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.

    Hello Ramsey junior

    Too many casuals in here today. Not like me I’ve been watching YouTube videos of great managers all week, Fergie, Jose, Pepe Guardiola, Klopp, ancelotti, - helping me to get into the headspace of success and transfers!

      How many times you gonna tell us you’ve been watching these videos?

    Burnley should have at least back 5 against team like Arsenal. So easy for Auba.

  5. Dannyb

    Still time for another Auba......

  6. FPL Daniel

    I think Az has Cebalos. Well done Az

    1. Totally !rre!evant
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Don't think he does

    2. ENZO SZN™
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      He did Trossard to Ceballos?

  7. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Robinson over Ceballos they said

  8. Yip Jaap Stam
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    I guess most of the “auba outs” are off?

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

      Already sold him. Still a captain fail

    2. Conor1
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I will replace him with Kane fitness permitting.

  9. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    Oh Ceballossist

    Might be an option at 5.5 you know

    1. Totally !rre!evant
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Looks good

    2. Podge
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Really ?

    3. Crossologist
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      He’s intriguing me at that price but Mhiki would be a worry maybe

  10. SADIO SANÉ

    FPL option or not, Ceballos is quality

    1. Jimmy Boy
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Great signing for Arsenal

        1. Jimmy Boy
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Well played mate

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah he already looks light years ahead of Ozil in terms of what he brings to the team

      1. Jimmy Boy
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Ozil would never have won the ball like that in the buildup

      True quality

    Jammy Auba owners only own him because they can't afford Salah and Sterling...

  14. SirStevieG
    • 11 Years

  16. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Zinchenko to Ceballos? Yes or No?

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Ceballos is a mid

    2. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Lol

    3. Arn De Gothia
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      def to mid? great move...

    4. ENZO SZN™
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe last season if Zinchenko was still a mid.

  17. goriuanx

    Probably posted but Adrian starts for Liverpool. Via JamesPearceLFC

  20. Lukakuna
    • 7 Years

    Can't put Ceballos on the bench after this?

  21. Mr Arsenal

    Ceballos MVP this year - essential after Liverpool

    1. LosBlancos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Yup

      Salah and king to cebellos and auba done!

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years

        Boom

    • MITHRRANDIRR
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Ceballos @ 5.5, on set-pieces and CAM position for Arsenal a no brainer.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        New Ramsey

        1. MITHRRANDIRR
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Better, Ramsey wasn't even on set-pieces.

    • FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Cebalos on set pieces. He might be on penalties as well

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

        No way he's on pens. Auba's.

      2. Random Name
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Ceballos GOAT as well

      3. Demí
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Can't see it

    • Random Name
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Ceballos models his game after Iniesta. He definitely idolises him at least

    • Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      How on earth is it jammy if Aubameyang scores. Does he have to miss a load of chances before he's worth a goal?

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

        People are idiots.

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

          True

        2. Jafooli
          • 12 Years

          🙁

      2. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        It is not jammy. Totally deserved pts

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

        You must be new around here.

      4. how now brown cow

        Almost like some people talk shite.

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

        It's only Jammy if that certain individual doesn't have him.

      6. Mr Arsenal
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        If he were any good, he’d finish the season on 50 goals

      7. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        • 10 Years

        Well duh, get with the program

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I don't even own him, I just recognise he's lethal.

    • 3 A
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Emery can drop Ceballos anytime

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Naaah
        Watch the game

    • JELLYFISH
      • 12 Years

      Oh ye of little faith

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

      Might have to jump on the Ceballos price rise trains as want him long term
