The Sunday 4.30pm GMT kick-off sees Tottenham Hotspur host champions Manchester City in north London.

The big Fantasy Premier League (FPL) news is that Kevin De Bruyne starts on the bench again for tactical reasons, having also missed the reverse fixture at the Etihad in Double Gameweek 20.

Aymeric Laporte and Ilkay Gundogan are substitutes, while John Stones is absent from the matchday squad through injury. City are also without Phil Foden again.

“He was there at the hotel. He felt unwell all night – really, really bad.” – Pep Guardiola on Phil Foden

Kyle Walker, Nathan Ake, Bernardo Silva and Julian Alvarez all come into the starting XI.

Spurs, meanwhile, are unchanged from Gameweek 21, with new signing Pedro Porro on the bench.

GAMEWEEK 22 LINE-UPS

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Romero, Dier, Davies, Royal, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Perisic, Kulusevski, Son, Kane

Subs: Porro, Skipp, Sanchez, Richarlison, Danjuma, Sessegnon, Forster, Lenglet, Bissouma

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Walker, Akanji, Ake, Lewis, Rodri, Mahrez, Bernardo, Alvarez, Grealish, Haaland

Subs: Perrone, Dias, Phillips, Gundogan, Laporte, De Bruyne, Ortega, Gomez, Palmer

    1. jacob1989

  12. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years

  13. Rainer
    • 9 Years

  14. DA Minnion (Former great)

    Perfect as a rashford captainer.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ma-hoosive swing. Although suspect most 'active' managers went for Rashford/Bruno?

  15. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Hauland most capped sweet

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Surely not

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

      Lol really? It's not Rashford?

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Overall has a lot of dead teams.

      2. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Casuals and dead teams

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

          This casuals thing is trotted out endlessly as just a lazy comment There is so much spoon feeding these days I doubt very much that there are many "casuals" anymore .

          1. GENERATION X
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            There are plenty that will have capped Haaland just for the casual reason that hes Haaland. Few might have forgot deadline.

    3. Bada Bing
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Probably half of those are dead teams already.

    4. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      4 points is not to be sniffed at.

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

    Never felt more like singing the blues

    When Yanited win and Arsenal and City and Leeds and Liverpool lose

  17. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Massive missed opportunity by Arsenal losing to an awful Everton. But no harm done.

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

      Awful? They played better than Arsenal.

      1. Saka White Rice
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        It's City who have missed the opportunity. Arsenal didn't know that City were gonna lose. City knew Arsenal lost hence City missed opportunity

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

        That’s why it was a missed opportunity! A stinker of a performance

  18. FantasyTony
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Imagine being Pep and losing to some guy

  19. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Pep's head will explode one day.

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

    Pep is not right. A crazy man. Also, 5 defeats away to Spurs and no goals scored 😆 😆

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      yeah sells Cancelo & puts some unknown Lewis there. Benches KDB. Keeps starting Grealish. Never plays Foden even if fit.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        But Foden was ill this week. So, so ill.

  21. Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Rashford TC ahead so far, halved my rank .... good week so far!

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

      OR?

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

    Never bench KDB

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Unless you play FPL

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Don't cap either.

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

    Ederson Ake Akanji Lewis Walker Grealish Mahrez wouldnt make Aresenal XI these days

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

    Quite enjoying the demise of Kep and Plopp. Forza Howe and ETH!

  25. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Kdb always been over rated just Lucky to have been at city so he can retire with a few trophies

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      That’s not fair. He has been the best / one of the best players in the league for several years. But looked off it this year

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

      STFU

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

      he always dominating chance creates table because whenever he got the ball he spams crossed into the box, his cross sucessful rate must be lowest

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Username checks out

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

      Wumming of the lowest possible quality

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

      Utter nonsense

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

      KDB overrated LOL

    7. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Why don't you just conserve your comments for Chess or Go sites? You obviously know more about them than football.

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

    I don't understand these "KDB is finished" and "KDB played so bad". He actually improved City when he came on

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      he did put some crosses. Overall the team was terrible for their standards

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Couldn’t get any worse

      But when you have seen kdb at his peak, this season he’s a shadow of himself.

  27. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Also interesting that Spurs played better without Conte

    1. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Was thinking about this. I wonder if the players don't like him or are scared of him.

  28. FPLCEO
    • 16 Years

    Tempted to captain an Arsenal player next week….

  29. bench boost for every gamew…
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    The best striker by a country mile scores yet again.
    Pep is annoyed not of the loss today but the loss of not buying Kane instead of that Lukakuesque bun man.

  30. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Fernandes' owners what your current plan?Sell him for Mahrez/Odegaard or keep him?

    1. Gunners in Haaland
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I am keeping now...

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

      Sit back and relax till pressers.

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

      Keeping now he is confirmed on pens

      1. jacob1989
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        he & Rashford rotate penalties I believe

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

      Keep. Already have triple Arsenal including Øde though
