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.

      Good luck too.

    Don't worry Auba owners, I finally got rid this week so he's guaranteed attacking returns as a sub!

  4. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    No surprises in the lineups. Emery loves the EL and with Laca suspended he needs Auba fresh.

    1. Yome
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Arsenal only chance of trophy

    2. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      At least we know for the DGWs

  5. an old man who loves footba…
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    Will there be more games added to DGW32 or will it just be Man Utd and Wolves who have 2 games?

    1. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Expect more games to be added, after FA cup results.

  6. Waynoo
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    I have no players in this game

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Same here. 1-1 with low owned players scoring please

  7. Dele
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    Benching Doherty for Bennett feels so wrong.

    Time to offload Wolves assets next week if using FH32?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Why would you do that?

    2. Effe
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Why did you do that?

    3. Vobinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Very strange. Both gets CS points with Doherty favoured over Bennett for attacking points.

  8. Fantasy Gold
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    That Laca suspension in the Europa league has really screwed Auba owners 🙂

      Big time mate since I got him in illness, sub , plays Arsenal score 5 he gets on one and goes off after 70 mins, sub!! Can not wait to get him out of my team later!!

    2. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Thatsss the spirit...

    3. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Screwed big time. The worst transfer of all times. Lost ft for nothing

    4. Peter Ouch
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Wouldnt say so.
      I C Auba last week got back a few points and now I have ditched him, was pretty clear that he is not worth a place in our squads

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        I sold Kun and instead of making 2 other transfers I wasted them. Didn't have anyone striker for 5.0 otherwise would sold him and bring Sterling. It is what it is.

  9. Yome
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    Go Lloris cleanie

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Why do you want it to go?

      1. DeathoftheParty
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        I've just shipped him so I would absolutely like it to go.

  10. Andy'81
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    The top two teams in my main cash league have now both used two chips each, I'm embarrassed to be 70 points behind these god damn amateurs.

    1. andrewe63
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      The number one guy in the world has used all his chips!

      1. andrewe63
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        I'd love to be called an amateur by you if I were top of the whole pile.

        1. Andy'81
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 days ago

          It's only in jest.

      2. Mreidfelt
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        I have used 0 chips but ranked 5112...doubt my chips make it up lol

      3. HamezMace
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        He won't be number one after all his rivals used their chips when it's more beneficial to do so.

      4. Andy'81
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        To be fair though if I thought it could get me to number 1 overall in the world I'd use them too, I'm much to coward to take that risk ahead of the DGW's.

        1. andrewe63
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 5 days ago

          We'd all love to be top "even just for one day" lol

  11. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    FH 32
    WC 34
    BB/TC 35

    When to use the other BB/TC ?

    1. Opta out
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      This is my strategy. I've used my TC on Aguero's hatrick (which was nice), so i don't have to worry about squeezing that in over this short period. How you doing with coverage GW31? I've got 9 at the moment, so with two more free transfers should have a full 11 barring injuries.

  12. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    I am so gonna celebrate when Arsenal end 6th!!! You bench Auba you deserve!!!

  13. money face bandwagon
    • 12 Years

    Feels great that I sold auba this gw

  14. TLF

    Son to Sterling (C) -4, what could go wrong....

    1. DeathoftheParty
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Son hatty apparently...

  15. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    Benched Doherty for McNeil last minute.
    Just realized that they play simultaneously.
    Should be interesting.

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Doherty not playing ??
      😮
      Awb comes in for him for me.

  16. Maddamotha
    • 9 Years

    A real career booster that rc for Lacca

  17. JELLYFISH
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    Kola to TAA moves feels good right now

  18. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 days ago

    Top 10k captains:

    Pogba 39%
    Sterling 17%
    Aguero 16%

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Salah 12%
      Hazard 8%

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Ah. Thanks

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Salah for me. What about him?

    3. JELLYFISH
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      I had the armband on Kun until last night then switched to Pogba. I shall blame it on draught Jail ale if Kun rips it up

    4. IRBOX ⚽
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Salah.. wow! So juicy

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Salah EO under 100% I think

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 days ago

          Delish

    5. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Salah will explode. So obvious

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        explode in frustration at bad form and get a red card

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 5 days ago

          We'll see Bemba

    6. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years

      Nice I have all 3, shame I'm not top 10k!

  19. Snevitz

    I feel let down by the lack of sensationalism in this title.

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      "You won't believe what Emery has done, and the cameraman kept on filming"

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Sensationalism is something FFS is usually pretty good at 😉

    3. MTPockets
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Emery's shock decision is shocking

      • TOPCAT1960
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Fantasy Team Manager Pre-Empts Emery Decision to drop Kola and Auba to the bench.....yes!

    4. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Went Salah captain, not popular and form not very good, but I wouldnt be surprised when he gets back to top form tomorrow. Nice having no obvious captain choice, makes it much more interesting.

      1. Positive vibes
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        In the same boat, good luck mate.

        1. ZeBestee
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 5 days ago

          You too, mate.

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

      I'd rather have Kamara than Auba. At least you'll know where you stand week in -week out

    7. Mreidfelt
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      I love Hakkebof (being a swede) and raise my hand with exception for Aguero lol

      1. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        I love Stureplan

        1. Mreidfelt
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

      2. FC Hakkebøf
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Is just a stupid name I chose for my danish fantasy team a lot of years ago. Stuck to it because of the renomme lol

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 days ago

          It's*

      3. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Thought he was Finnish?

    8. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      "(...)entirely of centerbacks"

      Monreal is hardly a CB

    9. Rash
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      I despise Emery

      1. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        So does Wenger

    10. Bishal444
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Any chance kolasainic will come as a sub ?

    11. Waynoo
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      I predict a dull 0-0

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        3-0 I reckon

        1. Barca_Rover
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 days ago

          3-0 shots on goal , 0-0 scoreline

          1. La Roja
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 5 days ago

            😀

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        predictions are not your strong point

        1. Gudjohnsen
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 days ago

          4-2 to Spurs (Kane brace, Eriksen and son, Lacazette, Ramsey)

      3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        2-0 Son brace

        1. Barca_Rover
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 days ago

          I just git him out .. that cant happen now lol

    12. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Son, Kamara to Harvey Barnes, Higuain for gw 30?

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        Son vs sou..

        1. Gudjohnsen
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 days ago

          Yeah, it's a risk.

      2. EMERGING STAR
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 days ago

        I actually did Son and Kamara to Arnautovic and Brooks

    13. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 days ago

      Arsenal bench looks better than their 11 players starting

    14. Pierce34

      Great article picture.

      1. Rash

        That's the look when I seen auba on the bench
