The Gameweek begins with the headline fixture, as Spurs host Arsenal in the north London derby at Wembley Stadium.
In Fantasy terms, it’s a match that promises to be hugely significant with Harry Kane’s tally likely to prove pivotal.
Once again he is a favoured captain pick, though it’s Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah who proves the most popular choice, ensuring that the outcome of today’s early kick-off could decide our Gameweek fortunes.
Kane’s record in derby matches hints that he could deliver again today – the Gameweek 12 defeat at the Emirates is the only occasion that Kane has failed to score against the Gunners in the Premier League. Meanwhile, the Arsenal defence are without a clean sheet in their last eight Gameweeks.
The team news springs one major surprise, with Aaron Ramsey missing out with a “minor groin problem”.
The Welshman’s 20 points in Gameweek 26 ensured that he was the fourth most bought player ahead of today’s deadline, with over 139,000 acquiring the midfielder. They suffer immediate disappointment and must hope that Manchester City avoid a replay in the FA Cup, or Ramsey will miss out until Gameweek 29.
