Xhaka and Moura recalled as Ramsdale starts again

In the final Premier League match of the day, there’s a small matter of a north London derby at the Emirates as Arsenal take on Tottenham Hotspur.

The Gunners, who are unbeaten in their past 10 Premier League home games against Spurs, make one change as Granit Xhaka (£4.9m) returns to the starting XI after a three-game ban, with Nicolas Pepe (£7.2m) dropping out.

That means a third consecutive start for Aaron Ramsdale (£4.5m) in goal.

At Tottenham, Japhet Tanganga (£4.6m) and Davinson Sanchez (£4.5m) replace Emerson Royal (£5.0m) and Cristian Romero (£4.9m) at the back, while Lucas Moura (£6.4m) comes in for Giovani Lo Celso (£5.9m) further forward.

Steven Bergwijn (£6.0m) and Ryan Sessegnon (£4.4m) both miss out through injury.

GAMEWEEK 6 LINE-UPS

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, Tomiyasu, White, Gabriel, Tierney, Partey, Xhaka, Saka, Odegaard, Smith Rowe, Aubameyang 

Subs: Leno, Pepe, Martinelli, Lokonga, Cedric, Maitland-Niles, Holding, Tavares, Lacazette

Spurs XI: Lloris, Tanganga, Sanchez, Dier, Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Ndombele, Alli, Moura, Son, Kane

Subs: Gollini, Rodon, Gil, Lo Celso, Skipp, Romero, Royal, Scarlett, Davies

    In your opinions whats the most pressing thing to address?

    - Bachmann > Ramsdale - that'll hopefully eek out a few more cleansheets, it's something I'll need to address nonetheless

    - Gilmour > ESR - will give me added flexibility up top in what I already feel is a good midfield/attack

    - Ronaldo > Vardy, fixtures and free up funds

    - Semedo > Alonso - although I think they match each other for points in the next GW

    Alternatively wait through midweek games and sell James and Ayling for Rudiger and White/Marcal?

      Depends on the length of James injury. I'd have said yes beforehand, but if James is out for 4 GWs I'm not sure he is.

      Rudi rarely offers attacking returns, so it depends what the £0.6m gives you elsewhere. It's a potential transfer out / rotation risk but Silva could pick up an injury & them Christensen becomes nailed.

    I am confused about vardy. He is scoring goals but Leicester really looking bad so far and 10.4 is expensive. DCL is far better pick. Hopefully he will be back pretty soon. Everton as a team looks attacking and exciting.

      Look at DCLs goals this season. Nothing technical and quite lucky.

      Vardy is prolific. Scores goals whilst LEI play bad. Wait until they play good... No way I'm getting rid yet

      The team I'm looking at is Villa.

      From next week, Ings or Watkins could be strong forward picks with good fixtures and a team that are coming together. I avoided them at the start of the season because they were blooding so many new players but they look a proper team now with 3 atb and Ings is class. Flying under the radar a bit.

      Nearly identical to mine, you should have wedge left as well then?

      Would go Luiz for 5th mid

      That looks like my draft, but I will probably have Ars mid over Benrahma.

    Defence

    Trent Rudiger XX Semedo Liv

    Who for the 3rd spot? Wanna play 3 at the back with option to go 4.

    Alonso, Cancelo, Dias, who to pick?

    Someone tell me this isn’t worth it…..

    Ronaldo, Bamford & Shaw > Lukaku, Aubameyang & Christensen (-8)

        I’m trying to justify it in my mind as I’m losing 2 injured players… but losing Ronaldo ahead of Everton at home feels weird
