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.

    This occurred on this weekend last season, never forget: https://twitter.com/JamieJackson___/status/1030762238964125697

    Maybe it’s Kings turn for a hatty after useless rumours...

        Destroyed my season. Caused me to make an awful start, chase points, panic, take hits, never recovered.

      Luckily I ignored him, but will never forgive him for that especially as it turned out he captained Aguero that GW too...

          That's good news now that he's starting. Watch him net a couple and dedicate them.

      1. Pinatta

        Wait for Lundstram

      2. Rock n Grohl

        Aarons at Norwich is a good rotation with Monty.

    10. Four Hit Wonder
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      60% of all posts here mention Trossard, Rico, Lundstram.

      Shouldn't you be preoccupied with players who actually score points, and not these no-good two-pointers-at-best that you're probably leaving on the bench anyway?

      1. Alisson WondHaaland
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Trossard has a good chance of racking up the points

      2. Supersonic Marv'
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Trossard is one of my starters.

      Ceballos could be incredible at 5.5, anyone thinking about making the move this week? Next 2 aren't great for Arsenal but after that the have a great run of games

      1. BEARZINHO
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        At 5.5 i’ll get him and hold - better than being priced out at 5.6

      2. Camzy

        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        No thanks for Liv and Tot. Don't care if he goes up from the casuals if he's going to get back to back 2 pointers.

        1. I Member

          if he turns out to be the real deal then he will still be value at 5.8

        Why would Potter change a team that won 3-0 they said. Trossard wont start they said.

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Making changes, is like, what Potter is all about.

        2. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Potter has said Trossard benefits from space to run in to. I expect him to play against high lines and attacking teams. Potter strikes me as a tinkerman, and a tactician.

          1. Four Hit Wonder
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Dammit, Jim, I'm a tinkerman, not a tactician!

          2. Piggs Boson
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            “Leo can play in the space, he is technically very good.
            “He is very good in terms of his intelligence and his decision-making, especially in the final third.... The physicality of the league here is higher but you have to just play to his strengths.
            “...As long you use what he has, then he is a talented player.”

        list of known traps:

            • 5 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            different system, different player after injuries

            • 13 Years

            The trap is fooling people into thinking he's a trap.

            1. EMBOLOFAN
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              😮

        2. Maddi Son
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Imagine thinking KDB is a trap.

        3. Supersonic Marv'
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          This is utter bobbins.

        6. Pukki Blinders
          • 4 Years

          Barkley should be 1st

          1. EMBOLOFAN
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            yes but i own him so hes not in the list

          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Don't think any of those are. Ceballos was really impressive today. Involved in everything, took set pieces, a couple of shots, 2 assists playing for an attacking Arsenal side at 5.5m.

          What's not to like?

          1. EMBOLOFAN
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            he’ll end season at 5.5

          Such good traps they trick you to think they're traps..

            • 9 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            KdB is a god, the Loki of mischief haunting 2018/2019 double gw KdB owners who capped him for 1 point, injury and all hope stolen.

          1. El Matador
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            He should come around 60 if it stays 0.0

        2. Yip Jaap Stam
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          can't believe it

          mind you, a price drop would be nice given the rises elsewhere.

          Glad I dodged that one. Mind you, King has been pretty awful so far.

        Any Evertonians know/think when Moise Kean will get a start?

        1. HNI
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          When he becomes moist enough

          you have to wait. All everton fans thought DCL would start the season and kean wasn't going to be thrown in. Kean will start games but maybe in a few games times

          When he gets strong enough. He was 67 kilos.

          To fit in the Fab 4 you have to make sacrifices 😉
