3 games in 7 days and there are only 2 GKs, 4 defenders, 4 midfielders, and 3 forwards in the squad. After that theres only a bunch of youth and Bendtner that made like 5 starts between them last season.

What a trainwreck...

Fuck everything.


The most important player in the team

It's even worse when you consider that 3 of the 13 fit players are the most injury prone players: Gibbs, Rosicky, and Wilshere...

I suspect we'll see Aaron Ramsey play all 10 outfield positions by October 1.

what's wrong with him?
It was between him and Arteta actually. But Arteta is injured.
I could prolly cut someone and get another 1.5 points to get Yaya Toure actually.

Fuuuuuuuuck

So saturdays lineup will be:
---------Szczesny
Jenks-Mert-Kos-Gibbs
--------Jack---Ox
----------Rosicky
--???---Giroud---Poldi

Apparently Walcott has a small injury as well so if he doesn't start then we'll have Gnabry/Ryo on the right wing? Or Ox on the wing and Eisfeld/DENCH in midfield? I can't think of any other players that could come into the team.

Also my FPL team:

I'm thinking about Paulinho, Navas, van Wolfswinkel and.... someone I forgot the name of, another new signing basically. But it's a bit tricky with new players some times. xD

could do with a separate thread for people showing everyone their basically identical dream teams with small tweaks.

And yeah, Arsenal are just so facepalmingly stationary when everyone else is moving, if Wenger manages to nick a 4th place AGAIN I will be convinced he is the second coming of jesus.

I wouldn't get any of Norwich's forwards until we get rid of Hughton. Our defenders are a good choice though. Fuck i hate Hughton....

News

The morning papers have linked with Manchester United with a move for Willian, the Anzhi Makhachkala playmaker has told the Brazilian media that would be interested in joining Liverpool

Alexander Buttner's agent Aleksandar Bursac has told Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf that the Manchester United full-back is wanted by Benfica and Besiktas on a Loan deal

Swansea forward Michu has reportedly emerged as a ‘Plan B’ for Arsenal following the Gunners’ failed attempts to sign Liverpool striker Luis Suarez

We are hearing reports that Valencia left-back Aly Cissokho has finalised a loan move to Liverpool

Esteban Granero has joined Real Sociedad on loan from QPR

Globo Esporte are reporting that Wolfsburg manager Dieter Hecking has told the newspaper SID that the negotiations to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Luiz Gustavo are ongoing.

Quote from Anzhi on Eto'o "I can assure all that Eto'o will definitely stay at Anzhi. It would be very difficult to arrange his transfer because Samuel is not willing to move to another club for less wages."

Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert has confirmed Darren Bent is having a medical at Fulham with a view to a season-long loan

This. Gustavo's German is quite good, he knows the Bundesliga in and out, and Wolfsburg's Brazilians Diego and Naldo probably did some convincing, too. The wages Arsenal could offer were probably similar, given that the tax rate in Germany is higher.

I imagine Wenger will use that Wilshere-Ramsey pivot (if Ramsey is fit) that looked terrible against counter-attacks versus Napoli in the Emirates Cup. Otherwise I'd guess Wilshere-Ox, MAYBE Frimpong, but I highly doubt he's in the first team plans considering he didn't travel on the Asia Tour and didn't appear in the Emirates Cup.

Then he'll have Podolski on the left wing, with Walcott on the right, or Serge Gnabry/Ryo if Walcott isn't fit.

Edit: Ramsey is fit! That makes me feel a lot better about this weekend.
