In this week’s challenge, players involved in London derbies get double points.

Two of those teams - Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur - are yet to play.

That means you can still pack your FPL Challenge XI with players from those sides, provided you select them before their DGW35 fixtures kick off this weekend.

Once a player's team have started their first match of the Gameweek, they will be locked from any changes in or out of your line-up. The final deadline is at 14:00 BST on Sunday.

Here, FPL expert Neale Rigg highlights the players and matches to target in the remaining fixtures.

Sunday

14:00 BST Fantasy Challenge deadline
AFC Bournemouth v Brighton
Spurs v Arsenal
Nott’m Forest v Man City
Chelsea v Spurs

FPL Challenge managers can see the teamsheets from AFC Bournemouth v Brighton & Hove Albion and the north London derby before the final deadline passes on Sunday.

A start for Richarlison (£6.8m), for example, would make him an interesting prospect: he delivered nine goals in 10 starts before injury disrupted his season in Gameweek 25.

In the red corner, Bukayo Saka (£9.0m) will be renewing acquaintances with a Spurs defence he scored 13 points against in the autumn.

Leandro Trossard (£6.5m) is also an intriguing pick. The Belgian winger, who has started the last three league matches, has the best minutes-per-goal average of all Arsenal players this season.

Trossard has found the net once every 134.9 minutes.

Son Heung-min (£9.9m), Pedro Porro (£5.8m), Kai Havertz (£7.4m) and Ben White (£6.0m) made our chosen XI, which you can read about here.

On the south coast, Bournemouth are facing a Brighton side that have scored only four goals in their last eight matches.

Cherries defender Adam Smith (£4.4m), who has created seven chances across his last five starts, could prosper at both ends of the pitch.

Manchester City players are riskier picks this week as we won’t get to see Pep Guardiola’s line-up.

Phil Foden (£8.3m), who has delivered five goals and 36 points in his last two starts, might be worth taking a chance on, though.
