Kilman and Ait Nouri benched as Aubameyang leads the line for Arsenal

Two relatively goal-shy attacks go head to head at the Emirates this evening, as Arsenal play host to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Kick-off in north London is at 19:15 GMT.

The Gunners have scored on just one occasion in the last five Gameweeks and their last goal from open play came against Sheffield United at the beginning of October.

Mikel Arteta’s side have had fewer attempts on goal than any other team this season.

Wolves have similarly been below-par in the opposition box, with both themselves and Arsenal in the bottom six for goals scored in 2020/21.

Despite being top of our Season Ticker for attack from Gameweeks 3-9, Nuno Espirito Santo’s outfit have scored at a rate of less than one goal per match over that time.

On the positive side, however, these two clubs are among the five meanest defences for goals conceded (ten apiece).

As for the team news, Arteta has made two changes from the team that held Leeds United at Elland Road last week.

Bukayo Saka (£5.2m) has recovered from a dead leg to replace the suspended Nicolas Pepe (£7.6m), while David Luiz (£5.5m) is in for Rob Holding (£4.4m) at centre-half.

We await to see how the Arsenal boss sends out his troops but it appears, on paper, that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.6m) is leading the line at the Emirates.

Santo has made three alterations to his starting XI, with budget defender Max Kilman (£4.3m) – Wolves’ most-owned FPL asset – among those to make way.

Conor Coady (£5.0m) is back from his spell in self-isolation, while Pedro Neto (£5.5m) and Marcal (£4.8m) are also recalled.

Ruben Neves (£5.3m) and Rayan Ait Nouri (£5.0m) drop to the bench, along with Kilman.

Arsenal XI: Leno, Bellerin, Luiz, Gabriel, Tierney, Ceballos, Xhaka, Willock, Willian, Saka, Aubameyang.

Wolves XI: Patrício, Semedo, Coady, Boly, Marçal, Dendoncker, Moutinho, Traoré, Podence, Neto, Jiménez.

    1. Hazz

      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Christ, those are bad players.

      1. Neves say Neves
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Not necessarily, they could have benched Zouma for someone like Justin this week (Justin would usually be benched).

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm

      He’ll probably score now

  4. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Bonus points system still a joke. Too much weight on goals
    All three goal scorerers on for baps

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm

        What defenders deserve bonus points in a 1-2?

      Good news. Was a horrible collision.

  10. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Maybe Semedo might even get out of his own half now they have a back 3. 😆

    2 FT 0 ITB

    Martinez (Forster)

    Chilwell Cancelo Coufal KWP Kilman
    Grealish Ziyech KDB Bruno (Riedewald)
    DCL Bamford Vardy

    Early thoughts are I need some Liverpool coverage in there, perhaps Jota as I can't see an easy way to get Salah in there. Don't want to lose a FT, any advice? Will monitor Cancelo also in UCL. Thanks.

      Ziyech out before Leeds?
      Maybe change the GK?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        What is wrong with Martinez?

        1. TorresMagic™

          Won't play Leicester or Arsenal for a while.

          1. Zimo
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            U don't like villas fixtures for clean sheets?

      2. leeboy104
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Considering this, but might give him one final runout for Leeds. What GK do you have in mind?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Really depends on your budget, plenty of GKs look better if on WC.

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

      If you paid 4.3 for Kilman, could swap to Lewis rather than burn a transfer.

    Kilman autosub for Bellerin 0-pointer. Better than nothing...

    1. Black Knights
      • 12 Years

    2. Gunners in Haaland

    Don't u love seeing arsenal sadwiched between newcastle and crystal palace on the table?

  24. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Don't get booked now Kilman. That one point could be crucial.

  25. Sarri-ball
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    3 weeks ago

    Picked auba over fernandes for arsenal ok run 3 weeks later

    30 points down and 0.5 in value

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Damn that choice was obvious man, hard luck

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

      Try and learn from it. Pick your attacking players on form only and pick defenders for the fixtures. I got Bellerin for the last 3 games but at least he came away with 9 points last week.

      1. Sarri-ball
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago
