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.

      Liverpool have Fulham next week. You don't get ride of Robbo and Salah.
      Wilson is scoring points.
      Maddison has Burnley so worth one more go.
      Doherty has attacking potential, but could potentially go given some of their tougher fixtures.

  8. Wild Rover

    Lino fail

    1. Fred54

      Thought he did alright v Liverpool.

    Wolves goal wrongly rauled offside

    1. gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Yep. Doherty assisting Jiminez as well which will hurt a lot of people

      1. Jack Frost
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Me. So this was an extraordinary bad call. But I guess no one wants accuracy on goals with VAR. Should be able to challenge one call per game, with a reset if the challenge is upheld. I see why people want flow to the game, but results will be unfair.

        1. Yank Revolution
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Thers already plenty of breaks to the flow. Var is the one thats worth it

      Only a shadow of his former self 🙁

      1. Davidinho

        Should have bit the bullet and got Kun back in.

    How's everyone doing today? Just Rich and Arnie with points for me so far.

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Got there inferior knock offs, Wilson and Siggy doing things for me.

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

        I sold Wilson for Arnie. Regret not finding another way to bring him in. Have a feeling Ill be buying him back shortly. I heard Siggy unlucky not to get a hatrick.

    2. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      A bit worse, Richarlison and Lacazette with points, no Spurs.

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

        Just came back from the Arsenal match. Happy not to get Salah and Robbo points and don't mind missing out on Laca's; was sweetly taken.

        1. Pierce34
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          I had Lacazette and Robertson so the goal didn't make any difference to my points. Did Lacazette look good overall? Stats suggest so.

    3. el polako
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Arnie(c) feeling great.

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

        Good work. Seriously considered and almost swapped armband while listening to breakfast club but was too scared of a kun haul.

        1. el polako
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Thanks.
          Dont own Kun so it was bit easier for me to make this call.
          Going to take a long walk without phone tomorrow whilst City is playing,

    4. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years

      Arnie only here.

      Salah 2, Robbo 2, Fraser 2, Doherty probably negative giving me 16 pre baps. pretty awful, but at least arnie delivered

      • 5 Years

      Why does the Premier League refuse to use VAR? You can't help suspect there is something fishy there.

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Mark hasn't ok'ed it yet.

      2. diesel001
        • 7 Years

        Is coming in from next season. PL has always been backwards in opting technology. Just like FIFA / UEFA.

        1. Jack Frost
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Well at least relief is soon.
          So this was an extraordinary bad call. But I guess no one wants accuracy on goals with VAR (yet). Should be able to challenge one call per game, with a reset if the challenge is upheld. I see why people want flow to the game, but results will be unfair.

          I';ll have to read up on the new implementation of VAR.

      3. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Owners didnt want it this year. Idiots.

    3. Meinhoff
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      VAR is really necessary, and especially in the PL where the referees are beyond awful

    4. SuperMane Returns
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Need this Spurs cleanie wiped out.

    10. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years

      Wow it wasn't even close to an offside, you have one job man and you fail so hard....

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Officials don’t have super slo-mo replays and pause. It’s easy to see why he gave it

        1. MTPockets
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Not really. He has one job

          • Meinhoff
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            No, he made a mistake. It's literally his only job

          • The Train Driver
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            If it was a close one, ok I get it, this wasn't even close, 2 spurs players ahead of him as well. Also, it's his only job...

      2. Crouching Tiger
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        If you transferred Arnie in for this week, damn you're lucky or good. I have been waiting for a haul for 3 weeks now, in which he scored a total of 2 points.

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

          Stats pointed to an Arnie haul to be honest.

          So wanted him, but had to give Mitro a final chance as alresdy on a -4.

          Arnie is safely in my team for next week...

          1. Crouching Tiger
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah true. His fixtures are very promising now...
