Brooks is the better option now he is back fit as he is more direct and will be fresher going into their better fixtures.

    "The great thing about Arsenal is that the team hurts and disappoints you so much that real life disappointments don't even faze you. How can I be hurt by anything when I've seen Mustafi defend?"

      there are levels of dissapointment, we chelsea fans think that is hard to cheer for chelsea, but you have to be mazochist to root for arsenal..

      Salah - don't think Vardy will have a lot of space to run in behind against Fulham
