Lacazette and Kolasinac benched as Deulofeu absent

2,714 Comments

A number of Fantasy Premier League options have missed out on places in the starting line-ups of Watford vs Arsenal.

Alexandre Lacazette (£9.4m) has been named on the bench with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m) leading the line on his own.

Alex Iwobi (£5.4m), Aaron Ramsey (£7.1m) and Henrikh Mkhitaryan (£6.7m) are the attacking midfielders behind him.

Also among the substitutes for Arsenal is Sead Kolasinac (£5.0m), with Nacho Monreal (£5.4m) handed the left-back berth.

Making his first start of the season at centre-back is Konstantinos Mavropanos (£4.7m).

Whether he will be able to help the Gunners to a first Premier League clean sheet on the road in 2018/19 remains to be seen.

Troy Deeney (£5.9m) might fancy his chances against the inexperienced defender, as he makes his 12th start in Watford’s last 13 league matches.

However, he is not joined by Gerard Deulofeu (£5.6m) in the side, the Spanish midfielder entirely as he deals with an ankle problem picked up in the FA Cup final.

Andre Gray (£5.9m) comes in first start since Gameweek 30.

Watford XI: Foster; Janmaat, Kabasele, Cathcart, Masina; Kiko Femenía, Capoue, Doucouré; Hughes; Deeney, Gray.

Arsenal XI: Leno; Mustafi, Koscielny, Mavropanos, Monreal; Torreira, Xhaka; Mkhitaryan, Ramsey, Iwobi; Aubameyang.

    Was debating between Deeney red card and Redmond brace.

    This is worse than benching Van Der Vard in GW 37 for goal and assist combo when I was fighting for top 10 overall. This hurts more.

          Gray is certainly a fantastic option for this week.
          I'd bring in Gray for the one game against Huddersfield over any of the other players as he's 100% going to play.
          The fact he has another game to play? What's not to like?
          Is Deeney suspended for both games or just the one? If he's out for both then it has to be a no-brainer especially as Watford face Southampton at home after.
          Even if a few people bring him in, he's surely still going to be a huge differential, too.
