23 from 6.

If Ozil isn't in the squad it'd be incredible, I've Nyom sitting on my bench with 12!

In other news, how ****ing good are Watford lads? In dream land this season

km79 · 13-12-2015 12:15PM

a fair few have cabaye lying in wait if ozil does not play.....I'll take a cameo just to stop that. a one pointer to go with KDB 1 and mata 2
great stuff

Agreed. Just did a check on my ML there. The amount of people who have Nyom/Ward and Cabaye to come in for Kolarov and Ozil has put me right off my Corn Flakes

I have Dawson and Francis.

The rumour is that he isn't even in the squad. I've seen a few people tweet that he didn't train yesterday.

Adding further to it, he was apparently snapped in Istanbul on holidays.

That said there has been nothing solid on the rumour so we will just have to wait till 12.30.

about 6% overall have those 2. Not sure how to check how many have Cabaye as first sub out of that 6%, but either way it can't amount to that many.

Shane732 · 13-12-2015 12:38PM

Need about 10 goals from Kane to make this GW decent

spock. · 13-12-2015 12:40PM

I'm starting to regret putting all my eggs in the Spurs basket.
Kane(c) Eriksen and Dier.
4-0 Kane hat trick, Dier goal and clean sheet and a few Eriksen assists please.

DakarVert · 13-12-2015 12:48PM

No Ozil (C) means I'll have 10 players, On the plus side Lukaku (V) will net me another 9.

Would mean 42 (-4) with Alderweirald, Bellerin, Mahrez and Vardy to play.

Would be okay I think?

Ace2007 · 13-12-2015 12:48PM

Be nothing wrong with ozil not playing - stainilas prepared to make the step up again, he did it for courtinho and he can do it for ozil

I think Spurs will have a comfortable win today to kick off their title challenge.:)

Seriously.

Seen this tweet elsewhere. Hard to know.

UPDATE: Ozil joined the travelling team for today's game. #Arsenal

You're having great luck with subs, Nyom and Souaré. Dream bench.

I was never gonna put Mane behind Souare but if I'd a cheapie 5th mid i probably would have put Souare first. On the other hand Mane coulda got a haul. Not one to blame luck but ive had a shocking run of it on wee things like this this year.

I don't see it as "luck" tbh. There's been few weeks I have missed out on points from either.

I have both though to cater for occurrences like this weekend.

Ah yeah. Luck wasn't a great term to use in regards your bench this week. And i generally agree with you view on luck. And i know it evens out. Except it hasn't for me this year. 50/50 calls have tended to go excruciatingly the wrong way since the start of the season (having Gomez second sub day 1 when Bellerin rested)

machiavellianme · 13-12-2015 01:22PM

Realised I have Dann making his way in for me if Ozil doesn't play. I'll take it.

Ziegler1988 · 13-12-2015 01:24PM

Ugh, Ozil no show would be bad for me both FPL and as an Arsenal supporter. Only Surman's 2 points to come off when that KDB cameo had gloriously blocked a lot of high points for rivals

You still have the second half of the season yet. We're only a third of the way there yet.

Lemlin · 13-12-2015 01:30PM

Just tweeted by Arsenal FC Live:

Wayne Veysey from Football Insider claims Ozil will be rested today.

Ziegler1988 · 13-12-2015 01:30PM

Ozil starts

Cech; Bellerin, Merte, Koscielny, Nacho; Ozil, Campbell, Flamini, Ramsey, Walcott; Giroud
Aston Villa XI vs. Arsenal: Guzan; Hutton, Okore, Lescott, Bacuna; Gana, Veretout, Sanchez; Sinclair, Gestede, Ayew. #AVFC

Well thats what I keep telling myself. I thought when DeBruyne was benched i had a great chance to make ground with Sterling and they ended up scoring the same. Probably why I'm low on the optimism front today.

He has an effective ownership of 102% in the top 10k so counterintuitively you slightly prefer if he blanks

Top 10k is of such little relevance to some of us though. I'll take any points I can get!!

Yeah for sure, I would only actively not want one of my players to do well if we're talking over 120% EO. And never for an Arsenal player regardless
