Aubameyang survives Arsenal rotation ahead of Norwich clash

Midweek rotation has struck Fantasy Premier League managers once again ahead of Wednesday’s 18:00 BST kick-offs.

Mikel Arteta appears to be the chief culprit, naming Bukayo Saka (£4.7m), Nicolas Pépé (£9.2m) and Eddie Nketiah (£4.4m) on the bench for Arsenal’s meeting with Norwich.

That will be of huge frustration to the owners of such assets, especially as the Canaries have come to the Emirates Stadium with only one fit recognised centre-back in Ben Godfrey (£4.4m), tonight paired with midfielder Alex Tettey (£4.5m).

That said, those who went with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) will be in better spirits as he has been selected to play in the front-line of what looks like a 3-4-3 formation.

It features Kieran Tierney (£5.3m) and Hector Bellerín (£5.4m) as wing-backs with Sead Kolasinac (£5.2m) joined by David Luiz (£5.7m) and Shkodran Mustafi (£5.1m) in the back-three.

Meanwhile, Norwich hand recalls to key attackers Teemu Pukki (£6.5m) and Todd Cantwell (£4.6m).

For all the shuffling at Arsenal, Steve Bruce has largely left Fantasy managers content with his selection. There had been suggestions of a midweek benching for Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.4m), but the pacey winger has kept his place in the team, as has budget centre-back Jamaal Lascelles (£4.3m).

Matt Ritchie (£5.3m) is fit enough for a place on the bench, where he is joined by a rested Miguel Almirón (£5.8m).

Elsewhere, James Maddison (£7.4m) has also fallen foul of rotation, chosen among the substitutes for Leicester’s trip to Everton.

His rest means a rare start for the hard-working Marc Albrighton (£5.1m) in a four-man midfield, Harvey Barnes (£6.1m) providing the width on the opposite flank. As ever, Jamie Vardy (£9.8m) leads the attack.

Everton themselves have gone with their standard 4-4-2 formation, led by Fantasy favourites Richarlison (£8.3m) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.5m)

Arsenal XI: Martínez; Kolasinac, D Luiz, Mustafi; Tierney, Ceballos, Xhaka, Bellerín; Aubameyang, Lacazette, Nelson.

Norwich City XI: Krul; Lewis, Tettey, Godfrey, Aarons; Trybull, McLean; Cantwell, Buendía, Rupp; Pukki.

Bournemouth XI: Ramsdale; L Kelly, Aké, S Cook, A Smith; Danjuma, Lerma, Billing, Brooks; J King, Solanke.

Newcastle United XI: Dúbravka; Manquillo, Lascelles, Fernandez, Krafth; Bentaleb, Shelvey, S Longstaff; Gayle, Joelinton, Saint-Maximin.

Everton XI: Pickford; Digne, Keane, Holgate, Coleman; Gordon, Sigurdsson, A Gomes, Iwobi; Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel; Chilwell, Söyüncü, Evans, Justin; Ndidi; H Barnes, Tielemans, Praet, Albrighton; Vardy.

    Too many of these club managers have forgotten the tool in their armoury that is man-marking. When you are playing Arsenal, it is pretty obvious Auba is the danger man, so put a man on him all match. It is worth it to stop the danger.

      They put a man on him. The problem was the man on him gave him the ball 3 times today lol.

        I'm talking old style. The style where you don't even watch the ball. Just follow and foul the man all the day. Like the job Ander Herrera did on Hazard.

          Ji-Sung Park on Fabregas every time United faced Arsenal lol

    Magnus Carlson said his most hated FPL asset is Auba. I’m in full agreement.

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years

      Without question

  16. Right In The Stanchion

    4. Garlana
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

  17. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Greenwood surely nailed for now right?

    DCL out Greenwood in simple as

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

      Its to difficult for Ole to leave him out now surely.

    2. Garlana
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I hope so unless he starts messing around with james. In the team.

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        James done nothing to warrant that. Greenwood playing very well

      2. Bartowski
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        They need Champions League. No time for messing.

  22. Queens of the South Age
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    I've looked up the new 5 subs rule but I still need it explained please.

    How come Arsenal have made 5 subs at 5 different times? I thought it was only 3 times allowed.

    .....salty non Auba owner to be fair. 🙂

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Not sure but I don't think half time counts?

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      3 + HT.

    3. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      HT subs dont count

        • 6 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Cool. Fotmob showed them slightly different so looked like 5 different ones.

        Thanks all.

    4. Tempestic
      • 5 Years

      Drinks breaks also don’t count as a sub break I guess as well

  23. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    What to do with DCL and Lund (exact cash)

    Have 3 United already

    1. Macam Dave
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Im in same boat. Has he been bad this game or just unlucky?

      I'm debating rashford to greenwood then big upgrade on Grealish but to who? Sons our of form, Mahrez maybe? Or William depending on how he does tonight. But feels like dcl has to go unless someone tells me was super unlucky tonight...

    2. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Either down to Greenwood or up to Jesus imo. Could sell someone else for funds like Son or whoever you have

    3. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Ings & a cheapie maybe Robinson or Taylor

        Ings has been promised starts against a roulette City defence, that's my only logic. Who would you recommend?
