Antonio Conte makes three changes to the Spurs side that beat Crystal Palace 4-0 in Gameweek 19, with Ryan Sessegnon, Pape Sarr and Dejan Kulusevski coming in for Ivan Perisic, Oliver Skipp and Bryan Gil, all of whom drop to the bench.

Richarlison, meanwhile, is also named among the substitutes after suffering an injury with Brazil during the World Cup, but Rodrigo Bentancur misses out.

As for Arsenal, they are unchanged, with Bukayo Saka shaking off the knock he sustained at Oxford in the FA Cup on Monday.

      Much like ManUtd v City yesterday I can't call it and can see 2-1 going either way

    10. The Knights Template

      Outstanding top post!

  2. JohnnyCroat
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Perišić my only skin in this game so likely 1 point late on. Roll on the second run of fixtures, in which I'll happily take 1 point from Martial just to have some return for the game.

  3. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Do goals!

  4. Scalper
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Knew I should’ve played bueno over mitro.

    1. bombonera
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Why didn't you then?

    2. alsybach
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      If you ‘knew’ why didn’t you?

    3. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Am sure a lot of Salah owners will be saying the same thing

    4. Scalper
      • 9 Years

      Sarcasm was never my thing

      1. chocolove
        • 15 Years

        Not sarcasm its your idealism

    5. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I did

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

    I need to move Cash or Patterson on, both injured (Cash out of favour too) while I'll have Dalot and White playing against each other next week if Dalot is fit. Should I just go with Schar despite the likely GW25 blank? Can't really see anyone else I fancy, Brighton perhaps but even with the fixtures I don't think they'll keep many clean sheets, yesterday was their first in quite a while

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Sell Cash, Patterson at 4.0m is easy to leave 3rd on bench. Yeah a 2nd Newcastle defender is high on my list.

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I think so. Hard to see anyone breaking their CS run in the next 3. Robbed of his BPS today & racking up the set piece goal attempts like no one else

  6. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Owning Kane for the first time this season ... let's see! 😛

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Owned him since GW1, you'll enjoy having him!

    2. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I have only owned Kane for one week, gw 1, a blank in a 4-1 win v Southampton.

      As an Arsenal fan, hope your experience is similarly dismal 🙂

  7. putana
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    praying for a high scoring game

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      With optimal Odegaard and Gabriel involvement

  8. Hy liverpool
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Very lucky and unlucky for schar , hit the post and was on 3 baps but that mitro penalty miss also feels lucky.

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      2 meslier wonder saves, joelinton open goal miss and post today

      fpl gods don't like schar that's for sure

    2. Mirror Man
        3 years, 2 months ago

        It's a funny old game this FPL malarkey. I'm having tremendous fun.

    3. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Surely you'd start Kepa Vs pool instead of Ward Vs Bha

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yes.

      2. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yup that's how I have setup my bus team

      3. putana
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        not expecting a clean sheet for either, but yes

      4. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        That's what I'm doing

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

        Yep
        Salah would probably miss a penalty in his form too!

      6. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Brighton are scoring for fun. No team has scored more goals since the new manager came in. I’ll be starting Kepa but don’t see a cs for either

      7. El Presidente
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Both gonna concede so...

    4. cigan
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      ofc Kepa gets a 10-pointer right after I sell him

      oh well at least I didn't play Ward

      1. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Thank you

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

      Anyone have EO stats for:
      Arsenal defence
      Spurs defence

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Arsenal 31%
        Spurs 14% (though 9% is Perisic)

        1. TheTinman
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Thank you

    6. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Here we go! Excited!!

      1. GOTHAM City F.C.
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Kane too deep?

    7. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Damn, Perisic benched is annoying

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Only went for Doherty because I couldn’t afford him!

    8. alsybach
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Oooooh just seen the score, mitro’s penalty miss is hilarious. Sat on my my bench and in the bench he will remain! Played Mitoma ahead of him, that’s why I’m so good at this game !

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I sold him to Toney 😎

      5. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        March or Mitoma plz? Both rising tonight and I have exact 5M

        1. DARE TO BISCAN
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Lol, jinx

        2. AARON-1
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          go for Mitoma

      6. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Probably doing Mahrez > Brighton mid:

        a) March
        b) Mitoma

        Reasons why would be appreciated. Especially from any Brighton fans/frequent watchers. Ta.

        1. Count of Monte Hristo
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          The underlying data supports Mitoma as the one to go for but I opted for March. He passes the eye test and players who look to be on a potential scoring run should not be overlooked. Both nice picks regardless.

          1. DARE TO BISCAN
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Nice. I know nothing about either of them. Assuming both are nailed. Gross still dead to De Zerbi?

            1. DARE TO BISCAN
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Gross = Tross

        2. banskt
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Are you sure about selling Mahrez before Wolves at home?

          1. banskt
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            To answer your actual question, I will biy Mitoma because of the numbers. I trust the numbers (except for Darwin).

          2. DARE TO BISCAN
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Will assess after the GW is completed. Not a fan of Pep roulette. Mahrez was a dice roll this GW. Happy with the rest of my mids. Almiron was another potential departure - think he's more reliable/cheaper with good fixtures also.

            Ultimately, the slot will become Ødegaard. For the DGW. Probably.

        So Trippier Max Bonus came through...amazing

        1. DARE TO BISCAN
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Think I'd have preferred Schär bonus & less for the Haaland of defenders

      8. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Son unmasked

        1. tiger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          A blockbuster

        2. Mirror Man
            3 years, 2 months ago

            It got snagged on the cold end of a jousting stick. Allegedly.

        3. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Any reason to go Isak over Wilson? Anytime I own Wilson he gets broken not long after.

          1. DARE TO BISCAN
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            I guess what you said is a reason. Of the two, I'd go for Wilson (assuming he's fit)

          2. Tonyawesome69
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Nope. Not enough info to show he is worth picking ahead of Wilson

          3. tbos83
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            I'd go Wilson for time being

          4. Ze_Austin
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Quite comfortable with "neither" for now:

            Toney, Mitro, Nketiah for me, for now

            After Haaland and Kane, of course

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

            Eddie has said they will take no risks with Isak so don't expect him to start anytime soon.

        4. GOTHAM City F.C.
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Kulu - Son to do something here

        5. it lies in the proles
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Kepa to DDG or Ederson for -4?

          1. Unliklinho
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Why?

          2. Rainer
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Plan to turn Kepa into Ederson for free in DGW23.

            1. Ze_Austin
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Same here

          3. Tonyawesome69
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Makes no sense

          4. x.jim.x
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Week too late if anything

          5. DARE TO BISCAN
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Doesn't seem like a good idea. Maybe for free GW23

        6. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Spurs fans, as usual, may have just waited for halftime to get to the stadium

        7. Hairy Potter
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Have Spurs not learned from the defeat they had against Newcastle earlier in the season? Playing out from the back against teams with a good high press is asking for trouble.

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

            Plus Lloris is one of the shakiest keepers around on and off the ball

            1. AC/DC AFC
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              you tell 'em Nate

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

              Kepa too

        8. JBG
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Should've been 1-0 to Ars there.

          1. Paqueta Rice
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Lolris at it again

        9. Mirror Man
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Gary Neville is reaching Lineker levels in terms of being a very annoying human.

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

              Only now?

              1. Mirror Man
                  3 years, 2 months ago

                  The bar was set extraordinarily high in fairness.

              2. The Mentaculus
                • 4 Years
                3 years, 2 months ago

                I'm cutting him some temporary slack since he crowned Gnonto a future GOAT the other day. It may not last

                1. Mirror Man
                    3 years, 2 months ago

                    The most talented young player since Mason Greenwood. Look what happened there.

                    1. AC/DC AFC
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 10 Years
                      3 years, 2 months ago

                      off the ball incident

                      serious stuff tho from the Bradford lad

                2. George Sillett
                  • 10 Years
                  3 years, 2 months ago

                  Can you access the dark side ?

                  1. Mirror Man
                      3 years, 2 months ago

                      For a fee, yes.

                  2. Zladan
                    • 8 Years
                    3 years, 2 months ago

                    GNev2 is one of the worst accounts on Twitter. That said, so is Lineker’s. Unbearable.

                    1. Mirror Man
                        3 years, 2 months ago

                        I don't even want to think about that.

                  3. Nate(U)dog(ie)

                    Martinelli is on it today

                    1. Tonyawesome69
                      • 7 Years
                      3 years, 2 months ago

                      There are folks out there looking to switch Martinelli to another Arsenal attacker. I don't see the need to waste a FT to do that

                  4. jacob1989
                    • 4 Years

                      He shoot it into his standing foot. Which is a foul penalty. So counts as a miss.

                      Miss hit with his right foot. Hit his supporting (left) foot and went in. Free to kick to Newcastle as the penalty taker isn't allowed to touch it a second time until another player has touched it.

                    My season is worst in years 🙁 Since i have Kane, Marti and Odegaard, expect a Kane pen miss and Saka haul.

                      He tends to get away with breaking rules.
