How Arsenal’s FPL assets fared under new manager Mikel Arteta on Sunday

Arsenal 1-2 Chelsea

  • Goals: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.8m)| Jorginho (£4.9m), Tammy Abraham (£7.8m)
  • Assists: Calum Chambers (£4.4m) | Mason Mount (£6.4m), Willian (£7.1m)
  • Bonus: Aubameyang x3, Willian x2, Abraham x1

Arsenal are showing signs of improvement under new head coach Mikel Arteta but they remain a work in progress and Fantasy managers will perhaps require further proof of an upturn in performance levels before they revisit the Gunners in earnest.

Arteta’s troops were the better team for large chunks of Sunday’s London derby and set about their visitors with venom, hassling and pressing Chelsea in the early stages in particular.

There were plenty of positives to take from this defeat.

The Gunners looked much better defensively than they had done under Unai Emery and more recently Freddie Ljungberg, with Chelsea not really carving out too many clear-cut opportunities until Bernd Leno‘s (£5.0m) error of judgement allowed Jorginho (£4.9m) to tap in Mason Mount‘s (£6.4m) floated free-kick delivery in the 82nd minute.

The sight of Pierre-Emerick Aubemayeng (£10.8m) haring back into his own half to help makeshift left-back Bukayo Saka (£4.5m) on more than one occasion was typical of the effort that the Gunners put in as a whole.

Even David Luiz (£5.7m) looked fairly competent at the back although the loss to injury of Calum Chambers (£4.4m), arguably Arsenal’s best centre-half on current form, could be a big blow.

Chambers limped off with what looked like a knee problem in the first half and Arteta said after full-time:

The doctors are assessing him. The first feeling he got, it wasn’t very positive.

Further forward, Alexandre Lacazette (£9.3m) still looks short of his best but Mesut Ozil‘s (£7.2m) renaissance continues, with the German midfielder impressing again in the number ten role – although he still has only two attacking returns to his name this season and he ‘assisted the assister’ for the hosts’ goal.

Reiss Nelson (£5.3m) was also bright on the right flank while Aubameyang’s role on the opposite wing didn’t mean that he was hugging the touchline, as we will discuss in the Members Analysis section below.

It was the Gabon international who put Arsenal in front, nodding in a flick-on from Chambers from a set-piece situation.

Reflecting on the game, Arteta said:

I’m really disappointed with the result and the way we conceded the goals, and the timing of them as well.

I’m pleased with a lot of things that I’ve seen. I’m pleased with a lot of things we worked on in training that actually happened in the game, and how they bought into this.

But I’m disappointed to lose the game obviously. We had to sustain that level for longer periods against a very, very physical team like Chelsea.

Physically it was tough to maintain the level Chelsea play at at the moment. We are asking them to do something different, to play at a different pace, much more aggressive and at the moment [of the second goal] they suffered.

Chelsea excelled in a 3-4-3 against Tottenham Hotspur in Gameweek 18 but Lampard has now abandoned the wing-back system early in each of the last two games, with the Blues shifting to a 4-3-3 and sacrificing Emerson (£5.5m) after just 35 minutes on Sunday.

Lampard’s side unsurprisingly gained more control of the midfield with N’Golo Kante (£5.0m), Mateo Kovacic (£5.3m) and Jorginho reunited in the middle of the park but it’s the constant shapeshifting and the lack of a fixed formation that remains offputting to Fantasy managers, as we’re never entirely sure how the Chelsea boss will send out his troops.

The victory over Spurs was perhaps the high point of the last month and this was the latest in a string of underwhelming displays, even if there was a definite improvement in the second half at the Emirates.

As mentioned earlier, it was a Leno error, rather than a moment of magic from the Blues, that led to the equaliser.

The match-winner came from an incisive Chelsea breakaway, with Willian (£7.1m) teeing up Tammy Abraham (£7.8m) for the striker’s first goal since Gameweek 15.

Abraham had been starved of service for the first hour but came into the game in the final third, heading a decent chance straight at Leno in the 74th minute and blazing over with normal time almost up.

Willian and Mount were similarly peripheral until the final 30 minutes, although both banked their eighth attacking returns of 2019/20 with assists for Chelsea’s goals.

In defence, the need for improvement at left-back was again apparent after Emerson’s latest horror show.

Only five teams have kept fewer clean sheets than Chelsea this season and the improvement at the back has been only modest since August, with even Antonio Rudiger’s (£6.0m) return not really having the desired solidifying effect.

Reflecting on the match, Lampard said:

When we played as we did at Tottenham last week, I probably would have questioned my sanity if I had come to Arsenal and we played four at the back and it had gone that way in the first half-hour.

For me the main thing in the first half-hour was not the tactics, it was the spirit and the fight. Arsenal were quicker, we were lethargic, they were brave, we were nervous.

We changed and it got better. Mikel Arteta is not silly. He saw us play at Tottenham and found a way to pin our five back. We had three men marking one at the back and they had numbers in midfield and they won all the second balls, and that had to change.

The response in the second half was everything I wanted. We have been rightly questioned recently. Everton away would be a good one, a team that had life breathed into them by a new manager and we didn’t react and it was quiet after that game in the dressing room and I did not like that, and some of our home games recently were lacking something.

This is not a turning point, it is only a turning point if we show it going forward, but we showed we can have a right go and win a game in a different way. At Tottenham we won it by playing really good football from beginning to end and today we won it by showing fighting spirit. If we can put them together then we will have a chance.

Christian Pulisic (£7.1m) was nowhere to be seen on Sunday, with his absence explained as precautionary due to a hamstring strain.

Reece James (£5.0m) and Marcos Alonso (£6.0m) also missed out through injury, with teenager Tariq Lamptey (£4.0m) playing at right-back for the final half an hour.

    Any thoughts on this lot? 1FT , 0.1 ITB

    Ryan
    TAA Rico Kelly Lundstrum Soy
    Salah KDB Maddison Mount Dendonker
    Vardy Rashford Tammy

    If I (c) Salah again and Mane hauls again...haha...but still leaning towards that option.

    1. fgdu

      tammy to ings. Maybe rico to the cheap watford def if you want to keep the attack as it is

    2. jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      That's what I hate about owning Salah I will feel obligated to captain him every GW now despite his lack lustre form!

    3. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I'd C Vardy or KDB

      1. Lav

        This

  2. jia you

    Just checked and another red arrow, my 7th in 8 GWs lol.
    I was so confident of a green going into Sunday but Salah(c), Jimenez and Lundy let me down badly in the end!
    A season to forget and why the hell did I get in Salah after avoiding him for 18 months of FPL!

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      you must have believed the Salah hype that a few pushed on here?

      The problem you have now is that he will be likely rested in the next game week .... many players will be again

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Nah, never really buy into the hype on here tbh! Was having a poor time of it wanted to buy myself an expensive Christmas gift in Salah in the hope that he'd explode or at least outscore Mane!

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          more in hope than anything and a bright new expensive toy ? yes I understand that only too well 🙂

          Holding off from Liverpool players had hit me hard, but now we have a huge rotation risk this game week and then 2 tough rivals when anything can happen ... GW24 still my target for them

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Yup haha...time enough, plenty of available options 🙂

      I've brought him in as well, he has good stats and he has been getting the chances. He could easily have scored last game. You're well set for the pool double game week with him as well

    2. Lav
      • 7 Years

      Would sort defense. Aurier out.

  4. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    I held on to Tammy, so I should probably stick with him for the next three, right? Especially if he's going to perform better away (bha, BUR, new)?

    1. Lav
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Assess after BHA. Burnley + Newcastle tricky.

  5. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    How many points did you score in December (6 GW's)?

    Site seems broken. Y'all have to manually calculate it.

    1. Lav
      • 7 Years

      397

    2. jia you

      not so subtle bragging going on here I get the impression 😉

  6. Lav

    Dont want to waste a FT. Suggestions?
    2 FT £1.4m itb

    Guaita 4.0
    TAA Soy Lund Rico 4.0
    Mane KDB Alli Grealish Cantwell
    Vardy Rash Jimenez

    1. Sgt. Schultz

      Villa really struggling. I'd think of Grealish OUT tbh.

      1. Sgt. Schultz

        Insane OR bud! Congrats!!

  7. jia you
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Thankfully I'm 0.1 off the Salah to Mane switch or I'd be even more tempted to revert to Mane!
    Have 2FTs so can still do it for free by downgrading Henderson!
    Decisions, decisions!!

    1. Lav
      • 7 Years

      Hendo to who?

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        4.0 and bank the 0.7, Have Pope also who will become Fabianski for his DGW possibly

        1. Lav
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Nice

          1. bombayblues
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Pope could get as much in one game as Fab does over two games. WHU defence not looking great atm.

            1. jia you
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              true, I might just hold Pope depends on how Burnley look over next few

    2. TorresMagic™

      Own both but may sell Salah after 1 GW in.

      1. Fitzy.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Get him back for GW24? Or double defence?

          Decide then. Salah more likely if goals are raining.

        5 returns in 8 games, 2 returns in the last 3 games? 6 good fixtures in the next 8 games? Talisman ?

        What had changed since you bought him ?

        1. SpaceCadet
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          McGinn's injury and Villa being crap in general. Think I should keep and save ft?

          1. Hotdogs for Tea
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            I would hold. We all probably have more pressing transfers to make this week or in the coming weeks

            1. SpaceCadet
              • 10 Years

          • 12 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Traore has scored the same points in those 8 games at nearly 1m less and in a better side, and people are looking at ways to get cash for maximum Liverpool for GW24.

          1. Hotdogs for Tea
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            very sideways but frees up cash for sure

            2 returns in the last 7, 3 good fixtures then 4 very tough fixtures, FA Cup v Utd followed by EL with 2 games a week ... I sense his boat has sailed ?

      3. Aftermath
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I went with C so maybe that. B sounds great too

      4. Hotdogs for Tea

        hope you didn’t sell ?

      Any Transfer Suggestions for my team, Peeps!

      2FT - 0.2 ITB

      Pope
      Kelly - Soy - TAA
      Willian - Richarlison - KDB - Mane - Alli

        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Looks good, I would replace Pope but I can see why you'd hold considering the fixture. Maybe to Connolly to greenwood for some cash and upgrade Pope to fab/Ryan next week?

        1. Sgt. Schultz
          • 7 Years

      Slight green arrow to end what I thought would be a miserable gameweek, used my ft to bring in Wood for one week punt.

      Looks gtg?

      Guaita
      TAA Chilwell Aurier
      Mane KDB Maddison Traore
      Aguero Vardy (C) Wood

      Button Kelly Lundstram Cantwell

      1. Sgt. Schultz

        I'd say dont take any Hits. Players can be benched for fun this GW.

        Like the Wood punt. Would go there if less fires although Burnley struggling to score.

        1. Aftermath
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Yep, I know that one week punts rarely work out but it's what keeps the game interesting for me and Villa look abject atm.

      I will never learn...
      Despite being into 40k slowly, all the good work undone in two weeks space.

      Selling TAA for Aurier and Getting Salah after not owning him for this long.

      Don't know, feels absolute pathetic :/

      1. Aftermath
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        You didn't know TAA was going to haul that big and it wasn't that crazy with auriers fixtures. Hold Salah, the secret to Liv mids is holding one and keeping faith.

        Good luck going forward

        1. Wally banter

            It's a good side...keep faith. I got rid of Mane for Son the other week against my better judgement so we're all guilty of it.

            I've got Pogba in my team somehow and no Liverpool mids so I'd be happier with your team!

              Losing grip in minileagues is such a disgusting feeling, while others with vardy cap getting kdb or mane vc

        People should be banned for mentioning Salah's name on here tbh.

        Salah this Salah that Salah running down the wing like a headless chicken.

        What a complete dunsky of a forward fetching me them red arrows like there is no tomorrow.

        Nonsense!

        1. Aftermath
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I know people here are saying that salahs stats have been better and he's playing more advanced but as a pool fan, mane is much more integral to the team than Salah atm.

          Additionally, an element of selfishness has creeped into his game which automatically isn't good for fpl as some may think. The quality of his shots has come down as did his assist potential

          1. Party time
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Absolutely agree.

              If I ever see Salah around me, I will make sure he is locked up in a dark room & a barber in there to cut his curly hair off for a skin head

              Either of these worth a hit folks?

              A) Aurier to TAA
              B) Henderson to Fabianski

                Tough to fit in really with other more traditional and perhaps better options

                Could be a great rotation option in a front 7 ?

              Is traore the real deal or is he a trap like Zaha?

                I guess we'll find out in the coming weeks with what seem to be easier fixtures. Does look full of confidence tho, let's hope for the best

                4 years, 3 months ago

                Can assist so less of a trap. Zaha has penalty assists at best.

                  VAR cancelled his assist recently (salty owner)

                i sense a trap, but he could be the next Josh King of a few seasons ago

                He's already been on my bench twice when he got double figure scores! On the first occasion, Son and Pulisic flopped, and on the second it was Moura and Pulisic. So I think the trap may be Spurs and Chelsea mids rather than Traore.

                • 14 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Real deal imo. Going to be spectacular the second half of the season based on how he's played in the first half.

                • 5 Years

                At that price, he's good deal

              Hi All,

              Best replecement for Gazzaniga and Aurier?

              Had Henderson and Gazza as rotation pair but Gazza is meh 🙂

              1. Tambling5
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Henderson's fixtures tough, Sheffield Utd worst fixtures in five -week season ticker. Trying to work out whether to swap for Ramsdale (best season ticker fixtures), or Fab with Moyes to sort out the defence. Thinking Fab atm.Any other views?

                1. rilo
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 9 Years
                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  It will be easy for me to get Ramsdsle or Fabiański but i have to decide about defender and it is hard choice. If Sheffield didnt have that hard fixtures I Would probably get Button and Sidibe/Digne

            7. Heavy Data
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              How's it looking

              Schmeichel
              Taa/kelly/rico/lund/dunk
              Mane/salah/kdb/martial/dend

              • 14 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              So Andy's TAA->Aurier has cost him 27 pts in 3 wks(Even with Aurier having 3 games and TAA 2)

              Ouch.

              1. Amey
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Aurier was a bad move ...
                I fell for it too

              2. NABIL - FPL otai
                • 11 Years

                wagon I enjoyed not jumping onto. Puli is the other one.

                • 8 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Rico, Kelly and the Son/Alli hokey kokey as the rest of his moves were pretty unlucky too .... held his rank though so damage limited

            9. Hotdogs for Tea
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              I reckon Pep will ask his front line players for one more game before a rest in the FA Cup.

              Wishful thinking as a Sterling & KdB owner ?

                Nah, it's perfectly reasonable. Got a week off anyway and city chasing

                    top 4, second place, but do you think Pep has given up the league in Dec ?

                      Top 4 is a given. 2nd spot is close. Liverpool is over until Pool lose or draw a game. Home record is ridiculous.

                          They are flat out passing Leicester, let alone Pool.

                            You are not really answering the question 😉

                            It is going to be hard or perhaps even impossible to get to Liverpool for sure, what they can practically achieve and what Pep hopes they can achieve may be two different matters ... so ...

                            .., do you think Pep has given up the league title in Dec ?

                              All City can do is win their games.
                              League is over by GW34 at the latest on current form.

                                I agree, but that is not my question lol, and it’s quite a simple one really ...

                                ... do you think Pep has given up the league title in Dec ?

                                  His optimism is shrinking each GW. Nobody is helping them bridge the gap.
                                  Even VAR won't help them.

                So is Evans actually a better defender to have than Soy?

                More points, more minutes, more nailed perhaps, more threat, more bonus points, more value (form & season), more assists and just 0.1 more expensive.

                  • 8 Years
                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  Soy at 4.5 is worth holding, maybe not worth buying at his current price though in comparison to other more attacking possibilities

                    • 11 Years

                    Perhaps.

                    Just sold him although got him at 4.5..slowly breaking up the template (TAA Rico Kelly Lund)
