Can Aubameyang prove a worthy alternative premium FPL midfielder?

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.

    Time for DGW Ings part 2, surely he won’t disappoint again...

      Think he will...

        I’m probably going to fall for it still....I just hope he at least starts both now he’s had a recent rest

    Was that a DGW we just had? The only reason I ask is that my team looking at the points gained hasn't realised it was 😆

    Anyway, hope you all have a decent week, catch you soon!

      Sterling owners, what are you doing? Sell, hold or even captain?

      Long suffering owner.

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        Hold, not sure I can stomach captaining him or seeing him haul if I sell

        1. DMil
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 23 days ago

          Probably the right decision, on balance. It’s just frustrating when he’s blocking my route to other City assets. The lad couldn’t finish his dinner right now

      2. PompeyUpNorth!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        If I had him I’d captain n go for it tbh

      3. Slurpy
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        I'll keep him but i've been of a cliff captaining him this he seems to never return when I do.

      4. Nedvěd11
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        I am holding and currently captain...

    9. si
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 23 days ago

      The spurs heat map at home to a Burnley in a 4-0 win is just nuts. You would assume they were away at Bayern Munich. Pope is in more attacking positions than Bale.

    10. Nespinha
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 23 days ago

      Transfer out Sterling for Son/Bale?

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        Sterling has a DGW so could backfire

        1. Nespinha
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 23 days ago

          He only plays one game, and even in one game hes been useless

      2. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        Before double GW?

        1. Nespinha
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 23 days ago

          SGW since he doesn't play both as we could see last GW

          1. Sgt Frank Drebin
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 23 days ago

            Hard to say really. I would risk personally

            1. Sgt Frank Drebin
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 23 days ago

              Wouldn't*

      3. PompeyUpNorth!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        Nah

    11. Viper
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 23 days ago

      A. Pope -> Martinez

      B. DCL -> Antonio

      C. Bruno -> Son (Bench Soucek)

      Which move stands out?

      1. PompeyUpNorth!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        I’d hold DCL until theres n chance he doesn’t have a double week 28, so if you have to do 1, I’d say A or B so I’ve narrowed it down a bit for you

      2. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        B

    12. PompeyUpNorth!

      3 years, 23 days ago

      Desperate for some advice please folks. Am really stuck. Been on a roll. Up to 154000 after a dreadful start.
      Thinking Shaw to Cresswell?

      Martinez (Areola)

      Shaw stones Cancelo

      Gundo (C) Salah Bruno Son (Raphina)

      Watkins Bamford DCL
      1.7 ITB 1 transfer no chips.
      Cheers!

      1. Kuzser
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        I’d actually play Raph and bench Dcl.
        Who are your other defs that you want to get Shaw out?don’t like Rudiger?

        1. PompeyUpNorth!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 23 days ago

          Yep Rudiger is cool but no game week 29. I need week 29 players I think or roll?

      2. PompeyUpNorth!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

      GTG?

      Subs correct

      Martinez
      Dawson, Dias, Stones
      Gundogan (c), Salah, Bruno, Raphinha, Lingard
      Kane, Bamford

      Areola, DCL, Dallas, Keane

      1. Kuzser

    14. EWH2020

      Salah, Bruno to Son, KDB -4?

    15. Kuzser
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 23 days ago

      Who to play from these 2 guys?
      A) White (LEI)
      B) Pereira (bha)

      They play against each other. Heads says White, as Brighton very strong defensively at home, but heart says Ricky P

      1. PompeyUpNorth!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        Pereira is so, so attacking.. I’d go him personally but it’s a tough call

      2. AzzaroMax99
        • 7 Years

        I have both, 0-0 would be ideal xD

                  How the hell should I line this lot up? Currently got it set like this:

                  Martinez
                  Cancelo, Digne, Shaw
                  Salah, Bruno, Gundogan, Minamino, Jota
                  Ings, Cavani

                  Mendy, DCL, Tarkowski, Strujik.3itb no ft no hits

                  bench Digne Dallas or Watkins?

                    Digne

                  A quiz. Do you know who has so far the highest non penalty xG per 90 minutes stat this season?

                  1. Paqueta Rice
                    • 3 Years
                    3 years, 23 days ago

                    Rashford maybe? Seems to get so many 1v1 and miss

                    1. Sgt Frank Drebin
                      • 7 Years
                      3 years, 23 days ago

                      Rashford only has 0.31 non penalty xG/90. However Cavani is 2nd with 0.64

                      1. Sgt Frank Drebin
                        • 7 Years
                        3 years, 23 days ago

                        Michail Antonio is first with 0.72 npxG/90

                6. AzzaroMax99
                  • 7 Years
                  3 years, 23 days ago

                  Is it worth to go Steer to Johnston for -8 to have 2nd playing keeper for BB? Other transfers were Barnes+DCL to Mount+Antonio

                  • 6 Years
                  3 years, 23 days ago

                  Forster ¦ Martinez
                  Cancelo Reguilon Stones
                  Bruno Gundogan Son Saka
                  Kane Ings Bamford
                  | Rashford Holding Coufal

                  Would you start someone from the bench??

                  Thoughts on a move for this week?

                  Martinez
                  Cancelo / Maguire / Stones
                  Son / Bruno / Salah / Gundo (c)
                  Bamford / Richarlson / Vardy

                  Bench: Foster, Smith Rowe*, Coufal, Douglas*

                  1ft and 0.5 itb

                  I still have my WC, BB and TC.

                  A. Play wildcard
                  B. Maguire --> Reguillon or a spurs defender
                  C. Vardy --> Antonio
                  D. Any suggestions?

                  Thanks!

                    Don’t need wildcard yet? Bring in Tierney maybe for a punt?
