How Arteta has revitalised Arsenal’s attack and what it means for FPL managers

Mikel Arteta’s recent changes to his Arsenal team appear to have been getting the best out of his attacking options.

Even though the Gunners’ upcoming fixtures are not the most appealing, Fantasy Premier League managers would do well to keep an eye on north London.

Accordingly, we have analysed the fortunes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.3m), Emile Smith Rowe (£4.5m), Bukayo Saka (£5.3m) and Alexandre Lacazette (£8.3m) after fourth win in five Premier League games.

    Trent has more - scores than double digit hauls this season. Worlds away from his form last season. No coincidence either

    1. Party time
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I still can’t believe how terrible he has been this season

        Wow! I’ve just seen the Werner goal. That is NEVER an offside. Why the hell is PL so rigged...

        Werner & his owners hard done by there

        Is Shaw a trap? Considering putting him in for either Bellerin or Dier.

        1. DAZZ

          3 years, 9 months ago

          Ive wondered this myself but Telles will always be waiting in the wings regardless of Shaws form

          He's been excellent this season tbh, watched him against City and Liverpool recently and to me he was clearly MOTM in both games. Only real fear I'd have is more to do with MU defensively as a whole but they have looked better of late.

        Where do i hide this gw guys???

        Only 70(-4) with just 5 players left now. Punished so hard this GW 🙁

        Only positive is ive got all the chips and somehow still inside top 30k

        1. fc_skrald
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          That is a lot of positive! If only I had that rank!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          That’s not a bad score imo, I’m on 79(-4) with 6 players including KDB(tc) I’m quite happy.

          Very nice rank and with all chips should be a top10k finish

        3. Nightcrawler

          Thanks guys

          Depends on how much effort you put into DGW.

        5. LC1
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Could be worse. I'm on 52 (-8) and have dropped over 300k this GW already.

          Nail in the coffin for me this season and will probably call it quits early doors. Hope the rest of your GW works out okay!

      • Bielsa Murderball
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        A) ESR + Kane
        B) Antonio + Son ?

        1. fc_skrald
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          B I guess but all 4 could do very well.

        2. mojoindojo

          B

      • fc_skrald
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I'm having the day off and all I want to do is to think about fpl 🙂 What would you do with this team?

        a. Lowton -> Mitchell
        b. Wilson -> Antonio
        c. other suggestions

        Martínez
        Cancelo, Tierney, Coufal
        Son, Salah, Fernandes, Grealish
        Wilson, Bamford, Kane

        Button, Lowton, Burke, Douglas
        2 free transfer, 0.5 million in the bank

        1. Bielsa Murderball
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          B, did the same thing here.

        2. mojoindojo
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          B looks good

          Thanks all. I hope he will stay fit for next gw.

      • Party time
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I would be pretty chuffed up if Kdb(C) MASTERCLASS occurs tonight

          We feast!

          1. grumpyman
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Think it’ll be a tight game tbh. I’ve TC’d KDB and would be happy enough with any score that takes him over 10 points for the game week.

          2. Bury94
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Just a goal and a clean sheet and we're talking 30 points for him, not too much to ask!

        • afsr
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Bottomed
          Have a good team but not sure which way to take it forward

          Martinez, Forster
          Dallas, Maguire, Stones, Mitchell, Creswell
          Bruno, KdB, Salah, Son, Soucek
          Bamford, Antonio, Watkins

          1FT, 1.2 ITB

          A - Son, Watkins -> Kane, Gundogan (over 2 GW)
          B - Creswell -> Cancelo/Dias
          C - Son-> Maddison/Barnes
          D - Salah -> Rashford
          E - Soucek -> Gundogan
          F - save

          1. mojoindojo
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            B to Dias for safety or Cancelo for high ceiling

          2. g40steve
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            B or E

          3. Catilo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Save

        • as33
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Sterling should start today?

        • mojoindojo
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Took Maddison out (had him for 3 weeks) on WC to accommodate Vardy.
          And it was a logical decision at the time.

          1. fc_skrald
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Logical thinking often fails when playing fpl 🙂

            1. mojoindojo
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Also did the illogical move of getting Mount as Maddison replacement.

        • g40steve
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          West Ham assets time to move or hold?

          1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Depends how many you have but I'd say hold, Palace, Fulham, Sheffield Utd all to come in next 5 gws and they're in form

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years

            Palace, villa, Fulham, Sheffield

          3. mojoindojo
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Keeping Coufal and Antonio for now. Got rid of Soucek for Saka.

          4. R.C.
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Their fixtures don't turn until GW25

          5. g40steve
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Thinking Soucek to ESR, 4.5 cheap mid scoring for fun?

          6. Hotdogs for Tea
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Monitor Leeds & Southampton for a double in GW23 .... same price brackets as most of our WHU players so a good to consider then

        • Botman and Robben
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Pick one to play?

          A) Dallas
          B) Coufal
          C) Bednarek

          1. Miguel Sanchez
            • 8 Years

            B

        • FCSB
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Martinez
          Robertson Stones Cancelo Coufal
          Salah KDB Fernandes Soucek
          Vardy Bamford

          Forster Raphinha Brewster Ferguson

          1 FT, 0.2 itb

          I'm pretty set on saving the FT but who should I 'bench' out of:

          1. Coufal (cry)
          2. Raphinha (new)
          3. Soucek (cry)

          Thanks.

          2. Botman and Robben
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Has to be Villa.

          3 years, 9 months ago

          How do you think villa will do tonight ? Always find it quite interesting after a break, will they have gone past ‘rested’ and into ‘rusty’ and not match fit, what a horrible game to have as your first one back

          1. grumpyman
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Think City might be expecting an easy game but will struggle against a side that’s had a good rest. 1-1 my prediction.

          2. Warby84
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Think city will beat them 2-0

          3. R.C.
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Villa will win 2-1

              • 4 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Wow, so yo obviously think the break will have benefited them, personally I think it’s been to long and they are going to get leggy after 60 mins

            • 7 Years

          5. Hotdogs for Tea
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Villa will be half baked and missing a few players - easy win for City

        • Bielsa Murderball
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Does ESR have a significant goal threat or is it only assist potential?

          1. Footieboot
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Mostly assist but will get a few goals as well for sure if he gets consistent gametime.

          Start Saka (sou) over Soucek (cry) and Dallas (new)?

          If yes, which as first sub, Soucek or Dallas?

            Yes

            Dallas first sub imo. Decent chance of a clean sheet the way Newcastle are playing.

          Play one?

          a) Raphinha
          b) Holding
          c) Mitchell

          Has to be Raph against Newcastle? Or is there high cs potential in the other two?
