Arteta about rotation

Mikel Arteta made a wholesale change to the side that defeated Newcastle, even though it was included William Saliba (£ 6.0 million) and Martin Ødegaard (£ 7.9 million) representing returns from recent injuries from the main customers. Prominent absent is Declan rice(6.5m), Jurria wood (£ 5.8 million), Bukayo from (£ 9.8 million), Kingchair (£ 7.5 million) and Riccardo Calafuri (£ 5.7 million), although only Italian defender failed to continue.

It appears that, after building a much bigger squad with a deep strength, Mikel Arteta prefers to play the players than last season. Now Arsenal coach has no doubt about resting people like Saka, Rice and Timber, which is the mainstay of the first team last season.

“Today we decided to change six players, I thought that, because I wanted everyone to be really involved and felt a part of it, and it was great and we also had a feeling that we physically fell because we played a very intense match in Newcastle a few days ago. What entered, once again, they raised the level and they helped us win the game, and it was great.”

It is clear that Arteta did not want to see his players down with a kind of long -term injury that fatten their title tilted last season. He wants everyone to be suitable for the long term, which is a good news for Arsenal fans-but not too much for FPL managers, who might sweat a little more line-up announcement in the future.

At least the names above are rested well for Gameweek 7.

Extraordinary Martin Odegaard

One of the players who will regularly appear on XI is Ødegaard. After being kept away for most seasons with recurrent shoulder injuries, this is a time that frustrates the Arsenal captain but Cameo against Newcastle in Gameweek 6 and 90 minutes on Wednesday against Olympiacos extraordinary. He played a number of sharp operands that cut the heart of the Greek champion and on other days may have three assists, not one. He also has a golden opportunity for scoring goals, but was first rejected with extraordinary rescue and then the last intervention of the defender who covered.

“He has all the licenses in the world to advance, Martin, and play with that freedom and play with the level of threat especially, not only with bait, but the way he takes the ball, carrying the ball, running, and arriving in a truly dangerous area.

“I think he placed three people today to score goals, he should have scored a goal too, very good to make him come back, he played a few very good minutes in Newcastle to help us win the game, and I think today he is phenomenal.

At the time of death, the assist for the purpose of Saka’s replacement is the most inappropriate.

Arteta supports gyokeres

Another positive for Arsenal is the second consecutive Champions League goal Gabriel Theminies (£ 6.9 million), which pounced on close range afterwards Viktor (£ 9.0 million) has reached the pole when the signing of the summer may have been held. Indeed, the Brazilian player was completely open in front of the goal when Ødegaard placed Root Through another occasion but once again Sweden only has eyes for the purpose.

Gyökeres gave the Greek defenders of the hot night with his physical and repeatedly ran behind the last man. He might not score goals but a goal must come against an easier opponent for the next few weeks – especially because he was not too interested in collecting assists.

What I feel is that he does things that are better and better every match, and today he was rejected several times in one of the blocks, and then he hit the pole, but I thought his overall appearance was extraordinary. Once again, his job was really good, and yes, we want him to score a goal, but if he doesn’t do that, at least to do everything as he did for the team, because he helped the team.

Saka and Eze both looked bright when they came for the last 17 minutes, and definitely started this weekend.

Raya Stellar, Gabriel Concern

Arsenal continued to look solid in defense too, with Gabriel (£ 6.2 million) and Saliba reunited in the middle, and David Raya (£ 5.6 million) ensures they keep a clean sheet with a rescue clutch, one of which is a world -class effort to scratch Daniel Podence’s shot from the upper corner. Spanish racer remains a decent choice as a set-and-loget goalkeeper.

The only negative that night was a substitution forced from Gameweek 6 winners of the Gabriel match, which was replaced by Mosquera Cristhian (£ 5.4 million) in 75 minutes. Arteta shrinks it after that but will he risk on Saturday after losing so much last season?

“I thought he would be fine. He felt something, I thought it was a kick, I was not sure, in the first half, and he was rather uncomfortable, and headed for the second half he was there. He could continue, but we decided not to take risks because he played a lot of games, he came from a long-term injury too, and we need to include it.

Haaland did it again

Pep Guardiola is almost not so liberal with the choice of his troops for Manchester City’s trip to Monaco. Spaniards only changed three players, bringing in John Stones (£ 5.5 million), Stem (£ 6.4 million) and Bernardo Silva (£ 6.4 million) on the spot Nico Gonzalez (£ 5.9 million), Savine (£ 6.9 million) and Matheus Nunes (£ 5.3 million).

Erling Haaland (£ 14.4 million) Performing things -haland Erling, scored two extraordinary goals to leave fantasy managers who still did not have it questioning their sanity. That’s three goals in two Champions League matches to be done with eight goals in six Premier League matches, and six goals in two international matches for Norway. Or 17 goals in 10 matches in all competitions.

Actually Haaland might have a hat-trick and, regardless of his goal, complained that City did not deserve to win.

“We did something that was unnecessary in the second half. We did not play well enough, we did not deserve to win. We need more energy. We need to get more to them in the first round, we dominate more. They are more. They are more. They are more. [scored the only goal] In the second half and I think it’s not good enough. “

Reijnders and Foden threatened

In the truth of the city should not be seen in this match. Both of them Phil foot (£ 8.1 million) and Tijjani Reijnders (£ 5.6 million) crashed into a bar, while Reijnders sent two further and wider shots and Nico O’REILLY (£ 4.9 million) forced rescue from guards in the first round.

Reijnders remain extraordinary value for his budget price, because he effectively plays as the second striker and is always in the team, while Foden also emerges from the shadows and, while more expensive, looking back to his livest place that is lively.

“This game is in many very good ways and step by step we will be better with many things and we will be better. We created several great opportunities. We found especially Phil in the first round and many players played very well and we created opportunities and they survived so deeply so that they were not expected for the way they played. But in the end we had to maintain better sets.
Pep Guardiola in Phil Foden

However, the defenders proved less convincing. City only keeps three clean sheets in nine matches in all competitions (against Wolves, Man Utd and Huddersfield), so the FPL manager who plays Wildcard may think twice about bringing in in Gianluigi Donnarumma (£ 5.6 million), Josko Guardiol (£ 5.8 million) or Ruben days (5.5m).

Gvardiol and Nico O’REILLY (£ 4.9 million) produces two fantastic assists, at least.

“In the second half we did not win the long ball and we were a little but too open in the middle. That is the only thing I will say we can do better. But we crashed into a post, bar, the actions we have in the last bait for the last action -it’s really good.”

Rodrigues

One of the reasons for the ongoing city defense problem is fitness Stem (£ 6.4 million), which missed most of last season due to ACL injury. The winner of Ballon d’Or last year was still being dared back to full fitness and withdrew from the Burnley match at Gameweek 6 due to knee problems. There was a concern when he was pulled in the second half at Monaco, but Guardiola insisted that it was not serious.

“Now he was not injured but a week before it was very demanding with United, Napoli and especially Arsenal and now he could not play three matches a week at the top level – the top intensity, demanding an opponent. My current feeling is that he is not ready because he needs time.

“This type of injury, at least one year and after that you have to be patient. Nico [Gonzalez] make extraordinary games the last game and increase from day to day and [Mateo] Hard[cic] will be very similar. Tijjani [Reijnders] Can play there, and see what happened. “
