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.

    Didn’t see the second half of the Liverpool game, is the Mane cross/assist causing any controversy? Any chance he’s awarded it?

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

      No

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

      Not controversial if you read the rules. Clearly no assist.

    3. Podge
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      None

    4. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      No, just 5-6 consecutive pages here talking exclusively about it 😀

    5. MTPockets
        5 years, 5 months ago

        No. fpl rules are just a bit stupid in practice

        Cool, thanks guys, just seen the description on the sky sports live feed

      Doherty was denied a legit assist wasn't he ?

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

        yes

      2. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Yep

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

        Yep

        Justice for Mane owners

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

          Yeah. How?

        2. FPL.team
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          I own Mane and Jimenez...

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

            No you DON'T. It's not possible that you could. Try to keep up...

            1. FPL.team
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 5 months ago

              I don't understand what this means...

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

                Oh... Just commenting on Ha's post that one failed assist is justice for another. As if owning over player excludes ownership of another

    7. Chucky

      Do I sell Salah to fund arnie? I have jiminez and no other route in. Might get sterling

      1. Ha.
        • 8 Years

        Is this a sick joke?

        1. Chenku╰☆╮
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

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

            Salah is captain obvious next week

      2. Chucky
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        sell one of your defenders.

        1. Chenku╰☆╮
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Good call Chucky might do it.. Robbo might to make way.

      3. My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Before Fulham? Please do

      4. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        There HAS to be another way. Think outside the box.

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

          Like Kane

        2. Chenku╰☆╮
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          I was actually.. before Fulham like that kane Vs Cardiff. 😉

    10. Crouching Tiger
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Are the Liverpool game baps final? Milner, Laca, Holding?

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Holding getting 2

    11. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Jimenez isn't a good finisher. Gets in good positions, but can't put it away

      1. Drexl Spivey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Urgh...

    12. Jones Kusi
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Patricio (4.0)

      Mendy Robertson Alonso (Doherty AWB)

      Salah Maddison Fraser Hazard Billing

      Aguero Murray (Jimenez)

      2 FT, 0.3 ITB

      Any tips for upcoming gw? I'm starting to lose faith in my team as I have 11 points right now and my ML leader is toping the league every single gw.

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

      Wolves are going to score

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

        Here’s hoping

      2. One More Hit
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Yes they are

    14. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      This place is so funny. When a few of the popular picks are involved in dodgy decisions VAR is suddenly essential. Not mentioned when popular picks get the rub of the green.

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

        Sounds like you've manufactured that scenario in your head

    15. AC Me Rollin
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Maddison to Rich or Anderson or keep

      1. mdm
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Rich

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

        Wait until Lamela gets a hatrick and then knee jerk him in

    16. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      How do Spurs still have a clean sheet...

      Lucky Trippier owners.

      1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
        • 12 Years

        Trippier owners would be lucky if he elbowed someone in the chops and got away with it.

    17. sminkypinky

      So is there an exact date when Kane became cr@p at football?

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years

        Who nose?

        It’s just mind boggling. He was actually one of the better strikers in the world for a moment. Now he shouldnt be in the premier league.

      Fab
      Yedlin Mendy Laporte Duffy

      3. SuperMane Returns
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        Best No 10 on the pitch

    24. Soapy
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Best mid for 5m or less? Murphy, Kenedy, Hughes, Lennon? Leaning towards Ken. Will be on the bench most weeks, maybe rotate with Fraser for Pool and City

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Debating this myself, currently own Kenedy but thinking Newcastle just don't carry enough goal threat.

        I'm thinking of jumping on Hughes instead

        1. Soapy
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Don't know enough about Watford but I've heard fans think Hughes should make way for Deeneys return with Deulofeu taking Hughes spot.
