Can Aubameyang prove a worthy alternative premium FPL midfielder?

492 Comments
Share

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang‘s (£11.3m) recent form and upcoming fixtures have put him on the Fantasy Premier League radar for the end of the 2020/21 season.

Between Gameweeks 27 and 38, Arsenal face just three matches against the current top six and their number 14 has double-digit hauls in two of his last three 90-minute league outings.

Aubameyang was a commonly-owned asset at the start of the campaign but some shaky form and poor performances saw Fantasy managers largely replace him with a Manchester City midfielder or Bruno Fernandes (£11.6m).

With two blanks in a row and a tough run of fixtures coming up, many are wavering on the Manchester United man while the Citizens’ midfield has been a rotation minefield of late. Could now be the time to consider Aubameyang once again?

With Arsenal featuring in Blank Gameweek 29, we have taken a comprehensive look at the data from our Premium Members Area to compare the two players, and other big budget options in midfield.

    Any suggestions on who I should replace H Barnes with? Will have up to £9m to spend.

    Apologies as i'm sure this has been asked before, but I have all 3, who to captain?
    1) Gundo
    2) Stirling
    3) Cancelo

    I"m leaning stirling now... but seems the biggest risk/reward.
