The penultimate match of Gameweek 12 is a north London derby, as Arsenal play host to Tottenham Hotspur.

Kick-off at the Emirates Stadium is at 16:30 GMT.

TEAM NEWS

Mikel Arteta has handed a first Premier League start to Piero Hincapie, who replaces the injured Gabriel Magalhaes.

Full-backs Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori are both fit to start, while Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli return as substitutes.

Viktor Gyokeres remains out, however, so Mikel Merino continues up front.

As for Spurs, Thomas Frank makes five changes from the 2-2 draw with Manchester United.

Kevin Danso, Destiny Udogie, Rodrigo Bentancur, Mohammed Kudus and Wilson Odobert come in for Pedro Porro, Pape Sarr, Brennan Johnson, Xavi Simons and Randal Kolo Muani.

The inclusion of Danso alongside Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven suggests that Frank will use a back three formation.

LINE-UPS

Arsenal XI: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Hincapie, Calafiori, Zubimendi, Eze, Rice, Saka, Trossard, Merino

Subs: Kepa, Mosquera, White, Martinelli, Norgaard, Madueke, Nwaneri, Lewis-Skelly, Dowman

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Vicario, Spence, Danso, Romero, van de Ven, Udogie, Palhinha, Bentancur, Kudus, Odobert, Richarlison

Subs: Kinsky, Simons, Tel, Gray, Bergvall, Johnson, Porro, Sarr, Kolo Muani

    Running out of patience with Saka now. 4 goals and no attacking contribution.

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      19 days, 18 hours ago

      he got 12 points last gw when rice and eze got nothing. still a very good pick

    2. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      19 days, 18 hours ago

      He's being doubled up by opponents defenders. Yeah, better options elsewhere.

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      19 days, 17 hours ago

      I mean if you have a spare FT I’d move him to Eze or Rice but that’s a luxury

  2. Brosstan

    23p with Mbeumo and Bruno to go. Another stellar game week in this luck based game

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      19 days, 18 hours ago

      Brutal. Tough to gain rank these days

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        19 days, 18 hours ago

        I was top 100k halfway through gw9. Everything gone wrong every gw since, closing in on 1m now

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          19 days, 18 hours ago

          I have been stuck at 600k for months. Impossible to find a differential. Everone fails.

    2. Tommy Template
      • 11 Years
      19 days, 18 hours ago

      What was it they said in the summer? More points more fun lol. You mean we would have had even less points without your defcons and fraudulent assists?

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      19 days, 18 hours ago

      That’s actually not bad at all this week! I’ve got well lucky, forgot deadline and was going to sell Munoz but now have 3FT and 35 ish points

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        19 days, 18 hours ago

        Not bad? You're having a laugh... it's a 17 points red arrow

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          19 days, 18 hours ago

          Not with Bruno and Mbeumo to go it isn’t, realistically that’s another 15-20 points minimum

          1. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            19 days, 18 hours ago

            That's not realistic at all... ill be happy with anything but more than ~12 points is highly unlikely

  3. Nomar

    Time to get rid. He’s not worth the money.

            19 days, 18 hours ago

            😆

            at least maybe that would mean he didnt miss another pen 😉

  5. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    19 days, 18 hours ago

    Minteh vs Rogers vs Rice?

    Best option?

    Rice keeps on ticking, Minteh is going to get points given he is playing well but is a poor finisher, Rogers you are not just sure with Villa.

    1. Tommy Template
      • 11 Years
      19 days, 18 hours ago

      Josh Cullen just probably beats all 3 of them. Must have pick

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        19 days, 18 hours ago

        Terrible pick who has massively overperformed.

  6. CoracAld2831
    • 4 Years
    19 days, 18 hours ago

    Captain fails for pretty much everyone then.

  7. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    19 days, 18 hours ago

    annoying spurs goal. could have been even worse for those that went vvd over timber and munoz for Gabriel

  8. NZREDS
    • 12 Years
    19 days, 18 hours ago

    Saka to eze to get funds for mbeumo could be the move

  9. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    19 days, 18 hours ago

    Everyone seems to be on FH but I'm not convinced by it. Feel set on Haaland TC

    1. CoracAld2831
      • 4 Years
      19 days, 18 hours ago

      What if you don't have TC anymore?

      1. jonnybhoy
        • 13 Years
        19 days, 18 hours ago

        FH

  10. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    19 days, 18 hours ago

    Was that really nad call to sell Eze after the last 3 Arsenal games? He wasn’t really showing any prospects of scoring…

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      19 days, 18 hours ago

      did you sell eze?

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        19 days, 18 hours ago

        He did

  11. Philosopher's Stones
    • 5 Years
    19 days, 18 hours ago

    3 certainties in life:

    Death, taxes, and pundit of punts coming up with a "score check" post every time he gets an okay score.

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      19 days, 18 hours ago

      Must be doing well every week if he is annoying you that much …

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      19 days, 18 hours ago

      Wrong - didn’t see anything last week 🙁

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        19 days, 17 hours ago

        Because he had a bad week.

  12. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    19 days, 18 hours ago

    For those who want to climb on the Eze bandwagon, Ode is back soon, Martinelli, Madueke are all back. Trossard is playing well. He will start 80% of the games, but expect early hooks every now and then. Saka still the most nailed starter.

    1. F4L
      • 10 Years
      19 days, 18 hours ago

      yeah agreed, you reckon its a bad week to bring saka in? looked great today but doubt arteta will attack too hard against chelsea away.

      1. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        19 days, 18 hours ago

        No, Saka will eventually be on the points, today is Eze's day, but Saka will start ticking soon. Madueke should give him a breather here and there though, so expect one odd game he is benched. Pens also important for him.

        1. F4L
          • 10 Years
          19 days, 18 hours ago

          cheers

    FH active threw this together in a few minutes
    Targeting bottom 4

    Martinez

    Virgil O’Reilly Cash VDB

    Salah Foden Rogers Gakpo

    Haaland Thiago

    Dub Wieffer Timber Kroupi Jr

    If not going to play Timber any better way to use the cash or other suggestions?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      19 days, 18 hours ago

      Virgil ??

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        19 days, 18 hours ago

        I am a Liverpool fan. They have a fixture to target can’t be bad for ever - at least I hope not.

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      19 days, 18 hours ago

      Don’t ignore form

      VVD Salah Foden Gakpo are a no from me.

      Munoz Minteh MGW Eze

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        19 days, 18 hours ago

        Fair point it’s the trap of a FH. The suggestions are for my actual team going forward but might mix up the FH a bit more. Thanks.

    3. Qaiss
      • 9 Years
      19 days, 18 hours ago

      Double Villa defence, Virgil, Brentford defenders

      If people actually pick a team like that I’ll be glad

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        19 days, 18 hours ago

        Back to the drawing board 🙂

  15. hans.hagel
    • 6 Years
    19 days, 18 hours ago

    I have already made two transfers for GW 13. Can I still play the Freehit? And if so, what happens to my two transfers?

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      19 days, 18 hours ago

      Yes. They transfers made already have no cost but they dont count as transfers for your team you will still revert to the team pre FH next week

      1. hans.hagel
        • 6 Years
        19 days, 17 hours ago

        Thx mate

    2. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      19 days, 18 hours ago

      Yes. Transfers are cancelled and your original team returns in gw14.

  18. F4L
    • 10 Years

  21. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    19 days, 18 hours ago

    Would you lose Salah for anyone? FH

    Kelleher
    Cash VDV Collins
    Salah Foden Rogers Doku
    Haaland Thiago Wilson

    Dubravka Buendia Muñoz Virgil

  23. CoracAld2831
    • 4 Years
    19 days, 17 hours ago

    Repost due to no responses:

    Sanchez (Dubravka)
    Richards-Senesi-Andersen (Rodon, Gudmundsson)
    Saka-Fernandes-Mbeumo-Minteh (Reijnders)
    Haaland - Mateta - Woltemade

    1 FT
    0,4 million in bank

    Options for this team?

    A: Free hit GW13
    B: Woltemade to Thiago and save FH
    C: Reijnders to Anderson and save FH
    D: Roll FT
    E: Other?

    Only have FH and BB left.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      19 days, 17 hours ago

      A

  24. Tommy Template
    • 11 Years
    19 days, 17 hours ago

    I don't have my FH, no idea what I did with it probably something awful. If I was playing in 13 I'd defo be going strong back 5 and giving the likes of Foden a miss. I've ended up playing a back 5 this week not by design and they've all returned something despite only getting a clean between them. Defenders are the way this season.

  25. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    19 days, 17 hours ago

    A - Wolte > Thiago
    B - Enzo > Rice (bench Semenyo)
    C - Roll

    Pope
    Timber - Virgil - Senesi
    Semenyo - Sarr - Gakpo - Mbeumo
    Haaland - Mateta - Wolte
