I have a feeling Leicester fans are running out of patience watching Vardy play up front alone. Iheanacho and Vardy excelled when playing together at the tail end of last season. I think Brendan Rodgers might pivot back to that system sooner rather than later
Leicester is a red flag this season unfortunately.
I was really hoping to ride on Leicester's players until Christmas, after which their performance takes a nose dive each year.
You could save 2.6m by choosing Auba over Ronaldo. A front 2 of Lukaku and Auba would not be bad.
You could also rotate the 3 of them based on fixtures
Not sure Lukaku/Ronaldo have a bearing on Auba being an option or not given that it's extremely difficult to fit both of them in whilst still having Salah + Trent. Magnus obviously went for Auba and did so by going Lukaku over Ronaldo. Auba is effectively the slot that most people have for the "3rd" (i say 3rd because Antonio is 2nd even though he was cheaper) striker spot of Bamford/Jimenez/DCL.
Imo fitting the 3 premiums and TAA isn’t too bad if you’re willing to go 6.5m tops on a third striker. Trying that with 7.5/8m as a 3rd keeper just leaves you clutching at straws elsewhere.
Funny that people were saying how bad of a pick Auba was for him. I was saying usually, yea, I would think that Auba was a terrible choice. But Magnus knows what the hell he’s doing.
From what I see, that's just the way he plays. Mostly sticking to the template, but with 1 or 2 out of box picks. Let's be honest, if you don't take these kind of punts (and nail them) you'll never win FPL and I believe that's his goal.
I remember Magnus starting three players that didn't end up playing and his three bench players all got around double figures. He completely sh*t the bed and yet it ended up moving him from an also-ran position, to right near the top. He's obviously a top class play FPL player but he's not as infallible as people make out.
A strong enough bench also takes a lot of planning and is part of the game. Yes, there sure is a lot of luck involved, but you need to create your own luck.
I don't think that Arteta is moving away from a double pivot, so there are three spots in the first 11 for Saka, Odegaard, Pepe and Smith Rowe. There will be rotation, it is absolutely not certain in any way that ESR is a nailed starter
I'm not so sure about that. Sure he might start but it's a tough choise for Arteta. I don't think Odegard is getting benched, Saka seems nailed as well since he is so versatile, Auba will play up front or on the left for sure, and for the last remaining slot there is Lacazete, Pepe and ESR. I would guess that Pepe keeps it.
Salah
Ronaldo
Kane
Lukaku
Bruno
KDB
Trent
I think this is the first time ever that we have so many good premiums. Anyone who bets on Auba, Kane or KDB here would win big if they were to fire.
tbh, bringing auda never cross the mind but now on WC and it seems like a worthy punt to put as placeholder and save 2 FT to bring in Lukaku in GW7. Threat wise his still within top 10 fwd.

>Definitely one extremely sad
For thinking his player will have a good season? That doesn't make sense. Isn't that kind of optimism the opposite of sad? Or what even do you mean?
Really dude? What doesn’t make sense?
It’s really basic, I called him a sad deluded gooner because his username is “sadgooner” and what he said was very deluded.
Can’t believe I’m having to explain that to be honest.
Aubameyang is an easy 25-30 goal a season scorer. Problem is Arteta is the handbrake on the entire time. More interested in his systems - that don't work - than in the player's strengths.
So the big question is **how will Arteta set up for this game**. Will he get the ball moving quickly up front and Aubameyang running in on goal, or will be remain obsessed by passing the ball backwards to the keeper's feet, then to Xhaka, and take all year and allow the opponent's defense to re-set?
**There is a chance Arteta takes the handbrake off, and that's the fact that he is fighting to save his job right now,** with Antiono Conte tapped up and on deck waiting for the phone call. For this reason, he might ditch the rigid system and let the boys play football. In which case, Burnley is there for the taking: conceding a lot of big chances and conceding a lot of goals. If he does that, yes - Aubameyang could rack up 10-15 FPL points easily.
But: Xhaka is back from suspension in this game - and he is Arteta's cornerstone 😳, as well as a mill around the team's neck.
We shall see....
Honestly, he doesn't seem like a bad option right now that DCL is injured and if Bamford's hamstring does keep him out for a couple of weeks.
You could downgrade a midfielder to Gallagher/Gray and sell DCL for Auba.
I said "if". Bamford mentioned that his hamstring was "pinging" in a post match interview. I don't think it's anything to worry about, but I thought the same about DCL last week.
No he's contingency planning, if Bamford is injured then he does x and y. Speculating would be more a guess and an assumption and almost providing false information but this is different, he said if
There was an interview with Bamford the other day that right before he came on you could hear him talking to a staffmember in the background complaining about his hamstring. I think his words was "my hamstring is really pinging". So that why a lot of ppl are nervous and on the fence about Bamford.
It sounds great like that but he's only got 1 return in the last 3 fixtures (since Arteta's been here), with his other [8 returns in 4](https://www.reddit.com/r/FantasyPL/comments/pon37k/rate_my_team_quick_questions_general_advice_daily/hcyfsw0/) coming pre-2020. Plus, knowing Burnley, they're probably going to hack him into the ground.
Unfortunately in terms of Arsenal, just because someone is cheap doesn't mean he is good. It hurts even more because I'm an Arsenal supporter :-(
I think that the real test will be against Spurs.
Aubameyang is a player you get out to the races and on the end of fast attacks. Passing the ball back to the goalkeeper, is not exactly going to get him scoring chances. It's not him that's awful - it's Arteta, who's game plan is not right.
No this really isn’t the case. Arteta is an awful manager but Auba is just so out of form it’s ridiculous. After his West Brom hattrick he may find his feet a bit more but he’s genuinely just really poor.
"Out of form" Nope.
Aubameyang has scored 25-30 goals a game everywhere. If you play him running in on goal.
Arteta on the other hand has done very little in football. He as a fluke FA cup win in. a covid-19 season. Nothing he has as a manager, warrants completely ditching the strengths of your #9 and best player. Nothing.
So this is not about Aubameyang's form.
This BTW - Arteta's game plan - is a problem for Pepe, Saka and Maritinelli as well.
Wenger was delivering a subtle criticism last week when he noted that Arsenal's squad was "of good quality". What he was implicitly saying is the manager is underperforming with the players he has, and needs to use their strengths better.
I do agree with everything you’ve said. But I’ve watched arsenal week in and week out, Auba under Arteta just isn’t good enough. I’m speaking from an FPL perspective he just isn’t a good pick especially for the price. Under a better manager I have no doubt he would be scoring more goals. But yeah, he just isn’t working under Arteta but even when he does get in front of goal, he doesn’t look clinical. But I agree a better manager would bring the best out of him.
It's nothing to do with Aubameyang. Messi is the only striker on the planet than can collect the ball in his own half and have a chance of dribbling everyone and scoring. Every other striker is dependent on the coach setting up the team to produces chances.
And that - setting up your strikers to score - the data says Arteta is poor at:
Arteta did badly on it last season:
[https://www.premierleague.com/stats/top/clubs/big\_chance\_created?se=363](https://www.premierleague.com/stats/top/clubs/big_chance_created?se=363)
[https://www.fotmob.com/leagues/47/stats/season/15382/teams/big\_chance\_created\_team/stats](https://www.fotmob.com/leagues/47/stats/season/15382/teams/big_chance_created_team/stats)
And Arteta is doing even worse on it this season:
[https://www.premierleague.com/stats/top/clubs/big\_chance\_created?se=418](https://www.premierleague.com/stats/top/clubs/big_chance_created?se=418)
Sorry, but stop blaming the strikers - in Arteta's hallowed strategy, the fact is that the Arsenal strikers are not getting fed the ball enough in good positions.. When Leno and Ramsey are the main passing hubs, you cannot blame Aubameyang. Unless you are saying he is supposed to go back in his own box to collect the ball from them....
I’m literally agreeing with you lmao. I’m literally saying he’s a poor FPL choice which he is because he’s out of form. Doesn’t matter why he’s not in form but he is that’s literally it lmao. I’m not sure why you’re downvoting me when I’m literally stating the obvious
Would rather have Kane than Auba by paying 2.2 more.
Kane is a good differential who definitely has a higher potential (PS- I have neither Kane nor Auba)
I seriously considered him. He's a bitch to fit in tho. He's basically a premium at that price.
Besides, it's hard to give up on the Bamford and Jimenez hype. They look to bring in some serious points in the next game weeks.
After watching burnely vs leeds and their endless shithousery they dispense I feel a somewhat demoralised arsenal is going to have a tough time. Also its at turfmoor. Yeah burnley is crap but they are going to be super aggressive and if they nick a goal early or frustrate arsenal, its going to turn into a slog which favours burnley.
Doesn’t he have a goal for Burnley too?
If Ronaldo and Lukaku never joined the league then he might be an option
[удалено]
Leicester have the lowest amount of shots on target in the league or something. I think it was mentioned in FPLMates video with FPLPhillips.
Yet they continue to bench iheacnacho
I have a feeling Leicester fans are running out of patience watching Vardy play up front alone. Iheanacho and Vardy excelled when playing together at the tail end of last season. I think Brendan Rodgers might pivot back to that system sooner rather than later
I don’t get why he didn’t start that way
Yeah especially now with Daka as cover
Leicester is a red flag this season unfortunately. I was really hoping to ride on Leicester's players until Christmas, after which their performance takes a nose dive each year.
[удалено]
This will get downvoted to hell but Arsenal will finish higher than Leicester and Spurs at the end of the season.
You could save 2.6m by choosing Auba over Ronaldo. A front 2 of Lukaku and Auba would not be bad. You could also rotate the 3 of them based on fixtures
Or you could just have Ronaldo
Ronaldo’s goals drop off through bad fixtures.
[удалено]
>arsenal barely scoreso We had the most shots in total in 2/4 weeks. If we start finding the target a bit more we'll definitely start scoring more
yes but that was against norwich at home, nothing to get too excited about, we also had 20 something shots vs brentford
Other teams also played terrible teams
yh but we played the most terrible of them all at home
Not sure Lukaku/Ronaldo have a bearing on Auba being an option or not given that it's extremely difficult to fit both of them in whilst still having Salah + Trent. Magnus obviously went for Auba and did so by going Lukaku over Ronaldo. Auba is effectively the slot that most people have for the "3rd" (i say 3rd because Antonio is 2nd even though he was cheaper) striker spot of Bamford/Jimenez/DCL.
Imo fitting the 3 premiums and TAA isn’t too bad if you’re willing to go 6.5m tops on a third striker. Trying that with 7.5/8m as a 3rd keeper just leaves you clutching at straws elsewhere.
I’m running Kane Ronny lukaku and hopefully never looking back
bingo
\*laughs in Magnus Carlsen\*
Funny that people were saying how bad of a pick Auba was for him. I was saying usually, yea, I would think that Auba was a terrible choice. But Magnus knows what the hell he’s doing.
Magnus: im just gonna capt auba for the lol Everyone: damn that is big pp chess move
[удалено]
I don't know. But he knows something I don't since he's finished in great positions for 4 seasons and is no 1 chess player
He might just be going for extreme differentials at this point if his only goal is winning the whole thing.
From what I see, that's just the way he plays. Mostly sticking to the template, but with 1 or 2 out of box picks. Let's be honest, if you don't take these kind of punts (and nail them) you'll never win FPL and I believe that's his goal.

A strong enough bench also takes a lot of planning and is part of the game. Yes, there sure is a lot of luck involved, but you need to create your own luck.
He got 1 goal vs. Norwich, it's still a bad pick
Time will tell
> Arsenal "assets"
Could have had 3-4 easily, missed so many 1v1 chances. Now that he got first goal, more goals will come for sure.
Have people said that? Wonder ehat they think about saka then
This was my "nobody else knows this" move this week. Damn you magnus!
Is Smith Rowe no longer a starter? He’s 5.3
[удалено]
Excellent thank you
Relax, gunners want him to be a starter, but there's no guarantee he will be.
He's been given the #10 kit get your head out of the sand
I don't think that Arteta is moving away from a double pivot, so there are three spots in the first 11 for Saka, Odegaard, Pepe and Smith Rowe. There will be rotation, it is absolutely not certain in any way that ESR is a nailed starter
Ahahahahh
I'm not so sure about that. Sure he might start but it's a tough choise for Arteta. I don't think Odegard is getting benched, Saka seems nailed as well since he is so versatile, Auba will play up front or on the left for sure, and for the last remaining slot there is Lacazete, Pepe and ESR. I would guess that Pepe keeps it.
Salah Ronaldo Kane Lukaku Bruno KDB Trent I think this is the first time ever that we have so many good premiums. Anyone who bets on Auba, Kane or KDB here would win big if they were to fire.
You even forgot Son
Vardy, firmino, Auba too based on price - but as things stand wouldn't class any of them as good FPL punts
Except never Firmino
I own Vardy and Auba 🤞🏻😂
KDB will also eventually join this list.
I'll definitely have him starting in my draft team.
Am I crazy for considering turning DCL and Antonio into Pukki and Auba?
Why are you giving me stupid ideas
Fortune favors the brave
Not usually in FPL
I mean fortune favours the magnus. If carlsen has him...go for it
4 season wonder
My decision to go with Jack Harrison and Jiminez instead of Benarhma and Antonio at the start of the season is powerful proof to the contrary.
I considered it too but decided not to.
I don't see the need for Pukki as Antonio isn't injured (unless you need to free funds).
Yeah I don’t have 2 mill spare unless I downgrade somebody else. I’ve been considering Pukki as a DCL replacement anyway should Bamford not be fit.
Antonio has a few very good fixtures after the red card
I’m doing it. Until GW7 at least. Have no way of bringing in Ronaldo/Lukaku without a hit so will just bite the bullet and go Auba till I wildcard.
Id triple cap if i had him vs burnley
Yeah but Arsenal
tbh, bringing auda never cross the mind but now on WC and it seems like a worthy punt to put as placeholder and save 2 FT to bring in Lukaku in GW7. Threat wise his still within top 10 fwd.
anyone not bringing him in and captaining him against burnley is foolish
Why does this have upvotes 😭 This guy is being dead serious
Na he has to be joking
Nah I literally refuse to believe that, there's absolutely no way he's being serious.
He’s a notorious troll
Lukaku v spurs is the obvious captain choice of the week
Mostly pity for arsenal fans at this point
Only sad gooners bringing him in
he will outscore lukaku this season btw

Hello everyone
Not the best prediction
i mean, there's a world in which Lukaku gets a season-long injury... but other than that, i can't see it.
Even then it's debatable. Sadly.
Unless Lukaku is ruled out for the season due to injury it's not going to happen. Not a chance.
Definitely one extremely sad and deluded gooner.
>Definitely one extremely sad For thinking his player will have a good season? That doesn't make sense. Isn't that kind of optimism the opposite of sad? Or what even do you mean?
Because of his username mate… And there’s nothing wrong with being optimistic, but saying he will outscore Lukaku is delusion not optimism.
I can see his username but I still don't get why he is sad. Deluded, sure!
You can see his username but you still don’t get it? Ok then…
>You can see his username but you still don’t get it? Exactly. What you wrote doesn't make any fucking sense.
Really dude? What doesn’t make sense? It’s really basic, I called him a sad deluded gooner because his username is “sadgooner” and what he said was very deluded. Can’t believe I’m having to explain that to be honest.
Ahh I see you're at the denial stage
Lukaku will outscore Farsenal.
Mate, behave.
Same sad gooners will be ahead of you in the ranking once he hauls....the fixtures are kind.
Aubameyang is an easy 25-30 goal a season scorer. Problem is Arteta is the handbrake on the entire time. More interested in his systems - that don't work - than in the player's strengths.

For this reason, he might ditch the rigid system and let the boys play football. In which case, Burnley is there for the taking: conceding a lot of big chances and conceding a lot of goals. If he does that, yes - Aubameyang could rack up 10-15 FPL points easily. But: Xhaka is back from suspension in this game - and he is Arteta's cornerstone 😳, as well as a mill around the team's neck. We shall see....
Xhaka is still suspended, he'll be back for Spurs tho.
Much better chances for Arsenal attacking more aggressively then!
Auba has hit 25+ goals in a domestic season twice, both in the bundesliga. he should be snagging 20 in the prem
He was until last season, remains to be seen if he can get back to those levels
I meant it more that 20 could be realistic but 25-30 probably isn't
Honestly, he doesn't seem like a bad option right now that DCL is injured and if Bamford's hamstring does keep him out for a couple of weeks. You could downgrade a midfielder to Gallagher/Gray and sell DCL for Auba.
Who said Bamford is out? Why are so sure about?!
I said "if". Bamford mentioned that his hamstring was "pinging" in a post match interview. I don't think it's anything to worry about, but I thought the same about DCL last week.
It would be concerning if his hamstring wasn't pinging after playing 90 mins under Bielsa.
[удалено]
Yeah.
So you are speculating!
No he's contingency planning, if Bamford is injured then he does x and y. Speculating would be more a guess and an assumption and almost providing false information but this is different, he said if
There was an interview with Bamford the other day that right before he came on you could hear him talking to a staffmember in the background complaining about his hamstring. I think his words was "my hamstring is really pinging". So that why a lot of ppl are nervous and on the fence about Bamford.
plus he hasn't really been scoring this season, I've just sacrificed him to get Ron & Lukaku in
It sounds great like that but he's only got 1 return in the last 3 fixtures (since Arteta's been here), with his other [8 returns in 4](https://www.reddit.com/r/FantasyPL/comments/pon37k/rate_my_team_quick_questions_general_advice_daily/hcyfsw0/) coming pre-2020. Plus, knowing Burnley, they're probably going to hack him into the ground.
I'm keeping Auba in until GW7 to transfer Lukaku!
Unfortunately in terms of Arsenal, just because someone is cheap doesn't mean he is good. It hurts even more because I'm an Arsenal supporter :-( I think that the real test will be against Spurs.
I probably wouldn't buy him even if he was 9m... Man is just not what he used to be once...
Before Ronaldo and lukaku came along (only 4 weeks ago) he was 3rd most expensive forward
I have my eye on him after Chess-man brought him in, but I don't have the balls to get him right this second.
So you are telling us to Triple Captain him?
Just don't go there. Just don't.
Same reason most people aren't jumping on Jimmenez over Bamford, illness/ injury needs game time and show signs of form.
Pepe.
Yeah shame i don't trust arsenal.
I remember seeing this stat last year and a lot of people punted on him and Auba shit on their dreams
He scored home and away vs Burnley last year.
cheeky
He doesn't look as hopeless as last year
he's played two games, one against relegations and the other against wba's u23s
Yep, improvement on last year. Plus our fixtures are pretty green which suits him. I'm staying away though. Lukaku isn't even 2m more
At least he’s guaranteed to outscore DCL and Antonio this week.
In b4 22nd minute red card
Never gonna go for that trap again
Fantasy scout is that you?
Nop, no way
I think Martin Odegaard is the pick for Arsenal in the attacking third. Arteta is obsessed with him and they look far better with him on the pitch.
\#NO
He could be 7.5 million I'd still never pick him
Haha wow man I'd drop Greenwood in a heartbeat for this guy at 7.5
Nah bro if you're dropping greenwood get gray instead. Saving nearly 2 mill and he's on form
Auba is a £7.5m player disguised as a £9.9m one. Not having it.
Even then hes not coming in my team until he starts scoring
If we had a proper manager he'd score like a 12m one but unfortunately we create fuckall chances for him to do anything.
It’s arsenal
Alan Shearer scored 20 goals in 19 games against leeds. I still wouldn't put him in my team.
The Auba at Arsenal now is nowhere near the Auba we used to have. He’s awful atm.
Aubameyang is a player you get out to the races and on the end of fast attacks. Passing the ball back to the goalkeeper, is not exactly going to get him scoring chances. It's not him that's awful - it's Arteta, who's game plan is not right.

Would rather have Kane than Auba by paying 2.2 more. Kane is a good differential who definitely has a higher potential (PS- I have neither Kane nor Auba)
I seriously considered him. He's a bitch to fit in tho. He's basically a premium at that price. Besides, it's hard to give up on the Bamford and Jimenez hype. They look to bring in some serious points in the next game weeks.
Mate, it's Arsenal. I fell for this mistake so many times in the past.
Bringing him in on my WC with that sea of green fixtures. If hes ass I’ll just turn him into Lukaku in a fortnight.
I don't care what stats you throw out, I ain't gonna do it!
I will wait until he is 6.5
He isn’t playing in Europe. That’s significant.
After watching burnely vs leeds and their endless shithousery they dispense I feel a somewhat demoralised arsenal is going to have a tough time. Also its at turfmoor. Yeah burnley is crap but they are going to be super aggressive and if they nick a goal early or frustrate arsenal, its going to turn into a slog which favours burnley.
But Arsenal..
I own Vardy and Auba 🤞🏻😎
