Saturday’s events end with the headline act, as leaders Manchester City host Spurs at the Etihad Stadium.

The big team news is undoubtedly the omission of David Silva, reportedly due to “personal reasons”. We have no further explanation as yet for a player who was the most signed ahead of Gameweek 18, with over 278,000 drafting him in.

Silva had returned four goals from his previous four Gameweeks and his absence will be felt by City, with İlkay Gündogan coming in to replace the Spaniard.

For Spurs, Dele Alli returns to the starting line-up as expected, though Danny Rose plays back-to-back league matches for the first time this season, with Ben Davies kept on the bench. Kieran Trippier returns at right-back.

Intriguingly, two of the most sold players this week – Leroy Sane (sold by 166,000) and Harry Kane (sold by 135,000) – are in opposition and will be under scrutiny.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    It's all been the wingers lack of tracking back for me and Trippier being way too narrow for me. This is where the biggest problem has been.

    Jesus served well for a lot of gameweeks despite getting limited game time but now is surely the time to get rid. Points bonanza elsewhere for as much or less money.

      When's the best time to play the first WC? Is it worth doing for the Xmas games, because there will be a lot of rotation?

        Don’t think you have too many options if you still have it!

    5. diesel001

      Winks should have gone to ground or passed to Kane

    6. The Enlightener

    8. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Winks should have dived to get a penalty there

      1. GOTHAM City F.C.
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        would've got a YC

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Ref would have definitely given it if he fell

      2. Majestic Chanka
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Hoping it the future refs will give a pen there when they have video technology

      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Do you all see how City constantly foul up the pitch and will never get yellow cards for it?

      Referees need to penalise this.

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        You sound like Mourinho 😉
