Wijnaldum in an advanced midfield role it seems

Livescore usually reliable. Walcott benched and Bellerin not in the squad has topped off a terrible start to the season

What do you mean reliable? It's not as if it's a transfer rumour. Get your info direct from the source, the official club twitter account.

Ziegler1988 · 09-08-2015 12:39PM

Ha, I have Bellerin and Theo and Coates will come in for -1 since former isn't in squad. Just have to laugh, especially since I'm an Arsenal supporter

Livescore isn't reliable. That is just their predicted teams until a while after the team is announced. Use Twitter for the up to date stats.

Nib · 09-08-2015 12:39PM

Hope West Ham win 17-0.

stephenl15 · 09-08-2015 12:40PM

Mané Cedric and Sakho all start. 3/4, not so bad

If Walcott doesn't play I unfortunately have Francis 1st sub ahead of Richards

Spare a thought for Walcott captainers btw

I completely agree. All own goals too.

Chesty08 · 09-08-2015 12:42PM

Oxford and Targett start!!!

Two 4million defenders..

Alexis on the bench, Aguero likely to start. No keeper for 3 games.

Wildcard maybe activated

stephenl15 · 09-08-2015 12:42PM

Obertan an option at 4.5?? :O Although one would assume Aarons and/or Perez will take his place

Obviously, but they hadn't put the team up before I checked livescore

Never even noticed that Bellerin wasn't in the squad!!!!

Ah **** off FPL

CSF · 09-08-2015 12:43PM

I bottled Walcott when I saw the Giroud 5 in last 5 vs West Ham stat posted. Still thought he would start though. Bellerin completely out of the blue. Heavily regretting having Jenkinson in anticipation of GW2 and 3 now. Thought Taylor would start though.

Courtois only gone for 1 game.

Yeah that's the thing with Livescore, they have it up all morning. Teams always out pretty much exactly one hour before kickoff

stephenl15 · 09-08-2015 12:45PM

Walcott not starting doesn't actually bother me too much. He's not my captain, everybody is in the same boat, and is very dangerous off the bench.

km79 · 09-08-2015 12:45PM

just remembered I'll have sahko coming in if Theo doesn't come on......a sahko goal and a Theo 5 minute cameo would not be good

Meant they're predicted lineups are usually good, have no broadband at the moment so trying to keep up with twitter is a disaster

Livescore only show predicted teams, never use them as actual team line ups

Ah yeah, sure that lineup would have been my expected lineup too. Would have probably gone about 65% Walcott/35% Giroud.

With Sanchez coming back now too the arse is about to fall out of Walcott's ownership. That was a big factor in my terrifiedly deciding to go without. Could drop .2 before Friday. If Firmino does well v Bournemouth that would accelerate it too IMO.

Who_8_Paul? · 09-08-2015 12:49PM

Taylor dropping to 3.9 is going to be a royal pain in the ass

wonski · 09-08-2015 12:50PM

Ozil and Mert to play.

Lucky escape as I had Walcott for long time before changing him to Ozil.

He still has a chance to score, though.

gaving · 09-08-2015 12:51PM

Bellerin has a thigh strain supposedly,last minute ditching of ozil for Walcott is really annoying me should have gone with my initial instinct on that one

Come on sakho get a hat trick

Unlikely. Only people with money in the bank will be transferring him out so it'll be a slow decline rather than a rapid descent.

spock. · 09-08-2015 12:51PM

Just catching lineups now.

Mane:

Cedric:

Kos:

Walcott: :mad:

3/4 will do.
Delighted with my late decision to pay the extra 0.5 for Kos over Bellerin.

Nib · 09-08-2015 12:51PM

Seriously considering activating my wildcard. Aguero GW 3 plan is now out the window.

Walcott, Bellerin, Mings and Saylor all in my squad along with Pantillimon who needs to go.

Sunderland may well bounce back next week. Let's not go over the top here. Norwich at home is a nice fixture and I'm happy enough now that Van Aanholt is less likely to drop in price now that there are other defenders to worry about transferring out for people.

Definitely gonna drop unless he springs from the bench and grabs a goal or two. Have Sakho to come on for Bellerin, hopefully he gets a hat trick
