The Arsenal ace is joined on the sidelined by Manchester City star David Silva while managers are abandoning Aleksandar Mitrovic as his barren run stretches to four matches.
On the other hand, West Ham stars are in demand following their four wins on the bounce while Danny Ings’ double against Arsenal has seen a rise in his ownership.
Express Sport has rounded up the most transferred in and out players ahead of GW18.
OUT – 5. David Silva (Manchester City): 49,347
Silva has been ruled out until the new year after suffering a muscle injury, although the return of Kevin De Bruyne to full fitness has lessened the blow for City.
OUT – 4. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Arsenal): 51,152
Without a goal since GW14 but managers may rue selling the Gabon international with a home clash against Burnley up next.
OUT – 3. Aleksandar Mitrovic (Newcastle United): 53,782
Fulham are rooted to the bottom of the table and Mitrovic has failed to find the back of the net in four matches.
OUT – 2. Hector Bellerin (Arsenal): 82,184
The Spanish international was forced off with a calf injury against Southampton and is a doubt to face the Clarets.
OUT – 1. Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool): 158,149
The right-back suffered a foot injury that ruled hime out of the win over Manchester United, although Jurgen Klopp has delivered a positive update on the 20-year-old.
IN – 5. Matt Doherty (Wolverhampton Wanderers): 59,707
The Wolves defender now has three goals and three assists as well as five clean sheets so far this season.
IN – 4. Danny Ings (Southampton): 62,961
A brilliant double against the Gunners helped spark an unlikely victory for the south coast side.
IN – 3. Robert Snodgrass (West Ham United): 63,794
A man in form with two goals and three assists in his last four matches.
IN – 2. Felipe Anderson (West Ham United): 71,558
Like Snodgrass, Anderson is receiving plenty of investment during West Ham’s kind run of fixtures with main man Marko Arnautovic still out.
IN – 1. Leroy Sane (Manchester City): 96,160
Sane is closing in on the 100-point mark for the season after two more assists against Everton and should cause plenty of problems for the Crystal Palace defence.
