Iheanacho and Tierney benched as Son and Kane start for Conte in 3-4-3 formation

There are three Premier League matches kicking off at 14:00 BST today – Arsenal v Watford, Everton v Tottenham Hotspur and Leeds United v Leicester City.

Mikel Arteta makes one change from Gameweek 10, as Ainsley Maitland-Niles (£5.3m) comes in for Thomas Partey (£5.0m), who is out with a tight groin.

That means Nuno Taveres (£4.3m) keep his place at left-back, with Kieran Tierney (£4.8m) on the bench, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.1m) leads the line alongside Alexandre Lacazette (£8.3m), having scored six goals in five Premier League appearances against Watford.

Claudio Ranieri makes five changes, with Kiko Femenia (£4.4m), Danny Rose (£4.2m), Nicolas Nkoulou (£4.5m), Ozan Tufan (£5.0m) and Emmanuel Dennis (£5.2m) all amongst the starting XI.

At Goodison Park, Antonio Conte takes charge of his first Premier League game as Tottenham Hotspur Head Coach, and sticks with the same XI that beat Vitesse on Thursday.

Rafael Benitez, meanwhile, makes three changes from Gameweek 10, with Lucas Digne (£5.2m), Fabian Delph (£4.4m) and Anthony Gordon (£4.5m) replacing Mason Holgate (£4.2m), Jean-Philippe Gbamin (£4.5m) and Alex Iwobi (£5.8m).

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£8.0m) and midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.4m) remain on the sidelines. 

Elsewhere, Leeds United make just one change, with Adam Forshaw (£4.5m) coming in for Jamie Shackleton (£4.5m), while Brendan Rodgers has benched Kelechi Iheanacho (£7.0m) and James Maddison (£6.7m), with Ademola Lookman (£6.0m) and Harvey Barnes (£6.5m) flanking Jamie Vardy (£10.8m) up front.

    Rodgers derails the Nacho wagon before it leaves the station. Wow

      Yes, feel incredibly lucky I lacked the courage of my convictions a couple of weeks ago and gave him a miss

    Dean Smith bounced. Ole keeps driving...

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Bet there’s a few that keep betting on Ole to be next manager sacked and keep losing money

    Ndombele out of favour now?

    1. acidicleo
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Is he on bench?

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yes

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      No space for him in a 3-4-3, and he's the only performer in a 3-5-2

      I guess there's something Conte didn't like in training, or he was just impressed with Moura on Thursday and wants to give him a go (Bergwijn backup)

      I also guess that if Moura doesn't impress, we might see 3-5-2 soon enough with Ndombele back (Lo Celso backup) for creativity down the middle

      Very early days, still

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah thought he'd be a definite starter in 3-5-2. Moura must be doing wonders in training.

        I'd love to see Doherty today - unfortunately not a starter yet.

    Jota brace and an assist today

    Gray and Dier on the bench, competing against Sarr for a P45.

  10. Botman and Robben

    Kane & Son audition for me to see if they make my team for next GW.

  11. NABIL - FPL otai

    2 years, 5 months ago

    Partey out is bad news for Ramsdale owners.

  12. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Was a busy week and Friday evening deadline has killed me. Ended up playing Duffy Mbeumo and Hwang rather than Antonio Cancelo and Livra, without properly checking stats and ownership. Damn, been well punished 🙁

    Is Everton v Spurs televised anywhere in the UK or just the Arsenal game?

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Just Arsenal unfortunately

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      You'll probably find it on Twitter but it will break every 25 mins or so.

  14. El Matador
    • 10 Years

    Cancelo first on bench. Hope Tierney doesn't come on for a cameo.

    1. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I got your back.

  15. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    I bet the Leeds v Leicester game is lively.

    Probably prefer to watch that one over Arsenal v Watford.

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I’m watching that but we get to chose in the US. All are available- it’s real good

    2. Tasty Jerk
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Where you based? All 3 games are live on TV over here. Watching Everton v Spurs on the TV and Leeds v Leicester on the ipad app today.

      1. DARE TO BISCAN
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years

        Wherever 'over here' is. Not there.

      2. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        In the UK and we've got Arsenal v Watford.

        The Arabic streams on Twitter have offered the other 2 and I've got Leeds v Leicester on too.

    Good Afternoon all!! Early thoughts and advice on my team below would be wonderful!!! Cancelo must be a priority?! Only 1FT and zero in the bank unfortunately, can do Raphinha to Gallagher and Rudiger to Cancelo with the exact money now as Gallagher went up last night….

    Guaita
    TAA Chilwell Rudiger
    Salah Foden Raphinha Mbeumo
    Ronaldo Antonio Toney
    Subs- Foster Livramento ESR White

    Cheers everyone!!!

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Think you might need to downgrade your 8th attacker to upgrade to Cancelo.

      Probably Toney down to a 4.5 would get you enough for Rudi or White up?

      Not worth a hit though - so maybe just roll.

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I can do Toney to a 4.4/4.5 forward and do White to Cancelo mate, that’s an option I’m looking at, could also do Mbeumo to Browhill and Rudiger to Cancelo too
