Aubameyang starts again as Arteta shuffles the Arsenal attack

Owners of popular Double Gameweek 30+ asset Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.1m) will be pleased with Arsenal’s latest line-up.

Despite playing 90 minutes in the 3-0 defeat at Manchester City on Wednesday night, the Gunners’ number 14 has been handed another start on Saturday afternoon.

Outside of Aubameyang, Mikel Arteta has certainly shuffled the pack for the trip to Brighton, including Alexandre Lacazette (£9.4m) up-front and dropping Eddie Nketiah (£4.4m) to the bench.

It is possible that the Frenchman could be paired with Aubameyang in a front-two, although the personnel chosen by Arteta could also line-up in a 4-2-3-1.

Nicolas Pépé (£9.3m) returns to the side to operate on the right-hand side of midfield, while Bukayo Saka (£4.7m), making a second start in the space of a week, could either play on the left of midfield or as the number 10.

Rob Holding (£4.4m) comes in for the injured Pablo Mari (£4.8m) and suspended David Luiz (£5.7m), while Sead Kolasinac (£5.2m) replaces the benched Kieran Tierney (£5.3m).

Meanwhile, Mesut Özil (£7.3m) still cannot get into the starting line-up, although was, at least, included on the bench this time.

Brighton manager Graham Potter has gone with a 4-3-3 shape with a largely unsurprising selection.

Neal Maupay (£5.7m) spearheads the attacking trio, flanked by Leandro Trossard (£5.8m) and Pascal Groß (£6.2m).

Budget option Aaron Mooy (£4.8m) may be one to watch given his pre-lockdown form. He is in the central midfield trio with Davy Pröpper (£4.8m) and Yves Bissouma (£5.0m).

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Ryan; Burn, Webster, Dunk, Schelotto; Pröpper, Bissouma, Mooy; Trossard, Maupay, Groß.

Arsenal XI: Leno; Kolasinac, Holding, Mustafi, Bellerín; Saka, Ceballos, Guendouzi, Pépé; Aubameyang, Lacazette.

    Ffs I can't catch a break. ML rival is always getting lucky as I sit here watching my players drop like flies.

      Face it he's just simply a better player than you?

      1. Postman Ty
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Not even close, he's never even got a top 100k I have a top 5k. He just keeps cheesing his way through this season.

        1. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah, still has Ings too after he got him at like 5.9m or whatever it was before his amazing run.

          1. Postman Ty
            • 9 Years

            Do we have the same rival? Lol this guy still has him too despite 1 goal in his previous 7.

  15. tm245

    Was that Maupay who bundled into him?

    1. tm245
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Yep.

    2. badgerboy

    Put Auba in goal. Nketiah on

  17. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 8 Years

    annoying that it was caused by a cheap shot from the Brighton player

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Exactly. It was the push from Maupay that exacerbated it.

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        the issue is when a player is in the air, doesn’t have to be bad contact due to the problem with landing - straight red card in rugby

  18. diesel001

    Leno right to point the finger at Maupay.

  19. DALEDOBACK

    Giving maupay some verbals on way off.

    Leno shouting at maupay as he goes off

    He thinks maupay did him

  22. Dybala10

    3 years, 10 months ago

    Ffs Leno so avoidable. His poor anticipation and Maupay stupid push.

    ‘Mon Auba and Pépé.

  23. La Roja

    Leno having a go at Maupay

  24. Fresh_From_Desh

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years

        Did you miss thats its a dgw?

        1. Tasty Jerk
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          But its Arsenal 😀

          I think it's surprising as many people going for him as they did. Arsenal defence not the best and Mac City were always gonna win

          1. Tasty Jerk
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            Exactly, especially over Henderson and Nyland.

      2. Bubz

        Why wouldnt they?

  27. DALEDOBACK
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Didn't seem much in it to me.

  28. Chandler Bing
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Maupay not even booked?

  29. el polako
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Maupay will have to live looking over his shoulder now.

    The only time I’d ever own arsenal goalkeeper on a BB and he gets injured. Oh well, hope it’s not to serious for him. Sounds a nasty injury.
