Lacazette joins Aubameyang in Arsenal attack for Burnley visit

Unai Emery has made three changes to Arsenal’s opening Premier League win against Newcastle with David Luiz (£6.0m) Dani Ceballos (£5.5m) and Alexandre Lacazette (£9.5m) starting for the Gunners against Burnley. 

The Spaniard has opted to drop Callum Chambers (£4.5m) to give Brazilian Luiz his Arsenal debut, whilst handing Ceballos his first start.

Lacazette also joins the Arsenal attack with Henrik Mhikitaryan (£7.0m) dropping to the bench. 

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m), selected by 29% of managers and who came second in our Gameweek 2 captaincy poll with 17.84% of the vote, has retained his started berth.

He found the net on opening weekend at Newcastle and will have the expectation of many a Fantasy manager on his shoulders this lunch-time.

Arsenal academy duo Joe Willock (£5.5m) and Reiss Nelson (£5.0m) will also start their second successive league games for the club after impressing at St. James’ Park.

Alongside Ceballos, Willock and Nelson could offer value for money if they can start racking up some Fantasy points – so there will be plenty of attention on them this afternoon.

Meanwhile, for Burnley, Sean Dyche has opted to name an unchanged starting XI following the Clarets’ impressive 3-0 victory over Southampton last weekend. 

Dyche’s backline of Matt Lowton (£4.5m) James Tarkowski (£5.0m) Ben Mee (£5.0m) and Erik Pieters (£4.5m) will be marshalled by keeper Nick Pope (£4.5m) as the Clarets bid to keep yet another clean-sheet.

Striker Ashley Barnes (£6.5m) scored a brace last weekend, and Dyche will be hoping his talismanic striker can have a similar impact against Emery’s Arsenal.

Arsenal XI: Leno; Monreal, Sokratis, D Luiz, Maitland-Niles; Willock, Guendouzi, Ceballos; Nelson, Lacazette, Aubameyang.

Burnley XI: Pope; Pieters, Mee, Tarkowski, Lowton; McNeil, Westwood, Cork, Gudmundsson; Barnes, Wood.

      2. Jafooli

        4 years, 8 months ago

        Can you not even see transfers in a list post deadline? Have to go through each player one at a time?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Apparently.

          Dumbed down game.

          1. Jafooli
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Geez, nonsense.

            On the plus side, saves me being a loser trawling through rivals transfers that I have zero influence on 🙂

            Get a pen and paper if it's that important to you.

        2. teddypicker
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Maybe they thought with the number of players, the game would never update

          1. Jimmers
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Not much more than last year and it was never an issue before

            1. teddypicker
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              There's more playing this year and it's more work for them

  2. Jafooli

    Really hope Matip gets some action this afternoon......

    1. Marvin Moon
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      He's hoping to fill in for Gomez.

    2. Four Hit Wonder
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Larissa will definitely put out.

  3. Podge
    • 13 Years

    Leonard Crosby on YouTube is streaming the match

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years

  4. Team Cruel

    Madness that you can't view others transfer history after the deadline has passed

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      This, ridiculous change to the format.....

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Another blow for us professionals. Can't believe how much this game is favouring the filthy casuals these days

        1. Jafooli
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Next season they’ll be given 250pt head start.

    3. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Imagine if they had to generate this information, the update wouldn't be done till midweek.

      -But they did it fine before for years.

      Shut up Fred!

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Please don’t say that. Was on Pope all week until I came on here and everyone said play Heaton.

  6. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    The game is currently counting my bench point (Pope) as my actual score. Anyone else have this glitch?

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      It means you number 1 keeper wont play

      1. Jimmers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Behave 🙂

  7. Ginkapo FPL
    • 12 Years

    Luiz and Gendouzi interchanging positions is poetry

  8. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Can we no longer see other mangers transfer history?

    1. Dannyb
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Nope, ridiculous.

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      jeez they've taken that too?

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Heh, what else have they taken?

        1. Jafooli
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          My soul.

    1. Marvin Moon

    How come nobody's talking about inability to view transfer history of others.

  14. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    So tired of these casuals whining that they can no longer copy the teams of professional players.

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Not a fan of new fpl. How can we see min league opposition?

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      It’s awful. Can’t see transfers either by other managers.

  23. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Pope megged

  24. Four Hit Wonder

    Who got the assist?

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Not Auba obviously.

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Ceballos

  25. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Terrible GKing from Pope.

  26. Jon Wicks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Ceballos on corners then?

    1. Four Hit Wonder
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Yes but they seem to play a combination every time, they don't seem to be going for direct header assists. At least that's what I've seen so far.

  27. Jafooli
    • 12 Years

  28. Brosstan
