Arteta’s Arsenal show signs of defensive improvement in United victory

Arsenal 2-0 Manchester United

  • Goals: Nicolas Pepe (£9.1m), Sokratis (£4.9m)
  • Assists: None
  • Bonus: Sokratis x3, Bernd Leno (£5.0m) x2, Pepe x1

Earlier this week we wrote about the green shoots of recovery shown by Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal in their defeat to Chelsea.

There was further encouragement on New Year’s Day, with the Gunners deserved winners over the Jekyll-and-Hyde outfit that is Manchester United.

The matches in Gameweeks 20 and 21 followed a similar pattern, with the difference this time being that Arsenal had established a more comfortable two-goal cushion by the time their energy levels were depleted.

The north London side look much hungrier under their new head coach, with their all-action, high-pressing approach clearly borrowed from the Manchester City playbook.

It’ll take a while for Arteta to fully get his methods across to this Arsenal squad, who are, by their own admission, not fit enough to carry out their manager’s demanding gameplan for a full 90 minutes.

The Gunners were gasping for air in the second half, with a flagging Alexandre Lacazette (£9.3m) pleading to be substituted and Lucas Torreira (£4.7m) scoffing an energy bar as his own limbs seized up.

Interviewed after the game, David Luiz (£5.7m) said:

We have to be honest and admit physically we are not ready, but you have to show heart and this team is ready to change a lot of things.

Arteta himself added:

That wasn’t the plan [to sit back in the second half], I have to admit, but at the moment we are suffering a little bit to maintain the intensity we had in the first half. I think it will come, it is part of the process, the way we train, but at the moment we don’t have much time to do so.

It might be that we don’t really see the fruits of Arteta’s labour until 2020/21, then, after the Gunners have had a full, intensive pre-season under their new boss.

The impact has been immediate, though, and Fantasy managers will be watching with interest ahead of some appealing fixtures for the Gunners in Gameweeks 25-32.

We FPL bosses have largely dodged the Arsenal defence for a while now but it is at the back where the Gunners look most improved, with the sight of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.8m) diligently covering his left-back and even Mesut Ozil (£7.2m) tracking back from the number ten role summing up the collective approach to defending.

It was only an error from Bernd Leno (£5.0m) that let Chelsea back into the game last Sunday and, with the Gunners not shooting themselves in the foot this time around, United never seriously looked like getting back into the game.

Names we have all smirked at over the past couple of years – Luiz, Sokratis (£4.9m), Sead Kolasinac (£5.2m) and Ainsley Maitland-Niles (£4.6m) – were all superb at the back, with Torreira and Granit Xhaka (£5.1m) covering expertly in front of them.

Carry on like this and we may even have to start considering them for the weeks and months ahead.

Nicolas Pepe (£9.1m) was named in the starting XI for the first time by Arteta, impressing down the right flank and opening the scoring when converting a deflected cross from Kolasinac.

Pepe later struck the upright and created chances for Lacazette, Aubameyang and Torreira in an eye-catching 62-minute showing.

Arsenal’s two premium FPL forwards contributed majorly to the cause without having too many sights of goal, with Lacazette screwing his best chance wide after making a fool out of Harry Maguire (£5.2m) and Aubameyang volleying his only shot of the game off-target.

Mesut Ozil (£7.2m) continues to sparkle in ‘the hole’, meanwhile, but there is a sense that he might not be the most explosive FPL asset in the mid-price midfield bracket, given that he’s had only one shot since Arteta took charge.

After back-to-back wins over Newcastle United and Burnley, the Red Devils treated us to one of their meek away-day specials at the Emirates.

For the money that we pay for the likes of Anthony Martial (£7.9m) and Marcus Rashford (£9.1m) in FPL – not unsubstantial but hardly top-dollar, either – we have become accustomed to swallowing the occasional dismal display in the knowledge that a haul may be just around the corner.

United started the brighter of the two teams, with Rashford forcing Leno into a save early on, but a positive opening ten minutes gave way to a fairly poor performance, with Maguire’s close-range header on the stroke of half-time as close as the Red Devils came to finding a way past Leno.

Martial indeed didn’t have a single shot, while Rashford was wasteful and Daniel James (£6.1m) and Jesse Lingard (£6.3m) were anonymous as the United attack failed to click.

The likes of Maguire and Luke Shaw (£5.4m) were pretty ropey at the back, too, as they have been for much of 2019/20.

Still, bottom-of-the-table Norwich (who the Red Devils play next in the league) offer Rashford and co an immediate chance at redemption, just as Newcastle did after the Gameweek 18 loss to Watford.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s troops will likely be without Paul Pogba (£8.4m) when they next play in the Premier League, with the United boss saying of the Frenchman in his post-match presser:

He’s injured now and he’ll probably need an operation on his foot. And let’s see how long it takes for him to get back.

We’ve had scans and while it’s nothing major, it’s something that has to be sorted and dealt with, within a timeframe. He’s been advised to do it as soon as possible.

It’s a big blow that Paul is out now – he’ll probably be out for three or four weeks – and Scott will be out for a few months. Scott has been magnificent and we hoped Paul could come back. He can’t – he’ll be back within a month or so. 

On the injury front at Arsenal, Sokratis, Xhaka and Kolasinac were back in the starting XI after recent absences, although the latter seemed to aggravate his ankle problem before being substituted in the second half.

Dani Ceballos (£5.2m) was on the bench, too, but failed to get on.


Arsenal XI (4-2-3-1): Leno; Maitland-Niles, Sokratis, Luiz, Kolasinac (Saka 69′); Torreira, Xhaka; Pepe (Nelson 63′), Ozil, Aubameyang; Lacazette (Guendouzi 82′).

Manchester United XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; Fred, Matic (Mata 81′); James (Greenwood 59′), Lingard (Pereira 59′), Rashford; Martial.

    This worth a -4?

    Tomori + Alli -> TAA + Mooy

    Will end up with:

    Ryan
    TAA, Lund, Rico
    Mané, Kdb, Maddison, Traoré
    Vardy, Rashford, Ings

    Button, Mooy, Soy, Kelly

    1. Offs!de
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      TAA is a long term investment. When he is fit, he is essential

    2. NestorC
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Don't like mooy tbh

    3. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Pick cheaper bench player imo but moves look good

  2. Offs!de
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Who is the best possible replacement of Dele Alli?
    a) Martial?
    b) Pepe?
    c) F Andersen/ Other mid from West Ham?
    d) Other mid suggestion?
    .
    My Fron lines look like:
    Salah, KDB, Madisson, Grealish
    Vardy, Ings, DCL

    1. NestorC
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Looking at Martial or Richarlison, you are not interested in Everton asset?

      1. Offs!de
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I already have DCL. Is it wise to double up or play safe with Martial?

        1. NestorC
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Didn't see Dcl, in that case I would probably play safe with Martial, if we can call it that way

  3. Lucas8406
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Who scores more in the next gws
    A) DCL
    B) Grealish

    1. Offs!de
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A may be. City have shown much improvement defensively in last match

      1. NestorC
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Could be A

  4. Maddamotha
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Best option here?

    A) Save
    B) Guaita > Fabianski
    C) Targett > Holgate
    D) Smth else

    Guaita
    TAA, Soy, Lundstram
    Salah, KDB, Martial, Maddison
    Vardy, Abraham, Jimenez

    Button, Dendo, Rico, Targett

    1. NestorC
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A

  5. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Want to get Mané in for the double, and can easily downgrade Kane to get some spare cash. Best moves for the double?

    A) Kane + Martial -> DCL + Mané + 0.8
    B) Soy, Grealish, Kane -> 4.0, Mané, DCL (-4 or over two GWs)

    Full team
    Ramsdale McGovern
    TAA Lundstram Sidibe Soy Kelly
    Salah KDB Martial Grealish Cantwell
    Vardy Kane Ings

    1. tucaoneo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A

    2. benbro
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Surely A.

      Why the desire to axe Soyuncu?

      With Kelly and Sidibe you might need him?

    3. NestorC
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A

    4. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      -2 but give Martial this gw.

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        A sorry. Idk where - 2 came from

  6. ResultatFar
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I really want Jimenez for the upcoming fixtures, who to downgrade in order to upgrade Greenwood?

    A) Alli
    B) Grealish
    C) Maddi

    1. NestorC
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A

    2. Herman Toothrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Alli seems to be the distasteful flavour of the moment.

    3. Le Bluff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Jimenez's consistency is unrivalled but why the need to get him now because of upcoming fixtures?

      NEW, sou, LIV, mun, LEI isn't the most appealing of runs.

      1. ResultatFar
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        He has done well against the big clubs both last season and this one. One of the best counterattacking players in the league in my opinion. NEW, sou and mun in the next 4 looks very tasty to me

  7. NestorC
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Would you rather have Martial or Richarlison?

    1. Bavarian
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Rich

    2. Le Bluff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      It's close, but Martial just.

      Still feel that Utd will score more goals than Everton, and Martial's goal involvement is high.

      1. NestorC
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, I also think Martial is more explosive, so he could haul easier.

  8. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Good to save?

    Hendo
    TAA Perreira Lund
    KDB Mane Martial Alli
    Vardy Maupay ings
    (Martin, Cantwell, Rico, Aurier)

    1. Klein
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Good enough. I have similar 11 somewhat. Was thinking Alli to Rich or save. What do you think?

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Think I'll be saving. 2ft will be nice

  9. Le Bluff

    Watched the second half of the Villa match yesterday and it was my first time as a Grealish owner so paid more attention to his performance.

    The lad was everywhere, and is a class player. Carries the ball so well, and the formation suited him as he was playing just off Wesley. 3rd for Chances Created over the last 4 games and joint 2nd for Key Passes.

    I was thinking of shipping him out due to Villa's struggles but, like Danny Ings, I think there's something to be said for the 'Talisman' theory when it comes to players like Grealish.

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yep his mixed fixtures will still do him ok - literally no need to switch out

      1. Le Bluff
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        City at home is a difficult fixture, but then comes bha, WAT, bou, TOT - all which he's capable of returning points. And you feel that when Villa do score, Grealish will likely be involved.

        Hoping that Wesley's injury isn't too serious.

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Exactly- cheap enough to bench as well

    2. NestorC
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Thanks for the insight. Was also looking to downgrade since he is my 5th mid and I have strong front 8. This week he was on my bench, but I was lucky enough for Vardy no show.

      1. Le Bluff
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I could do Abraham & Grealish > DCL and Martial but not convinced on that.

        Abraham is testing my patience though!

        1. NestorC
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I am looking at just Abraham to Dcl or Ings.
          The Chelsea fixtures are turning me of though. Hard to sell this week since I need to deal with Alli and Tomori first.

    3. Bavarian
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yes I'm keeping

  10. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Best replacement for Gazzaniga?

    A. Flappyhandski
    B. Ryan
    C. Leno
    D. Allisson (but valuable Liv slot)
    E. Someone else

    Thanks

    How's the way to bring another Liverpool defender?
    Have 1FT and 0.7itb

    1. tucaoneo
      • 5 Years

      If you bought Sidibe it's a bit weird to sell him now. A (sell Kelly over Lord) or C are both fine.

      1. Bavarian
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers mate

      2. NestorC

        I agree with this

    2. Danno - Emre Canada

    If Salah doesn’t play, my vc is vardy and off the bench is Rico for -1, please Klopp don’t rotate today

    1. Fozzyb34r
      • 9 Years

      I think you’re safe. Surely he’ll want to maintain the gap in the league and rest players in the cup

      1. Babit1967

        Hopefully mate

    Could use some help.

    Guaita (Button)
    TAA Soy Holgate
    Grealish Maddison KDB Mane
    Ings Vardy Rashford

    Bench: Aurier Rico Cantwell

    2 FT, 1.9 ITB.

    I want 3rd pool before dgw.

    a) Guaita&Auriel -> Ryan & Robertson
    b) Rashford&Maddison -> Maupay/DCL&Salah
    c) Other ideas?

    1. fish&chips
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A for me

  15. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Thinking of doing Alli >

    1) Sarr
    2) Rich
    3) Martial

    Which is the better move

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A for fun
      B for points

      1. Wally banter
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        So u saying Sarr is a bad pick? I also have a similar situation and i can get only either of Sarr or Grealish..

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          No, in my opinion he is a very good pick, would have got him asap if I could.

          Its just that picks like this can often go wrong or we might be late. As of now, signs are positive and I expect him to do well in upcoming weeks.

          Grealish is also good, pretty consistent as well.

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

    Any chance of a Lundstram no show today?

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      That would likely result in lots of rico-1 points from the bench

      1. maratus
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Well I expect Lundstram to score 0-1p so its about the same anyway.

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years

      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Looks good for this week but after Norwich comes Liverpool, I'm not expecting much.

      McTominay out for months, Pogba out for weeks - our midfield is not looking good.

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

      Good move

      Rash will keep ticking, he really should have went with his head for that late chance - and they looked instantly better when Pereira came on for Lingard last night

      Arsenal put in the performance of a lifetime too - nearly every player was down with cramp towards the last 10 minutes, i’ve Rarely seen chasing/closing down like it - a classic new manager bounce - not sure it’s physically sustainable

      1. Mr. Mystic
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks. I still fancy Abraham to keep collecting points which is the dilemma atm

  18. jayzico

    Took a -8 after another rubbish gw. Kinda looks like a WC team. Who should I be looking to bring in with 0.8ITB?

    Grilish train gone or still fuel in it? Fixtures look decent after next week.

      Cheap and consistent for the price - what’s not to like

      1. Klein
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Missed all of his points to date though. Also depends on Alli after son's return.

    Hello

    Schmeichel Button
    Taa Pereira Aurier Lundy Rico
    Mane Alli Zaha Martial Cantwell
    Vardy Rashford Ings

    Thinking about doing - Alli/Pereira/Aurier - KDB/Soyuncu/Dunk
    Any advice? siting at 100k

    1. ResultatFar
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      KDB is a season keeper, so yes! How about Zaha + Martial -> KDB + whoever you can afford?

      1. ResultatFar
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Or Zaha + Alli of course -> KDB

  24. Roy Rovers

    Thoughts on how to use these 2 FT.

    Ryan
    Aurier Soy Kelly
    Sterling Salah KDB Grealish Cantwell
    Vardy Rashford

    Martin Greenwood Rico Lundstram

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Aurier to Gomez?

  25. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    2FTs

    Pukki to Connolly
    Aurier to Robertson

    Worth it?

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      If 3-5-2/4-4-2 then yes

    2. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Connolly a starter for you?

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Nope, just a backup if incase required

        1. The 12th Man
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Probably an ok move then.

          1. Holmes
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            4.6m defender and Jimenez is also an option but that means I wont be able to get a LIV defender.

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I feel Robbo is a tad expensive

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Van Dijk better?

        Have never owned Robertson for some reason 😛

  26. CONNERS
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I wonder how many people will be getting Rico's -1 off the bench in place of Vardy's zero? Harsh.

    1. The Dribbler
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I could be so lucky if mane, salah or taa don't play...

      Me!

      Switched Lundstram and Rico as first sub pretty late. Probably regretting that 😉

    3. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Vardy(C) and Aguero(VC), Rico in from bench.

    4. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I played him, ha.

  27. Jamb0
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    No pressing issues, 2FT's, and exact funds to do Kane -> Aguero... Yay or Nay?

  28. Kimmich
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Any changes anybody would make?

    Fabianski - Ramsdale
    TAA - Soyuncu - Holgate - Webster - Lundstram
    Salah - Mane - KdB - Martial - Cantwell
    Vardy - DCL - Ings

    1. Kip
      • 10 Years

      Moped=> DCL?
      Or Rico=> Kiko if the latter is declared fit

  30. Kip
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Is Fabianski really a better option then Guaita ‘till gw30 something?

    Despite the dgw, i’d think Guaita outscores fab due to the superior fixtures

    1. Sid07
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Think fabianski might outscore
