Nketiah straight back in Arsenal team after suspension

Eddie Nketiah (£4.3m) makes an immediate return to the Arsenal team following his Gameweek 34+ suspension.

The young striker last a matter of minutes in the 1-1 draw with Leicester, in which he was sent off shortly after taking to the field as a substitute.

With that three-match ban out of the way, Mikel Arteta has thrown him back into the side for his first Premier League appearance since then.

Nketiah is joined in the attack by Arsenal’s key attackers Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m) and Alexandre Lacazette (£9.2m), who start together again for the first time since the Gameweek 35+ defeat at Spurs.

As has become usual, Arteta has lined his troops up in 3-4-3 formation, Bukayo Saka (£4.7m) and Cédric Soares (£4.8m) providing the width as wing-backs on this occasion.

Aston Villa line-up in their customary 4-3-3 formation, Jack Grealish (£5.9m) and Trézéguet (£5.2m) flanking Mbwana Samatta (£5.1m) in attack.

With Watford losing heavily against Manchester City, Dean Smith’s men may have half an eye on goal difference, as they currently share the same figure (-27) with the Hornets and are three points adrift of safety.

Aston Villa XI: Reina; Targett, Mings, Konsa, Elmohamady; Hourihane, D Luiz, McGinn; Grealish, Samatta, Trézéguet.

Arsenal XI: Martínez; Kolasinac, D Luiz, Holding; Saka, Torreira, Ceballos, Cédric; Aubameyang, Lacazette, Nketiah.

    Chances of Tierney subbed on to get a RC? Asking for a friend.

    Jesus blanking in a 4-0 win...

    1. Danstoke82
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Really want rid of him after that but booting him out v Norwich next seems a bit wrong?

      1. CheesyZoot
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Same way it felt wrong this week I guess...

      2. Cok3y5murf

        Keep. Hopefully, lineups are leaked.

        3 years, 9 months ago

        I want him in. Norwich give away extra chances to forwards.

    2. FPL Pillars

      What a load of sheet

  4. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Having been rested for Arsenal & Watford, is Jesus essential for GW38?

  5. Zilla
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Hopefully won't fall into the Mahrez trap again

  6. Ed
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    On FH for final gameweek.

    Sterling, Mahrez & D Silva for three City?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'm thinking that too. Maybe Laporte instead of that useless Mahrez

    2. Danstoke82
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Which midfielders are you binning for them?

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Sterling Dilva Jesus

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

      Just going 2 city myself. Dilva and Sterling.

  7. antis0cial
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Dilva not coming on so Nketiah coming off bench, hopefully better than last time out!

  8. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Foster 2 BAPs 😆

  9. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Sterling, Foden, Jesus

    I'll take that. Loved the third goal

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Same here.

      Rashford(C) though argh!

  10. Teahupo'o
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    How does this look for 38?

    Martinez
    Walker Bardsley Pieters
    Sterling Mahrez Mane Son Martial
    Auba Kane

    (Button, Connolly Tanganga Williams)

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Looks good but where is Jesus? 🙂

      1. Teahupo'o
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks. Sacrificial lamb.

  11. Gav's Gunners

    7 Games This GW. 8 Clean Sheets
    Arsenal For No.9

  12. DycheDycheBaby
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    I'm not sure I would be putting Jesus in after that

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Eeeeeee

  13. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Having a stinker this week so far...

    What to do with this team?

    Pope
    Trent - Saiss - Egan
    Fernances - Salah - Dilva - KDB
    Ings - Jesus - Rashford

    Subs: Henderson, Fernandez - Hayden - Holgate 0.5m ITB.

  14. EL tridente
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Rashford or Ings for gw 38?

    1. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Rash, Leicester missing a lot of first teamers at back and Rash playing really well, United will still need points to get top 4

  15. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Nothing in a 4-0 win is classic Jesus

  16. Danstoke82
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Do I bin Salah for Sterling for GW38?

    Not a fan of losing KDB v Norwich nor Martial/Fernandes v Leicester.

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      No way

    2. JJeyy
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Would ditch kdb of them if I had to

      1. Danstoke82
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        KDB v Norwich?? Interested to know why?

        1. antis0cial
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Sterling is a better option

          1. Danstoke82
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            We thinking Sterling, Dilva and Jesus as the three then

            1. antis0cial
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              I don’t have free hit so sticking with what I have, Sterling, KDB, Dilva. I think it’s Sterling Dilva and one other, Jesus is terrible but if he plays he should get points vs Norwich.

              1. Danstoke82
                • 9 Years
                3 years, 9 months ago

                Do you own Salah as well?

                1. antis0cial
                  • 7 Years
                  3 years, 9 months ago

                  Yes, no martial though, went awb weeks ago, bad decision but hard to get out of: Salah KDB Sterling Bruno Dilva

  17. Strchld
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Surely Greenwood have to start tomorrow?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Why wouldn't he?

      1. Strchld
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I want to get atleast 10 players out! Useless Saiss and Lascelles and Simpson on bench..

  18. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    2 more assists needed for KDB.

    Will he just be fed to feed Dilva all game?

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Sterling 3 bonus?

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Ya ya ya.

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Sterling for the golden boot

  19. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    So playing Greenwood over Foden has cost me now

    Curse my bias!

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Greenwood hasn’t played yet Tony

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I know but annoying still

  20. gers23
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    2 goals from Auba and the mini league is won, come On Auba!!!

  21. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Worthless Mahrez cameo blocks Aurier from the bench. Yay.

    Mahrez out for DSilva? Have KDB too

    1. Mini Mahouse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Really not sure why you'd waste your transfer getting rid of Mahrez - Who most likely will start against Norwich

  22. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Someone please help me with what to do with this lot... what to change for final GW?

    Pope
    Trent - Saiss - Egan
    Fernances - Salah - Dilva - KDB
    Ings - Jesus - Rashford

    Subs: Henderson, Fernandez - Hayden - Holgate 0.5m ITB.

  23. Amey
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Mahrez & KDB

    Get the .... Outa my team !

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      KDB got 6 points

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah

    2. Godfrey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I guess Mahrez starts next game with Foden and BSilva playing 90 minutes...

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        You're right ... Can he do anything is the question 😀

    3. Predator
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I wouldn’t worry too much with that rank

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks

  24. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Imagine not having Ederson down the stretch lol

  25. TheDragon
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Which 3 city for FH 38 then?

    Sterling, DSilva and.... KDB, Mahrez or Jesus?

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Sterling and Dilva.

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Sterling, Dilva and KDB I think

    3. I Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah Sterling and Silva are locks I think. Not going Jesus. Will be KDB or Mahrez as my third.

    4. JollyGoodYellows
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      KDB with him going for the assist record...

    5. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Mahrez if nailed would be a perfect 3rd
      City given his price

      I’m convinced Mahrez, DSilva and Sterling start 38

    6. Whiskerz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      KDB if you can afford. Otherwise just the two.

  26. Henning
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Kdb and Jesus out for Mahrez and Auba/ Kane?

    1. Henning
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Have D.Silva

  27. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Foden > Dilva my first FT.

    What to do with the other hmm.

  28. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    KDB & Rashford > Greenwood & Sterling for a -4?

    Yay or nay?

  29. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Need Rash and Salah to do the business tomorrow

  30. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    For GW38:

    A) David Silva + Vardy
    Or
    B) Sterling + Greenwood -4

    ?
