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 thinking Auba TC next dgw but this performance is off-putting.. no so much his as Arsenal in general, really poor against 10 men.

    1. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Good that laca will be playing game in Europe midweek by looks of it and they are at home. Bit gutted as a laca owner

  3. Don Kloppeone
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Either Ings or Long worth a punt for Deeney? Would have the advantage of giving me enough cash for Eriksen > Mané for GW36

  4. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    A) Wilson
    B) A.Gray + 4pts

  5. SomeoneKnows
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Lacazette > Firmino ? or should I wait until after DGW35

    1. tucaoneo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I would wait.

  6. thunder_mike
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Gray has played well,very tempting.

    1. TheDragon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      It’s desperate times isn’t it

    2. good biashara
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      He seems to have the first touch of a rhino though

  7. FC
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    What luck I'm having in my WC team
    I've lacazette in playing 11 who didn't play, my first sub is kolasinac who also didn't play and my second sub is Deeney haha

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Oh wow

    2. DandyDon

      6 years, 7 months ago

  8. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Have 6.2M to spend on a defender for Shaw. Who would you get in? (Have TAA)

    1. tucaoneo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Trippier

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Plays both?

        1. tucaoneo
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Well he's had his rest.

        2. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Nope.

          - signed, pained owner

    2. Pigeon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Laporte, Trippier

  9. Gudjohnsen
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Murray to Gray for -4?

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Or Wilson/king

  10. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone out there like me with only the BB left? I have Foster Deeney* Valery* Duffy on my bench so I’m considering BB in 38.

    Thoughts:

    Spurs (x3) v Everton
    Liverpool (x2) v Wolves
    Wolves (x1) v Liverpool
    Southampton (x2) v Huddersfield
    Man City (x3) v Brighton
    Man United (x2) v Cardiff
    Watford (x2) v West Ham

    This could be doable? For me I’d only need to bring in 2x united, 1x Southampton for this set up. Just thinking outside of the box.

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Foster?

    2. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Too risky, teams on the beach may just rotate players about.

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Maybe yeah, ahhh

  11. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Is TM going to get his 1-0 Arsenal victory wish?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      He's from the future after all...

    FRASER OFF MY BENCH 🙂 🙂

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Can't hear you

  13. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Scrolling through the "DGW34 CAPTAIN POLL" and I can't help but laugh at how unpredictable this GW has been

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Duffy(c) and Murray(c) still have some hope. Faint, but better than nothing.

  14. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Deulofeu and Firmino combo looking enticing now.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Will deulo be fit?

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Can afford to wait for news. No point doing early transfers IMO. Jota and Redmond also options.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          yeah agreed. Jota & Redmond my other two options for that slot for sure.

  15. Alnair
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    If Auba actually finished these chances...

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      What all one if them ?

    2. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      he’d score goals

  16. SheBangsTheDrums
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Any chance of Deeney’s card being rescinded?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Shouldn't be.

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      No.

    3. tucaoneo
      • 7 Years

      Petition from FPL community.

      1. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Why?

  17. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Tempted to get Andre Gray and captain the little gay bashing scumbag.

    Can't go any worse than the last few weeks. Making sensible decisions isn't working, so might as well try some mad ones.

    1. tucaoneo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Without watching the game I am considering it.

      1. Lord.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Having watch the game I’d be better off with Deeney.

  18. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    How have Arsenal not conceded? Awful

  19. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Arsenal away CS.

    This is not a drill.

  20. pablo discobar
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Might just keep vardy

    Sell Duffy for rubber Jonny,

    Means I can bring Calvert Lewin and Salah in for GW 36

  21. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    If I do Martial, Vardy/Lukaku to Mane, Zaha then I can bench Valery, Dunk and Zaha this week. TC Jimenez and get rid of Dunk before a BB in 37. V tempting... Just rotation in a sgw that would possibly hurt I guess

  22. Fernando Torres
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Would it be worth bench boosting this....

    Ryan, TAA, Bednarek, JWP

    1. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Better than
      Lloris Murray Dunk Duffy Deulofeu

    3. OldBenKenobi
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Of course. Easy decision imo

  23. Hy liverpool
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Wilson/King vs fulham
    Or
    Gray

    ?????
    Gray on penos and nailed for hudd SOU

    1. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Gray

  24. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Imagine benching Foster to play Ryan...

  25. Gnu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    After watching the FPL gods dump all over my team this week they've now decided to vomit on it as well now.
    Lovely.

  26. George Sillett
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    The PL has little strength in depth if this Arsenal team are in the top 4.

  27. knightrider
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 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 (and don't say Deeney!)

    1. tucaoneo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I am on D atm because I still want to have Salah in 36.

  28. DandyDon
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Kola may have got 9 pts tonight if he’d played. Only needed 29bps Auba had a shocker missing out on any

  29. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Can’t wait for this season to be over

  30. MTPockets
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Still couldn't score against 10. Pass
