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.

    Jonny off at HT.

    Will Arnautovic rise tonight?

    Have Mitro at £6.8m selling price, and £0.2m in the bank...

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Looks pretty unlikely

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

      81.4% at the moment. Close, but I would say no.

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

        Things hop around quite a bit lately to a popular player, so be watchful...

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

          Yeah that was my thinking too. I might just make it to be safe, as have no safety net if he does

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

      Potentially, but probably not. I think you're safe to make that move before Mitrovic plays though.

      I am am probably making the same move before Monday.

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

        Yep, think the Mitro to Arnie move is a no brainer. Regret not making it a week earlier, but might still get something out of Mitro this week.

    4. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Hel rise tonight

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

      I am in same position and getting move made tonight. We have seen unexpected price falls and rises so best to just get it done

  3. Bialystrzelec
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Maddison to:

    A. Felipe Anderson
    B. Diangana (bench fodder)
    C. Billing (bench fodder)

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

      I like Martial around that price bracket if you can stretch to it

      1. Bialystrzelec
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I can't

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

      keep for next wk

      1. Bialystrzelec
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        No way. Waiting left me without Arnautovic

    3. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      B and C are pointless unless you have 2 frees

      1. Bialystrzelec
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I have and I want to fund Arnautovic move. I'm £0.1 short atm

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

      Keep if that’s the options

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

      Im thinking about doing the same transfer..

      A

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

    Trippier to Mendy transferers who's with me

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Trippier one of the most consistent players in the game.

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      They actually have pretty similar underlying attacking stats. I want to have both.

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

      Here. Didnt want to, as I like Tripps, but....Mendys soooo attacking.

  5. gaurava1216
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Please help guys... stuck here

    2 FT and 0.2 ITB ( so 200k short to get Arnie in for Mitro)
    Any suggestions on how to free up 200k?
    Thinking Downgrade Doherty or Fraser

    Patricio Hennessy
    Mendy Alonso VVD Doherty WB
    Hazard Salah Richarylson Fraser Ward
    Mitro Kun Wilson

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

      What currency are you using? 🙂
      You are going to need some TV to afford that

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      That tough not many you want to lose I presume.
      Which Ward is in your mid. Could they go to absolute fodder for the funds

      1. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Ward dropped to 4.4 so can't get a mid at 4.2
        Thinking 2 options- dropping fraser to 5.6m to less to fund Arnie in OR doherty out to 4.5M

        Not a bad idea to maybe do Diagana for fraser who is 4.5 and the upgrade week after Ward?

    3. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Fraser to Camarasa?

  6. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Get salah, transfer out whom:
    A) maddison
    B) richarlison

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Selling Richarlison? 😆

  7. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Arnie was ok after 90 minutes?
    Just want to confirm he is close to 80% for a rise, not going to risk the price rise going to move now.

    1. MTPockets
        5 years, 6 months ago

        He was fine

        1. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. Hooky
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Terrible first touch from Kane. Dropping deep all the time as well

    3. Bruce Lee
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Doherty is my favourite winger and Kane is my favourite box to box midfielder

      1. Make Arrows Green Again

        Lol 🙂

    4. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years

      That denied Doherty assist feels bad mayne.

      1. Bruce Lee
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Feels bad Mane

    5. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      VAR NOW

      SICK OF THIS

      YES I'M ANGRY

      1. MTPockets
          5 years, 6 months ago

          No point being angry, but yeah I've changed my mind on var.
          Think playing fpl is involved in that.

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

          VAR is needed. This is stupid. La Liga is using it already and it works.

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

        Any chance of a Trippier OG? Kthxbai

      3. Rust Cohle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Typical Mike Dean reffed match. Embarrassment.

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

          How he’s permitted to ref Spurs matches is remarkable

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

            Yeah wasn't he born in the centre circle at Highbury? Disgrace.

      4. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        5 at the back time? Seams to me like the Vidic, Laursen, Lescott, Rio, Terry season

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

          Maddison > Trippier

          1. FPL Daniel
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Eh..?

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

              Downgrade 4th mid

              1. FPL Daniel
                • 14 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                Yes I am pro that move

            2. Albrightondknight
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              I think it's implied we know they are different positions and another move is required 🙂

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

        Martial form is insane. 5 goals 1 assist in 4 weeks. Really fancy getting him and/or Rich in (only one of for now though) for DSilva next week...

        Shame that they'll likely rise given their fixtures next week. Do we reckon they could still deliver?

        1. MTPockets
            5 years, 6 months ago

            not particularly vs mci/che

        2. Cuchu
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Should I do Vardy-->Arnautovic?

          This would allow me to do Wan-Bissaka/Bennett-->Mendy

          1. Royal5
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Sounds good

          • 10 Years

          Ronka did Trippier > Balbuena and captained Salah. Very un ronka-esque. But at least it was to fund Ings > Arnie.

          1. FPL Daniel

              • 10 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              He’s 4K rank, having a better start than most seasons ...

            2. Podge

              • 9 Years

              he also captained Hazard gw8 when a lot of us went a different direction. he made a jump into the top 10k that week, then 5k the following. sounds like he's doing fine.

        5. Fantastisk

          Salah -> Moura for a -4?

          1. FPL Daniel
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

          2. Royal5
            • 12 Years

            Not for a hit.

          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Which combo is better?

          1. Wilson + Bennett

          2. Doherty + Jimenez

          1. GoonSquad

            1. FPL Daniel
              • 14 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Wilson and Doherty

          2. Rt505
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Wilson and Bennett. Jiménez doesn’t look like he will score too many this season

        8. Danstoke82
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Is TAA a worthwhile downgrade on Robertson? I need to get a LIV defender back in but the latter is so expensive and not willing to drop alonso or mendy for him

          1. FPL Daniel
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            It might be. The opinion here is inconclusive

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

            VVD due a goal...

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

            TAA owner here and I wish I owned Robertson. But I cannot afford it...

            1. Danstoke82
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              It’s annoying as I’m 0.1 short of doing the following moves;

              Mitrovic + Laporte (own Mendy) > Arnautovic + Robertson -4

              I could always do Perrerya > Barkley -8 which would fund it?

              Yay or Nay?

          4. Rt505
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            I think so if you have decent cover on the bench. I’m hoping he plays in the easy games and Gomez will cover the hard games. I don’t mind TAA being dropped for tough fixtures as I might bench him anyway

          5. SEXY SALAH
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            I think so. I'm more than happy to have Doherty/Kenedy/Success to deputise when he is rotated

          6. SEXY SALAH
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            I think all of the defense is prone to rotation except VVD, just last week Robbo was benched and TAA played. He was just unfortunate Cardiff scored.

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

          Lets hope Wolves score to get rid of that CS

            • 14 Years

          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?

              Maddison owner here and he's going down tonight. Great fixtures coming up but has lost his form. Will give one more week and then swap for.. maybe Martial.
