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.

    Played Foster last match, Ramsdale this…hate 2 playing keepers..

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Just play one then.

    2. Revival

      Had enough of two playing keepers two seasons ago when I kept starting the wrong one every-week. Now I always have one starter and a 4.0m bench fodder.

    3. splitzz

      they would have come to your rescue if you were in my sanchez shoes

  2. Pep's Money Laundry

    How has Kane looked?

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

      Exactly the same as before. Some quality on the ball but he is not getting in the box

    2. GROBARI
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Not involved that much but created big chance for Reguilon at the end of the first half

    3. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks guys, it's probably best changing formations then as a vardy & auba owner

  3. mcginnntonic
    • 4 Years

    Depressing to think i’d be too 1k in the world if i captained salah over havertz the other week. irritating

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

      If I had more points, I'd be doing better too. Hate that.

  4. Cok3y5murf

    Spurs hype already dead

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Doesnt matter who their manager is with that group of players

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

      Didn't stop Kane rising in price on pure hype!

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

        Just like Toney. But Kane is proven and Toney isnt

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      wing backs look alright, defence looks solid enough with 2 CDMs in front

      1. Pep bites Kun
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        What formation are they playing, 343 or 352?

  5. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Desperately need a spurs pen. Don't think Kane scores otherwise.

    Ben Foster is the most-benched player of GW11, put there by 1,801,102 #FPL managers!

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Beautiful

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I knew this without having to think or read about it tbf

    3. GROBARI
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I dont know who even started him tbh 😀

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        My ML leader

    4. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Benched him myself

      Started Bachman 🙂

    5. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Can't be me who benches Foster for Ramsdale. I only benched McCarthy for Sanchez 😉

  7. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Aubameyang is the gift that keeps giving. My closest rival played his free hit a couple of weeks ago and so had him for his penalty miss. And he transferred him in for real this week just in time for another one.

  8. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Auba (c) here. Disaster.

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Likewise, could of scored a brace on another day 🙁

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Indeed he could've on another day.

    2. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Not as if Salah will punish you...

  9. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Aubamayang is getting sold and never bought again unless he scores 2 in the second half.

    Absolute clown performance. Shoots his penalty in the same place Martinez saved weeks ago.

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

      Any improvement on the willie front, David?

      1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        You wish

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Honestly I've always thought he's not a great penalty taker, I've rarely seen him hit one where I've thought he's hit one that looks convincing

      1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I left the room as I knew he’d miss. He’s looked lacking in confidence when he should be thriving.

    3. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Don't cry

      1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Why aye spoggie man shall we go down biker grove.

    Of course Foster saves a penalty the week I make a goalie transfer to not play him

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      You did the right thing, that's just standard FPL shithousery

    2. Atimis
      • 7 Years

      My season in one sentence.

    3. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Same here. Silver lining is that Guaita got cs.

  11. El Matador
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Is a Vardy (c) brace possible?

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      No because I have him.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Impossible

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Haaaaaaaaa

    4. g40steve
      • 6 Years

      2nd half playa

    5. El Matador
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      My FPL season has gone down the pan since GW8

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

      Anything is possible

  12. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    On the topics of goalkeepers, I don't even mind if Steele somehow doesn't play next week (Scherpen?). He'll still outscore Sanchez this week.

  13. WVA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Leicester are utter garbage without Nacho, what is wrong with Rodgers, hasn't he learnt his lesson?

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

      I dont know what Nacho needs to do to be a starter

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      he's too scared of conceding

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      They were garbage with Nacho in the first half last week

    4. Flair
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      They were pretty garbage with Iheanacho first half vs Arsenal, so he was taken off and they looked much better after. I think Rodgers is playing based on that.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Probably a good time for Rodgers to walk out on them and join United.

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Not sure about that. Rodgers is having similar issues with his Leicester squad.

          Can't find the best formation to fit his players & defensively frailties.

          1. Andy_Social
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Good time for Rodgers, not United. Twitter told me earlier that United have given him assurances.

            Twitter, yeah.

          2. Old Man
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            We badly miss Fofana.

            1. WVA
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              Most people on here were saying he wasn't nailed at the start of the season, clueless!

  14. TKC07
    • 4 Years

    Salah hattrick loading?

    Last time Auba missed a Pen Salah scored hattrick..

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

      Yeah probably. I'm sure they're linked, I'll slip a bet on now

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

    I'd like Ndombele on at half time

    But I'm not sure Moura is the problem here

  16. Danstoke82
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Vardy has been utter garbage since I brought him in. Maybe time to part ways.

    Any decent strikers under his price tag going? Antonio too obvious?

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Antonio

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Toney before he rises out of sight!

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

          And for what? As it's nothing to do with him scoring goals 😀

      • Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Not much value in strikers atm. I'm holding for a few weeks and taking a chance on Ronaldo when his fixtures start turning.

      • _Ninja_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Wilson has good fixtures.

      • Pep's Money Laundry
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Antonio is a threat at the least otherwise a formation change is what I'm considering

      • RogDog_jimmy
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I’m likely going down to Broja and upgrading my 4.4 mid to Son (maybe).

        1. Danstoke82
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Antonio in my thinking problem is Leicester do have some good fixtures incoming. Vardy > Antonio then allows me Mbuemo > Raphinha etc.

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

        Slim pickings. Maybe Jimi?

        1. Danstoke82
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Not sold on Wolves at the moment if I’m honest

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years

            • 6 Years

            No chance he has NewC next.

          2. Random Name
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            need to get rid of toney really. Before the season people were hyping him up and i said he'd be lucky to get 10-13 goals. Now i'm starting to think even 10 is too much

          3. WVA
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            What has Wilson done

            1. squ1rrel
              • 9 Years

              What has Toney done

              1. Andy_Social
                • 11 Years
                2 years, 5 months ago

                Risen in price. I'd make 0.2 profit if I sold him now. And I would if he didn't have Toon next.

              2. WVA
                • 7 Years
                2 years, 5 months ago

                Exactly, pointless transfer to a more expensive player who's also doing nothing

        4. g40steve
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Just back from walking the dog, Vardy, Auba, Saka & Salah to play, thought 20 points easy??

          1. _Ninja_
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years

            You don’t want Lukaku tbh

            Lukaku was no better than vardy when I had him.

            They're all rubbish.

              That's wrong, Lukaku got 2 points a week not 1

                Fair

              Add Auba to that list too

          Laca's looking very lively lately. His contract running out?

          As it stands Cancelo outscores all 8 of my other played/playing players. Pathetic.

            Imagine that but not owning cancelo.

            14p isn't a low single player score

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

              It is for 8 players though.

          Demarai Gray seriously playing very well

            Shame he can’t stop blanking for FPL

            Don't say that, took him out for Trossard this week.

          Auba surely done on this level? Been an absolute nightmare owning him

          I can't remember ever owning Vardy and him returning attacking points... I remember him suddenly being injured 3 matches around Xmas time couple of seasons ago and him missing a penalty in a different match while I owned him. But don't have any good memories of him as an FPL manager.
