Dugout Discussion – Arsenal vs Leicester

The 2017/18 season gets underway this evening as Arsenal entertain Leicester City at the Emirates Stadium.

With last season’s top scoring Fantasy Premier League (FPL) player Alexis Sanchez stuck on the sidelines through injury, the stage is set for new arrival Alexandre Lacazette to make an immediate impact.

Boasting an FPL ownership of 17%, he’s is the most popular Arsenal player after netting 28 times in Ligue 1 for Lyon last season.

Encouragingly for the hosts, Lacazette scored six goals in his last four opening day appearances in the French top division.

Fellow new arrival Sead Kolasinac also makes his Premier League bow tonight – he’s owned by 12% on the back of Sunday’s Community Shield strike against Chelsea.

With clashes against Man United, Chelsea and Liverpool also to follow in the first six Gameweeks, Leicester’s key assets have been mainly overlooked.

Only 4% have taken a punt on Jamie Vardy, who averaged a healthy seven points per appearance under Craig Shakespeare in the latter stages of 2016/17.

The Foxes also face promoted pair Brighton and Huddersfield over that period, though, affording us a chance to scout Vardy and new strike partner Kelechi Iheanacho as potential differentials up top.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Your seasons aren't over yet people. There is still 68,310 minutes of football left in the season.

    1. Deulofail

      Yeah but Iwobi didn't play, so...

      Great maths. Did you use a calculator?

        Correct. Good work.

    Was Mahrez back to his best?

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

      No

    2. Bushido
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Vardy was

    3. thepeen555
      • 8 Years

      Hurry up and leave I say

    4. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…

      Majored looked pretty good... Pep to his step; some goal threat

      1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Mahrez^^

  4. GinjaWhinja

    Who's pulling the trigger to get him in tonight then?

    Mr Kolasinacov

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

      Again, we learnt nothing in this match we didn't know already, except that he could have played LWB if Mertesacker played. If anything, he's a worse pick now than he was a few hours ago.

      1. SAUCY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Points on the board speaks volumes though

    2. Debauchy

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No need. Have him already.

    4. Bushido
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Everyone get him please. I need the extra money from a price rise

    5. VS10_
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Have him but wouldn't be in too much of a rush to get him with those fixtures and defensive problems (that hopefully will be solved soon but doubt that will happen in a week).

      1. Old Bull
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I got him with the view that he's an extra midfielder
        Not expecting too many CS

        1. Debauchy
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          take 5 a game with no cs

        2. VS10_
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Exactly the same but I think until that Chelsea game in week five there will be similarly priced defenders who outscore him unless Wenger works some magic.

    6. Odikostar

      I'll wait for gw 5 thank you very much

    Iwobi was a punt. Saved 0.5 to upgrade him to Ritchie if he failed. Need Tom Carroll to at least start.

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

      Need RLC to go big myself 😀

    2. dunas_dog

      Sane here and I will get Ake off bench

        * Same not Sane!!!

    3. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      I was on the Iwobi ride too. He is our new troll. We will all sell him before next week, then suddenly next week he starts and scores 😆

    4. Ibracadabra
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      So glad he didn't get on and it was Walcott at the end instead. Have Alexander-Arnold first off the bench at Watford, not too flustered.

  8. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Wtf was I thinking getting arsenal defender.

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah but they're not all back, relax.

      1. Debauchy

        This^^
        Kos is the key to their defensive structure... all falls apart without his leadership

    2. BrutalLogiC
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      depends which one

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Bellerin

    3. Deulofail
      • 8 Years

      If you're talking about Holding then yeah, wtf.

    Ramsey V Wijnaldum V Zaha, the battle of the 7.0

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 8 Years

      V Willian

    2. BrutalLogiC

      Willian/Fabr

    3. bojack

      Battle of the 6.0s for me.

    4. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      For now, Willian and Zaha, for later when Ramsey fully fit and nailed, Ramsey! Dont bother Wij

  10. Big_Andy_GAWA

    Vardy price-rises be through the roof now ahead of plum home tie. Lol.

    1. Bushido
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I can't afford him 🙁

    2. PogChamp
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Hope so. Just as pleased with his points tonight as not having to transfer him in for Brighton.

  11. FPL Emu

    Can other people see your waiver requests?

    In the draft that is? Don't want to give people ideas

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years

      no

      1. FPL Emu
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe a stupid question, but - you sure of this?

          Only through hacking. 😉
          Just make them near the cut-off time if you are really worried.

    On a scale of 1/10, 1 being terrible, 10 being incredible

    What should I expect from Astu?

      You need to hope for some great performances so he keeps starting.

      1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah... hate the 5.0-6.0 price bracket.

        A bargain always emerges though 🙂

  13. F4L

    The I think about it, the more I regret caving in and getting Kane

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Lol.

      It's ok you'll stop thinking negatively after his 28th goal of the season

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        but how many will he score Sunday 😉

        1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Newcastle aren't great at home - I'll say 2

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      *more* Why, he's the best striker in the game.

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        idk, just taking out Benteke and Mane for him felt wrong

  14. PvA
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Watched Phonebooth last night - what a film that is. Very creative as it is just 1 long running scene. It kept me on the edge of my seat

    Made in 2002, but still well worth the watch

    1. goriuanx
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Surely you've seen it before

      1. PvA
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I did, but when it was newly released over 10 years ago

        Had forgotten the plot in that time

    2. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Seen that film. Was brilliant. Farrell was great in it.

      Had u not seen it before? Watched it quite a few times, good film

      1. PvA
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yep, but over 10 years ago when I was a kid. Forgot the plot

    5. Netley Lucas
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It's okay, these things can lose a bit near the end, it was okay.

      You seen The Usual Suspects?

      1. PvA
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        No not seen that, what is it about?

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Well it starts of as a caper, then gets serious, watch it.

    I think this Man City game is gonna hurt with no Aguero or Jesus.

          Ultra maverick. Understand the logic though, city will score the most goals.

      6. Pirlø's Pen

        Danilo, KDB, Jesus...I can't wait.

        Why have Arsenal got no recognisable songs as a club. They must have the worst fans of any major team.

        1. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          They just shout Arsenal a lot

          1. bojack
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            They do. And it's not even shouting it's just a whimper.

        2. Nascimento
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          You seem rather Arsenal-obsessed

        3. PvA
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          We're by faaaar the greatest - the world has ever seen

          *to be sung after trailing Leicester City at home to get 3 points*

          *also to be sung the season after getting smashed by Bayern (again)*

        4. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I'm an Arsenal fan and I've been making up songs about Salah

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

            I guess we put our efforts into other clubs because Arsenal are so friendly like that

        5. Cato Fong 你好
          • 8 Years

          They need to set up an ultras section, something needs to happen!

          huh?

          It's the only ground I'll sit with the home fans and openly celebrate when we score away. Wet fans

        Anyone else not able to see rival's teams yet? When I open a league all I see is 'Players to be added after the next points update' a list of teams and players underneath, but no link to the teams.

              It just has to be...

              Mustafi (Mertesacker) Koscielny Monreal
              Chamberlain Kolasinac

              Right?

                • 8 Years

                I'd say it should be quite easy for Wenger yeah. Ox wouldn't be nailed, but likely first choice most matches I'd say. Can't se Mert featuring without injuries

        Crikey the template of:

        KDB Salah Zaha Ritchie

        Kane Lukaku Gabbiadini

        Its everywhere I look 😆

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Not me:
          KDB - Eriksen - Zaha - Willian
          Lukaku - Firmino

          1. F4L
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            nice Diesel; I bottled my front 7 of:

            KDB Mane Salah Pogba Zaha

            Lukaku Benteke

            And turned into the template 😐

            You not worried about lack of premium strikers however?

            1. diesel001
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Just think Eriksen and Firmino will outscore Kane and some crap midfielder priced at 6.0 or below. If Spurs score goals then it will come from Eriksen, Alli and Kane.

            big 3 up top just felt a little unbalanced for my liking. Could do well though

              • 11 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Yeah, it is a little. Just feel it's the year of the striker. Easily remedied if not. A good first week would be ideal so I can roll a FT

        So I missed the match, how was/is the meltdown going ?
        Laca will.take.time to settle, I almost took Ramsey, I knew vardy was the best 3rd striker , why did I took arsenal Defender.

        1. jason_ni

          Had Ramsey in my team, And when heard he was a doubt got rid!

          Laca has good feet and an eye for the goal. he doesnt need time to settle, will hit the ground running. Arsenal strikers always light it up

        this will be the year of the wingbacks, no point in having centrebacks anymore, as clean sheets will be rare with these "new" teams

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I wouldn't judge the season on tonight's antics mate.

          1. Alexis Nonsense
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            I judge it by the teams:

            WHM: Lanzini, Ayew, Arnie, Chicharito
            EVE : Sandro, Rooney, Mirallas, prob Siggy
            BOU: King, Defoe, Stanislas
            CRY: Zaha, Townsend, Benteke
            LEI: Vardy, Mahrez, Iheanacho

            etc.

            Just 3-5 teams who doesn't have really great potensial in attacking area

        So here's my point of view following friday night game.

        ARSENAL :

        1. Kolasinac is the player that impressed me the most. He's so strong offensively and has a good left foot. He could easily have scored double figures and already racked up 1 bp. Like many said, with the returns of Koscielny, Mustafi and Mertesacker, clean sheets may come too. For 6.0m this could be a good investment. Arsenal fixtures are not great though.

        2. I think Xhaka could be a surprise. When Arsenal have +60% possession he has a lot of space in front of him, can shoot from outside the box or set-up attacking plays. It could be frustrating to see him assist the assister though. He takes corners alongside Ozil, that's a plus. He gets booked a lot, that's a minus. Could be a good 4th mid when Arsenal fixtures get greener.

        3. Lacazette did well on the pitch and could have had one assist if Walcott wasn't a dumbass. From an FPL point of fiew, it's more disappointing. Only one goal out of 4 for his team and no bps.

        To watch : Ramsey and Giroud, the frenchman seems to always score when coming out from the bench.

        LEICESTER :

        1. Vardy will get his 15+ goals this season, especially with the world cup coming. He's so fast/strong/smart and so clinical, a delight to see him play today. Could be a better 3rd midprice striker than Firmino after all.

        2. Mahrez struggled in the first half and didn't convince me that he's worth the investment. But he sure still got his magic left foot and on set pieces duties.

        1. StalkingDwarf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I also think Bellerin did very well gong forward. Made so many threatening runs where he broke free from the defenders. However, he was a little too indirect for my liking.

          1. tafrère
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Bellerin was okay but I think Kolasinac is a no brainer for 0.5 less.

        2. MTPockets
            7 years, 1 month ago

            I thought Oxlade-Chamberlain played best consistently. Not necessarily for fpl though.

            1. tafrère
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              In my opinion he's the type of player that will frustrate you. Will get shots, will touch the ball near the opposite keeper, but won't get much return.

              1. MTPockets
                  7 years, 1 month ago

                  Agree, not good fantasy pick but generally had a very good game.

              What about Mcguire?

                • 8 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                Don't fantasy him at all, he scares me with his slowness.

          • Bushido
            • 8 Years

            Hopefully Lukaku doesn't score then I can get rid of him for Jesus

            1. Netley Lucas
              • 9 Years

                • 8 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                His ownership was too high not to have him

            • 12 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Is this even close?
            1) DDG Stephens Monreal
            2) Foster Bertrand Kolasnac

            PS: Removed Kolasinac TODAY. I hate myself, for real.

            1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
              • 8 Years

              2 was definitely better.

              Did you go with 1?

              Didn't think about the team without DDG and now I regret it

              I wouldnt be ecstatic with 4 points for a 6.0 defender in what most people would have seen as a good fixture..

              1. arndff_
                • 12 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                The point is that if I was downgraded DDG, I would afford to upgrade two defenders. Also, Kolasinac price will rise after GW1.
                And I speak about the things in long-term.

                1. Catastrophe
                  • 13 Years
                  7 years, 1 month ago

                  I really wouldn't worry about it so early on lol. See how you're looking after the weekend. Fancy City, Chelsea, United and Southampton defenders to be in the points.

                  I can see a lot of people having to take hits to sort out Foster, I think West Brom are going to leak a lot of goals.
