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.

          Would this actually have been your bench if you didn't bench boost?

            yeh see above

    Reguillon missing from kane assist

  4. sandman58
    • 5 Years

    He's not been great
    By Kane for lovely fixtures

  5. TheTinman

    Kane anonymous. Praying for a penalty or something

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years

      I'd like to be watching that game. Have Ars v Wat. Bit of action, end to end. Cracking pen save by Foster. Rose is a liability

    Arsenal need to get Tierney on 2nd half.. to stop alot of bench points.

  7. bigwig

    I think it was after this Danny Rose's career went tits up - https://youtu.be/egr1I0krpAs

      Wow - hadn't seen that before. Explains a lot about the guys mentality. What a child.

      Can't wait for the Arsenal doc

  8. tankle

    More points on by bench than first XI :/

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      My bench is horrible but I have a starting XI every-week. I only benched 17 points in total for the whole of October.

  9. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Lucas Moura is such a basic player. Bang average

  10. SEXY SALAH
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Should be Reg G Kane A

  11. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Kane cross Reguilon shoots over from 6 yards

    1. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      not like he had time to shoot. He already late into the ball, those usually go wide

  12. chaser123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Series of unfortunate events:
    1) bench Livramento
    2) transfer out Dias
    3) bench Cancelo
    4) play Aubameyang and Saka
    5) bench Foster

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

      Is there a link?

    2. mojoindojo
      • 10 Years

      Benching Cancelo is not unfortunate.

      1. chaser123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I was persuaded that Antonio was a better choice… agreed a bad decision in hind sight

    3. mcginnntonic
      • 4 Years

      you would never have played foster lol

      1. chaser123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I played him last week… and played Ramsdale instead! Not good!

    4. Philosopher's Stones

      6) opening an account in the game a few years ago

        Hahahaha absolutely!

  13. mojoindojo

    Watford going to nick it 1-0

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years

      No way.. Rose is playing mate

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

        Rose goal incoming

  14. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    C'mon Raph get some bps

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Idiotic YC & CM assist will kill them.

      1. TheTinman
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Another goal will sort then out

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Raphinha doesn't do more than one return per game.

          1. AIRMILES
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            I'd like him to stay that way. A nice trickle of points without attracting too much attention.

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He's got 1

  15. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Spurs looking lethal under new manager. Jesus they have barely been near Evertons area in the whole half. Shocking.

  16. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Raph taking off his shirt was him paying tribute to a Brazilian singer that died in a plane crash 2 days ago.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Ah that's fair enough.

      1. Duke Silver ☑
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Should be allowed to do that without getting a yellow tbh

    2. Flair
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Neymar did the same, that singer must have been very popular. Nice to see players showing respect.

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

      But, not for Lionel Blair? Seems a bit harsh.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Still not forgiven for those weapons of mass destruction 😉

        1. DARE TO BISCAN
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          His feet had killer moves. Destroyed many a Tena 🙂

  17. mcginnntonic
    • 4 Years

    Also wish i’d gone with my gut and taken mccarthy on the wc

  18. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Bought Guaita for Raya this gw because I thought Foster is no good with the coming fixtures. I was partly right with Guaita cs...

  19. g40steve
    • 6 Years

    I can feel a rage mini wc with hits brewing 🙁

  20. Random Name
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Lacazette is 8 for 8 penalties for Arsenal. Auba is 10/15.

    Why is aubameyang even allowed to step up from 12 yards anymore honestly a joke

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Club C & big wage

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Ramsdale has never missed one either, hopefully on the next!

      1. Random Name
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        not funny

  21. Free Hat
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Leicester look awful.
    Last year Castagne and Pereira looked dangerous and high up, now they dont even dare to (or cant?) get passed someone.

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I can’t even figure out what they’re trying to do.

      It’s miserable to watch them.

  22. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Raphinha is starting to hurt me. He's achieved you-know-it's-him status when you get the notification for a Leeds goal.

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

      He's only an above average asset to own. You'll do fine without him and you'll do fine with him. He's not much of a rank killer. Rarely gets double digit hauls and has the same propensity as Salah to not get more than 1 baps unless he gets at least 2 returns.

  23. Flair
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Spurs any good so far?

    1. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Honestly no. Both sides look crap tbh.

  24. Roy Hudd
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Really annoying how Raph only ever gets 4 pts for a goal.

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Somehow I am not annoyed by a 6.5 midfielder scoring every other game.

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I am because I don't own him!

    2. DARE TO BISCAN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Hate how he scores goals

  25. PartyTime
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Gtfo my team Vardy. Rubbish from Leicester

  26. I Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Spurs should go for Raphinha. Would be a big upgrade on Lucas Moura.

  27. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Did Raphinha’s goal not touch Rodrigo?

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      It did but look who owns him!

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Do you mean....someone...at the towers?

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          How dare you.... 😉

  28. Herman Toothrot
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Prior to the Conte news I sold Kane to Auba for a hit. Safe to say the game is going exactly as expected so far.

  29. KnightSlayer

    Son , Manquilo , Duffy -》4.5 , TAA , Cancelo

  30. WVA

    Lukaku 2, 2, 2, 2, injured to Vardy 1, 1, 1....

      You're so unlucky. Has anyone ever told you before?

      Imagine doing that but Ings instead
