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.

    wtf no Guaita? no Gk 🙁 Patrico

  3. Hands Guber

    Patricio/Guaita double up lols.

    I'm a relic of the Gerrard/Lampard/Ronaldo FF era where rotation wasn't a thing and fantasy football was, admittedly, dumber, but was actually more fun because you scored more points more often!

    1. Hands Guber
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      And yes, we knew about Patricio but for all those criticising and/or showing no sympathy for Guaita/Patricio double up you're not going to take Patricio out for missing one game are you? And there was no indication Guaita would be dropped, so, don't think there's any need to be like 'you knew Patricio wouldn't play', because of the above logic.

        Well, he doesn't play GW31 and is away to Chelsea next week. Getting rid was the obvious move I would have thought.

  4. tafrère

    This Doherty-Jonny worked well this week.

  5. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years

    5. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 days ago

      Doherty can still get 30 minutes and if they need a goal he'll play on the wing.
