What are the odds Iversen on my bench outscores pope in my starting 11

F1ngers

DCL pen, no assist

F1ngers

Soyuncu(Faes)

F1ngers

Vardy(Maddison)

Mr Crispy

Vardy (Maddison), like Leicester of old

Ace2007

Feel like Leicester have too much going forward to go down.

Everton are in dire straits- they need a win and their fixtures aren’t great.

F1ngers

Pickford saves pen from Maddison

Fitz*

That sound is the collective sigh of relief from Maddison sellers as he missed that penalty.

Pickford save

Mr Crispy

Pickford saves a woeful Maddison pen!

Cartman78

Maddison missed peno

AlmightyCushion

Maddison really messing with his owners. Gets an assist, then gets a penalty and misses it.

F1ngers

Iwobi

Very odd that Vardy is off pens, assumed last week was because he was fouled and injured, so Nacho took it.

Mr Crispy

Maddison yellow.

To be fair, Vardy's penalty taking record isn't the best (82.35%). Tielemans is 82.76%. Maddison now 71.43% (only from 7 pens though after today)

It'll surely just revert back to Vardy/Tielemans next time

Klopp has said that Jota didn't train before or after the Spurs game.

I would assume that Diaz can't start a game so soon again and so that Nunez surely starts this one, on the left. Gakpo probably starts again I would guess in order to let Jota recover some more and be sound for Brentford in 35.

Ace2007

Martinelli benched????? He's the most in form of all the Arsenal players :(

Raging, I held onto him instead of taking a -4 to sell him for a dgwker like Gakpo. It's like Saka's 1 pointer in GW30 all over again.

gammygils

Martinelli also on my bench

Ace2007

Sigh odergaard goal

I kept Martinelli and sold odergaard

I've no one playing here.

I dont think too many teams actually do unless on BB.

I’d say quite a few would - sure chelsea can’t score so good chance some have white

Looking at my MLs, the odd Arsenal player but most are on benches. Gabriel in 2 teams and that's about it. There was plenty of transfer out to united and Liverpool assets.

A few rivals have Martinelli, Saka, Odegaard, White and Ramsdale. I only have schadenfreude interest in this game.

I could do with a Chelsea goal.

Great save from Ramsdale to deny Chilwell.

Fitz*

Loads have Shaw (or other Man Utd) + Trent (or other Liverpool) + one more defender.

In the majority, you basically had to pick one single GW defender to play this week, and had to chose between Newcastle v Southampton and Arsenal v Chelsea.

Unless you were WC 33 ish.

Both defences have been conceding a good bit lately, but most would go with Newcastle I would have thought.

Ace2007

Odergaard again sigh

Yes, Trippier was the pick for many due to his high EO and many didn't want to get left behind if he hauled. Midfields seemed to be loaded with 5 X DGWer's.
