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.

    Kane clean sheet gone

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He doesn't get them anyway. He's like Milner, plays in defence most games but doesn't get the clean sheet bonus.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        So unfair

  3. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Ramsey at Wembley is different gravy.

  4. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    How much will Ramsey be next season?

    In Lira, during their recession years....

    Am super confident with Sterling capt then I see he's only at 17%

    Would have thought he would have much more of the vote??

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Rotation

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Haz on 8% vs Ful is even more surprising

    3. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He's not highly owned.

    4. Ginkapo FPL

      Fernandinho is out

    Bacuna nailed?

    1. Mysterion
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Bacuna matata
      What a wonderful phrase

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Bacuna matata, ain't no passing craze!

        1. Mysterion

      Sh*t. Forgot about the curse. Wonder who it'll be.

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years

  12. SirStevieG

  14. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Poch, kane have become strangely aggressive last few games

    It appears with united and ole doing so well their planned move up north is likely to be off

    The anger knowing you will likely stay at spurs for another season

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Same with Hazard whos stuck at Chelsea

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Madrid might still find a home for the 2 besties.

  15. Goat
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Some goal that. Offside though

  16. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Spurs to finish fifth in the title race

    1. Barca_Rover
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      And Poch and Eriksen off to Madrid next season

  17. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years

    Mark Hughes is available, I hear xD

  18. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years

    Emery is a genius

  19. SHOOTER MCGINN

    Goals in this game. Couple of red cards too.

  20. Poseidon.

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years

      You don’t understand football

      1. Poseidon.
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Based on what exactly

      2. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Pretty sure hes a troll

    2. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$

      So are your incessant lame trolling attempts

      1. Poseidon.
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Seems I touched a berve

        1. Fitzy.
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Have another go

        2. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          You touch all sorts of nerves. You are the worst poster I have ever seen on this site.

          1. Mysterion
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            😆 don't hold back now

          2. DA Minnion (Former great)
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            That's some achievement to be fair on here.

    3. tafrère
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      They are, that's why they never win anything.

  21. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Poch no longer linked to United. Emery to United

  22. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Don't think spurs have had a shot on target in this game

    Didn't v Chelsea wither. Worrying times for spurs

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Neither did Arsenal. Pretty poor game so far.

  23. Emiliano Sala

    Emery humilating spurs with 2nd team

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Are you watching the game?

  24. Waynoo
    • 12 Years

    Porch is so overrated

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Nah its a great thing to have, especially in the summer.

    2. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Helps keep my boots dry without having to walk them through the house though.

    3. Mysterion
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Porch > Patio

      1. HamezMace
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed, Patio was supposed to be the next big thing, now rotting away in China.

        1. Mysterion
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          And still only 29 😮 he should try to make a comeback like Axel Witsel

          1. HamezMace
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Or Paulinho, Spurs, to Guanzhou Evergrande, to Barcelona.
            That's some rapid career progression!

      2. Amey
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        He was a legend in FIFA manager mode for me.
        Him+ Neves (ex city player)

  25. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Son shot on target?

  26. Rash
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Vert makes a better wing back than rose

  27. FlockofSeagulls
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Alli's been very quiet.

  28. kime67
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    this team is horrible with kane. when he gets the ball no vision head down only thinking about scoring him self. awful

    1. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A striker wanting to score. What a disaster.

  29. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Can any english natives explain this term?

    "Son against Guendouzi - a couple of lollipops"

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Lollipops = stepovers

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

        I never knew that. Cheers.

      2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 9 Years

        The more you know

      3. JustPark
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        How does that work actually?

      4. Marvin.
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I believe Ron Atkinson introduced the world to this saying didn't he?

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No clue!

    3. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It's a mild racist slur

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        😆

  30. JustPark
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Fml Laca first in bench. Any chance one of Jimmy/Jota won't feature?

    1. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      *on

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah they’ll both get subbed on

    3. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Rumour of 5 changes at wolves - more chance of Jota rested afaik

    4. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      You'd rather take an assist from Laca than play one of the Wolves players?

      1. JustPark
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Expected more from Wolves last time so yeah.

        1. Fitzy.
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          So why play them over Laca then?

    5. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, there's a chance, rumours of 5 changes to Wolves side apparently. I'd still take Jiminez v Cardiff though over one assist from Laca !

    6. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Why would you bench Laca? Such poor utilisation of funds
