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.

      This week has had more twists than Game Of Thrones. Shane Duffy playing the part of Stannis Baratheon. Troy Deeney's early exit is like Tyrion's shock death in the 1st episode of this season.

        That happened? Shame. Tyrion was a good man

        Yeah. I wasn't expecting him to go like that. Brutal stuff.

        Omg why did you spoil that for people who haven’t watched it. The way Sansa killed him, brutal.

          It wasn't Sansa, it was Arya Stark, she had one of those masks.

      I just checked. GW1: 30 pts on bench. Brighton lads may get negative points next week and as Deeney and Valery owner bb cancelled. Now is time to create plan B 🙁

    5. McSauce

      No overturn with that MNF analysis saying he kinda deserved it!! Cheers Gary!

      Transfered in Deeney last night, assume he is out for gw35 now?

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 7 Years

        Yup

        Why so early

        1. JELLYFISH
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Cos I’m on holiday in a different time zone and only have limited time to look at fpl. Wouldn’t normally do it for this reason.

    7. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Anyone considering to use TC over BB next GW???

      Deeney RC
      Duffy
      Dunk
      Siggy

      1. McSauce
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Yep! I am now

        Foster Deeney Dunk Valery

        1. Niho992
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Who would you TC?

          Im thinking Aguero, Son or Jimenez

        2. how now brown cow
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Still not going to get a better week to BB unless you transfer them out.

          Who's the standout TC?

          1. Niho992
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            I have to use -8 hit if i want to use BB and i think thats too much

          2. Baps hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            I have Valery and Bednarek. GW 38 they play vs HUD.

            1. George Sillett
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              Nobody could ever accuse you of not being prepared.

      2. sovietrockettes
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I'm in on the Aguero TC

      3. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Swap out Deeney and it is fine. One Duffy / Dunk goal and a Siggy assist and it would be successful IMO.

      4. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Sterling. But will just captain. TC saved for a final day punt.

        1. Niho992
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Good choice but i dont have him

      5. Volley127
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Absolutely. Who to TC though.. is another question

    8. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Did everyone see Deeney confront Emery as he was going off, gesturing towards him and trying to explain that he only touched him with his wrist? I like to think that Unai just stared at him, smirking, until...

      "Good ebening."

      1. HNI
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Unai is one spanish guy who seems so french

      2. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        😀

    9. knightrider
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Who should I bring in for Vardy? Already have Jimenez and Aguero. 0.3m in the bank.

      A) Fiminio
      B) Rashford
      C) Wilson
      D) Keep Vardy
      E) Something else

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        E) Deeney.

        For a laugh.

        Go on, I dare you!

      2. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Deeney.

      3. TomSaints
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Vardy has a good fixture this week.

        But I need his funds to get more DGW, but trend so far this season is DGW = failure

      4. Zen_Master
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Keep Vardy!

    10. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      When Vardy blanked I cursed myself for not going choosing Deeney on my WC - I had planned to get him for GW35 but half expected him to score tonight. So glad I didn't get him. I guess I'm not alone and we should be thankful for small mercies.

      1. HNI
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        In last 5 minutes I did Trip + deeney to Robertson + Murray.
        Then in last 1 minute wanted to save money and tried doing Robbo to TAA but game started updating. Atleast pushed 1st one in

      2. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Exactly, I thought I'd made a mistake captaining Son, until VC Duffy stepped up.

      3. The 5% Team
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        right after Vardy blanked, I got Deeney in 🙂

    11. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Think I will bring Kamara back he knew his role

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I miss him.

      2. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        He's not even on there anymore

    12. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I’m torn between playing good single gameweek players and poorer doublegame week players.

      I don’t have my bench boost and I’m considering benching:

      Kiko (hud & SOU)
      Bednarek (new & wat)

      In favour of single gameweekers such as King and the Liverpool defence double up. Seem reasonable?

      I’m just usually so up for the double gameweek a but this one I only plan to have 5 DGWers.

      Leno *
      Robertson (car) / TAA (car) / Doherty *
      Salah (car) / Son * / Eriksen * / Hazard (BUR) / Fraser (FUL)
      King (FUL) / Aubameyang *

      Ryan * / Kiko * / Bednarek * / Quaner

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        No IMO. Can see Kiko and Bednarek getting at least one CS each with those fixtures.

      2. Naboo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Kiko maybe. Can't see a Southampton CS though

    13. sovietrockettes
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I'm going to double up on Aubameyang and Lacazette for DGW35, with Aguero TC, could this work?

      Ryan
      Luiz Duffy Valery
      Mane Son Bilva Fraser
      Augero(TC) Auba Laca

      Boruc Schlupp AWB Camarasa

      BB for GW36

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Not a fan of that tbh

        1. sovietrockettes
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Arsenal tends to do better towards the end of the season with top 4 on the line........doubling up on Laca and Aubameyang takes the guesswork out of which one is going to haul.......

    14. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Having seen it again blatant red. Fully intended the contact with the elbow. Deeney's brain up his arris.

    15. fusen
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      https://www.anewpla.net/files/deeny.PNG hahaha, look at the height difference!

      Deeney normally does that and gets away with it due to the opposition not being under 5 foot tall.

      He's finally been caught out.

    16. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Valery to TAA/VVD for a hit ?

      1. sovietrockettes
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Valery could yet be fit...

      2. OldBenKenobi
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Nooo. Isn’t it just cramp he had?

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Knock?

          1. OldBenKenobi
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            It says that on site but that includes things like cramp I believe

    17. Game&Watch
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Best Cap option overall for next week?

      Was on Deenster, but he’s now dead in my eyes:(

      1. sovietrockettes
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Surely Aguero for the big matches

      2. Chucky
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Auba if you have him

      3. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Aguero or Sterling IMO

        1. Game&Watch
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Got Kun and Sterling, thinking of one of them, it’ll probably be Kun..

          Unfortunately don’t have Auba and can’t really bring him in:(

          Another option is taking a punt on Mane, as they will probably destroy Cardiff..

    18. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Is there a red card imminent table I can use going forward? 😆

      1. Naboo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        there should be. most fouls without a yellow could work much the same way

    19. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Ozil on
      Torreira off

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Great. Now someone can pass the ball to auba instead of back to the defense

    20. Game&Watch
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Guess one of the Pool fellas best Cap option for GW35? Gonna destroy Cardiff anyway so surely better than the Double fixture guys?

    21. Alnair
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Auba (Ozil) incoming

    22. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Deeney -> Jimenez pretty obvious and dullard move for me 🙁

    23. Naboo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      A Deeney > Wilson

      B Go maverick with Eriksen & Deeney > Deu & Bobby (-4)

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Deulofeu more likely to start now (if fit) with Deeney out.

      2. Rocky FPL
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        A

    24. Royal5
      • 12 Years

      Toreira injured at HT after being attacked by Deeney in the tunnel.

      1. Drexl Spivey
        • 5 Years

        Charming fellow.

    25. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Deeney out forrrrr?

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Wilson/Gray

      2. OldBenKenobi
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        3 matches 😉

      3. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        3 games.

    26. Rocky FPL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Deeney, laca to Aguero, long for -4?
      Or just do Deeney to Wilson and keep Laca

    27. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Who would you start next GW Lloris or Foster? Planning to use TC over BB as my players have better fixtures in GW 36 but dont know who to bench...

    28. Chucky
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Would you do Deeney,Siggy and Kolasinac to Auba,Hojberg and Cathcart for -8?

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        No

        1. Chucky
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          cheers

    29. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Deeney red is a complete disaster. Means have to use a transfer to get rid and then means a forced -4 to get Salah for 36. In so angry! The level of bad luck this week is insane
