Trippier starts but key Spurs men remain out of first XI

Kieran Trippier (£6.3m) is set for a tenth consecutive league start as Tottenham Hotspur visit Wolves this evening.

The right-back has been considered a rotation risk in the past but he has been ever-present since returning from the World Cup with Serge Aurier (£5.8m) largely consigned to the bench.

However, a large number of key Spurs men remain out of the first XI with Christian Eriksen (£9.2m) and Son Heung-min (£8.3m) on the bench for a third match in a row.

Dele Alli (£8.9m) is left out of the match day squad altogether, despite a comeback from injury in the League Cup midweek.

Juan Foyth, not in FPL yet, starts at centre-back with Davinson Sánchez (£5.8m) on the bench.

Meanwhile, hosts Wolves make one change to the side that lost at Brighton in Gameweek 10, with Adama Traore (£5.4m) dropping out for Ivan Cavaleiro (£5.3m).

Wolves XI: Patricio; Boly, Coady, Bennett; Jonny, Moutinho, Neves, Doherty; Caveleiro, Jimenez, Costa

Spurs XI: Lloris, Trippier, Alderweireld, Foyth, Davies, Sissoko, Dembele, Winks, Lamela, Lucas, Kane.

    bottomed

    Pickford - Hennesey
    Alonso - Robertson - WanBisakka - Yedlin - Doherty
    Richarlison - Hazard - Salah - Fraser - Masuaku
    Agüero - Mitrovic - Wilson

    I am 0.2 short for Mitro to Arnie. What would be the best downgrade?

    Thanks!!

    1. Top Lad Dakes.

      fraser downgrade

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years

      1. beetlejuice

        5 years, 6 months ago

        yeah im leaning towards pickfords as well.. who to get instead?
        thanks

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years

      Jimenez

      1. beetlejuice
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        arnie much better imo

    4. GoonSquad
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Salah to Mane. Next week Doherty to Mendy.

      1. beetlejuice
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Salah to Mane is tempting all the time but dont have the balls yet

    5. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Pickford to Fab

      1. beetlejuice
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I did not see the Burnley game but conceding 2 from them..you reckon west ham defense are solid or just because of save points?

    6. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Lose one of the GK for a cheaper alternative...or the Fraser drop

      1. beetlejuice
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Oh Henessey should be Stekelenburg. Don't know why I put Henessey there, sorry.

  2. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Wow... 20pts from 5 will be a sizeable red arrow from OR 3500 🙁

    Hopefully Haz Alonso Mendy DSilva Kun(C) make up for it tomorrow, eh

    1. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Hope so bro

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Most of the Top 10k own those. You need Aguero(c) and Dilva to go big.

    3. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I think a lot will ride on Silva. The others will for the most part be duplicated in everyone elses teams.

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I know

  3. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Maddison dropping...

    I made the mistake of dropping Richarlison this week in a shake up...shall I bring him straight back for formless Maddison?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Next week

      Rich 2
      Maddison 13

      1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I can see that too...toen

    2. Andy Mac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Exactly the same for me! 50-50 last week on which to drop, obviously kept Maddie and shipped Rich and got punished.

      I’m sacking them both off and getting Mahrez!!

  4. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Done TAA to Doherty

    1. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Looks to good to turn down

    2. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      What, for Arsenal away?

      1. Differentiator
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Could've got a good score against Spurs, TAA price dropping tonight, and quite frankly not even certain TAA will play the next game

        1. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          He was poor tonight. I may ship out as well but kind of annoying before Fulham at home.

          1. Differentiator
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            If Lovren is back, I think he gets dropped. LFC fans scathing of his performance

            1. El Lobito 10
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              TAA is the at home go to RB. Kicking him out for someone away to Arsenal is a strange one.

  5. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    https://twitter.com/stehoare/status/1058829317197742080 another english mediocre.

  6. R.C
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Jimenez to Success was a successful fail ughhhhh

  7. Football Heaven
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    What a WC! SOrry to boast but jimenez, richarlison and pereira out! Get in there

  8. Jon Snow
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Traore is built like a unit, way too bulky for a footballer imo. He also seemed to single handedly ruin Wolves' chance of equalising

    1. Andy Mac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Agreed. Too selfish and didn’t keep possession or ball in play. Bit of a one trick pony

  9. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    these jimenez points on the bench killed so who to bench next GW
    A : Jimenez
    B : Richarlison

    1. jam
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Jimz!

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        another 10 + points incoming

  10. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Ahhh gotta love hindsight. my drunken self decided to go Schmeical to Fab instead of vardy to Arni yday... could be on 37 points rn

  11. Viper
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    34 with Hazard, Alonso, Ederson, Aguero (c) & Mitrovic to go.

    Hopefully hold on for a green again. Mendy the worry

    1. tsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Good score!!

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah pretty happy. I toyed with the idea of Richarlison - > Sigurdsson so that wouldn't have been nice!

    2. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      49 but had Salah C.. Aguero Mendy Alonso Haz to go

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Lovely

  12. Tickle Me Enzo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Any info whether Lovren picked up an injury or further details of his absence?

    1. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Injury because his body couldn't support the weight of his surprisingly big head

  13. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    31 from 4 looked so good... and now 34 from 6 looks so meh. (Not a subtle brag)

  14. The Senate
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Undoubtedly getting a major red arrow this week. Any thoughts on this sorry lot? (0FT 0.7ITB)

    Ryan
    Robertson - Chilwell - Trippier
    Salah(C) - Maddison - Fraser - Martial
    Vardy - Kane - Murray

    1. The Senate
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Bench
      Foster - Camarasa - Doherty - AWB

  15. MattysFantasyFooty
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    So what’s looking like a good score this week so far and does anyone know what the averages are or what they were before that spurs game?

    1. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      40 points with half your team to go.

    2. MTPockets
        5 years, 6 months ago

        avg 25, top 10k 29

      • Lanley Staurel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I’ve 44 from 8 with only Alonso, Haz and Mahrez to play. Green arrow from 1m to 700k. So maybe over 35 is OK?

      • MattysFantasyFooty
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Sound cheers all

      • Viper
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Average is 29.6 in top 10k and 25.6 overall.

        Average of 6.5 players played

        1. CRO KLOPP
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          28.6 top 10 k
          25.1 overall

    3. R.C
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Pick 1

      1. Brooks

      2. Deulofeu

      1. MTPockets
          5 years, 6 months ago

          2 (owner so biased)

      2. Sebastes
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Can do Maddison -> Mané for free but need to do it today. Thoughts?

        1. Ha.
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Do it

          1. jam
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Yep

          2. Sebastes
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Cheers! Seems like a no brainer but the early transfer is annoying

      3. Halftime
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Jimenez only coming off my bench if Hazard doesn't play which seems unlikely.

        1. Niho992
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          i need to sterling doesnt play, and he is my C.

      4. beetlejuice
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Ryan or Fabianski?
        Thanks.

      5. noonan357
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Have maddison and vardy .... Which would you remove to get Arnie?
        Vardy out is free. Madd out is - 4?

        1. Ha.
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Vardy

        2. MTPockets
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Vardy b/c free

        3. TAT
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Ederson
          Alonso - Robertson - Doherty - Mendy
          Hazard - Salah - Richarlison - Fraser
          Agüero - Mitrovic
          (Hamer - Camarasa - Kamara - AWB)

          Mitro to Wilson/Arnie looks the obvious move for next week. Anything else worth a hit? £0.5 before the Mitro transfer.

          1. Ha.
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Just Arnie

            1. TAT
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Might just do that one transfer. Downgrading Kun/Salah looks tempting going forward.

        4. Shatner's Bassoon
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Any BPS heroes out there know whether it’s likely Lacazette keeps his 2 or falls off the tightrope?

        5. Niho992
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Maddy owners what will you do ? hold or sell

          1. Warby84
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Burnley next keep

          2. Ha.
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Might sell for Salah

          3. Viper
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Don't know why they wouldn't keep to be honest

          4. Bobby Digital
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Selling. For Anderson or Barkley or another.. any ideas?

            1. fantasywizard
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              I'm struggling with that as well... if I sell...for who? That's why, and also for his fixtures, I'm inclined to keep him for next week.

              1. Niho992
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                i will keep probably

        6. fantasywizard
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Anybody holding Maddison for the next week game? Or are you selling before the price drop tonight? If so, for who? Thanks!

          1. Viper
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            I'd definitely keep if I had him

            1. MTPockets
                5 years, 6 months ago

                I wouldn't

                1. fantasywizard
                  • 11 Years
                  5 years, 6 months ago

                  Why not given the fixtures?

                  1. MTPockets
                      5 years, 6 months ago

                      Because 4 blanks = cut the cord for me

                2. Bobby Digital
                  • 6 Years
                  5 years, 6 months ago

                  Gonna bank the 0.2 in profit.. might come handy later on.

                  1. fantasywizard
                    • 11 Years
                    5 years, 6 months ago

                    Who will be your replacement?

                    1. Bobby Digital
                      • 6 Years
                      5 years, 6 months ago

                      Barkley or Anderson.. I'd like to see some heat maps and compare them

              • Champione
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                Maddison > Anderson is tempting, isn't it? Considering that move

                1. FPL Blow-In
                  • 11 Years
                  5 years, 6 months ago

                  So knee jerky it’s not even funny. Anderson has been hot and cold whenever I’ve watched him. Last few weeks he has been terrible.

                  1. Champione
                    • 8 Years
                    5 years, 6 months ago

                    Those fixtures are pretty funny though. Was considering Snodgrass but Felipe in this form may be an option

                    1. FPL Blow-In
                      • 11 Years
                      5 years, 6 months ago

                      Burnley are terrible. The logical choice in my eyes is to hold Maddison next gw.

                      On Anderson, my mates and I commented on him when they faced united. He was brilliant and I added him to my watch list. Been so so bad on they eye test anytime I’ve seen him since. I don’t know what the stats will say though.

                      1. Champione
                        • 8 Years
                        5 years, 6 months ago

                        Thanks for the feedback! Will check stats and highlights before making a decision. My move this week will probably be Mitro out

              • FPL Blow-In
                • 11 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                Holding

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              So glad my 50-50 paid off of dropping Rich and keeping Maddie! Fml 🙁

              1. Shatner's Bassoon
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                  Cheers Graham. Seems to be a regular thing these past few weeks. Another red arrow this week I imagine.....oh well....hope yours was better?!

              Which one of the following downgrades would you do to afford Mitro -> Arnie

              A) Maddison - Richarlison
              B) Doherty -> Dunk
              C) Other, what?

              Patricio
              Robertson, Alonso, Mendy
              Salah, Hazard, Maddison, Murphy
              Aguero, Mitrovic, Wilson

              subs: Button --- Doherty, Hojbjerg, Wan-Bissaka --- 1 FT, 0.1 ITB

              5 years, 6 months ago

              Foster/Hart
              Alonso/Laporte/Trips/Doherty/AWB
              Hazard/Salah/KDB/Fraser/Camarasa
              Lacazette/Wilson/Quaner

              1FT 0.4ITB

              My gambe with KDB has completely back fired.

              Should I save the FT and do KDB + Quaner -> Maddison + Arnie?

              Any other moves? thanks
