Gameweek 25 • Deadline: Fri 6 Feb, 18:30

Post by maxi123 »

Hello!

Looking for a bit forward and put Anderson :arrow: Rice or Szoboszlai :arrow: Rice

Arsenal with home game which seems 80% guaranteed win v Black Cats, so keep Saka despite the injury, staying stable in the def line with Gabriel & try to bring in D.Rice or why not Gyökeres, Jesus & Havertz?

How do you ponder? :)

Saka to Rice wanted to go for a higher ceiling player like Trossard but didnt want to risk rotation

Maxi, the injury to saka potentially rules him out for 3 or more premier league games including the double.
Assuming you want three arsenal for the double, Saka to Rice is not silly, Gyökeres also a reasonable transfer in for the double if you have a free transfers. Arsenal also blank in 31 , so they would need benching, or use further transfers to replace them. We have interesting times ahead, and a few banked transfers would be good.

Thanks fred for your response and adivce huh!
Idk whether Saka will play all game or part of game.
Trossard with 5g and 4 ass looks decent.

Ok thx for the response Oxford. So with Saka out of the game 100%. and DGW26 with Arsenal two games as guests.
Wolves also in DGW26. :D
The only trouble if I save the transfer would be price drop of Saka (10.0). One free transfer.
If Gyökeres in I wonder probably Kr J out because Joao and Erling staying stable and strong and with easier fix esp Chelsea.

Saka has to be dropped. Should have done it sooner.

Mbeumo is in.

Oxford, I just read Charlie Peat article from 2 Feb in arsenal.com.
BUKAYO SAKA OUT FOR 1 MONTH WITH INJURY ⛔️ ✍ According to Sami Mokbel, Bukayo Saka will be out for 3~4 weeks after being injured in the Leeds United match.

Thank you.

Had planned a punchy Haaland -> Pedro...but then realised I already have 3x CHE and only 1 FT, so that's not happening.

The other option is Thiago -> DCL (25) -> Mane (26 DGW) :?:

Bruno C (Gabriel VC)

Done Saka :arrow: Bruno F.

May finally remove the captaincy from Haaland (thus guaranteeing a haul for him). Considering Bruno F or Rice.

biggest quandary is too to captain this week, I know if I drop the arm band from Haarland he'll get a hat trick.

no he isn't i may actually consider only think stopped me is the rotation heard that between DGW Arsenal has a FA cup game around that time not sure if truef hence why i think Trossard might be safer cause Martinelli seems to be playing on the right side

Home to Wigan in the FAC Cup, but at Spurs after the midweek Wolves game - when Saka is due back.

Without having any actual clue

I would expect the 11 in the dgw league games to be virtually the same

With an almost or totally different xi for the cup game in between



I’m on the verge of pulling a madness and doing the Gabriel (TC) Timber Raya for the dgw

10 Arsenal defenders matches in one gameweek

Well, does someone know about Cherki's condition? If he won't play let me inform please. I think Cherki can play with limited minutes too. Have here Kroupi ready to go in v Aston Villa at home, so probably one of them should deliver.

Kind regards

Maxi

P.S. NBR, If Timber is not ready look for other sub from the Gunners: Gabriel, Calafiori (15 min last game), Saliba, Hincapie.

He came on in the 72nd minute in last Wednesday EFL cup semi-final and lasted until the final whistle.
