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.

    Help please For DGW - which i plan to bench boost too.

    Rashford and Camarasa OUT

    A) Wilson and Redmond
    B) Ings and Moura (own son too)
    C) Ings and Fraser
    D) Keep Rashford and Cama

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Gray and redmond or A

      1. NeverLucky
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Grey probably worth a punt too. His audition tonight put me a little off. Appreciate the input and alternative mate.

      keep Rash, but do Cama > CHO

    Did Arsenal have 10 men in the second half? Can't see them getting much out of Leicester and Wolves

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      You mean Palace and Wolves

      1. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        No, I mean in their next 2 away games. Not just the next GW. Don't fancy any of their players based on tonight

        1. ZeBestee
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Right, the difference between Away and Home record for them is laughable.

          1. Van der Faart
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            It's ridiculous. Plus EL on Thursday night so who knows what will happen there.

    Deeney to Gray my only option.

    5.9
    0 ITB

    1. MTPockets
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Well if it's your only option

      • TheDragon
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Is gray nailed on?

        1. Weasel Boy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Surely got to be with Deeney out?

          1. pablo discobar
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Success might get a look in

      • FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I wouldn’t disagree, but it’s slim picking for sure that price and below

      • TAArt
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Ings?

        1. Lord.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Minutes?

      • Shineonme
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Looks like mine too or play Vardy instead ?

    2. VinMar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Was going to do Martial > Deulofeu
      Should i add Deeney > Firmino for the -4?

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        If Deulofeu fit then yes

    3. Pras (FPL)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Eriksen + Deeney -> Deulo + Firmino

      You’re welcome.

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Deul is injured!

        1. Pras (FPL)
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Of c assuming he’ll be ok. He trained all week apparently.

          1. The 5% Team
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            but still, can't see him playing twice a week

      2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Why would you lose Eriksen

        1. Pras (FPL)
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          The plum fixture is done now. One of the 2 doubles is City.

          Not saying he’s a bad option - but Eriksen + Gray doesn’t compare to Duelo + Firmino (for fixtures alone)

      3. FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        If Erik gets crocked Then I’ll consider that

    4. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Dire

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Hear

      2. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        You’ve got a good score for this GW mate!!

        My 41pts has earned me a big red 71k > 86k

        I give up!

    5. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Deeney to Gray then?

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Seems like the best option.

        Surely starts with Deeney out.

        1. The Tinkerman
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          and on pens with Troy and Cleverly out

        2. MTPockets
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Didn't start last time Deeney was out

      2. pablo discobar
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Kiko or Jonny. Basically got 4.3 to spend.

        Will keep vardy. Could sell for firmino, but that means no Salah GW36 as have Mane/TAA

      3. L S P
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        my rival gets a jammy auba goal and i get kola/laca benched.

        my reward? 0 pts off the bench (JWP/Deeney)

        Fun stuff.

      4. JJeyy
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Vardy to Gray or keep?

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Keep

        2. The 5% Team
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I would do it yes...only for free

        3. ZeBestee
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Keep. Plays Westham next.

      5. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Duffy to Cathcart worth a hit?

      6. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        This Gray bandwagon feels like it will end in traditional tears....

        So no brainer to get him in for Deeney? 😆

        1. pablo discobar
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Isaac success may get game time imo

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Hmm forgot about my old bench warmer.

            So frustrating. No idea what to do now!

        2. The Overthinker
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Essential

      7. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Hard to believe the season is nearly over and there isn’t a single player on 20 goals, let alone 25 or 30

        1. Van der Faart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Kane probably would have been had he not missed 4 games in February and Huddersfield at home.

          1. Ambrosiana Inter
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Or really

            1. Ambrosiana Inter
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Not

              1. Van der Faart
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Why not?

        2. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Not really when strikers get rotated in the top 6 teams ,Liverpool share the goals around and a few have been injured .

      8. Kiwivillan

        • 10 Years

        • 13 Years

        Could be a few green arrows around tonight for people with no players 🙂 Certainly very limited damage for most

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years

            1. Wild Rover
              • 13 Years
