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.

    Got to save that Pope

      Shouldn't have been allowed to get the shot off. Great from Lacazette but really poor from Pieters.

    Lacazette ending everyone's week with pope already. My guy

      Nobody owns Pope for away clean sheets. 4 years on the board you should know that

      1. Random Name

        the sorta thing a salty pope owner would say

    2. Ha.

      He’s still got more points than Button

    Peters will be out of the team next week for that.

    Ceballos would be a great pick but surely Ozil, Mhki and Pépé (formation change) are a threat. Regardless of what you think of Ozil there no way he doesn’t get a game.

      Ramsey role, could be nailed

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

      That's not his competition. He's a Xavi, a Ramsey, a Modric, a Dilva.

            4 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah - very high possibility they just have 'switched-on' a component.

      5. gamesmad11

        Does this work only after a deadline?

        How can this be useful if we can only see the transfers after the deadline?

        Your buddy up there chewed me out about my 4 years because "Pope is only for home games" and you've got 9

      No striker in the world is better facing away from goal than lacazette, did it a few times last season too notably against Liverpool

          FPL losing its fun element

          - Cant see other teams TV
          - Cant see other teams transfers

            • 13 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            I understand transfers, but why would you care about someone else's team value?

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

              So you can laugh at them when you realise they can't make certain moves without taking hits

            2. HurriKane
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Trying to predict their transfers before gw based on tv to stay one step ahead mate. crucial at later stages in ml

            • 8 Years

            Probably Mark that changed it because of all the stalkers trying to copy his moves

          4. @persecuted_by_mods
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Fpl becoming more fun now awful players have to make their own moves instead of copying good players

              Was just about to ask that, do you now have to manually check their previous gameweek to see what transfers your rivals have made?

            Luiz joined arsenal so that if guendouzi does any good work in the box ppl would credit it to luiz

            1. goriuanx
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Or maybe he joined Arsenal so that when he makes his usual errors, people blame Guendouzi.
