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.

    Firmino and King > Wilson and Arnie is possibly one of my better decisions.

    1. Typo
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, did you do it before this round?

      1. Jon Snow
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I did, King injured and too many weeks of Firmino doing nothing.

        Was sweating a bit when he almost got the assist for mane though

  2. Maddi Son
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    For those that were planning to do Mitrovic > Murray next week (I'm one of them) and you still doing it? I still think he's a decent punt with Brighton's next few fixtures.

    1. Typo
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Dont know about murray. Like wilson better

    2. Bird Raymond
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I'm torn between that or downgrading Mitro to Success/Kamara and upgrading a cheap Def and/or my 5th mid.

    3. The Special Wan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Thinking about it, but he was very poor today (Brighton in general).

    4. Drexl Spivey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Absolutely.

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I'm likely to do mitro to Murray.

        But if mitro scores tomo I may hold the transfer instead

        Murray worth a go for next 4 or 5 tho on paper

  3. davies
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Maddison > Martial is tempting...

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Utd away to city though.

    2. threeputt
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Martial will troll you if you do

    3. Lemongrab
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Don't do it this week with Burnely next for Maddison

  4. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    42 points with Kun(c),Laporte and Hazard to go any good? 🙁

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Depends how Alonso does

    2. JohnnyMagrinho
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Nah it's rubbish obviously. Not like you can see the average score at this point.

        I swear some people on this site are 13 year olds.

        1. Beatle
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Disappointing.

      • Nice to Finally Michu

        Garbage

      • diesel001

        Good. Well played.

      • _Ninja_
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        42 with Alonso, Mendy, Haz and Kun c here.

      • George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Not entirely unexpected type of post from you.

      • FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years

        U r back Chucky

    3. Typo
      • 12 Years

      Mitro -> Wilson is tempting tonight, to make the 0.1. got 2FT

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        i would

      2. barton fc
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        go for it

      3. Volley127
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Thinking the same.

        Weirdly also hve 2 FTs and 0.1 in the bank

    4. el polako
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Maddison owners(myself included) must be patient !!
      Trying to convince myself.

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

        Patience pays... look at Rich

      2. drughi
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        have to give him burnley game atleast before shipping

      3. Typo
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Was shipping, easy to hold when I see Burnley comes next

      4. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        If they didn’t have Burnley next I’d consider ditching. But he’s surely worth another shot against that horrific defence.

      5. Maddi Son
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Agreed. I can think of 4 clear goal scoring chances that he's assisted in the past few games. That's not his fault, just poor finishing.

        1. el polako
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Woodwork twice, superb save from Fabianski....
          Small margins in this game.

      6. _Ninja_
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        1 more game

      7. billysupertramp
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        im with you.

      8. The Special Wan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Four blanks in a row

      9. MTPockets
          7 years, 5 months ago

          One potential return in five is ok. Totally ok

        • BIGREDDOG
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I might get him in

        • Bird Raymond
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Four blanks in a row, but 4 good fixtures coming up. Tough call.

      10. Je suis le chat
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Suspect that with tonights draw, its a one horse race for the title. Hope Kun (c) tomorrow copper fastens it!

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

          You feeling okay? LFC are 1 point ahead

        2. el polako
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I really need Kun to stay quiet, but to be honest dont have much hope for it.
          The only thing that can save me is nice spread of returns among City mids.

        3. gergin
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Liverpool are not title contenders. Chelsea are.

          1. XabiAlonso
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Top of the league so not sure if serious

            1. gergin
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 5 months ago

              I forgot. they are title contenders for 30 years or so. Just unlucky.

      11. Bruce Lee
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Anyone watch the Cardiff v Leicester game?

        Any thoughts about Cardiff's attacking threat?

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Paterson and Murphy were decent

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

            Thanks, how decent are we talking?

      12. Nightf0x
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Maddison aguero to :
        A) salah wilson
        B) laca martial/gudmundson

        1. Typo
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          A

        2. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          A

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

          😆

      13. FFSbet.com
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Do we think Martial will double rise,already on 79.8 going up fast.

        1. Typo
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Yep, large support group

        2. gergin
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          before Man city away? Fools never end.

        3. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Hope so.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Swear people don’t even look at the next fixture

          Maddison is probably a better shout in terms of expected points

      14. unido
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        How come Pogba is only on 2 points when he assisted Rashford?

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Same reason Mane is

        2. Beatle
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Wasn't an assist

      15. King Kohli
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Plan before this week was to WC this team to fit in Mane. Not so sure now with Rich's brace.

        Patricio Hamer
        Alonso Robbo Mendy Doherty Tomkins
        Salah Hazard Richarlison Fraser Deulofeu
        Kun Mitrovic Quaner

        1 Ft 0.2 itb

        A. WC to get Mane, Arnie, Wilson, change Gks and fix the bench
        B. Kun + Fraser > Arnie + Mane (-4)

        1. Yome
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I am thinking to do B as well

      16. Random Name
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I only have one word to say.

        Lacazette.

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I count 8

        2. Bruce Lee
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Essential

        3. TAT
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Still don't own him! Don't know about Kun's fixtures after this, so might be worth the transfer to Laca. He's making life as an Arsenal fan better for sure! 😀

        4. Rage Against The Raheem
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Staying true to your user name and posting a random name. Nice.

      17. Bird Raymond
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Unlucky Mane owners not getting any attacking returns today. Salah looked woeful.

        1. Random Name
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Both were pocketed.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Mane was alright, better than the other two

        2. twoplustwo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Awful

        Arsenal back in TOP 4 club ?
        Spurs to make way ?
        Looks like it.

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Will be close

        2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Would be a brilliant season for Arsenal if that happens

      19. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Spurs shouldn't get used to playing at this time...

      20. twoplustwo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Will Shaq nail down a starting spot at this rate??

      21. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Damn... 19pts (5 played) at OR 3500 probably spells a sizeable red arrow today eh?

        Hope Wolves keep a CS, will soften the blow a bit.

        7 years, 5 months ago

        made My transfers already first time in a while have done this on gw day

        Lascelles > Chilwell

        Didn’t want to do this but Lascelles injury is concerning. Chilwell has been excellent last two gws

        Mitrovic > Arnautovic

        Was the planned transfer probably should have done it before this gw but the hud game for mitro blinded me

        1. rambo.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        Best replacement for Maddison ?

        I have Richarlison.

        Thanks guys.

        5. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Dembele down, not good for Spurs

        6. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Foyth starting for Spurs, did anyone see that coming? I thought Sanchez was decent. (in general, not from an FPL point of view)

          1. Ha.
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            2 games in 48 hours, just a rest

            • 8 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Nooo. He’s smiling at me from the middle of the bench saying “this is what you get!”

        8. Goat
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Any idea of average? 50 from 8 I think is decent compared to some of my mates scores

          1. diesel001
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Very good. Top 10k average after bonus and hits, but before autosubs is around 27pts. Wolves-Spurs not included in that total.

            1. Goat
              • 8 Years

            He’s not even first on my bench! Have him AFTER Duffy. What was I thinking?!

          Ok looks to me that Jesus starts tomorrow. With or without Kun what do you think?

          1. Yome

            Kun to be benched

            Sergio Aguero is ready to return for the visit of Southampton but could pairing him with Jesus be a perfect opportunity to get the younger man back in the goals?

          3. MTPockets
              7 years, 5 months ago

              As long as Aguero starts

            • Bruce Lee
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 5 months ago

              Nothing of substance

              Main point: Sergio Aguero is ready to return for the visit of Southampton but could pairing him with Jesus be a perfect opportunity to get the younger man back in the goals?

              And that was just a question

              Well if he does it would be with, according to the article. Also that is just speculation.

                This means goals no?

            Strangelt Hazard dropped from around -100% to around -60% from when I last looked on Price Change Predictor, safe from a fall tonight ?

                Yeah being bought now I guess

              This game is such a rollercoaster!

              Last week up from 100k OR to 30k. Now down to c. 60k on 19pts with only Kun (c), Haz, Alonso and Mendy to play.

              Have had Salah since GW1 and I’m a ‘Pool fan but my patience is wearing super thin! Currently Wilson holding my team top score of 7 lol

              Maybe next week will be the time to do Kun, Salah > Laca, ?

                Not with Salah playing Fulham and Aguero at home against a leaky Utd.

                  True. It’s the OR plummet talking lol. I’ll be sensible

                Crazy to get rid of Salah now!! I removed Salah from gw 5 to 8 and got him back in gw 9. Play the fixtures.

                  I won’t actually do it. It’s just what I feel like. He’s trolled me so hard

              Jimenez to Arnie a no brainer? Exact funds to do it now. Wanted to do it this gw but didn't want to take a hit. Should have taken a hit.
