Igor Tudor gets to manage Tottenham Hotspur for the first time this afternoon.

Arsenal are the visitors to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where the action gets underway at 16:30 GMT.

TEAM NEWS

Mikel Arteta has made two changes to the Arsenal team that drew at Molineux on Wednesday.

Eberechi Eze and Leandro Trossard come in as Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli drop to the bench.

Bukayo Saka is consequently fit to start.

Martin Odegaard is named among the substitutes, but Kai Havertz misses out completely.

As for Spurs, Tudor has made two alterations to the starting XI they sent out in their last Premier League game.

    Which to prioritise this week?

    1. Enzo > Dango
    2. Bowen > Ekitike
    3. VdV > Hill

    1. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      1

  2. Zilla
    • 8 Years

    This is very pathetic from Spurs, how you gonna let your rivals win against you 4-1 home and away while they are pushing for the title and you are battling to stay out of relegation.

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Probably something to do with challenging for the title/relegation

      1. Zilla
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 22 days ago

        Football derbies aren't about who is better, it is about who wants it more.

    2. Ignasi M
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      to be fair to spurs, they have like 12 first team players injured and a new manager.

  3. Mom, Butters just gave me a…

    Saka smiling again.

    Well, I thought he got "injured"...

    They are all actors.

  4. Ignasi M
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Brighton away will be tough, harder than Chelsea at home. 10 games to go, mandem

  5. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    A braver man would have got Munoz in for Gabriel on WC

    1. Soopaboonch'o'lad…
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Henderson was the brave move

  6. Sailboats
    • 10 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Arsenal (61) has more than double the points of Spurs (29) lol.

  7. Gazzpfc
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Only two free transfers

    Who to get rid of the most

    1 Chalobah
    2 Timber
    3 Enzo
    4 Rice
    5 Pedro

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. Ignasi M
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      arsenal at home should keep a clean sheet

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        1 month, 22 days ago

        Maybe. Dilema is timber or Milenkovic to oreilly

  9. DagheMunegu
    • 5 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    A Wilson
    B Dango
    C Rayan

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Wilson is good from now till 31

  10. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Best defender under 4.6 keeping GW 31 in mind:

    A) Andersen
    B) Konsa

  11. adstomko
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Anybody actually believe saving transfers will benefit you for GW33/34, even if you've used wildcard and even bench boost?
    I don't see any stand out players in GW33 worth having even if they double, that you probably wouldn't have already.
    I know it's early days, especially with the FA Cup, but it seems to be overhyped & GW34 free-hit seems inevitable for everyone.

    • 13 Years

    Timber + Garner to VVD + Rayan? I have exact funds and VVD is set to rise tonight.

  13. Ignasi M
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Arsenal 2-0 Chelsea
    Brighton 2-1 Arsenal

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      If you jinxing keeps helping yhe team, carry on till 38

      1. Ignasi M
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 22 days ago

        I think this is why I'm doing it, subconsciously, but also based on experience as a long suffering gunner.

  14. FPL Brains
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Alisson
    VVD O'Reilly Hill
    Saka Fernandes (C) Mbeumo Semenyo Rayan
    Haaland Gyokores

    Darlow - João Pedro - Gabriel - 3.8

    1) Right captain?
    2) Right bench?

    1. Sir Michael Taker
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      I'm a bit confused by the Gabriel and JP benching. Could understand one or the other but if Chelsea are scoring JP is the most likely by some margin

      1. FPL Brains
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        1 month, 22 days ago

        Could start Gab over Rayan in fairness.

    2. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Just go for Haaland as city have to push hard for the league and will be fired up after failing to score vs Newcastle. Your team is fire mate.

      1. FPL Brains
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Yeah, like it

  15. F4L
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    oh wirtz had a back problem and should be alright for next gw, couldnt he just have played the played through the pain

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Back injuries normally are very 50/50. There is always a chance he is ok for next gw or he is out for 2/3 weeks

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        1 month, 22 days ago

        I am not too bothered he doesn’t play then Wilson first bench should do ok against these Spurs lads.

      2. F4L
        • 11 Years
        1 month, 22 days ago

        fingers crossed its the former

  16. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Sarr Potts to Dango HWilson? Or just WC...?

    Raya/Dub
    Gab/Timber/VVD/Dorgu*/Heaven*
    BrunoF/Wirtz/Enzo/Sarr/Potts*
    Haaland/Ekitike/Pedro

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Many FT’s? I’d WC that being honest. Wirtz potentially injured too

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 month, 22 days ago

        Just read above Wirtz is fine but still would probably WC unless you have 3 fts

      2. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        1 month, 22 days ago

        2FTs

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Good enough don’t WC. You have a few transfers before 31 too

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        1 month, 22 days ago

        Hate my def tbh

  17. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Most boring question ever but why was 3.8m Gudmundsson subbed on 45mins vs Villa yesterday?

  18. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    I have Munoz, Enzo, Sanchez(GK) and Pedro.

    3 FT.

    Whome you prioritizing to go first?

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years

      Chelsea

      1. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        1 month, 22 days ago

        Who out of the 3? Dont want to use all the transfers. I want to keep Pedro but fixtures arent great + I dont have Thiago

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          1 month, 22 days ago

          Enzo
          Pedro

    2. jonnybhoy

    This is a joke of a season. I sold gykoeres and stach who got a combined 24pts for semenyo and thiago for a hit who get a massive 2 pts combined afrer -4!
    Was rank 32k in gw14, now an embarassing 340k!
    Laughable season

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      You can turn it around. Relax and make good patient transfers.

    2. Admiral Benson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Feel your pain. I’ve drop from 140k to 500k in 8 weeks. Bad luck levels out usually though.

  20. ShaunGoater123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Was planning enzo > Wirtz however with the potential injury do you think I should:
    A) wait till Friday / news and take the 0.1 drop
    B) move enzo for someone else, dango probably
    C) roll the transfer and play Kroupi

    Current set up
    Sanchez
    Virgil / Gabriel / Munoz
    Enzo / rice / Fernandes / Roger’s / semenyo
    Haaland / Thiago

    Dubravka / Kroupi / hill / mukiele

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      A

  21. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Whos the best defender til GW32?

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      VVD possibly

    2. Admiral Benson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Virgil

  22. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Rayan or Dango?

  23. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Was contemplating upgrading DCL > Ekitike once I have the funds but he isn’t worth it is he? Seems wasteful and rarely returns.

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      I’ve gone off Bowen > Ekitike

    2. Sir Michael Taker
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Brace vs Newcastle his only goals in last 10

  24. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Roefs
    Gabriel Timber O'Reilly Munoz
    Bruno Rice Rogers Wilson
    Haaland Ekitike

    4.0 Enzo Guiu 4.0

    A. Munoz/Timber > VVD
    B. Guiu + Rice > Thiago + KDH
    C. Roll

    1. Admiral Benson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      A with Timber

  25. Punned It
    • 1 Year
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Every single transfer I do. Every single one. The one I ship out hauls, the one I get blanks. Gyökeres > Thiago this week.

    Keane > VVD just has to break the curse. Or will he suddenly come off the bench for a ten minute brace, while VVD gets OG and RC?

  26. Slitherene
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    James, Palmer, JP -> Virgil, Semenyo, Ekitike

    For a hit?

    1. Admiral Benson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Not for a hit

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Nah, just James to Virgil

  27. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Alderete is probably the only player in the game whose floor and ceiling are the same. 1 point merchant.

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      He got 2 points last week

      1. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        1 month, 22 days ago

        Proved me wrong. What a winner!

  28. Henning
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Have used my wildcard but gor 5 ft anysuggestions

    Chalobah and Timber to Hill and Vvd?

    Sanchez Dubravka
    Gabriel Chalobah Munoz Mukiele Timber
    Rice Fernandes Rogers Enzo Dewsbury-Hall
    Haaland Evanilson Thiago

    1. Admiral Benson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Yup, good moves

  29. Admiral Benson
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    When does Haaland get his bonus point? Will it get added tonight or end of game week?

  30. tucaoneo
    • 7 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Need Bruno goal but also Bruno letting someone else take ManU penalty and Pickford saving said penalty
