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.

    Son off a pitch

      The Italian man who went to Malta 😀

    How is Xhaka still on the pitch?

  3. Goat

    Son and Auba out for Higuain and Hazard could pay off nicely. They’ll surely score more than 3 points and then have 2 extra players for the blanks 😎

    1. TAArt
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Looking good

  5. Dannyb

      • 7 Years

      before southampton? ok

      1. Dannyb
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Spurs look awful, just because it's Southampton next , it doesn't change that.

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          lol

    2. clodhopper
      • 12 Years

  6. Dybala10
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Look at the state of that Bournemouth defence.

    Aguero and Sterling are going to run riot.

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      perhaps they wont need a lucky pen to win this week

  7. Party time
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Wolves could get spanked today. Ultra rotation, Bamba goal incoming

    1. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      They won't

      1. Party time
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Creativity lacking in that squad buddy

        1. Party time
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Or line up rather*

          1. EMBOLOFAN
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            yeah - unlike cardiff, the new barcelona

            1. Party time
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Lol. They are trash, should be an interesting game 🙂

  8. The 5% Team
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Mendy not even in City squad 🙁

    1. Mysterion
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Finished as an option, paper mache legs...

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Pep hates him

  9. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I hate Pep.Why he left Sane on the bench?

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      because hes not v good

    2. Neevesy
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Have you watched this season at all? Sane always rotated .

    3. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Sane is now my most hated player due to Pep rotation.

    4. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Sane is rubbish.

  10. liiusions
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I’ve had double Wolves defence for so long and it’s been a painful experience.

    Now they have almost the best fixture possible and neither are playing. FPL for you.

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      True

    2. TAArt
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      If it makes you feel any better you’re not the only one

  11. FlockofSeagulls
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    So angry at myself for believing the Aguero rested talk. I'm an idiot.

    1. Peter Ouch
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Don't worry mate he will blank

    2. Weilong7
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      blame pep.. always play with fpl managers' mind

    3. Jafoole_88
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Pep cock-teased you good

    4. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yes in hindsight, but made sense - played heaps of mins lately, Pep said he was exhausted, Jesus was back in training

    5. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Blank or hooked early

  12. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Not sure I can deal with missing captaining another Kun haul

  13. drughi
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Was considering aguero>higuain for free this week but held off, feels good now

    1. Peter Ouch
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      It won't feel good tomorrow

  14. Positive vibes
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Doherty, keeping or selling?
    Will FH in gw 32.
    Buy him at 4.6m

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Very likely selling. Got him at 5.0

    2. MTPockets
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Will probably keep by default as not planning any def transfers for a while

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      im keeping cuz have too much tied up in him and want him back

    4. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      If you'd want his potential replacement in 30 or 31, that's surely more important than a bit more money for the free hit.

      1. Forza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Doherty's also useless for 33 as well.

      2. EMBOLOFAN
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        not worth hit for me all things considered

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          can field 10 and bench him jimi pogba rash

          think thats fine

    5. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I'll be selling this week I think for a Leicester guy

  15. FPL Pillars
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Doherty you absolute disappointment

    1. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Been incredible bascially all season. The odd benching doesn't change that. I've got Bennett but would gladly trade the points they've both earned.

    2. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      But yeah I can see how it's frustrating.

  16. Babit1967
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Reckon Doherty comes on for a cameo? Got Barnes 1st sub so would rather he didn’t come on

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Tough to say

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      he has in the past when rested

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah - he did last time didn't he and not sure Traore will have the stamina to play the full 90

      1. Babit1967
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers

  17. Miguel Sanchez
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Trippier second top in the BPS as it stands - been one of the worst players on the pitch today IMO

    1. fedolefan
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      *been the worst player on the pitch

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah BPS is a joke. Sometimes all it takes is 20 completed side-by-side passes

      1. Nomar
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        This

  18. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Camarasa coming on if no Doherty then

  19. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I swear Llorente gets carded for elbows every weekend.

  20. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Who assisted Kane?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Mustafi

    2. Samwise
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      kane

    3. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      The linesman.

    4. MTPockets
      7 years, 4 months ago

      none

  21. Samwise
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    wishing i had captained kun, went with sterling instead as was worried he'd only be a sub...

    1. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Even knowing the line ups I would still rather Sterling tbh.

    2. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Sterling's away form has been better than Kun's this season I believe. I have arm band on Sterling and wouldn't switch now if I could. Think it could be Raheems week.

  22. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Yellorente

  23. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Alright Raheem. First time owner and you’ve got the armband too. Bag a hattrick!!!

    1. Samwise
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      4 goals minimum from him today and a couple of assists. Predicting 6-0

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Same here. Probably blank knowing us.

  24. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    So Aguero got over his exhaustion. That's a shock.

    1. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Not really. Jesus just had one session after hammy injury. People making things more complicated than they should

  25. EMBOLOFAN
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    what do you think mustafi’s IQ is?

    1. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      That pic of him playing everyone onside is one of my favourite moments of the season.

  26. JIMMY TUGGINS
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Nuno is just Pep with a giant fake beard.

  27. aborg
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Doherty for the second time is benched against an easy opponent !! FFS.
    My rival with Bennett will be getting more points than me ironically.

  28. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Owning Son at right time and selling before 2. Lanka was one of my better decisions this year

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      * 2 blanks. Autocorrect mistake. Sorry

  29. Rash
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Need a Xhaka yc please

  30. tafrère
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Pereira and Richarlison coming on for Doherty and Jonny, not that bad.

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      be wary of wol substitutions
