How Arteta has revitalised Arsenal’s attack and what it means for FPL managers

Mikel Arteta’s recent changes to his Arsenal team appear to have been getting the best out of his attacking options.

Even though the Gunners’ upcoming fixtures are not the most appealing, Fantasy Premier League managers would do well to keep an eye on north London.

Accordingly, we have analysed the fortunes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.3m), Emile Smith Rowe (£4.5m), Bukayo Saka (£5.3m) and Alexandre Lacazette (£8.3m) after fourth win in five Premier League games.

    Feel like my disaster season is finally turning. 60 pts last week, 89 with 7 to play this week including TC KDB, and FH & WC still in hand. Even Bowen scored!!

    Finally broke into the top 2m as well.... onwards and upwards.

          well done for breaking 2m tho. it has taken me far too long this season too

    2. Alisson WondHaaland

      3 years, 2 months ago

      Fellow Bowen owner! I was getting fed up of Soucek scoring week after week

    3. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      We're all having a mare! I broke into 2m only last week. Although have fallen out again now! Unless Salah TC scores...

      1. Baron Penguin

        Was 4.2 Mill after GW13, now 1.3 Mill. Trust yourself and keep the faith!

      Good job, having a similar turnaround... was 3mn by gw 16.
      Now gw19 and 5 players and tc salah left, 1.2 million... that was swift

  2. Alisson WondHaaland

    Im considering Chilwell to Ricardo

    If Ricardo gets Albrightons place that would be quite an OOP asset to own, and a huge differential too.

    1. fish&chips
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It's a wait and see I think

    2. gonzalocampos
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      This is like the stock market, buy the rumor sell the news but I would wait 1 week to see if Pereira starts.

      1. Alisson WondHaaland
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        For sure, Ill wait for next week at least

    3. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Albrighton is such a workhorse, would be surprised to see Brendan drop him

    4. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It’s surely now the time to get Chelsea defenders.

      1. Alisson WondHaaland
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Fixture wise Leicesters are as good as Chelsea's imo. And tbh I have no confidence of Chelsea regardless of their fixtures

      2. JayKay1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years

        After that?

  3. Babit1967
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Laca to Antonio, what’s not to love, money itb to upgrade elsewhere and Antonio is the better pick, wish I took the hit this gw but it’s done now

  4. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What is actually wrong with being a casual?
    See it banded about constantly, don’t get it.

    1. toerag
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      nowt mate. have a giggle

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nothing at all, prob more fun and have a bit more of a real life being slightly more casual about a made up game based on players playing football over which you have no control at all.

      1. theoldgit
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Casuals have a life outside of FPL.

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

      Its funny how wound up people get about it

    4. BROOKLYN GOONER

      Casuals are the zombies in the zombie apocalypse. They will eat your family's brains, they are pure evil!

      Actually, I know some in real life, and they are very nice. If you give them advice, they appreciate it. They do sometimes miss deadlines, even if you remind them, but, whatever. Cut them some slack.

    8 players plus Salah (c) left to play..

    Is that about normal left to play overall?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    2. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I think this is better than overall.

    3. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      10 left here (counting KDB (c) as 2)

    4. JonSnow
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      12 if including kdb(c) as x2

  7. tuturututu
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is this crazy for -12?

    Robbo to Shaw
    Firmino to Antonio
    Soucek to Sterling
    Meslier to fodder

    1. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Depends really if you hate points.

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      dont do that.
      Do get rid of Firminio

  8. jia you
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Managers make the mistake of looking at the super high score brag posts on here and then feel that their score is poor...just look at your GW rank and if it's in the top half million you can be very happy indeed, if it's a 5 digit number you're having a great GW, 4 digits - killing it 🙂

    1. jia you
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      *nothing wrong with super high score brag posts btw...love it the very odd time it happens to me lol!

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I disagree, there’s everything wrong with a high score brag both from a personal mental health stand point and the impact on others. There’s literally no reason for it, go to the bathroom.

        1. toerag
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          i have been known to do it a couple of times. TC kun and a hatty !!! that was good

        2. jia you
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          nonsense, if they annoy you skip over them, if they still upset you quit the forum, if you still feel shitty quit FPL and find a new hobby

    2. toerag

      562726 😆

      1. jia you

        3 years, 2 months ago

        you can be somewhere between happy and very happy mate lol

        1. toerag
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          4 highest score in my ml
          high score has 106 with kdb (c) diaz and stones bruno grelish and martinez - should be some score that!!!

    3. Casual Player
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Self-reporting bias here makes me think I'm 10-20 points under par every week, then go to LiveFPl and I'm usually above average for the top 10k. So I'd recommend people look there instead

      I think you can be happy if you're making good decisions, or learning from bad ones. Looking at points week-to-week is a bad process.

    Not even top 500k... my goal was top 400k and 150 points this game week. The only thing that can save me is KDB (C) massive haul

    1. toerag

      ... 🙄 if only.. i have had a 'mare this season

    2. JJeyy

      Seems like you will be out of luck then, have a feeling delap will fill in at cam to give KDB a rest

      Course they can, whether it will happen or not is another matter

  14. dshv
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    CHOOSE.

    1. Taylor to mitchel (to save money)
    2. Taylor to holding (have 5 playing defs)
    3. Salah to kdb (diaz robbo owner)
    4. Keep ft

      has chilwell got a problem???

      1. Pukki Blinders

        No but Chelsea have a very big problem

        1. toerag
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          were they bad? will zouma be back?

          1. Pukki Blinders
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Zouma’s been dropped so who knows while Frank tinkers with his short lived future

  16. tuturututu
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Will Meslier be fit by Newcastle match?

  17. Dirty Harry
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is Zouma a hold still? Not featuring in the DGW is highly frustrating or do I move on for someone else?

    1. Hold Zouma
    2. Welbeck > Antonio
    3. Welbeck + Zouma > Antonio + Justin (-4)

    1. aleksaa2
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      3

    2. RichardNixon
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nobody knows. Lampard will probably be out of a job in a week or two and who knows how the starting eleven will look

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        They are definitely not performing how we saw earlier in the season.

        Zouma has returned 2 points in the last 5 Chelsea games (he only played two of those for 1 point each)

        1. RichardNixon
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          We have the right fixtures but the team is shot. We haven't beaten anyone above us all season. Chilwell and Mendy seem to be the only two defenders who are safe but I'm keeping away until Lampard is sacked.

    3. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Move him out or bench him next week if you have cover

  18. Alisson WondHaaland
    • 8 Years

    Realsitic additional scores from the following?

    Stones
    Bruno

    Cheers.

    1. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Should be playing both but A if Zaha is out

    3. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Bench Justin if DCL is back, otherwise Coufal

  20. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What’s the way to go, Barnes or Maddison?

    1. tuturututu

      Maddy

    2. Avery
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  21. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Does this 11 and bench order look OK for next week or any bench players you would put in over any player in 11?

    Martinez
    Cancelo Coufal Dias Robertson
    Salah KDB Bruno Raphinha
    Antonio Bamford

    McCarthy Watkins Soucek Dallas

    1. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I would start Watkins over Coufal.

      1. _Ninja_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I agree with this

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks-I know- curse of setting team up for BB this week

  22. Yankee Toffee
    • 9 Years

    Bamford > Antonio ?
    Y/N

    Have exact cash now but if Antonio goes up, I'm priced out.

    Running out of patience with Vardy. Vardy > Antonio for free?

      Could wait to make sure about rescheduling, etc
      Although Antonio set to rise supposedly

      1. SpaceCadet

        Wont make any transfer till deadline day. Just not sure whether to keep or dump vardy.

      I don’t have him, but I’ve got my eye on him. I think he’ll come back good again soon

    Anyone want Vardy and DCL from GW 21?

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Wait and see on DCL
      Vardy unsure

      DCL if fit, just don't know how to make it work without sacrificing Kane or another premium

    How about Robbo, Firmino, Soucek and Meslier to Shaw, Antonio, Sterling and fodder for -12?

    Would give me this:

    Fabianski
    Stones, Shaw, Coufal
    Salah, Sterling, Bruno, Rashford(c), Maddison
    Bamford, Antonio

    Fodder, Alioski, Justin, Giroud

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years

      12 point hits are pretty ridiculous in a normal GW

  27. toerag

    3 years, 2 months ago

    mistakes made this season up to now

    2 x forgot to change team
    2 x missed deadline when planning to change
    2 x forgetting to press save your team (FFS!!!!)

    anyone do better??

    1. Pukki Blinders

      Only the casuals...

        lol

    2. toerag

      3 years, 2 months ago

      think the save your team mistake is the worst. take a hit then leave new player on bench SMH

      I didn't do any of those and I'm still trying to get up from the disastrous first half of the season

      These are mistakes only a dude with a Life would make

      If you were obsessed and consumed by FPL, then none of this would happen.

      Stay Gold Ponyboy!

    Start two.

    A) Dallas - NEW(A)
    B) Holding - SOU(A)
    C) Coufal - CRY(A)
    D) Soucek - CRY(A)

        Newcastle are terrible and Dallas is great to own, so A for sure. Fancy Soton to score at home, so I'd do one of the last two. If Zaha out, I'd say C). I have Cressers and Soucek. May start Cressers out of the two...

      AC

      Soucek trap has snapped

      Shoulda bought Saka

    Who should be sold, Robertson or Chilwell to get second mcy defender along with Stones?

    Robertson: releases more funds, fixtures are awful. Liverpool are yet to find some form, so both open play and corner assists are in question. Still it's Robertson we're talking about and Matip will be back soon, which could have big impact on entire team.

    Chilwell: Good fixtures, but will Chelsea keep the clean sheets? I don't trust that defense, Lampard or no Lampard to coach them.

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Having watched Chelsea tonight I would keep Robertson

      1. Nanoelektronicar
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I am on the same line, before the game, it was a lot easier decison.

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

      One more thing to add: keeping Robertson would lead to having 5 players in Liv vs Mcy in gw23.

    3. aleksaa2
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Robertsona, ali, resio bih se iskreno obojice, trenutno ima mnogo boljih opcija od njih za manje para.

        Keep the guidelines and post only English 🙂

        Team link?

    Johnstone & Sánchez as a cheap rotating 8.9 goalkeeper combo?

    GW20 - GW29: FUL, FUL, SHU, bur, AVL, bur, wba, NEW, cry, NEW

    1. Dirty Harry
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nice one. And here I am still with bloody Nyland

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

      It's a fix, but you'll be behind set and forget GK options, Martinez, McCarthy, new template GKs from GW16 and 18 wildcard template (Leno, DDG, Pope).

      1. Uncle Gamst
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        True.

        I have Pope and Sánchez at the moment but Pope's next 3 are AVL, che, MCI, which got me thinking what I could with the extra cash.

        Set and forget options are all 5.0+ and have some pretty tough games coming up but could be persuaded to pair one with Johnstone or Sánchez
