CAN ARSENAL BEAT MANCHESTER UNITED?


We are faced with the most exciting weekend of football as top teams go head to head in the top leagues in Europe. In england, ARSENAL host league leaders MANCHESTER UNITED in a top of the table clash.

FORM:
Arsenal are a very unpredictable team as they lost at home to olympiacos after beating the previously unbeaten leicester city in the premier league while Manchester united are smarting from their 3-0 drubbing of sunderland last time out.


PLAYERS TO WATCH:
As we all know, every time Man utd plays poorly or are down, DAVID DE GEA is their go to man but this season, with the added talents of JUAN MATA and probable steel of BASTIAN SCHWEINSTIGER who i expect to marshall the midfield, i expect manu to be ready for the clash.

Arsenal on their own will be led by ALEXIS SANCHEZ who has picked form at just the right time and THEO WALCOTT who despite doubts over his suitability to the no 9 spot has done pretty well (13 in 16) when called upon. SANTI CAZORLA should return from suspension to feature and orchestrate the midfield as ozil can go missing in big games.

PROBABLE LINE UP:
ARSENAL: Cech; Bellerin, Koscieny, Gabriel, Nacho; Coquelin, Cazorla; Ramsey, Ozil, Sanchez; Walcott
MANCHESTER UNITED: De Gea; Darmian, Smalling, Blind, Rojo; Schweinsteiger, Schneirdelin; Mata, Rooney, Depay; Martial

PREDICTION:
Arsenal are a very unpredictable team but  they seem to have learnt how to turn up when needed but with this man utd form, it will be a hard one. I see a

2-2 draw

FPL TEAM SELECTION BREAKDOWN BASED ON PRICES AND POPULARITY

Fantasy Premier League is back, yeahhh!!! Oh, wait, I’m more than 8 days late but I’m sure you haven’t fixed your teams. Those many drafts keep you frustrated as they are either lacking the coverage you need or the big players you want. I’m not here to ease your stress, at least not yet. I just want to take a first look at the players on offer and look at the popular options in each price bracket. GOALKEEPERS There are 4 prices of goal keepers in the game. This makes the position the easiest to pick in this article. The 4 prices are divided into Premiums (5.0, 5.5) and Budget (4.0, 4.5). There are strategies that support use of each category of goalies but like I said, I’ll be picking the most popular (highest by team selected by) which gives us David De Gea (5.5)-26.1% and Ben Foster(4.5)-20.6%. Both start the season with nice fixtures and although it may not be the best double pick considering cost, they are the two most selected goalies.

BOTS VS EXPERTS: PREDICTING THE BEST TEAM FOR GW34

Good evening and welcome to the continuation of our series. Choosing a team for a game week can be hard. Sentiments and personal preferences can cloud ones judgement. There have been many FPL sites that try to predict the team for the week but there is usually a large discrepancy. My plan in doing this article is to compare human analysis (totw from experts on different sites) to AI analysis (totw from bots on different sites). Now these sites are expected to churn out different teams every week irrespective of transfer limitations. The difference is that the experts bring their teams based on strict FPL formation and price while the bots simply bring out the best set of players from their algorithm projections. For this study, I'll be using 8* sites. 4 have bots (fantasy football fix, first, overlord and assist) while 4 are human experts (fantasy football scout, fpl academy, thefpl blog and the official fantasy app scout). The team of the week is entered into my F
