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.

    A lot of jam going on in my team.

    Lacazette will be auto subbed with Mane. For context, I picked Deeney & JWP over him.

    I will never bench Sadio again.

      It's a fair question and depends on the person.

      It's quite easy to be sucked into spending a lot of time doing research etc, often for zero reward.

      I'm enjoying it a lot less than before, so will probably abandon MLs next season and just play for OR.

        I wildcarded this week with next week in mind for BB. But the additional players I have chosen to accompany LFC assets could easily be beaten by Hazard, Wilson, Fraser, Vardy. Such nice fixtures for highly owned assets.

        The DGW fixtures aren't even too enticing tbh. United out the question, City have hard games, Spurs have a hard one, Arsenal have looked horrible tonight and don't expect much better in next 2...

          If FPL was just about picking the players based on the most expected result it would be easy.

          City can destroy anyone. Chelsea and Bournemouth can play crap and lose. Utd could turn it on against City etc.
