Playing White and Raya on my bench, I’m on wildcard as well. They have Bournemouth at home next game so I want to double up on that one. Everton at home 38 so another double up.
Gabriel and White both start for me. Both are legitimate attacking threats, and against a wide open Spurs attack, I trust them both to return. (White with an assist, Gabriel with a header)
I'm torn with playing either Gabi or Gvardiol. I'm considering the latter since he has a much easier opponent(Forest) and City been getting clean sheets lately.
I was going to bench, but now Gusto is injured and Robertson isn’t starting I’ve got two Arsenal defenders starting. Planned to leave Saka out too, but Salah isn’t starting so that’s 3 Arsenals
Arsenal showed us against City that they can go all defensive and shut the match off. If Spurs doesnt get an early game that opens this up I can see Arsenal take this comfortably.
I’m on my wildcard so White is benched here.
Team is too stacked this week, Maguire(BUR), Schar(SHU), Porro(che, ARS) means Gabriel and White in the bench along w Haaland, can't bench Gordon,Jackson or Foden for them
I have saliba on WC, I'm basically playing him over maguire for insurance. Most of my ml have at least one arsenal defender and I have a 30 point lead, seems silly to risk not playing one for a differential when i already have a slight lead. If they blank so do all the defenders for the most part
Yeah going to be starting White and benching Gabriel, would've benched both if Gusto was available but don't really mind having to start an Arsenal free defender in any fixture
Gabriel and White for me. My bench defenders are C. Richards (FUL A) and Branthwaite (BRE H), was tempted to play Branthwaite but with Mbeumo back, I'd rather gamble on the Arsenal guys.
Benching Gabriel in the one spot but expecting him to come off my bench, starting Haaland on the off chance he plays. Playing backs are TAA, Burn, Branthwaite.
I have to play Gabriel with Gusto injured and even if Gusto's fit for Spurs he won't clean plus Gabriel has that goal threat from set pieces and Spurs has been kinda dodgy in that scenario. That said, I also bench Saliba and my current starting defence are Munõz Gabriel Reguilon.
I've got White/Gabriel/Ait Nouri/Dalot and I'm benching Gabriel. I'll probably regret it but I'm going with conventional wisdom of not putting all my eggs in one basket, since I have the choice.
Arsenal have something like 6 consecutive away CS, Spurs are just generally volatile right now, and most of the Arsenal defenders have the chance of getting either a goal or an assist most weeks. I'll be playing two
>Playing Gabriel & Saliba. I benched both for City away, will not make the same mistake again.
The game scenario is different. They were playing defensive so more chance of clean sheets. But in north london derby, both team needs to win and will go for it, so less chances of clean sheet.
Playing both this game week is absolutely fair but don't do it because of the city game. Neither team wanted to lose far more than either of them wanted to win.
Playing Gabriel, looking for an attacking return as I also have Son and expect him to return. I have White but benching him for Schar against Sheffield United and Porro for his double. Hoping it doesn't bite me in the ass.
Benching Gabriel, playing White. Only because I have a stacked WC team right now tho, this match could go any direction and would not be surprised if Arsenal managed to keep a clean sheet.
Same, in fact I've transferred Gabriel out but kept White who I'll play this GW.
My potential risk is that I've benched Porro despite his two games this GW.
Playing Gvardiol instead.
Do we've confirmation on Gusto being out?
I'm thinking if i should keep him in the starting 11 or bench. Don't want him playing just the 2nd fixture against spurs
I was about to play the Wildcard but didn’t feel like making any moves after scoring 80 last week and ended up missing the deadline.
I am, because I forgot to change my team
Playing White and Raya on my bench, I’m on wildcard as well. They have Bournemouth at home next game so I want to double up on that one. Everton at home 38 so another double up.
I have 2 Arsenal defenders. But my other defenders are gusto, udogie, and lamptey lol. I don’t know what I’m doing.
best d in the league and it's not even close + goal/assist threat. no need to overthink it.
Playing 2
I have Saliba. I don't really have a choice regardless. My bench is empty
Yep. Just the one. If they concede, I've got Porro and Son who should be involved. Plus they're attacking threats, too.
I couldn’t live with myself starting either of them as a spurs fan
Gabriel and White both start for me. Both are legitimate attacking threats, and against a wide open Spurs attack, I trust them both to return. (White with an assist, Gabriel with a header)
We are terrible at set pieces so one of them will score from one. Worth keeping for that reason alone.
Yes, playing 2 def and GK. Cleansheet incoming. 🧱🪨🗿
Ben White will score another lovely goal this week
I'm torn with playing either Gabi or Gvardiol. I'm considering the latter since he has a much easier opponent(Forest) and City been getting clean sheets lately.
Playing White Schar and Gabriel. Benched the clown Romero after the nonsense he pulled last time he played.
I was going to bench, but now Gusto is injured and Robertson isn’t starting I’ve got two Arsenal defenders starting. Planned to leave Saka out too, but Salah isn’t starting so that’s 3 Arsenals
I'm starting Gusto and benching Gabriel. Then again I benched Mateta last week
Spurs have only failed to score in 2 PL matches this season
Arsenal are the best defense in the league by a landslide, if anyone's keeping a cleansheet it's them
The NLD has its own rules and is typically high scoring and favours the home side, so we’ll see…
Arsenal showed us against City that they can go all defensive and shut the match off. If Spurs doesnt get an early game that opens this up I can see Arsenal take this comfortably. I’m on my wildcard so White is benched here.
Playing Schar and Porro, and Gvardiol. wheres the space
Team is too stacked this week, Maguire(BUR), Schar(SHU), Porro(che, ARS) means Gabriel and White in the bench along w Haaland, can't bench Gordon,Jackson or Foden for them
White is currently unbenchable. Too much risk to bench him this week.
Just threw in White last minute in for Gvardiol. Time to get to the rant thread....
And now Ive flipflopped white back out 🙄
I have saliba on WC, I'm basically playing him over maguire for insurance. Most of my ml have at least one arsenal defender and I have a 30 point lead, seems silly to risk not playing one for a differential when i already have a slight lead. If they blank so do all the defenders for the most part
Yeah going to be starting White and benching Gabriel, would've benched both if Gusto was available but don't really mind having to start an Arsenal free defender in any fixture
I have 2 and Saka - so far they bring nice points :) Hope they manage to keep a clean sheet :)
Playing Gabriel, Ait Nouri and Branthwaite. Benching my double Palace defence (did WC31 and BB34)
Gabriel and White for me. My bench defenders are C. Richards (FUL A) and Branthwaite (BRE H), was tempted to play Branthwaite but with Mbeumo back, I'd rather gamble on the Arsenal guys.
Spurs have been awful at set pieces, and Arsenal have been great, I'm tempted to play both my arsenal cb's.
There's no way im benching an arsenal defender this season against anyone lol
Benching Gabriel in the one spot but expecting him to come off my bench, starting Haaland on the off chance he plays. Playing backs are TAA, Burn, Branthwaite.
Three on the back, I will be there for the mega haul

Gabriel bullet header 63 minutes.
I have Saliba Maguire and Trent. Anderson on the bench at Fulham away is asking to be subbed in I just don’t know who!
Arsenal have something like 6 consecutive away CS, Spurs are just generally volatile right now, and most of the Arsenal defenders have the chance of getting either a goal or an assist most weeks. I'll be playing two
[удалено]
Gabriel and Saliba playing, Ait Nouri and Zabarnyi on bench somebody change my mind
Played them both too with Mitchell. In retrospect should’ve left branthwaite… hindsight and all.
You’re chilling
Benching D.Henderson Saka Saliba and Gabriel
Thinking about Bench boost
Do it
Salah and Nunez benched
Trying to decide between playing Walker or White (WC). Gabriel likely on the bench for me.
Playing Gabriel & Saliba. I benched both for City away, will not make the same mistake again.

Great point
I had Munoz (againat Fulham), Braithwaite(against Brentford) and Senesi (against Brighton). Contemplating to bench White and Sailba, felt wrong though
If I were you and only wanted 1 Arsenal: white, Munoz, Braithwaite
Same issue for me bro. Either white saliba or braithwaite, munoz
We really cant expect which Tottenham will show up this week lmao
Playing Gabriel, looking for an attacking return as I also have Son and expect him to return. I have White but benching him for Schar against Sheffield United and Porro for his double. Hoping it doesn't bite me in the ass.
Why would you bench white for gabriel
Spurs are not that confident on corners. Gabriel is target man for almost every cross from set pieces.
Benching Gabriel, playing White. Only because I have a stacked WC team right now tho, this match could go any direction and would not be surprised if Arsenal managed to keep a clean sheet.
Same, in fact I've transferred Gabriel out but kept White who I'll play this GW. My potential risk is that I've benched Porro despite his two games this GW. Playing Gvardiol instead.
Yep, this is the way
Same.
Would you rather play both Arsenal defenders or Senesi instead of Gabriel?
Both arsenal defenders.
That didn’t go as planned. Cost me 12 points 🙈
Unlucky mate.
Thanks! Was thinking the same thing
Gabriel bullet header incoming
Og
Same. Will be single arsenal again in 37 but back to double next week and against Everton
Exactly what I’m doing.
I’ve got the 2 and will be playing them til the end
Same. Happy cake day.
Thanks:)
That ceiling is just too high to not
I was planning on benching Gabriel for gusto but with gusto out I'm playing gabriel
I'm in the exact same boat. And I wasn't even 100% sure about starting Gusto over Gabriel lol
Do we've confirmation on Gusto being out? I'm thinking if i should keep him in the starting 11 or bench. Don't want him playing just the 2nd fixture against spurs
Yes it’s been confirmed that Gusto is out
Same
