Emery rotates key personnel out for North London derby

Unai Emery has named a much-changed starting XI for the North London derby.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m) and Sead Kolasinac (£5.1m) have both been named on the bench, much to the frustration of their Fantasy owners.

However, those assets are not the only ones to miss out, with midfield men Mesut Özil (£7.9m) and Lucas Torreira (£4.8m) also among the substitutes.

Those who have held onto Son Heung-min (£8.9m) will be quite excited to see a back-four seemingly made up entirely of centre-backs.

With Kolasinac and Ainsley Maitland-Niles (£4.4m) on the bench, Nacho Monreal (£5.4m), Laurent Koscielny (£5.4m), Sokratis Papastathopoulos (£5.1m), and Shkodran Mustafi (£5.4m) are the starting options in defence.

Harry Kane (£12.4m) and Son are the front two for Spurs, who are playing a 3-5-2 formation with Toby Alderweireld (£6.0m), Jan Vertonghen (£5.9m) and Davinson Sánchez (£5.8m) flanked by Kieran Trippier (£6.2m) and Danny Rose (£5.8m).

Spurs XI: Lloris, Trippier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Rose, Wanyama, Sissoko, Eriksen, Son, Kane.

Arsenal XI: Leno, Mustafi, Sokratis, Koscielny, Monreal; Guendouzi, Xhaka, Ramsey; Iwobi, Lacazette, Mkhitaryan.

    Arsenal assets are even worse than City considering rotation.

      I'm happy having sold Firmino for Laca before GW27

    Incredibly tight at the top of fpl, Higuan a nice captain pick for no. 3.

    Emery must have watched the burnley game and decided to copy their tactics with that starting lineup

            • 12 Years

            He has his moments but I'm not convinced either.

            1. Burger
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              He does tbf, but always a risk of rotation also.

    Let's go Son

  15. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Auba would have scored that

  16. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Wow, poor auba owners. Missing the deadline 2 weeks ago to keep aguero instead of getting in auba is my best decision if the season.

  17. Ruinenlust
    • 6 Years

    Why didn’t Son shoot ffs

  21. Rash
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Fellow auba owners fear not. Arsenal score more in 2nd half.. Auba against tired legs hopefully

    1. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 7 Years

      Anybody?

      Wish they'd bring it back. No idea why it was abandoned.

      1. GREEN IS GOOD
        • 7 Years

        Oops reply fail

    I'll try again:

    Anyone remember the 2006 official premier league fantasy football World Cup?

    You could only choose from Premier league players playing at the world Cup finals.

    I think it was a one off, but was excellent (I won my ML after all).

    The quality of illegal football streams has improved no end over the last season or two. Watching in HD now so a big thank you to those who stick their neck out to provide others with such a selfless service.

    1. cheekumz

      Selfless? illegal streams make good money from dodgy advertisers that cant use more legit sites to market on. malware ridden cesspits of the internet

        I'm not complaining, as many others aren't. Costs a packet to subscribe from companies that could make a healthy profit but choose to make massive profits. My Pc is a 'rat' machine i use for such events. Have an anti-virus and malware, vpn's etc.
