Ryan starts in goal for Arsenal as Aubameyang remains on bench

On-loan Brighton goalkeeper Mat Ryan (£4.2m) makes his Arsenal debut in Gameweek 23.

A hip problem ruled the stopper out for Gameweek 22 but Ryan returned to full training on Friday.

Bernd Leno (£5.0m) is serving a one-match suspension after being sent off as Arsenal lost 2-1 at Wolves on Tuesday. David Luiz (£5.4m) is in the same boat after his red card at Molineux.

Having only returned to the Arsenal matchday squad in GW22 following a personal issue, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.3m) remains on the bench as Pepe (£7.6m) starts again. On that selection call, Mikel Arteta said:

It’s been a really difficult decision, as you can imagine. I felt that the players that played against Wolves, the way they played – they deserve another chance today and that’s why I stick with them.

Pepe joins Bukayo Saka (£5.4m), Emile Smith Rowe (£4.4m), and Alexandre Lacazette (£8.4m) in Arteta’s four-pronged attack.

With Kieran Tierney (£5.3m) still sidelined, Cedric (£4.6m) continues at left-back while Gabriel (£5.0m) slots in for David Luiz. On the Scottish full-back, Arteta said on Friday:

“We are trying to manage him in the best possible way and find every possibility to give him the best chance to be fit as soon as possible. Kieran is a player that really pushes himself and he has to be able to perform physically at his best because he cannot help himself. Even in training he can’t help himself.”

Asked whether the left-back’s injury has to be managed carefully:

“No, it’s a different injury in this case.”

For Aston Villa, Douglas Luiz (£4.9m) drops to the bench as Marvelous Nakamba (£4.3m) is drafted into midfield.

Bertrand Traoré (£5.9m) also returns to Dean Smith’s starting XI, after Anwar El Ghazi (£5.5m) earned a rare start on Wednesday as the Villans were turned over by West Ham.

Speaking to BT Sport ahead of kick off, Smith explained:

Just freshening it up. I rested Betrand on Wednesday. It’s been a lot of games; I think it’s our sixth game in 18 days.

Likewise with Douglas Luiz. He’s done OK but he’s played pretty much every minute so it was time to put Nakamba in.

Emi Martinez (£5.2m) banked four points in that midweek defeat, despite conceding three goals. He lines up behind the usual back four of Matt Targett (£4.8m), Tyrone Mings (£5.4m), Ezri Konsa (£4.6m) and Matty Cash (£5.0m).

Traoré rejoins Ross Barkley (£5.9m) and Jack Grealish (£7.8m) in attacking midfield, with Ollie Watkins (£6.3m) leading the Villa line.

On that West Ham loss, Smith said in his pre-Arsenal press conference on Friday:

The message was they’ve dropped below their standards. We’ve had some very high standards this season already and we keep speaking to the players, if we want to be a top team then we have to keep playing to those standards.

For me, there were too many six out of 10s on Wednesday night and if you drop to that level then you’re going to get beat. We found that out. The lads understand that as well and they know what they have to do to put it right.

On defensive mistakes against the Hammers, Smith added:

After the Burnley game, I only showed (the players) the set-piece goal, which I thought was really poor defending from ourselves. After the West Ham game, our debrief was all three goals, as they were really poor defensively.

I haven’t had cause to do that because we’ve set really high standards this season and I thought we dropped off it. It was the first time I thought we looked mentally tired more than anything, certainly there’s nothing in the numbers to suggest fatigue in any way, but it was the fifth game in 14 days, we’ve got our sixth game on Saturday in 18 days.

The lads have to make sure they’re ready for each game because it’s a tough league and can be punishing if you’re not right.

Aston Villa XI (4-2-3-1): Martinez; Targett, Mings, Konsa, Cash; McGinn, Luiz; Grealish, Barkley, B Traoré; Watkins.

Arsenal XI (4-2-3-1): Ryan; Cedric, Gabriel, Holding, Bellerin; Xhaka, Partey; Pepe, Smith Rowe, Saka; Lacazette.

    1. Ejaaz11
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Same here. We both have 7 different players. And my opponent has laca (c).

        Wow. What a random captain. Although he does have some form.

    2. R.C
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Same. Almost identical team, he's gone Salah (C) though

      A lot of differentials in my game. He has triple Villa, I only have Watkins so could do with Arsenal winning

        Him having Justin is a concern.

        Yep, tough opponent for the first time. Very similar team, he had the guts to bench Salah whilst I didn't. Could be the decider.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

                  I'm aware I've done it more of very late, but that's since the BS posts have been increasing.

        Perhaps Wolves were told they couldn't pick their own squad players?

        Mass transfer out.

        In professional sport it is sending a signal, like with Robbo at Liverpool.

        Fine margins and all that...

        I don't think so, his save points could come good if they don't keep CS. At this point 3+3 from my captain would be a haul.

      Current GW24 team with 2FT and 5.1 itb

      Martinez (Forster)
      Cancelo*, Stones*, Coufal (Dallas, Douglas)
      Salah, Bruno, Son, Gundogan* (Grealish)
      DCL*, Antonio, Bamford

      Thinking of using my BB after doing:
      Forster > Pope
      Douglas > Digne

      Would leave me with 6 DGW players (3 MCI, 2 EVE, 1 BUR) and a bench of:
      Martinez & Grealish vs BHA
      Coufal vs SHU
      Dallas vs ARS

      Solid plan or am I mad for not saving for GW26?

      Matt Targett benched himself. Villa CS gone.
      Also who posted the Antonio rumour and is he reliable?

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Source is fans of WHU on their forum debating lineups. Only a few actually suggested benching Antonio - selective information and all.

        I do understand the reasoning with FA Cup etc to come, but absolutely 0 reliable accounts posted anything like that.

      Messing with my team and left souczek on the bench with DCL on the pitch and didnt realise the time. doh!!!

        You’ll be fine imo.

        GW 24 captaincy audition for DCL.

      3. Pedersen

        It's only 2 goals and 3 bonus points youl will miss xD

        You're ok, 89% of Soucek owners played him this GW. He only hauls when more than half have benched him and gets a YC 1 pointer otherwise.

    15. Ëð

      For the double

      A) Robertson -> Cancelo
      B) Salah -> Sterling

      Already own Stones and Gundo

      1. shiraz

        A

      The fixture ticker still not showing the DGW 24 fixtures for me. Is that the same for everyone?

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yes. FFS been a bit slow updating. I don't need it instantly but you have to say they have been so much slower in doing so that other sites.

        If you're a member (especially), it's not fab to have to wait ages for a tool like that.

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 11 Years

          Cheers.

        2. Pedersen

          I might not pay member fees next year due to this...

    17. Maeki2

      • 3 Years

      wish me luck, have Salah, cancelo, watkins, mcarty on bench

    18. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Early thoughts.. Son and Stones/Cancelo —> Sterling (c) and Tarkowski?

    19. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I would have to bench Rafhinha, Watkins, Coufal and Martinez next week.

      would you BB this or wait until GW26?

      1. Kabayan
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Similar situation. I'll wait for FAC results. Might get clearer picture.

        1. Eleven Hag
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Might get better bench for DGW26 too

    20. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years

      Only just seen the new fixtures, thankfully I have 2 free transfers. How many Burnley defenders to get? Is 2 enough?

      1. Free Hat
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Problem is for who.

        2 city defenders, whu defender here. Some with man utd def too.

        Pope alone seems the easiest route.

    21. Kaneyonero

      Unpopular opinion but is actually true...

      GW23 captaincy pick holds a much larger impact on how our season plays out than DGW24/25.

      Fernandes 150.5% EO
      Antonio 93.5% EO
      Bamford 87.4% EO
      Son 85.9% EO

      This week is all about what Fernandes does and whether you captained him or not.

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        How is 50% of Fernandes more impactful than 100% Sterling and Stones?

        1. Bounce
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          You don't understand how EO works do you?

        2. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I do, 150% minus 100% is 50%

          200% minus 100% is 100%.

          1. Deulofail
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            You can't argue with a true opinion Ginkapo!

            1. Ginkapo FPL
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Have you seen my posts over the years?

          2. Bounce
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Who has 200% EO?

        Happy to cap Bruno and have others though frightened of Justin and Soucek!

      1. MikeS

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Would still keep him as he will have another double Pope would come in for DDG mate

    24. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Another game week, another week Fernandes has 143% EO. Most boring FPL player in a long time.

      1. Party time
          3 years, 1 month ago

          You went with Sonny. I want a haul from him even though Bruno is my captain

          1. Qaiss
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Did you bench Mane? :O

            1. Party time
                3 years, 1 month ago

                Hahaha... I don’t have Mané, buddy

                1. Qaiss

                  Still trying to find your team as you won't tell me 😉

          2. R.C
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            He had low ownership last week. Thats when you cap him and gain ground.

            1. Fitzy.
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Low ownership? His EO was above 100%

              1. R.C
                • 6 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                No it wasn't. It was 97%

                1. Fitzy.
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 12 Years
                  3 years, 1 month ago

                  Check the top 10k stats, they're the only ones that count.

                  1. Hazz
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 6 Years
                    3 years, 1 month ago

                    Yup. Everyone owns him, but captaincy % was just under 10% of those. Still tipped the scale >100.

        • MikeS
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Ended up with 2 ft's and this for next week (6dgw):

          Areola-(Martinez)
          Dias-mee-stones-(justin-dallas)
          Salah-bruno-grealish-gundogan-(son)
          Dcl-bamford-antonio

          Any obvious transfers? Maybe son to raphina?

        • EmreCan Hustle
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Early DGW 24 planning.

          Bench 1.
          A) Son (mci)
          B) Maddison (LIV)
          C) Soucek (SHU)
          D) Bamford (ars)
          E) Watkins (bha)

          Plan to turn one of Soucek, Maddison or Son to Gundogan.

          Thanks.

            I'm top of my ML and 2nd and 3rd both put the armband on Antonio.
            I put it on Bamford and I don't even own Antonio, bricking it to say the least

            • 10 Years

            Any chance KdB is back for the DGW24?

            1. R.C
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              No, not back in training even

            2. Free Hat
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              I hope not.
              The more chances that Gundo plays twice.

            3. Karan14
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Doubt it. Although he could be back for GW26.

              Wow. No Bruno or utd. Didnt see that for a long time here.

              But plenty indeed.

            Lateriser has done it again!
            Talking about capping Son and then capping Antonio.
            What's the whole point in taking their advice when all they do is lie?

            1. Free Hat
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Maybe he wants to protect us from his bad decisions

            2. Here's Tom with the We…
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              I thought Lateriser said, he would make his decision after watching Son against Chelsea?

              1. Eh, just one more thing ...
                • 12 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                This.

            3. Rolls-Royce
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Anyone can have a change of heart. Why base your decision on other people's opinions?

              1. Sanchit
                • 8 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                A change of heart every week?
                Nobody ever knows when he has a differential captain.
                Martial/Werner/Bruno/Antonio/Kane are some instances I know of when he said something else in his pod and captained someone else.
                I'm okay if he doesn't want to share his captain, but why be delusional and suggest people a different option than the one you're capping?

            4. Qaiss
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Not much wrong with that tbh, Antonio is more of a differential captain.

              That was Mark this week. Mark is the 'pro-pundit' I respect the most, he's a king but he had large doubts about Son and Spurs and then of course brings him in on Saturday morning. 😉

                  I stopped being a member when I lost the faith. Although ironically the members area is the best thing about FFS, I think.
