Super sexy line up.

Might actually be my favourite on paper.

Need a win tonight.

I hope Merino will come that good that he’ll play himself in that midfield trio over the course of the season. Also as I’d like to see Rice deeper. But Partey absolutetly deserves to play atm based on form.
And a fully fit Ben White would always play in my team I guess. But we’re blessed to have a guy like Timber there now that he’s out for a while.
2-3 quality additions in the next 2 windows and this squad will be the best we’ve had for a long, long time.

My fantasy favorite is with Gyokeres in our attack but I hate him today.

C.B.

Strong team, though tough oppo.

For the first time this season, we are starting our preferred 11.

Naked Cygan

I rather have Ben White at RB.

Bob

Very happy with this line-up.
I think it is our strongest 11 based on this season’s performances so far.
COYG!

The G

Happy to see Tierney back. He definitely has the ability to give us something different.

C.B.

Our bench is trong, let’s hope we don’t need them or they make an impact if we do.

Paulo

Couldn’t help but notice the omission of Merino from the list of subs. Had a mini panic attack, expecting some kind of freak training injury, but looks like he is a named sub on other sites

Paulo

There he is 🙂

Arsepedant

Really strong line-up and bench! This gives me a lot of confidence that we can put an end to Sporting’s unbeaten start to the season. Come oin Arsenal!

Kiwomya

Some serious depth at left back

Thierry Bergkamp (non negotiable)

Numbers wise yes. Quality is another thing

Thierry Bergkamp (non negotiable)

Close to full strength, even Tierney!
Fucking hell 🔫

I hope that finally puts to bed all that ‘we don’t need Ødegaard’ nonsense. What a player.
