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.

    Pope knows that another goal conceded means nothing for his FPL points.

    salah eo 100+?

    1. suddenorgan
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      his O is less than 50% so no

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

        sorry - for noncasuals

        1. suddenorgan
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          In the Top 10K he's still only captained by 26.49% and he his EO is 75.6% according to Livefpl

      2. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        That's not how it works

        1. suddenorgan
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          if everyone captained Salah his EO would be 90.4%

        2. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Yes it is. But no one cares about overall EO, only serious managers EO

            • 13 Years

      You're forgetting the GWG bonus

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Not really, he scored one, who gives a damn about GWG

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Oh dear.

            1. Rainer
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              GWG is saving Aubas BAP, it matters.
