Is it time to invest in Arsenal assets after Gameweek 28?

Sitting inside the top 5k after Gameweek 27, FPL Family’s Sam has one eye on Arsenal assets after their upcoming blank.


The Tottenham Hotspur fan in me hates to think too much about the other side of north London. However, where FPL is concerned, the desire to improve one’s overall rank and win those all-important mini-leagues means that sometimes we have to put loyalties aside and bring in some of those players that in real life we don’t necessarily want to do well!

With my team set for Blank Gameweek 28, I’m now looking ahead to Gameweek 29 and thinking about what my strategy might be between now and the Wildcard, which I’m currently planning to use somewhere around Gameweek 30.

By then, we will know more about the Blank and Double Gameweeks as well as who has progressed in both the UEFA Champions League and Europa League competitions, so this will inform my planning in terms of which teams I want to heavily invest in for the run-in.

At the start of Mikel Arteta’s tenure at Arsenal they, at times, struggled to find consistency both from week to week as well as within games. Whilst this hasn’t completely disappeared from their locker, we are beginning to see the Arsenal that Arteta is trying to create and therefore what his matchday teams and formations are more likely to look like.

This improvement in performances, coupled with a better understanding of the players that Arteta is building this new-look Arsenal team around, means that there are a few assets who look to be coming to the fore – especially given Arsenal’s fixtures between now and Gameweek 35, when we have the second north London derby of the season.

The new manager bounce, a lovely run of fixtures, and Arsenal players who seem happier and are thus playing better football means that they are fast becoming key to most FPL managers’ thoughts and plans.

Their early elimination from the Europa League can surely only be a boon for us Fantasy bosses, too, with the fixture schedule looking a lot less packed.

My decisions for Gameweek 28 were in part based on having enough money to bring in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m) ready for Gameweek 29. But with this nice run of fixtures and with more consistency in terms of the starting line-ups, is it as simple as just bringing in Aubameyang or are there other options that we should consider either alongside or instead of the Gabonese striker?

With my Free Hit chip safely tucked away in my back pocket, owning more than one Arsenal asset feels like a sensible idea through this nice run, especially as we know that they will have at least one Double Gameweek in this period as a result of missing their fixture in Gameweek 28. So who makes a good potential FPL asset over this run of matches?

All of the stats used in this article are from Gameweek 19 onwards, when Arteta took charge of his first Arsenal match, unless otherwise stated.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

For much of Arteta’s tenure so far, Aubameyang has been mostly deployed out left. As a premium striker, this isn’t where we ideally want him to be playing.

However, for Aubameyang this role has suited him in terms of the job he is doing for Arsenal and FPL managers alike.

In the seven games that Aubameyang has played under Arteta, he has six attacking returns, thus showing that actually his positioning on the pitch isn’t having the negative impact on his returns which we feared it might.

The Gabon international has an xG of 2.84 and an xGI of 3.42 over the period studied, although obviously he also has a red card and a two-match suspension in that time.

When you compare Aubameyang and Sergio Aguero (£11.9m) over the last four Gameweeks, Aubameyang comes out on top in most of the key areas including goals, xA, goal involvement, shot accuracy as well as total BPS and baseline BPS.

Alongside the stats over the last four Gameweeks, Aubameyang also has the nicer set of fixtures and he is a full £1m cheaper than his Manchester City counterpart.

From Gameweek 29 onwards, Aubameyang seems like the striker that it is going to be the more appealing to own. He has already risen in price ahead of Gameweek 28 (when he blanks!) and I can see that trend continuing once this Friday’s deadline has passed and the fixture against West Ham in Gameweek 29 draws nearer.

Nicolas Pepe

When Nicolas Pepe (£9.2m) arrived at Arsenal we, as FPL managers, were all expecting big things.

With returns in only five matches between Gameweeks 1 and 25, however, he has somewhat underwhelmed.

Gameweek 26 seemed to signal a change, for both Pepe himself and Arsenal. Newcastle United played incredibly well for the first half but Arsenal’s dominance in the second half of a 4-0 win, coupled with Pepe’s 17-point haul, showed what the winger and Arsenal are capable of.

This, followed on by a win against Everton in Gameweek 27 alongside another assist for Pepe, has thrown him into the premium midfielder conversation.

Pepe now seems to have the confidence of his manager, having secured back-to-back starts, and has found his own confidence in himself. This makes him an interesting FPL option as well as a lovely differential, given that his ownership is just 3.5%. At a time when options in the premium midfield bracket are in short supply, Pepe, with the nice fixtures to come, might just offer a solution to our problems.

Pepe’s £9.2m price tag does put me off somewhat, simply because we are yet to see him deliver on a regular basis. However, given the fixtures and his differential ownership, I think he could be worth the transfer for the next few weeks, especially as he is easy to downgrade if his or Arsenal’s performances dry up again.

Bukayo Saka

When Sead Kolasinac (£5.2m) was forced off through injury on Sunday and Bukayo Saka (£4.5m) came on to replace him, we suddenly had another option for our cheap fifth midfielder spot.

Over the course of the season, there have been numerous players who have held that spot in many FPL teams – Leander Dendoncker (£4.4m) and Todd Cantwell (£4.8m) being two of the most popular options.

Fixtures, form and, in Dendoncker’s case, the desire for FPL managers to own other Wolves assets, have meant that there is definitely scope for a change.

With the way Saka has performed of late, it is even possible to view him as a fourth midfielder if you want to build a squad which contains the likes of Mohamed Salah (£12.8m), Sadio Mane (£12.4m) and Aubameyang etc.

Normally, Saka is the kind of ‘out of position’ player who we would avoid. Playing in defence for Arsenal, yet listed as a midfielder in FPL, means that he doesn’t benefit from the full four clean sheet points should Arsenal keep one.

However, his heatmap shows that he spends very little time in defence and the majority of games in attacking positions:

Saka now has three assists in the last five Gameweeks and, as a result of the injury to Kolasinac, he could now get a regular spot in the starting line-up, which at £4.5m and just 1.6% ownership, is music to the ears of FPL managers.

With only two attacking returns over the course of Gameweeks 1-25, we should remember that this form is new and thus may not be consistent.

He also may lose his starting position when Kolasinac is available again or when Kieran Tierney (£5.3m) returns from injury. However, at £4.5m, he is worth the place in our squads as he appears to be hitting form and getting a spot in the starting line-up at the right time for the nice run of fixtures that Arsenal are about to embark on.

Are there any other options?

There are other options in the Arsenal team for us as FPL managers, such as Mesut Ozil (£7.2m), Alexandre Lacazette (£9.3m) and Bernd Leno (£5.0m).

For me, their returns (or the starts, in Lacazette’s case) just aren’t consistently there and thus the likes of Saka, Pepe and Aubameyang are far better picks for your FPL teams.

Lacazette is struggling for game-time with the likes of Eddie Nketiah (£4.3m) and Gabriel Martinelli (£4.6m) striving for minutes and therefore it seems that there is only one Arsenal forward worth investing in at the moment.

Conclusion

Arsenal do seem to be finding form, consistency and the ability to grind out a result, as shown against Everton, at the right time for their lovely run of fixtures.

Looking at the upcoming matches, recent results and individual form, Arsenal seem to be a really good investment opportunity right now.

With Arsenal now only four points behind Manchester United in fifth, it is all to play for in terms of UEFA Champions League qualification.

When an individual player has form, fixtures and motivation, I buy. The Gunners have all of those things and therefore maybe just one Arsenal asset isn’t enough.

Ahead of Gameweek 29, I’ll be bringing in Aubameyang, either in a swap with Roberto Firmino (£9.7m) to allow the Liverpool defensive double-up or to replace Jamie Vardy (£9.7m) if he blanks again against Norwich City on Friday.

However, Saka looks too good an opportunity to turn down, so I might line up a Cantwell to Saka transfer to give me an Arsenal double-up ahead of this favourable fixture run.

  4. Strchld
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Really hard to decide which one to bring on, Maddison or Barnes. Could someone help? Do we expect Barnes to start next games?

    1. Naboo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      100% Barnes. Considering Maddison > Barnes next week myself (see below)

    2. thewhitepele
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Would go for Barnes, Maddison has blanked for ages

    3. Babelcopter
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Barnes starts 100%. Pick him

      1. kamdaraji
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        you really can't say 100%

        1. kamdaraji
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          highly likely yes but not certain to start at all

        2. Babelcopter
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I'm ITK

    4. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      One of those two is nailed.

  5. Naboo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    In a bit of quandary as I imagine many are this week. Here's my team for this GW and my thinking for the next few weeks...

    Pope
    TAA Gomez Soy Fernandez
    Salah Maddison *Traore/Cantwell*
    Vardy Jimenez Ings

    Bench: *Traore/Cantwell* Kelly KDB - ITB: 3.1

    I think it is super important to save a FT if at all possible this GW with so many unknowns at this point.

    Of course it is very tempting for me to use my FT for Traore to either Richarlison or Bruno, but I will be holding for the following reasons.

    1. I want 2FTs for possible DGW 29 - saving would allow me to keep Vardy for WHU and do Maddison & Ings > Auba & Barnes for example. No hits required. That's a BIG advantage on most I would imagine, as they will either be taking hits or losing Vardy for Auba.
    2. Traore could well be back in the team by GW29/30 and Wolves are guaranteed to play in GW31
    3. It's a BGW so chances are the average scores should be that bit lower than usual

    Is my thinking sound or it worth transferring out Traore for Richarlison? Rich is my preference over Bruno because Everton are more likely to play in 31 (hoping I can save FH for DGW37) and stats are basically identical, but Rich gets forward more and shoots in the box more. I actually think the only tough game for Everton in next 4 is the Liverpool one as well.

    But still... I think I will bench Traore and just play Cantwell this week

    1. KingRichud
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Personally would rather have 30 mins of Traoré than 90 mins of cantwell.

      1. Naboo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Considering this too. Think I should just play Traore. Might only get 10-20 against Spurs, vs Cantwell 90 at home?

      2. Hana
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed

      3. Angin out the Begović
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        agreed

  6. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    So this is my team after -4

    Ryan
    TAA, Boly, Aurier
    Salah(c), Mane(vc), Barnes, Martial
    Vardy, Jiminez, Ings

    Button, Dendonk, Rico, Stevens 0.2itb

    (I did Firmino, KDB, Grealish to Vardy, Mane, Barnes)

    Do you think this will do, or would you be tempted with another hit for Martial out?

    1. kamdaraji
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      why not live life a little and take a -8 or a -12

      1. Zenith UK
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        😀

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Nice transfers, probably selling KDB myself too.

    3. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Who would replace Martial..

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        In my head I was thinking Bruno but now Iv just realised hes 8.2 not 8. Not actually sure now 😆

        1. Well you know, Triffic
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I would leave it for this week then.

    4. ChuckN
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      You planning to FH 31?

    5. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I did Stevens De Bruyne Traore —-> Ricardo Richarlison B.Fernandes -8

    6. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      hm, two defenders you have there could possibly be benched both but on the other side is a -4 worth it, Dendoncker most likely will play and get you 3 points, and you have very good picks otherwise so i would be tempted to say no to more hits.

  7. Zenith UK
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    McCarthy
    TAA, Robbo, Chilwell, Stephens
    Salah (c), Barnes, Traore, Hayden
    Jimi, Ings

    Button, Williams, KDB, Auba

    I did Lund > Chilwell

    Still have 1FT and 0.7ITB.

    Thinking to roll the FT then next week I can do Hayden > Saka and Williams > Saiss (unless Williams starts playing again) for free. Tempted by Auba > Vardy and back again this week though.

    1. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Have a similar team, not worried about Hayden + Traores minutes?

      1. kamdaraji
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        what notes did they take? any info revealed?

        1. caldracula
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          What?

      2. Zenith UK
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Not everyone is going to be fielding 11 and even if Hayden does play he's probably picking up two points. If he doesn't then Williams can (potentially) come on. Not gonna start taking hits on maybe's though

  8. Well you know, Triffic
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Hi all, got 2 FT but nothing in the bank. Genuinely unsure what i can do here! Lundstram selling price would be 4.4, so I can't even afford Saiss! An option could be to downgrade Cantwell but it feels silly to remove a playing player this week.

    Ryan

    Arnold Soyuncu Stephens

    Salah Mane Traore Cantwell

    Vardy Ings DCL

    Subs: Button, KDB, Lundstram, O'Connell

    Advice would be greatly appreciated!

    1. KingRichud

      Like your team, I think with the blank and upcoming fixtures Grealish needs to go

      1. Tshelby
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks! Grealish to? Got 7.0 to spend

          1. Tshelby
            • 9 Years

            1. thewhitepele
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Don't see why not with the fixtures and 6.0 price tag.

    3. Bubz
      • 10 Years

      Martial to Bruno, easy

      1. Tshelby

    As a Grealish replacement for the next 4 weeks...
    A. Armstrong
    B. Traore
    C. Zaha (loves scoring against Brighton and Watford)
    D. Mount
    E. Barnes (Already have Perez)

    1. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years

      A

    2. John Nerdelbaum
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't bring Traore in

        Why not? Not guaranteed to play? But he is guaranteed to have a game in GW31!

    McCarthy

      1. BigBillyBass
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

  21. Bobby_Baggio
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Morning all. Thoughts on where to use 2FT & 0.2m ITB? Thanks.

    Foster
    Rico - TAA - Saiss - Soy
    Salah - Cantwell - Martial - Traore
    Vardy - Ings

    (McGovern) Cathcart - Auba - KDB

    A) Foster > Pope
    B) Cathcart > Taylor or 4.4m max
    C) Rico + Cathcart > Lascelles + Taylor
    D) Rico > Taylor
    E) Anything else?

    1. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Wait and see but otherwise can do Martial + Cathcart > Bruno + Taylor for free

  22. kamdaraji
    • 14 Years

    play Digne or Traore?

    1. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Traore

    2. JohnBlack
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Digne

  23. Concrete
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    DCL to Vardy isn't worth it is it?

  24. Fernandito
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Pope
    TAA VVD Pereira
    Traore Barnes Salah Martial
    DCL Ings Vardy

    Button Sidibe Rico Kdb

    Play Sidibe if Martial out? Or take a hit anywhere?

  25. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney

    Any advice anyone ?
    Which one of these out for boly.......rico, Kelly or lundstram.
    Risk of playing v fixtures.

    1. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Do you have 11 this week without the transfer?

      1. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yes if Kelly or Rico play. I just dont want to lose lundstram as I like his 2 fixtures in 29 and 30 and I am FH in 31 and WC in 32. I think that he will work his way back into the team.
        Team is
        Dubravka
        TAA soyuncu Rico, Kelly, lund
        Fernandes, Cantwell, Salah, mahrez, KDB
        Firmino, ings, Jimenez.

        Transferring out lund gives me a sub (albeit Rico or kelly) therefore more chance of eleven playing but the odds of getting out 11 if I keep lund are unlikely. I'm trying to think about gws 29 and 30 as well.
        What are your thoughts.

      I was short too but decided to take a hit to get him in

  27. kamdaraji
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    My worst transfer in has to be Gazzinaga when I already had a playing keeper. Still need to get rid!

    1. BigBillyBass
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He's rank

    2. Silecro
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He was also my worst transfer, and I didnt have other playing GK haha

    3. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 5 Years

      1. kamdaraji
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        nope

  28. Evasivo

    Best replacement for Lund? Most likely interested in a downgrade, so can bank a little cash.

    Ryan
    TAA Robertson Saiss Fernandez
    Salah Maddison Cantwell
    Ings Vardy Maupay
