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.

        So that's the guy who's been transferring in Aguero this week?

  3. Defcons are for Kinnear

    Where did he Leno save like that?

  4. Differential C (Mark)

    Leno has really upped his game as the season has progressed.

    1. Deulofail

      = this game

    Leno looks brilliant. Lloris looks like a shoplifter.

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He saved well from Iwobi too tbf. That second Leno save though wow

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

        He would have been absolutely crucified if he let that Iwobi one in

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

      Lloris has been dodgy for a season or so now. Especially since he got done for drink driving

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

        Would have thought he would have sobered up by now

    If/when Aubameyang is subbed on, he will destroy Arsenal on the counter.

    1. fr3d

      Plot twist

    2. Point-one short
      • 9 Years

      An OG or two would be good. Will have to beat Leno though.

    3. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years

      He plays for Arsenal

    4. Hazz

      Whoopsie 😆

  9. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Sissoko is absolutely killing Spurs here. Sooner he comes off the better for Son, Kane, Eriksen owners.

    As it happens I own nobody in this game and I’m enjoying this scoreline with Kola not getting a CS.

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

      Wamyama is the weak link.

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Still not up to speed, wrong game to play him imo.

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

          Not sure they have another option? Probably too big of a game for Skipp to start in.

    2. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He has arguably been the best spurs player in the first half along with trippier imo

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

        We watching the same game. Trip is woeful.

      2. Zladan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Mate he has been awful in the middle of the pitch. Disruptive to any attack Spurs have.

        Also it may have been him at fault for the goal before Laca’s pass. Correct me if I’m wrong.

  10. Taking the Mkhitaryan
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Does anyone remember when Kane was an option ?
    The good old days

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Kane to be priced to 11.0m next season, watch.

  11. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Cant get enough of that double save, inject that s**t up my veins!

    1. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Cech would’ve conceded three times from that double

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Love Cech, but yeah, probably!

        I still do the Cech side to side penalty routine when I play, legend.

      2. Jafooli

    eriksen avoids criticism but he's been awful for mths

  13. Hazz

    • 8 Years

    Nothing better than seeing Jermaine Jenas on the panel when Tottenham are losing.

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

      I can think of a couple of things involving the lead from Outlander!

    Is the Poccatino/manure link destabilising spurs?

    1. Mysterion

      Craving a mochaccino now, cheers

    2. Steinburg FC

      no its a lake of center midfield quality

  16. Marvin.

    I fear Leicester may discover just how good Brendan Rodgers really is.

    1. Rash
      • 8 Years

      Not sure if this is sarcasm or not..

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

        To be clear. He's not very good.

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

          As I thought. Hoping there's a manager bounce for fpl sake.

          1. andrewe63
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            someone yesterday called it a 'dead cat bounce' lol

        2. Brosstan
          • 11 Years

          Just what Leicester deserve then

      Marvin - I have a proposal for you - email me kurt-grohl@gmx.com if intrigued....

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

        Should I be worried by this?

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

          It's not sexual (unless you want it to be....)

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

            This is very disturbing.

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

        What about Krist?

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I think Rogers real calling was a middle management/PR man he has all the middle management patter off to perfection.
      Then you wonder what he actually said after it all.

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

        He could sell toothpaste perhaps?

  17. Steinburg FC
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    i admit our football hasn't been great but it looks like Mou has taken over for the day...
    That tackle against Kane before the first goal was disgusting...

    1. Steinburg FC
      • 11 Years

      taken over arsenal

  19. Vlad Tepes

    Why is Xhaka still on the field? Should have been sent off 100%. Not even a yellow lol

    1. Steinburg FC

  20. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    That Ladbrooks Jay from Inbetweeners fake Brian Blessed voice advert hasn't got any less cringe-worthy all season. I almost vomit every time.

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

      Ain't no Rhodri Giggs that's for sure.

      1. Ron_Swanson
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        That’s a good one. It’s got him a role in Corrie apparently

  21. Steinburg FC

    i Canit wait until Alli is back so Erikson con drop back and link up play. We are missing Dembele...

    Two FTs. What to do next week?

    Maybe Awb out for Clyne ?

    0.1 itb

    Alisson
    Vvd. Digne. Awb
    Pogba. Anderson. Almiron. Salah c. Hazard
    Aguero. Jiminez

    Speroni. Diop. Doherty. Ashley Barnes.

  23. Dacra

    Sold Laca. Vardy had better perform!

  24. IRBOX ⚽

    I really don’t understand Emery’s half time changes for the sake of it

  25. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Poch playing 3cb and 2 CDM v arsenal with one striker

  26. Differential C (Mark)

    Would love for Cech to get the final game vs Burnley. Guard of honor and speech. Celebration of a long and rezpected career of one of the all time greats.

    Not FPL related but what do people make of the Samsung galaxy S10+ ? Considering an upgrade from 8+

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Meh, can still be a decent explosive, nothing much.

      But seriously, looks great and much better specs. The money is worth the quality.

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years

      Play FH just in case you don't like it

  28. Danstoke82

    Cannot wait to be rid of Son from my team. Absolutely sweet FA from him since I brought him into my team.

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

      Same. Troll of the season.

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I never seem to time it right with him. He literally destroyed my ML lead and rank during his golden run. Since I brought him in he’s been anonymous

    2. Maddamotha
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Even with Southampton next?

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Said the same about some of the other fixtures he has had since his golden run. Brought nothing and with Kane now back it lessens his appeal further

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

    So bad from trippier

  30. IRBOX ⚽
    • 9 Years

    Trippier awful

    1. Hazz

      Son was in (again).
