Reunion for Spurs’ attacking trio as Chelsea visit Wembley

Harry Kane (£12.3m) is set to play with both Christian Eriksen (£9.2m) and Dele Alli (£8.9m) in the Spurs’ starting line-up for the first time since Gameweek 4.

The talismanic striker has been considered out of sorts this season but that particular statistic just goes to prove how long it has been since Spurs’ attack has been at its best.

However, Mauricio Pochettino probably would have preferred a different fixture to get the trio back together as they face a Chelsea side still in good form.

Maurizio Sarri has named an unchanged side for Gameweek 13 with Mateo Kovacic (£5.9m) coming through an injury doubt to start ahead of Ross Barkley (£5.9m) for a second Premier League match in a row.

Eden Hazard (£11.2m) will be looking to punish those that triggered a price-fall on Friday night as he and fellow wide-man Willian (£7.4m) go up against Serge Aurier (£5.8m). The Ivory Coast international is making his first league start since Gameweek 1 after Kieran Trippier (£6.2m) was ruled out with injury.

Juan Foyth (£5.0m) also starts a third match in a row at centre-back.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR XI: Lloris, Aurier, Foyth, Alderweireld, Davies, Sissoko, Dier, Eriksen, Son, Alli, Kane

CHELSEA XI: Kepa; Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Luiz, Alonso; Kovacic, Kante, Jorginho; Willian, Morata, Hazard

    what a horrible decision to stick with hazard despite his earlier injury inbstead of getting sterling

    hazard 9 points in last 5 gws (played 4)
    sterling 43 points in last 4 gws

    but how to get rid of hazard before fulham at home?

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

      45 points with bonus today

      1. panda07

        • 11 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Way to hit a man when he's down

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Next Hazard 20 pointer and Sterling benched. 😉

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

        No hauls for Hazard if Morata and Willian keep starting 🙂

        1. ZeBestee
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Giroud start next. Expect a haul.

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

            Straight into my team if that happens but highly unlikely that Sarri will start Giroud.

    3. All de Gea no iDier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldn't get rid of Hazard just yet unless he's injured again.

      On 59 plus 5 BPS and Jimenez to play. Just gutted that I didn't follow my instincts and captain Sterling

  2. Skid Vicious
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    I kinda feel nostalgic for that yesterdays triple up of alli, eriksen and kane

  3. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Has the Sane train begun

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Delayed due to a high speed Sterling.

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Sane terrifick. 9.2 still a bit expensive. Monitor CL midweek, if rested then bring in.

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Terrific*

      2. The Hobbit
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        If he keeps his form he's not expensive even at 10.5. And with Mendy out he will play the majority of games in December.

  4. SEXY SON
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Yes Kane winning goal BAPs

    1. Samwise the Brave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Don't think it matters he's 4bps behind azip from what I can see. Hope I'm wrong as I'd love the bap

      1. SEXY SON
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah I think Azpil must be due some minus BAPs given 3 goals conceded

  5. child of God
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Barkley should always start as he helps the team alot going forwards, if only we can get icardi and lose morata

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Lol doubt Icardi leaves Inter any time soon.

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

      Or atleast start Giroud ahead of Morata time being.

  6. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    projected OR with 820 pts?

    1. Epic Fail

      There's a live projection site someone will have.

        That's the one.

        1. FER FUSCH AKE
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          sliding down 12k places out of top 20K.

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

    Who do you see playing more - Sane or Sterling?

    The 2m difference is pushing me to Sane tbh

    1. SEXY SON
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Sane whilst Mendy is out

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      B

    3. Jonny Sutt
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Sane will play more with Mendy out but I think Sterling is more consistently explosive

  8. Jonny Sutt
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    How long is darmain a starter for?

  9. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Arnautovic has been such a disappointing purchase for me given the hype that surrounded him.

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

      Obvious bench candidate today. If you're disappointed after he blanks against city you need to adjust your expectations.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        I did bench him today but I bought him for the United game when I heard McTominay was starting at cb, I was certain he'd score in that. I didn't expect him to blank v all 3 of Brighton, Leicester & Huddersfield.

        1. TerryVenables
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          He didn’t play against Leicester

          1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            That was a last minute thing

  10. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Bring on the Bournemouth lads to save my week!

  11. Sotamendi84

    Why is madisson not red flagged?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Hasn't been flagged yet.

    2. The Hobbit
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He misses the cup game, will play next PL fixture - no flag needed

    3. Samwise the Brave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I believe he serves his ban in the league cup

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

    Bringing in Barkley was a mistake but i'm guessing he has a good chance of starting vs Fulham?

  13. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    If you were looking to move to 352, who would your forwards be??

    Kun / kane

    Jimenez - and then fodder like success??

    Thanks

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Kun Jiminez fodder. Kane is too unreliable for a 12.3m player.

    2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Kamara and the two 'vic's

  14. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    anyone worse than 25 from 7?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yes.

    2. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      23 from 8 - had a run of 7 green arrows so have to be philosophical about it

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

      50 from 9 here.

  15. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    come on bournemouth and wolves save my gw

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

    Overall beats top 10k average. 42.6 v 41.3. Very unusual.

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

      It's because the cheaper, 2nd choice players outscored the highly owned players this week: TAA more than Robbo, Mane more than Salah, Sterling & Sane more than Kun etc.

  17. Sedemuda
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Thing is with all the Sterling transfers is he'll probably play mid week & be rested at the weekend.

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

      Strong possibility

    benched hennesey and robbo
    yeah, making it worse

  20. Giles G
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Who is the better pick, David Silva or Sane?

    1. J T
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I prefer Sane but higher risk I think

    2. Skid Vicious
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I think D Silva is more consistent while Sane could have a higher ceiling.

    3. Bagpuss
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Having same dilemma atm. Agree with Skid but still not sure which way to go tbb

    4. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      edging sane i think

  21. Jonny Sutt
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Is this WC madness?

    Ryan Hamer
    TAA Digne Darmain Zabaleta Bennett
    Salah Hazard Sane Sterling Camarasara
    Kane Vokes Kamara

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Looks ok

      1. Jonny Sutt
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Is Darmain a decent shout or will he be out again soon?

    2. Skid Vicious
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Zabaleta, I'm not a fan I reckon he's well over his use by date.
      Maybe downgrade somewhere and get Jimenez instead of vokes
      I kinda like it, I have seen some decent 4 5 1 teams lately.

  22. J T
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Hazard Martial Richarlison Alonso Aguero all so disappointing!

    How many players to go? Just Doherty & Bennet for me.

    WanB 9 pointer firmly benched again.

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

      He got no bonus in the end so just 6.

      1. J T
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Oh ok fair enough I hadn’t actually checked just saw comments here 😀

    2. Skid Vicious
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Mehhh I have them all!
      TAA saved my bacon.

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

      Wilson Bennet left.. WanB deep in line for subs.

  23. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Do you guys reckon Sterling rises tonight?

    1. J T
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      After that Hazard performance, good possibility

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      What percent is he on?

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        87.7, three big arrows as well although it is right after a game

      2. J T
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        88% and moving

  24. El Lobito 10

    Mocked on here for saying to captain Mitrovic. 2 goals and 3 bps. Always listen to your own counsel.

    1. Farke in hell
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      we're really sorry for that mate.

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      But if you captained Mitrovic you wouldn't have captained Sterling.

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

        Captain Sterling. VC Mitro. Change of heart last minute. Still mocked lol

  28. Rashers

    Salah and Richa to Sane and Sterling before I wildcard?

    I think City will destroy Bournemouth
