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.

    So GW32 looks like being the optimum week to BB. The Aguero 20 pointer was the optimum time to play the TC. I wonder if GW35 is in hindsight will prove the optimum week to play the free hit?

      Well, this season GW1 was probably the best. If you just averaged every managers bench. Is this recorded anywhere?

      My mate played BB this week and FHing next week. He’s had a fairly poor season but got 20+ on BB and FH seems nice next week.

          And none of the advice was helpful ?

          The chip strategy many followed was to setup a BB next week. That’s not even happened yet.

          The red card tonight for example was hardly foreseen, or Brighton getting a red and losing 5-0

          It comes across as ungrateful and generally people here so very very well season in and season out.

        I’d be careful if I were him. Once in a lifetime opportunity to play in and a cup final. If this was gw36 he’d miss it. Last thing he needs to be doing is starting trouble off field now

        It was my first thought but I've lost count of the number of times I've advised others against getting in Ings throughout the season.

      With Deeney out of the picture:

      1. Murray out for Wilson?
      2. Dunk out for Boly?
      3. Murray + Valery out for Long + TAA (-4)

        Valery most likely will be fine, so no need to transfer out unless there is concrete news

          Might roll with Wilson then if Murray fails to produce
