Aubameyang and Lacazette both start for Arsenal

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.4m) and Alexandre Lacazette (£9.6m) were both named on the Arsenal team sheet for Gameweek 16.

Unai Emery had rested the Frenchman in both of the Gunners’ previous two Premier League matches but he is back in the line-up for the first time since Gameweek 12.

Arsenal look to be lining up with a back-three and wing-backs with Stephan Lichtsteiner (£4.5m) coming in for the injured Rob Holding (£4.4m).

Glenn Murray (£6.7m) has been left among the substitutes for the fourth time in Brighton’s last six away matches. In his place is Florin Andone (£5.0m) making his second start in three. Leon Balogun (£4.2m) replaces the suspended Shane Duffy (£4.7m) at centre-back.

Romelu Lukaku (£10.7m) returns to the Manchester United starting line-up while Anthony Martial (£7.5m) was not considerd fit enough to face Fulham, and neither was Eric Bailly (£5.0m).

As expected, Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez (£6.3m) leads the West Ham line in the absence of Marko Arnautovic but Lucas Perez (£6.2m) also gets a start. It will be interesting to see if he operates out wide or as a second centre-forward.

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace named an unchanged side from the line-up that lost 3-1 at Brighton midweek.

    How to sabatoge your season in one easy step; wildcard when you don't need to.

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Thats why my tactic is to ruin my team as much as possible first 6 gameweeks, then wildcard to the same team i started with.

  23. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    i'm sorry Laca owners and captainers.

    Now go and get some Auba!

  24. Bubz

    Mitro off when 3-0 down?! Wtf

  25. AnfieldLad
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Worst wildcard ever... Salah, Robbo out. TAA Wilson Laca (c) in...

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

      rough

    2. Park the bus
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      at least you'll feature on rough with the smooth this week...

    3. Win'dian
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      really a wild card, but could've gone either way

    4. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Too rough...

  26. Numb
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Bad as a Laca owner, but Auba will be the main man now

  27. TAT
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Must be feeling that injury again, Lacazette. Can't see why he'll get subbed otherwise.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yep, makes no sense - chasing the game you want your best players on the pitch, he must not be 100%

      1. TAT
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        As an owner I'll deffo keep if only a slight injury. Makes Auba more nailed to play if it's an ongoing issue.

  28. Royal5
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Thank God Aubamayang stayed on. Brutal for Laca owners.

  29. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Yessss laca off! Come on auba
