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.

  8. seewhyaxe

    Ah Doherty really rested.

    Let’s see if he has a cameo

    1. TAArt
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      My wolves defensive double up for their ‘good’ fixture run has been an absolute disaster

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Mine has been a nightmare

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      previously hes come off bench when rested 🙁

    3. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Yep he has before, annoyance

  9. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    hmmmm... might have to take next week's captaincy off Aguero (WAT) now.

    1. Maddamotha
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Why? Its a week’s goddamn it. People need to stop

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        haha, very true

  10. BENOIT
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    How can anyone disagree with VAR?

    Kane was offside, these decisions matter, too much at stake to let officials ruin so many matches

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      But Lineker and Shearer don't like it so it must be bad

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      very easy to object to it. accuracy =/= “fair”

      1. BENOIT
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        You what?

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 6 days ago

          sorry if you’re too dim to understand this post

    3. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Can't stand it. There are still going to be loads of mistakes.

      1. BENOIT
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        That would have been cleared up

    4. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      If Mustafi had punched Kane in the face, would it not be a pen because he was offside?

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Correct

      2. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Offside and Mustafi RC would have thought

      3. Forza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Yeah, but Mustafi could still be sent off anyway, so that would be fair.

  11. Jafooli

      “ALL JUST MY OPINION.”

      Saved yourself either way didn’t you

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Well it wasn't 100% confirmed, so made sure to highlight this pretty clearly.

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      wish i saw this

  15. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    Damn it.

  16. tafrère
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    Kane was offside. In fact, Spurs are offsides in every corner and freekick.

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      makes it even funnier

  17. Dickie1898
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    More inept officiating dictating huge games at the highest level. Roll on VAR.

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      no thanks

    2. BENOIT
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Exactly. Too much money in football these days to let the officials decide the outcome of matches

  18. fr3d
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    Why wouldn’t Aguero start?

    1. MGD
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      All the Pep comments ect

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      non owner excuse
      they have 10 days rested after today

    3. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Because FFS purposefully misused Pep's post match quotes to make it seem like he would be rested.

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        lol

  19. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    Kane essential again!

    1. Goat
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      There’s 19 other penalty takers too

  20. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    How bad is that linesman?! The line not moving and it wasn't close

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Going by the replay his line of sight was blocked tbf albeit because he could not get back fast enough.

  21. A guy
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    VAR

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      nope

  22. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    Doherty owners were warned.

    As a non-owner, I was scared of a haul from him on this Cardiff (h) fixture.

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      by whom?

      1. Zladan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        Wolves ITK on the forum, it was all over here and Twitter this morning.

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 6 days ago

          may surprise u to learn lots of people dont monitor comment section 24/7

          1. Zladan
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 6 days ago

            I mean, in amongst all the “who to captain” posts, the Wolves news dominated every page all morning.

          2. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 6 days ago

            Casuals smh

  23. Butcher
    • 12 Years

    No GK for me this GW.

    Thanks Nuno

    1. Dannyb
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      He did say way before the deadline that Ruddy was playing.

    2. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      You were literally told Ruddy was going to play.

    3. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      You've had plenty of time to get one, it was well known that Patricio wasn't playing.

    4. andrewe63
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      I swapped him for Ruddy..it was well advertised .

  24. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    Wenger in

  25. The 5% Team
    • 7 Years

    Hennessey??

  26. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Guaita benching is a surprise.

    1. The 5% Team
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      no GK for me this week....Guaita and Patricio 🙁

    2. Mysterion
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Did n@zi that coming

      1. andrewe63
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 days ago

        contraversial

  27. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    WOL ITK holds true.

    1. andrewe63
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      bookmarked it

  28. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    Severe penalty this.
    If Salah went down like this, or like Bernardo did against WHM, the site would explode here.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      No one relevant owns Kane.

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      mustafi is silly

    3. BENOIT
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Irrelevant. Was offside

  29. nobwak
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 days ago

    Betting on spurs to get a penalty is basically free money.
    How many dodgy peno's do they want!?

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Another one would be nice
