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.

    From GW36 onwards, I want to have 3 Liverpool.

    I currently have Mane and TAA.

    Salah is going to be tricky to get in. Vardy to Firmino is the obvious move.

    As such, should I do Vardy to Firmino this week or wait until next?

        Options to upgrade in midfield are:
        - Mane
        - Son
        - De Bruyne

        I don't really want to lose any of them....what do you think?

              I was looking at later bench boost but now I’m thinking I want the bench boost done so I can downgrade bench to absolute tosh if needing the cash in the final weeks. Don’t wanna wait a fortnight and Brighton let me down anyway !

              Deeneys price bracket sucks is a real issue. Brighton’s fixtures almost a worse issue!

                Yeah I just wanna get BB done at this stage to see if I can reasonably expect to win my ML still. It pains to have to consider Gray and Ings, I'd never want either under normal circumstances, in fact the only striker I'm interested in is Rashford because of his 37/38 fixtures but that would require multiple transfers.
