    I have you in my sights, badly need Ozil to pull something out of the bag tomorrow night. I am wary of Giroud being rested though and you have Defoe who will definitely play.
    I have never been so sick of a gameweek as this one. From a start around 850 I have no real chance of a top 1k finish now. With Caz Bell and Sanchez as my Arsenal players I fear it will just get worse. A safe looking second in the boards pay league looks 50 50 now.

    Have a feeling Giroud will be rested as well :( let's hope I'm wrong.

    Noooo! Why would he be? Surely playing if only fit striker?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    If wellbeck was fit I think giroud would get a rest but unfortunately he's not.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,747 ✭✭✭Ziegler1988


    If I was predicting the lineup, it would be

    Ospina
    Bellerin Kos/Gabriel Mert Monreal
    Coq
    Ramsey Ozil
    Walcott/Wilshere Sanchez
    Giroud

    I don't think Wenger would make more than two changes with 3rd place not wrapped up yet. GW38 would be a better time to give Theo a start up top and get him to sign a new contract

    Bit of a push calling him a striker of late :(
    I'll take 2 points and run while activating BlockTekke

    Shít, sorry Chesty.
    I'll remember to put you on my list of people who I wish absolutely no luck to once I get home:p

    Haven't had much luck this year when it comes to the differentials!

    I believe in you make your own luck and in Ozil / Defoe I have every faith in them tonorrow night!

    Confirmed - Laurent Koscielny trained fully today and the French defender is 100% available for tomorrows' game with Sunderland #AFC

    Hopefully he isn't rested now! I'm not taking anything for granted until I see the starting line up.

    If fit he will play. He is there best defender I'd expect a full back if any defender is to be rotated hopefully Bellerin.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,260 ✭✭✭shano_88


    Its most likely to be Monreal to be rotated out of the backline I would say.

    I more than hope you're right on this. Bellerin rested would be a serious blow to my top 10k finish aim.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,323 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    Another question is whether Wenger thinks Szczesny needs one game or two to get ready for the cup final. My rival has Ospina so I'm hoping for the latter :pac:

    Debuchy isnt fit and Chambers hasnt been involved at all lately. Not even making the bench so there isnt much competition for his spot at the moment.

    I hope Im right too!

    A draw would suit both teams as it would guarantee Arsenal 3rd and Sunderland stay up so if 0-0, 1-1 with 20 minutes both teams could shut up shop. There are 27 points between the top 3 in our cash league, me being in 3rd, it's down to Ramsey(me) vs Giroud vs Cazorla as we all have similar teams after that.

    I think Arsenal would like to go for second. They haven't finished second in donkey's years.

    First GW bringing him in. It's inevitable he'll screw me over!

    My aim over the last few months was to beat my personal best OR of this year, 36k (GW8). I hit a huge low in GW29, plummeting to 174k :o. I'm now back up at 39k which makes it extremely interesting and possible :)

    Both Chambers and Gibbs available for selection. There could well be rotation in full back positions. Welbeck still injured so Giroud should be ok to start.

    Anyone else expecting Sunderland to park the bus tonight? A point would guarantee them survival..

    Wouldn't be surprised. Expecting Panti to be picking up a couple of save points!

    Course they will but you'd have to hope that Arsenal will have the players to break them down. They're prone to errors som players like Sanchez, Ozil, Ramsey and Giroud have to be able to break through eventually.

    Everyone starts!

    Very attacking Arsenal line up.

    I thought the match started at 8! :pac:
    Wasn't expecting lineups for another while.

    Everyone that matters, I'm sure there's a bitter Monreal owner out there


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,748 ✭✭✭Swiper the fox


    Unbelievable Jeff. EVERYBODY STARTS!!! (nobody has Monreal or Coquelin right??)
    This could be a big night of FPL
    Delighted as I really expected Bellerin and Certainly Cazorla to be rested.
