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.

    Keep Henderson for now or change GK?

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

      If you think that Wham will score then change.

    2. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I would only do a GK transfer if I had two FT's and nothing else pressing to do (or if my GK had suffered a big injury and I had no sub keeper)

  2. FPL Pillars

    Hi All,

    Fab

    TAA Soy Lundy
    Salah Mane KBD Cantwell
    Vardy (c) Jiménez (vc) Ings

    Martin / Grealish / Kiko / Rico
    1FT 0.1ITB

    Good to roll FT?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Good team that ... play Grealish?

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        It’s going to go down to the wire that one. I can see Cantwell with more opportunity to return vs United then Grealish vs City.

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

      I would start Grealish over Cantwell.

    3. Ian J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Template team with Salah / Mane double up

  3. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    If you had Rashford and Martial, I presume you would keep for NOR home? The week after is LIV away ... which one to offload Martial or Rashford?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Keep. Rash or neither

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Will end up having neither by GW24 ... Maddison for Martial and Ings for Rashford ... crazy?

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Nice moves imo

          1. Magic Zico
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Cool thx

    2. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, I'd keep for next game and see what kind of response Utd show to that comprehensive beating by Arsenal.

      Beyond that I'd probably lose Martial

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers

    3. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Martial 1M more cheaper playing upfront for them and in good form, I'd lose Rash before Martial

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Cool

      2. thegaffer82
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I think Rashford's penalties, free-kicks and the fact he doesn't tend to get injured is worth the extra mil to be honest

  4. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on Schmeichel @ 5.4?

    Thinking of Aurier+Pope >> Holgate+Schmeichel.

    Pope
    TAA • Soy • Lundy
    Salah • Mané • Richarli • KDB • Grealish
    Vardy • Maupay
    (McGov. Greeny. Rico. Aurier)

    1. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Double Leicester DF could be a nice differential actually. Though I've got to say I'm not a fan of spending much more than 4.5 on my GK

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah I’m usually not but he does look a very good pick. Or I just go for Fabianski with the double in mind

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Bit too expensive ... Ryan/Fab Holgate/Sidibé?

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I can do Pope >> Fab with 1FT and roll if needs be

  5. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Would you do Maupay to DCL? not sure how else to use the FT (2ft & 0itb)

    Ryan
    TAA - Soy - Lunds
    Salah - Mane - Kdb - Martial
    Vardy - Jiménez - Maupay

    Subs: Mcgovern - Kiko - C.Taylor - Romeu

    1. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I like that move actually. See if you can ride the Ancelotti wagon for a while while they are looking good, before the inevitable dip comes...

  6. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Crystal ball time- FPL Cup prediction.
    A. Allison + Lundstram + 5 points.
    B. TAA + Salah (c).

  7. HTL
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Who would you prioritise removing?

    Ramsdale, Moura or Greenwood?

    Team is currently

    Ramsdale (Button)
    TAA - Holgate - Lundstram - Soyuncu - Kelly
    KDB - Salah - Mane - Traore - Moura
    Vardy - Jimenez - Greenwood

  8. Moose™
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Any ideas lads?

    Ryan Button

    TAA Soyuncu Lundy Rico Simpson

    Mane KdB Alli Grealish Cantwell

    Vardy Rashy Tammy

    1FT & 0 ITB

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

      very nice. wouldn't change anything atm

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

        actually I would consider alli to maddi

      2. Moose™
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah planned into saving FT to bring Salah or Robbo into GW24.

        Alli dropped today, hence I need to ride with him a bit longer.

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

          fair enough. good luck!

  9. Arteta
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Nine points off fourth. Can we do it?

    1. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Nope. Enjoy the new manager 'bump'. But the malaise at Arsenal is so deep that it's going to be a while before they are a top 4 side again (same goes for my team - Man Utd - by the way)

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

      Yeah, if you play like in that United game there is no reason you can't.
      Spurs, Chelsea and United will keep dropping points.

    3. st4rty
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Probably not, I'm convinced us (Chelsea) will pick up the pace again. Especially if we manage to bring in a couple of names this window. *prays for Werner*

    4. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Don’t think so, top four as is. Maybe not in the current order, but the teams in it now will be there at the end.

      Only watching the PL to see who finishes 18th and 19th.

  10. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Best transfer to make:

    A. Greenwood to DCL
    B. Pope to Fabianski
    C. Rico to Sidibe/Digne
    D. Save FT

    Team is:
    Pope (Button)
    TAA, Rico, Soyuncu, Lundstram, Kelly
    Salah, Mané, KDB, Martial, Grealish
    Ings, Abraham, Greenwood

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Probably B as it avoids the benching headache of DCL vs Grealish

    2. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      B

  11. PlayPercentage
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    What to do with Rico?
    - Keep as a fifth defender, may be useful for a DGW
    - Swap out for a cheap Watford defender
    - Swap out for a non-playing cheapo + cash

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

      Keep

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

      Wouldn't do C because Rico is cheap to begin with,

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Just keep. Perfect bench fodder/ occasional autosub

  12. Cojones of Destiny
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    lads pls
    a. Shelvey + Pope -> Cantwell (5th) + Ryan
    b. Shelvey + Alli -> Cantwell + Sarr
    both moves for free

  13. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Repost- Just looking for more opinions regarding my WC draft.

    How’s it looking?

    Fabianski Elliot
    TAA Robertson Sidibe Lundstram Dunk
    Mane KdB Richarlison Martial
    Vardy Ings DCL

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      **Snodgrass 5th mid

  14. BEEZUS
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Pogba and Alli out

    Pepe and Maddison in?

    2 FT so no hit.

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

      Yeah, why not although Pepe is a lot of money IMO.

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      If Pepe was cheaper I’d say worth a punt. You don’t fancy Rich with those fixtures?

  15. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Any reason not to do Alli to Richarlison?

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

      Do it.

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Prob not. But...

      If you have DCL you may not want the double up.

      If you need to get a 3rd LIV player and this will make it harder to do may be better to downgrade further to have the cash.

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

      I did it

    4. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I did Alli to Maddison, Richarlison a great option tho, just think Maddison more better for bonus.

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

        Rich is s lot bigger differential though which sealed it for me

  16. The Head-Ake
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Is Grant Hanley a good fodder option?

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Only if you need every last 0.1 of funds and he will sit at 3rd on the bench imo

    2. OLLY G
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Nailed at 4m, so great for bench fodder and fund unlocking.

    3. beric
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

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

      I'd rather have Brandon Williams from Utd.

      Should get some gametime and they have a higher clean sheet chance in any match than Norwich. Plus, he or Hanley will usually be 3rd sub anyway.

  17. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    RP from a few pages back as three replies gave 3 different answers and I haven’t a clue which I prefer tbh!

    Weighing up my moves between now and GW24 - which do you prefer?

    A) Alli, Willems > Grealish, Robbo/VVD (benching headache between DCL and Grealish every week)
    B) Alli, Willems > Cantwell, Robbo/ VVD (£1.7-2.3m itb and less benching headache)
    C) Alli, Martial > Salah, Dendo
    D) Alli, Martial, Willems > Salah, Cantwell, Kiko
    E) Something else entirely!

    Guaita, McGovern
    TAA, Soy, Lunds, Rico, Willems*
    Mané, KDB, Maddison, Alli*, Martial*
    Vardy, Ings, DCL

    Thanks

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

      Think I like B or C

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks mate. It’s a massive decision this double mids vs double def. You need a crystal ball to get it right!

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

      C for sure!

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks! I like the certainty! Lol

    3. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      C

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers boss.

        I’m definitely leaning towards Salah/ Mané rather than the defensive double up.

        If I go for C I will wait and do it for free, giving Martial the NOR match.

        The only issue is I would have 0.1m left atm so more than one price change in the wrong direction and I’m in trouble!

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

          I’ve already been priced out of a long term move by Alli dropping in price, everyone says wait until the cup games, but the madness of price changes this season makes it hard to wait.

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Yep the changes have been unprecedented this season. Very frustrating!

            You going for the Salah/ Mané combo?

  18. Tshelby
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on this move?

    2FT/1.1 ITB

    Guaita, Button
    Kelly, Kiko, Lundstram, Soy, TAA
    Mane, Alli, Richarlison, KdB, Hayden
    Ings, Jimenez, Vardy

    Alli and Kelly -> Grealish and Robbo

    Double pool defense?

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Good

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Looks good to me if that’s the route you prefer mate!

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

    Anyone considering West Ham players for DGW? If so, who?

    1. st4rty
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Fabi that's it.

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

      Fabianski and maybe Haller although my experience of having him between gw4-11 is horrible.

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

      None as of now.

    4. beric
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Fab

    5. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Fabianski + Snodgrass

    6. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Felipe Anderson most likely my Zaha replacement.

  20. OLLY G
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    (A) Bring in Salah for Spurs away -4

    (B) Play Martial Norwich H and bring Salah in for free GW after

    Thanks

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      B

    2. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      B for sure. Don't lose Martial before Norwich

    3. Klip Klopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Definitely B.

    I took Grealish out last week and have now dropped 150k places! Can I get a bit of advice?

    Ramsdale
    Lundstrum, Rico, TAA
    Grealish, Alli, Salah, KDB
    Vardy, Rashford, Abraham

    Button, Kelly, Tomori, Dendoncker

    1FT and 0.9 itb

    A. Tomori/Lundstrum + Alli --> Sidibé + Maddison for -4?
    B. Bring Grealish back and get rid of Traore?
    C. Any other suggestions?
    B.

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

      Keep Traore for the next few fixtures. How about Alli -> Maddi for free

    2. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A (drop Tomori)

    3. beric
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Save ft this week, certainly wait till after the cup

    4. OLLY G
      • 7 Years

      Personally l would do either:

      Alli to Maddison/Martial

      Or save FT

      i took out Tammy for Ings this GW to free up funds for Pool triple up, probably with Salah. Your transfer depends on your Pool plan imo.

      (A) If you're going to go double defence l would ditch Alli as above

      (B) If you going for Salah or unsure, l would save your FT

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I have Salah already so I might do double defence. What is your pool plan?

        1. OLLY G
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Oh yeah, in your case l mean get Mane in.

          Probably going TAA, Salah and Mane. Rotation is a worry though but i'm sick of hiding behind the sofa when l only own one of the Pool big hitters, especially considering double gameweek 24 and their great fixtures after.

          Some very good forward enablers in Ings, Calvert-Lewin and Deeney now.

    How did Rich look yesterday?

  26. Woy_is_back
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Sterling looks like the best captaincy option next gw

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

      Why?

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

        Got rested. Villa defence worst in the league. Sure Mings is back but wont help much vs City offense

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

          Heaton might be out too

    2. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      As long as Vardy gets over his injury then he's nailed on (C) for me.

  27. Klaren

    Looking for a Gazzaniga replacement. Who do you guys reckon is the best option for the next 10 GWs or so?

    Currently considering Ryan or Schmeichel (have Soyuncu). Fabianski perhaps could also be a good option but not a big fan of the fixtures.

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

      Ryan all the way

    2. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      It’s probably worth mentioning funds is not an issue but don’t want Alisson.

    3. Volley127
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I'm in a similar position. I'm actually thinking Henderson.

      After Liverpool today, it's only really City at home and Arsenal away (debatable) are the tough ones. Coupled with Shef Utd defensive record this season I think I'm going this route.

      I did Fabianski but I also have Henderson too will loose Fab after gameweek 25

    With Wesley possibly out for the season, does it make Kodjia a viable option up front for the next month or so?

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Surely they are going to sign a replacement

    2. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He should play but he looked even worse than Wesley from what I’ve seen and Wesley wasn’t a good FPL option.
