Tottenham Hotspur take on Manchester City in the final match of Gameweek 10, with kick-off at Wembley at 20:00 GMT.

There are few major shocks in the respective line-ups, save for perhaps Christian Eriksen‘s (£9.2m) non-inclusion in the Spurs starting XI given that the Dane played 90 minutes of his side’s 2-2 draw with PSV last Wednesday.

Eriksen is joined on the home bench by the fit-again Dele Alli (£8.9m), who hasn’t featured since Gameweek 6.

Mauricio Pochettino has made only one alteration to his side from the team that beat West Ham United, with Mousa Dembele (£4.9m) replacing Harry Winks (£5.5m) in central midfield.

Kieran Trippier (£6.3m), Lucas Moura (£7.2m) and Harry Kane (£12.4m), the only three Spurs players to be owned by more than 10% of Fantasy Premier League managers, all start tonight.

Pep Guardiola has made two changes to his starting XI from the side that hammered Burnley last weekend, with Raheem Sterling (£11.1m) replacing Leroy Sane (£9.2m) on the left flank and Kyle Walker (£6.6m) ousting Vincent Kompany (£5.2m) in defence. John Stones (£5.3m) moves across to centre-half to acommodate Walker’s return at right-back.

Given the length of his lay-off, it is not a huge surprise to see Kevin De Bruyne (£9.8m) only named as a substitute by Guardiola this evening, particularly given the condition of the Wembley pitch following yesterday’s NFL game.

Sergio Aguero (£11.3m), the second-most-popular captaincy choice of Gameweek 10, starts for the tenth league match in a row.

City have recorded five clean sheets on the bounce in the Premier League and their defence has only been breached on one occasion – by Willy Boly’s controversial goal in Gameweek 3 – on the road this season.

Of the four players who scored in this fixture last season, only Sterling starts tonight.

Kane has only one home league goal to his name in 2018/19, despite Spurs facing Cardiff City and Fulham in two of the three Premier League fixtures to be contested at Wembley so far this season.

Spurs XI: Lloris, Trippier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Davies, Dier, Dembele, Sissoko, Lamela, Lucas, Kane.

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Walker, Stones, Laporte, Mendy, Fernandinho, Silva, Bernardo, Mahrez, Sterling, Aguero.

    Pick one combination: (A) D Luiz + Maddison + Arnautovic [or]
    (B) Duffy + D Silva + Wilson

    Fixtures say (A) - but worried about Arnautovic fitness and Maddison consistency....

  2. UpAndAway
    • 12 Years

    Anyone looking at Doherty to Mendy?

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      You need both imo.

      1. UpAndAway
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Only way I can have both is if one of Alonso or Robertson make way for Mendy.

  3. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Walker nearly with egg on his face

  4. TRIPOS TOPPER
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Ederson owners what are your thoughts on his steady points?
    Happy to hold or looking for a cheaper keeper who can get double figures like Ryan or Fab

    1. Ady87
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Happy with him and a non playing keeper, returns decent points. Might look to move on Jan WC if I need the money.

      1. TRIPOS TOPPER
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I have same with Edy/Hamer. Good to have a set and forget I guess can save transfers for elsewhere

    2. Shah G
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      He was supposed to be my cash cow when I WCed him in GW3.. Was planned to get rid before Liv kept due to other issues.. Now it seems wrong after 6 CSs..

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Ederson has been great this season.

    4. Jimmy Floyd
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Very happy with him, only reason I’d move on is if 1 of the city midfielders becomes essential as have mendy and aguero as well

    5. Sedemuda
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Holding for now. No rotation & steady points.

    6. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I'd keep him for the whole season if I had him. City might get over 20 cleansheets

  5. Bullet Eder
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Why is Mendy getting -BPS? He didn’t get booked for that stand off with Lamela?

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      he didnt

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Punch off target

      1. Sarcastic Warnock
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        He has got some work to do during training. Got to be curling that next time with a better precision and timing.

    3. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Disposessions.

  6. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Walker and Mendy with a horrific performance today

    1. Fantastisk
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Mendy pocketed two BAPs son.

    2. The Cherry Picker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Can’t have been that hoffific LOL

  7. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    £3.5m and 2 FT

    Maddison/Fraser > Mahrez/Martial

    Mahrez can be Dilva.

    Want to go down to one Bournemouth player (Wilson) and martial has done enough in the last 3 for me to take a punt.

    1. Ady87
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Oh, should be a question in there. Thoughts?

  8. Eddie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Jesus walker.

  9. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Hennessey + Trippier > Ryan + Mendy (-4) worked out well.

  10. Sánchez
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    6 clean sheets in a row now

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Ridiculous value to be had. Ederson essential surely.

      1. Fantastisk
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        People on here were saving the money and going with the wolves chap in goal lmao.

        1. Pacer.
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          And probably investing it in Mendy

      2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Ederson, Mendy, Alonso, Robbo, VVD is the dream defence. Throw in Haz, Kun, Salah & you don’t actually need any other players.

        Maybe Trippier joins them in a back 5 from GW15

  11. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Well done, Mahrez!

  12. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$

  13. Soapy
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Will Mendy lose bps for dispossessions?

  14. Andy Mac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Ederson and Mendy sharing 2 baps each?? If so, happy days!! 🙂

    1. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      There will prob be deductions for Mendy at least.

  15. MTPockets
      7 years, 5 months ago

    • Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      City bossing it... fulbacks play **** and still seem quite solid at back. Laporte underrated?

    • Chucky
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Will take 5 points from Laporte... 6th CS in a row... 😀

    • Klein
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      So 67 point gw. How bad?

      1. Richd
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Slightly above average. Very slightly.

    • Niho992
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      any chance to ederson retain BAPS ?

    • Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      City staring down the barrel of 7 consecutive CS’s - Mendy Ederson double up is smashing it

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Shane Long is due 😛

    • RNGD Shobby
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Mendy not a terrible sub for Robertson 😀

    • Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Mendy returns points again. Ugh. I need to fit this guy in somehow...

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Could a 451 be the way to go?! Want 5 milfs.

        Or Robertson/Alonso out?

        1. How Mina You
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          That's a lot of milfs

    • SPorting
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Mendy baps again but reluctant to swap Laporte to Mendy after that performance.

      1. Pacer.
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Insane thinking

    • Styles_X
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      tripps to mendy switched worked out alright i guess

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Trips to Mendy & Rich to Martial for free were mine. Think +10 as baps stand.
