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.

      1-3

    4. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

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

    5. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      2-1

    6. El Presidente

    8. Make United Great Again

      3-1 Arsenal

    9. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

    10. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Outstanding top post!

  2. JohnnyCroat
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 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, 6 months ago

    Do goals!

  4. Scalper
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Knew I should’ve played bueno over mitro.

    1. bombonera
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Why didn't you then?

    2. alsybach
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If you ‘knew’ why didn’t you?

    3. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

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

    4. Scalper
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Sarcasm was never my thing

      1. chocolove
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Not sarcasm its your idealism

    5. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I did

  5. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 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, 6 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
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 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, 6 months ago

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

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

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

    2. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 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
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    praying for a high scoring game

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      With optimal Odegaard and Gabriel involvement

  8. Hy liverpool
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 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, 6 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, 6 months ago

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

  9. GOTHAM City F.C.
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

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

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yup that's how I have setup my bus team

    3. putana
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      not expecting a clean sheet for either, but yes

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

      That's what I'm doing

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

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

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

      Both gonna concede so...

  10. cigan
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 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, 6 months ago

      Thank you

  11. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone have EO stats for:
    Arsenal defence
    Spurs defence

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

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

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Thank you

  12. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Here we go! Excited!!

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Kane too deep?

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

    Damn, Perisic benched is annoying

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

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

  14. alsybach
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 6 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, 6 months ago

      I sold him to Toney 😎

  16. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

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

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

      Lol, jinx

    2. AARON-1
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      go for Mitoma

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

          Gross = Tross

    2. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Are you sure about selling Mahrez before Wolves at home?

      1. banskt
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 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, 6 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, 6 months ago

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

  19. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Son unmasked

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A blockbuster

    2. Mirror Man
      3 years, 6 months ago

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

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

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

    3. tbos83
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'd go Wilson for time being

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

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

  21. GOTHAM City F.C.
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Kulu - Son to do something here

  22. it lies in the proles
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Kepa to DDG or Ederson for -4?

    1. Unliklinho
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Why?

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Plan to turn Kepa into Ederson for free in DGW23.

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

        Same here

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Makes no sense

    4. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Week too late if anything

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

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

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

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

  24. Hairy Potter
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 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, 6 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, 6 months ago

        you tell 'em Nate

      2. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Kepa too

  25. JBG
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Should've been 1-0 to Ars there.

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

      Lolris at it again

  26. Mirror Man
    3 years, 6 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, 6 months ago

      Only now?

      1. Mirror Man
        3 years, 6 months ago

        The bar was set extraordinarily high in fairness.

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 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, 6 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, 6 months ago

          off the ball incident

          serious stuff tho from the Bradford lad

    3. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Can you access the dark side ?

      1. Mirror Man
        3 years, 6 months ago

        For a fee, yes.

    4. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

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

      1. Mirror Man
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I don't even want to think about that.

  27. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Martinelli is on it today

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 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

  28. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    How did mitro miss his penalty? Did he sky it? It shows no penalty save

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Hit it off his own foot.

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He slipped & struck the ball twice

      1. jacob1989
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Oh my goodness!

    3. JBG
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

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

    4. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      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.

  29. jimbe4mXL
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

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

  30. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    How’s that Not a booking, stupid

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He tends to get away with breaking rules.
