Very true, be sort of FPL suicide possibly. Really tempted to go with two of then given the games they have.

Appeals even further when I see Silva v Chelsea next and with Hull after that I can swap Di Maria out for Silva if needed.

I'd be wary of Cazorla. Even though he's in good form, he has only produced attacking returns in 7 of the 21 league games he's featured in this season.

Penalties,free kicks and an advanced role at 8.2 is very tempting, very tempting.

7 PPG in last 10

There's a slight rotation risk with Cazorla in February if we have FA Cup and Champions League. Ozil, Ramsey, and Rosicky will definitely get minutes and Cazorla was out on his feet at the end of the match. I think he'll get the rest next week against Brighton though.

You can add wellbeck and walcott into the mix there as well. Close to 10 viable attacking options for 4 spots.

Cazorla is really making them tick these days though. Him and Sanchez won't be benched in the league any time soon imo. Any Arsenal fans have a view?

Considering dropping Silva in the Wildcard to Santi, leaving me with Bellerin, Santi and Sanchez. Too much Arsenal?

Considering the same. For next 3 games anyway.

Not for their next game anyway - Villa are awful at the minute.

All the more reason to have more Arsenal surely?

I think there's heavy hitting midfield spot up for grabs in most teams. Most teams will have Hazard and Sanchez, along with one of Siggy/Downing/Puncheon. A lot of teams currently have Silva in that 4th spot, but I feel a lot (myself included) will be looking at switching that up with the WC. Now that City have 3 strikers back in action, he (presumably) won't be as far forward. He also have Chelsea this week.

The problem is there's not too many outstanding candidates for that spot. Cazorla is doing well at the min, but he may not be a good long term shout. Sterling and ADM not really firing on all cylinders. LVG seems intent on playing ADM in that second strikers role, which doesn't seem to suit him. Eriksen is another option, but they don't have great fixtures over the next few weeks.

Edit: a midfield of Haz - Sanchez - Cazorla - Eriksen seems quite feasible. Sterling only 0.2 more that Eriksen and Caz, so could easily change to him if required down the line.

Agreed - you asked if it was 'Too much arsenal' and I mean't 'no, it's not too much for the next GW'!

Sorry, probably could have been clearer!

I'm just waiting for Wenger to fcuk it all up and reintroduce Ozil at Cazorla's expense.................

Ozil will probably be shunted out to the wing again

At the moment I'm thinking of Sanchez, Haz, Caz and ADM, which looks pretty tempting for this gw fixtures.

Why ADM though? Surely form has to go over fixtures. He's being outscored by the likes of Puncheon and Eriksen.

AdM is looking more and more likely tho. Just finding his rythym now after return from injury I think, quite unlucky not to have attacking returns against QPR. Good bet going forward I think

Absolutely. ADM is getting seriously bigged up on this forum lately and has done nothing to justify this yet. Maybe he'll come good but how many 2 or three pointers will you need to go through before he hits the big one?

Lvg changed his role in the second half against QPR and (as highlighted on motd) he was much more effective. Hoping he will learn from that.

Still a work in progress though.

Ziegler1988

I wasn't even that impressed with ADM when he was in my team from GW6-13. 9.5m is too steep for my taste.

Dr. Bre

mite just stick with silva as my only city player cos they were so poor. will bring bony in when he's back

AdpRo

What about a forward line of Kun / Costa / Falcao with Haz / Sanchez & 2 mid price midfielders like Puncheon, Downing, Siggy, Chadli??

Falcao could have had a hat trick last weekend and if RVP is out for a couple of weeks he will grt a run against poor teams, he is playing for a contract next year so may finally come good. I wont be doing this but I am half tempted!!

I could do that (if I still had WC!)

Pantillimon, Hamer
Terry, Jones, PVA, Wisdom, Hutton
Sanchez, Hazard, Downing, Puncheon, Albrighton
Falcao, Costa, Aguero

Didn't you just say that Di Maria isn't doing much? Why in Gods name would you want Falcao who is doing less and 1million more expensive!!!

Strange that the two Aussies have completely different descriptions of why they're unavailable. Both playing at the same tournament....

I'll sound like a broken record now but unless ADM is in CM he will not bring big returns.

He wasn't world class when he was on the wing for Madrid.

Unless he goes to CM I won't be bringing him in.
