Lacazette and Kolasinac benched as Deulofeu absent

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.

    For those without a bench boost, a Brighton hammering, Deeney RC, Valery injury and Arsenal rotation has worked out quite well.

      No its basically 1million more players every year added. Also due to ffscout getting publicity right on ffs site now everyone knows this site for tips and what experienced managers are doing. No other way almost all people would have held Richarclison even after 4blanks. They read here that is underlying stats were still consistent. The years ahead will become more and more 'casual' as pool and knowledge will increase. Will also be futile to buy membership as more and more impossible to get in top 1000 by every year

        Haven't checked the comments here, but looked valid to me. When you play a little rough like Deeney, you'll eventually get sent off when you forget that someone's short and you're endangering their consciousness 😀
