Fantasy Football returns with a bang as we are thrust into the cauldron of a north London derby.

Arsenal face Spurs at the Emirates Stadium, in a match which is dominated by the visitors when it comes to Fantasy interest.

Harry Kane is undoubtedly the main the focus. Backed by an army of two million owners, Kane contested the Gameweek 11 captaincy with Manchester United’s Romelu Lukaku.

He faces the Gunners having scored in each of his five derby appearances against them so far, converting a penalty in both matches last season. Kane has also claimed six of his eight goals on his travels this season.

Elsewhere in the Spurs camp, Chrisitan Eriksen and Dele Alli will bid to revive their Fantasy stock after sustained heavy sales leading into today’s deadline.

The pair have suffered from the soaring form from Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and Manchester City’s midfield contingent. But Eriksen, in particular, takes outstanding form into today’s clash having single-handedly carried Denmark to victory over the Republic of Ireland in their midweek World Cup play-off victory.

For Arsenal, today’s encounter represents a scouting mission, as we assess the merits of Sead Kolasinac, Alexis Sanchez, Alexandre Lacazette and Aaron Ramsey as potential targets for the festive period.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    So that's Kun midweek, then Jesus next week again, poor Kun 🙁

      that's the worry, Vardy party now

      Jesus loves playing away from home!

        Yep, the pattern is he plays every away match...there is some method to Pep's mad picking system.

    I'm going to go and buy food, when I get back I expect Kane to be on at least a brace.

    Kane (C) sigh, at least we won 🙂

    Gonna get punished by doing Jesus to Lukaku now 🙁

      captaining players against your own team .don't know how people do it! the line has to be drawn somewhere. ive one rule and thats it

      1. TallestJohn
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I used to avoid Spurs players entirely. Van der Vaart was the one who broke the trend, downhill from there

    1. Hotdogs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He’s on my bench (first slot) 🙁

  4. XabiAlonso
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Which Spurs troll to go first
    Alli to sane or Kane to lukaku

  5. The Overthinker

    If you won't captain a 12.8 player, why even own it 😉

    1. Meinhoff
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Because you can captain him in another game

      1. Deano
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        CL?

  6. F4L
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I think today shows that Pep doesn't want to play Jesus out wide anymore. Both Sterling and Sane 'should' be guaranteed to start 2 out of every 3, that's good enough for me

  7. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I think Aguero would have been benched today regardless of what happened in midweek

    You know the rotation risks involved with owning him so you can't really grumble

    1. Deano
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      You seriously think what happened midweek had no consequence to the benching? Delusional.

      1. Get up ya bum
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        DELUSIONAL I TELL YOU RAAAA

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        You are going to look such a tool if he comes on

        1. Deano
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Doesn’t change my argument, the comment was “regardless of what happened midweek.”

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Of course it does. Your argument is that he hasn’t started because of the midweek ‘faint’. Will he miraculously no longer be at risk an hour after kick off?

            1. Deano
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              My comment was challenging his argument that the midweek issue had no consequence to his benching - “rotation” was the reason he used.

      3. @persecuted_by_mods
          8 years, 1 month ago

          That's not what he said pal

        • Hedge
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          He wouldn't be on the bench if he wasn't able to play. Stop throwing around insults at people who don't agree with you're view

          1. Deano
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Nice bandwagon - no insults, purely stating an opinion upon another’s judgement.

    2. AttackAttackAttack
      • 9 Years

      How many points would you sacrifice for an undo (k)ane chip. Out of orincipalnid say at least 10!

    3. boc610
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Kanes third 1 pointer of the season, his 7th blank in 12

      now imagine that was lukaku...

      1. XabiAlonso
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        He could be worse. Could have 8 cap blanks out of 12

      2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah but Trollkaku flows so well. How do you do the same with "Kane"?

        1. d3bug
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Trolly Kane

        2. The Overthinker

          Pain

      3. The Overthinker

        This ..
        He would have been slaughtered

      4. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years

        Kane is so overrated. In comparison to what RvP and Suarez were, he's rubbish.

        1. vinniebolton
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Don’t talk nonsense...I ain’t a spurs fan or a Kane capper... he is class

        2. Ramboros
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Just ignore that RvP only passed the 20 mark twice in his career.

          1. vinniebolton
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            That guy obs don’t watch much football... Kane leading scorer in prem the last 2 seasons

            1. vinniebolton
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              At a team that ain’t the best

          2. Cok3y5murf
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            It's not only about goals. He single-handedly won United the title and carried Arsenal the season before.

      Man that Aguero benching hurted so much. Looking forward to transfer him after Huddersfield

      Pochettino

      "Kane and Alli were ok to play, we took them off as we don't want to take a risk. 75 mins is enough for them".

      On Danny Rose "He has been out 10 months, he was given a little rest".

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        He got very defensive once Rose was mentioned, somethings up!

        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I would have thought the 10 months off would have been enough rest. Any other manager would be trying to get him minutes to gain match fitness not take them away lol

    7. Ode
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I need Leicester to be winning 2-0 at halftime then Agüero on for a hatty

    8. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Poch said Alli & Kane were fit. Didn't want to risk them last 15' when game was gone.

    9. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Alonso Azpi double on soon, hypee

    10. el polako
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Captianing Kane starts to show all symptoms of "alcoholics wife syndrome".
      I really dont know what to do now.

    11. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years

      Who is the first priority to ship out next week:
      A. Kun --> Lukaku
      B. Eriksen --> Sane
      C. Both for -4
      Thanks.

      1. Kermit Special
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Get rid of Eriksen. Kun could haul v Hudds. However monitor the minutes first, before transferring.

        1. Positive vibes
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Yes I will, thanks OMDZ

      2. Ronnie Hotdog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        B

      3. Live Lad
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        B for sure. C if Kun plays 90 minutes midweek.

    12. Garfield1001

      Picked Fosu-Mensah on wildcard 🙁

      Kane(c) WBA at Home - it’ll end in tears, right?

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Probably. I’m still going to captain him.

      2. Kermit Special
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Kane Hat trick to punish sellers.

        1. el polako
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Shit like that made me keep him all season.
          Time to show some balls and get rid of this overhyped player.

      3. Chris_H
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Was it last season he scored a hat-trick against them at home?

    14. Deano
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Kane the new flat track bully!

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Who did he bully?

        1. Grounderz
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Kane owners.

    15. Kermit Special
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      What's more humorous, the reaction of a Kane haul or a Kane Blank?

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Kane blank when Bemba captains him is always good viewing!

        1. Kermit Special
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          hahhaha agree, very hilarious.

          This.

      2. CloudSky
        • 9 Years

        Blank, obviously.

    16. Galza

      I really hope Callum Wilson does well today.
      I really need a player in that 3rd striker spot I can rely on.
      Come on Callum...! 🙂

        2 goals enough for you? 😆
        Well done!

          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers G.
          Having one of those weeks.
          Got rid of Sanchez though and brought Mane in instead of Salah but shouldn’t really complain...

          1. G-Whizz

            • 8 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Nah I ain't complaining... Got Aguero, had the Captaincy on Azpilicueta all week and then last minute switched to Salah. Morata scores, Cork I decided to give a break from off the bench and bang. Kola CS can this week get any better? 😆

            1. Galza
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Very nice mate.
              I did a -8.
              Sanchez, Firmino and Okazaki >
              Mane, Morata (c) and Wilson.
              Really wish I’d gone Salah.
              Kicking myself...!!

                8 years, 1 month ago

                Wow! That would have been incredible!!! Still a great result for you, all I need now is a Lukaku blank and I'll soar into the top 100k from nearly 600k :O

                  Would love to see that too.
                  Oh yeah, I still have Hazard.. 🙂

                      Certainly is...
                      Doesn’t happen enough though..

      Kun and C-Moting => Niasse and Alexis after Huddersfield game for FT. Too nervous to own Kun.

      1. Galza
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Just stay away from City strikers.
        Only way I’ll get one is if one of them picks up a long term injury..

    19. Bluth Banana

      How was Alexis' performance today, apart from the goal?

    20. Aftermath
      • 10 Years

      Christensen at 5.4, Mustafi at 5.3. Hmm..

    21. TOBY1
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      TO those who think it’s time to lose Kane -

      Are you going 3 big ones up top still or going 442?

      If 3 premium strikers who?

      Currently have Kane & Morata & Jesus. I’m considering Lukaku ...
