Now is the time to have some Arsenal players in your Fantasy Premier League team, say two FPL experts.

Despite opening the season with two defeats, the Gunners are an attractive option because of a kind run of their next six fixtures, Holly Shand and David Munday say on the FPL Show.

Nearly a quarter of a million managers have sold Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) since the start of the season and few touches in the penalty box and a couple of big misses have influenced many, but Munday believes Saturday's fixture at home to West Ham United will allow the forward to deliver. 

"This is the kind of game where he's going to come good," Munday says. "West Ham are poor away from home, averaging 2.2 goals conceded last season. So if Arsenal are going to kick-start a great run of fixtures with some big players like this, it will be West Ham at home."
