Gameweek 12 continues apace with two tantalising match-ups, with the north London derby at the Emirates earning top billing. Arsenal are looking for a sixth successive league victory this afternoon, though visitors Spurs are no pushovers and haven’t tasted defeat since the season opener at Old Trafford.

The Gunners will fancy their chances of a victory on home turf, though, considering that they haven’t lost a derby with Spurs at the Emirates since 2010. Over the previous five Gameweeks, no side has registered more goals (16) or big chances (18) than Arsenal, which bodes well for their attacking prospects. Spurs, meanwhile, have conceded just five goals in their last six outings, ensuring that the hosts are in for a challenging afternoon.

Elsewhere at 4pm, Liverpool look to maintain their impressive momentum under Jurgen Klopp as Palace roll up to Anfield. The Merseysiders are looking for a fourth straight victory in all competitions and will be buoyed by the fact that Alan Pardew’s side have netted once in the last three Gameweeks.

Palace, though, have tightened up considerably in defence in recent outings and will be no pushovers. Between Gameweek 8-11, only Arsenal and City allowed their opponents fewer shots inside the box (20) than the Selhurst Park outfit.

Given that Liverpool have netted just six times in front of their fans, then, this one could be a tightly-contested affair before we head into the third international break of the 2015/16 campaign.

    Wanted Lukaku 2 weeks ago but was 0.1m short so went Bony. Switched (c) to Bony over Vardy literally last minute this week. 30 points that's cost me. Hurts alot. Anyone else with some rough stories to tell?

      Was gonna bring in KDB and captain Sanchez GW7 but changed my mind last minute and brought in Pedro and captained him. Sanchez gets 20, KDB gets 7 and Pedro gets 2. Keep Pedro following week and he gets another 2, KDB gets 15.... one bad last minute decision cost me 37 points over 2 weeks

      Accidentally benched kolarov. Phone died just before deadline. So couldn't change Mahrez (c) to Vardy too. Cost me 15 points.

      I agree.

      I think he's one of the better ones in general, but even so it is impossible to entirely eliminate your bias towards teams you were trained to hate.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      How come?

      1. Bøwstring The Carp
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        14.8% ownership should put the average up a point or two, and I'm doing terrible as it is already ðŸ™

        1. Rödallegabomb á´¿á´®
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Will probably just be up by 1 if he gets BAPS.

        2. Nabs Kebabs
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          wouldn't be surprised for a few casuals to have captained him aswell after haul vs Chelsea than CPL

  21. Somalion

    Coutinho to Mane two weeks ago what a transfer..

    1. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      +1

  24. HNI
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Which one to prefer when Kun returns?

    1) Ozil + Mane
    2) KDB + Wijnaldum
    3) KDB + Cabaye
    4) Coutinho + Mane
    5) Mata + Mane
    6) KDB + Barkley

    Was on 1) as thinking KDB wouldnt be essential City cover when Kun and Silva return...

    Cheers!

    1. Relaxing
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      from that list, I'd go with 1

    2. brunertg
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      If you look at KDBs stats he gets more points when Kun is on the pitch, you should also factor this in, I think KDB+Aguero will be a deadly combination, which unfortunately we have not been able to see so far.
