ENCOURAGING SIGNS FOR ARSENAL ATTACK

Jesus blanks but Arsenal get off to perfect start: FPL notes 1

Arsenal were left frustrated at missing out on Champions League football last season, but there was a lot to like about their performance at Selhurst Park on Friday, especially in an attacking sense.

In the early stages, they were electric up front, with Gabriel Jesus (£8.0m) – owned by a whopping 77.1% of FPL managers at kick-off – showing glimpses that the hype built up in pre-season was justified.

The opener arrived from a set-piece routine after some sloppy marking, an ongoing issue for Palace that clearly hasn’t been fixed over the summer.

Gabriel Martinelli (£6.0m) headed home Oleksandr Zinchenko’s (£5.0m) nod back from a corner, a relief for the Brazilian after he had missed a huge chance earlier on after some good work from Jesus.

As a result, only Liverpool and Manchester City (15) have scored more Premier League goals from corners than Arsenal (14) since the start of last season, which is worth noting with Leicester City up next, another side who struggled to defend dead-ball situations in 2021/22.

Arsenal secured the three points against the run of play as Bukayo Saka’s (£8.0m) cross took a huge deflection and hit the net.

“The game he (Jesus) played right from the start is just a nightmare for defenders. He is electric, he never stops, he is always on your shoulder, he is ready to go with and without the ball and I am really pleased with his performance.” – Mikel Arteta on Gabriel Jesus

ZINCHENKO AND SALIBA IMPRESS

Oleksandr Zinchenko put in a solid shift for Arsenal at left-back, producing a 12-point haul via an assist, clean sheet and maximum bonus.

During the match, he registered one shot in the box and created two chances for his team-mates, whilst his movement often saw him invert as Arsenal settled into a 3-2-4-1 shape in possession.

And it worked very well for the most part, with Martinelli and Jesus linking up nicely in the final-third.

“Both of them (Jesus and Zinchenko), the way we started shows how hungry they are, the risks they take, the initiative they give in the game. They are really big additions for us. That is something he (Zinchenko) gives, that ability and versatility – and it is something we don’t have.” – Mikel Arteta

Elsewhere, French defender William Saliba (£4.5m) made his first start in an Arsenal shirt and was excellent, while Aaron Ramsdale (£5.0m) made two important saves to deny Odsonne Edouard (£5.5m) and Eberechi Eze (£5.5m), ensuring the Gunners clean sheet was kept intact.

“Wili (Saliba) was phenomenal – his relationship with Gabriel, his understanding with the back four, for him to play his first Premier League game away from home against Palace, really credit to the boy because he stood with a big presence and a lot of composure.” – Mikel Arteta

Mikel Arteta’s side now have an appealing set of games to come, which includes back-to-back matches against newly-promoted sides in Gameweeks 3 and 4.


PALACE START SLOWLY

Palace improved as the game wore on, with Edouard and Eze forcing Ramsdale into a couple of fine stops, but a slow start essentially cost them.

Patrick Vieira had said on Thursday that his team were behind tactically after being split up during pre-season, and it was evident as Arsenal launched wave after wave of attacks in the early stages.

Eze, meanwhile, didn’t see enough of the ball during that spell but improved significantly after the break and should have scored, while Joachim Andersen’s (£4.5m) long-range passes to the flanks caught the eye.

“It’s something we spoke about: we know Arsenal shuffle a lot and switch sides, so it worked well. I found Wilf and Jordan a few times.” – Joachim Andersen

However, the Eagles will be disappointed with their start in Gameweek 1, and it doesn’t get any easier with trips to Liverpool and Man City in their next three fixtures.

“Football is about trying to score goals and we played against a good side. It’s really difficult to control the game against teams that have really good players. We had the ball, we had situations but we didn’t create very much. In the key moments, we didn’t score to lift the crowd and build momentum. That is something we have to work on.” – Patrick Vieira


Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, Clyne, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell, Doucoure (Milivojevic 75), Schlupp (Hughes 86), Eze (Ebiowei 86), Ayew, Zaha, Edouard (Mateta 58)

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko (Tierney 83), Partey, Xhaka, Saka, Odegaard (Lokonga 90+3), Martinelli, Jesus (Nketiah 83)

  2. tokara
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Can we now have more than 3 players from one club?

    Saw some teams with 4 from Arsenal!!!

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      They got zinch before he went to city. Gotta replace an arsenal as next transfer

      1. tokara
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Oh.... Didnt know that is even possible

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      7 years...

      They had Zinchenko in their team before his transfer to Arsenal.

      1. tokara
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Lol cracks me up

    3. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      If you bought them before they transferred to a new club, yes. Same every year 🙂

      First transfer will need to include the sale of the player(s) that are outside of the game restrictions

      1. tokara
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Thanks for explaining

    4. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Only short term. Those teams would have had a player from another club who then later moved to Arsenal. As soon as they try to make a transfer they will be forever to sell an Arsenal player to bring it down to 3.

    Skysports news are currently showing people’s FPL teams.
    FPL has taken over.

    1. tokara
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      No more Ukraine war?

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Not much sports in Ukraine right now.

    2. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Famous names?

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Sky sports in general has had a drastic decline in recent years with the soccer saturday panel but sky sports news is unwatchable at times. The introduction of fan chats with youtubers, transfer shows with people from twitter so any credibility they have went a long time ago.

      Not surprised they are talking about FPL now, they seem to have nothing else to do.

      1. LangerznMash
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        It’s surprising because Skysports have their own fantasy football game!

      2. JELLYFISH
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Sky Sports news died to me the day Kirsty left.

      3. Hairy Potter
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        I suppose they have to fill the 24 hours of broadcasting and filling some of it with free opinion pieces from joe public and social media types keeps costs down.

        Soccer Saturday is terrible now, apart from Stelling, who I hope is on stupid money for carrying the channel.

    Score predictions for today folks? I'll start:

      LEE is weaker than last season

      1. adstomko
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        So are Wolves

      2. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        We don't know that - new players.

        Mostly agree altho' I don't see BOU and SOT troubling the onion bag.

    2. Jock Grealish
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Fulham 3-1

    3. LangerznMash
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      I’d take that (apart from Bournemouth scoring).
      However Dele Alli will score today.

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Bournemouth are awful, have a feeling villa will destroy them

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        As a Villa fan I've a feeling that we won't........we never start well.

        First day optimism on Leeds United?

        Wolves will keep it tight.

          Safest time for optimism 😉
          Actually I'm really not sure what to expect from Wolves. They were solid, but in defiance of xGC. Could also be more open trialling a back 4

    Sorry guys, just trying to catch-up...

    What's the general vibe after last night please?

    A - Season over / acc deleted
    B - Swapped Zinc for Tripp jusb4 the deadline
    C - This game is all luck
    D - Jesus can't finish as usual

    1. PlayPercentage
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      A. Season has been a complete and utter disaster. I picked Jesus and he didn't score.

    2. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      A ofcourse

  12. maitch69
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Guys this is my squad now. Had Mart and Zinc and then swapped them for Rams and Jesus. Those who are saying Jesus will not do well give the guy a break.

    Rams-Ward
    Trips-Cancelo-TAA-Ait-Nouri-Neco
    Rash-KDB-Diaz-Bailey-Andreas
    Wilson-Kane-Jesus

    What do you guys think?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      I don't think Jesus frequents this fine fantasy football forum.

  13. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Is ward likely to start?

    Seen a few teams with iversen

    1. JELLYFISH
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Cool kids have both

      1. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Boom

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      50/50 I think for GW1

      1. lilmessipran
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Hope it's not 50/50 when it comes to mins

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 7 months ago

          Sharing the penalty saves!

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Not sure. But have Ward and Sanchez.

    4. PlayPercentage
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Toney against a rookie goalkeeper. Could be carnage.

  14. LÖrKingMuch
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Is it just my suspicious mind or does anyone else find it odd that many of the current top fpl teams after day 1 week 1 have no game week history? Experimental second teams going for day 1 glory? Why go with 3 CPL and bench Robbo and Havertz otherwise...

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Yeah, Vidar Kjellsson seems to have multiple teams.

      1. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        I keep thinking that Vidar name is a pun that I'm just not getting

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      It's a complete multi punt for 15 'minutes of fame.

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Botted teams with aim of getting highest GW score for the day.

    4. Dannyb

  15. Piggs Boson

    Finally made bacon pancakes. On the bucket list.

    It was weird. wtf Americans.

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      With maple syrup?

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Yeah. Came with the set.

        Frozen from Aldi 😆

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          1 year, 7 months ago

          Microwaving the bacon shut off my power. Had to flip the circuit breaker 😆

          1. Hairy Potter
            • 8 Years
            1 year, 7 months ago

            Microwaving bacon just sounds wrong.

        2. Drexl Spivey
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 7 months ago

          Aldi and weird cuisine do appear to go hand in hand.

          1. Piggs Boson
            • 12 Years
            1 year, 7 months ago

            I had the 'bacon pancakes' song in my head when I was shopping. When I saw the bacon pancakes it wasn't even an option, had to get them! Didn't even know they were a real thing...

    2. Herman Toothrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Add bacon and maple syrup and you're there

    1. The FPL Units

      Own him

    2. Hairy Potter

      The same thing we do every day. Try to take over the world.

  18. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Am I correct in saying that it would be an absolute facepalm getting rid of Jesus GW1 when he will still be the highest owned player?

    GW2 haul incoming!

    1. Tabasco
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Course it would be, why?

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Just checking 🙂

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      His upcoming fixtures are good. Away to Palace was the one I less sold on, but thought he looked decent.

      1. AIRMILES
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Agree with this

    3. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Little bit, yeah. But he's a Darwin or Wilson waiting to happen.

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Darwin the scientist, or Darwin the player?

        1. Drexl Spivey
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 7 months ago

          The scientist, mate.

          1. Cruyff's Eleven
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            1 year, 7 months ago

            Yeah, still makes no sense to me. I'm sorry.

    4. riot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      He played well, no reason to get rid. Forget about ownership

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        If has a massive haul and you do not own him it would matter, espicially if you used an FT to remove him for another forward which may blank.

        That is how this game works lol

    5. Oscar Slater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      I think there were a lot of people who thought that the Palace game was going to be tricky (myself included) and were waiting to GW2 to get their Arsenal player of choice. Leicester were mediocre away from home last season and Jesus could possibly haul. He can't score in every game remember!

    6. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Sell away. I’m buying in GW3

  19. Jafooli

      Yes, apparently they're already relegated.

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Along with Bournemouth & Everton.

        That's the bottom of the table sorted, only the top part to sort

        1. Hairy Potter
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 7 months ago

          Big Sam to save Everton when he's appointed in a month or so.

    3. AC/DC AFC

      Nah, a one sided affair.

      A sunny Saturday by the Thames at quaint cottage.

      They're going to score and wipe the clean sheets!

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Mitro to do a Pukki is on the cards

        1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
          • 10 Years

          Yeah, get relegated

          1. SADIO SANÉ
            • 8 Years
            1 year, 7 months ago

            no need for that

    4. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years

      No Dempsey in the line up

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm

        Loved him

    5. DA Minnion (Former great)

    Instead of hiding behind the couch, I'd advise non Salah owners to quickly nip out to the nearest Mothercare and invest in a potty.

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      I have a toilet in my living room already thanks. Adding a potty would just be weird

        Do you screen it off when guests come?

    2. Cruyff's Eleven

    Cornet to West Ham - FPL cost?

    1. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      6.0 me thinks

  25. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    All 3 of us in my mini-league for good-close-old-buddies have Darwin, and one captained him. We haven't talked about FPL before the deadline. Was not expecting this situation.

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      One of them gets Guehi's -1 off the bench if Darwin doesn't play 😀

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        would be shocked if he didn't come on, reckon he bags a goal and all

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Quite expected.

      Klopp virtually said it yesterday.

      Could easily score from the bench to turbocharge the Liverpool come back?!

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        I didn't expect the situation of the 3 of us having 4x Darwins in GW1. Was expecting just 1 (me!).

        Managers will always manage expectations, though. What they actually do isn't always as conservative as what they say, otherwise it would be too easy for the opponents!

        But yeah, I'm hoping for the turbo-charging!

    3. The Knights Template
