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

    No Spurs players so it is all up to Alonso and Hazard...bring me the points!

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

      In the same boat, want a draw tho (for football reasons) I’d take a 0-0 for both Arsenal’s & my FPL teams benefit

      1. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I wouldn't mind it finishing a draw either to be honest...

    2. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years

      In the same boat. Good luck to us.

    3. GoonSquad
      • 15 Years

      prefer 1-0 Hazard goal, Alonso assist.

  2. BRKFCTrueRover
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Well David silva was a good transfer but desperate to get sterling in somehow!

  3. One for All
    • 7 Years

    Terrible Man Utd did any1 see the game?

    Considering taking out Martial

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Tons of really good chances. Martial could've scored a couple. Hennessey was annoying.

      1. One for All
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        cool

  4. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Of the three most captained players two blanked and the other got one goal with no bonus points.

    The week's standout performer was only owned by about 15% of the top 10k.

    A bad captain choice or not owning Sterling shouldn't be the end of the world this week. A bit of perspective lads. 🙂

      Deep breath reach the zen place and keep the knees in check.

    1. Srv210
      • 8 Years

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

      Not sure I will take kun out at home vs crap team.Salah to sterling nailed on

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      You know Kun can easily get a hattrick.

    4. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Salah > Sterling on its own is a better move this week.

    5. Srv210
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks guys ..Salah to sterling it is this week then

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

    If mitro can brace surely Kane can vs Southampton

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

      Definitely coming in to my squad then with the armband, WC for GW15

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yep think I’m going to stick with salah and Aguero until I do the Kane sterling switch. In the meantime Fraser & Robbo to taa & sterling

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

        Gonna do salah+ rich to sane + sterling this week.Have wc in hand.Been too safe and it has hurt.Merseyside derby looks nailed on to be lowscoring

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

    Alonso, my life is in your hands.

  8. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    More Wembley magic please, Marcos 🙂

  9. J T
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Is Sané Kun & Sterling to much?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Too much what?

      1. J T
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Attacking positions occupied by one single team

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          If you don't like points, yeah.

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

      Gonna get all 3 next week and then ship kun to Kane.There will be an odd benching but their explosiveness can be matched by none

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

      I'm considering it.. either Silva or sané

      1. J T
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        While Mendy is out Sané looks so good

    4. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Long term, yes. Not next week though.

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

        This .Need points

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

      Honestly those three could be worth it. City just about blowing easy opponents and still beating tough teams by a 1-0 scoreline.

    6. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Kun to Kane maybe?

    7. GoonSquad
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Way too many points, don't do it.

  10. Superflymonk
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Happy days for my team!

  11. Ser Davos
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Digne over Trent purely due the potential of being able to own Mane, Salah, Robertson simultaneously.

    And no Laporte to give scope to owning Aguero, Sterling and Silva or Sane simultaneously.

    Just using FFS as a Harry Potter like pensieve.

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

    I captained Laporte. Did anyone else?

  13. Superflymonk
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Th only regret I had over my wildcard was gettng duffy over trent as i thought trent wasn't nailed on. The difference in pts is staggering.

    1. Ser Davos
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah, it's them fine margins that make this game difficult to persist with at times.

      But it is our struggle to bear.

  14. SADIO SANÉ
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    my team has never been 'bad enough' to wildcard but not good enough to actually get me a high score 😀

    can't believe I finally decided to copy people with the Martial/Rich picks and then they blank in decent home games 🙂 standard

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      feels like... ignore bandwagon - goes wrong, get on it - goes wrong. Hopefully Haz can do some damage

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

      Oh God that first sentence is me to a t. Really want to wildcard now but would only be changing 4 (!) players...

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        it's not a complete knee-jerk, because I wanted Sane as soon as Mendy got injured again, but I do really want Sterling and Sane - big changes needed to get both in

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

          I just might. I knew that Sané would be tasty and nearly got him in - would have been a hit for one of Siggy or Mané, though, so not much made or lost. May go for a triple city midfield to try climb the rankings a bit...

          1. SADIO SANÉ
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Still think I'll keep it for Arse/Spurs players, but that's probably a mistake. I'd already made my FT so Sane was a -8 away, which would have actually been worth it in the end 😀

            Yeah that could work well obviously, until Mahrez starts!

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

              Honestly none from Arsenal or Spurs tickle my fancy. There's just better midfield options than Alli, Ozil, and Eriksen, Kane is overpriced no matter what, which maybe leaves Auba or Laca, accessible through FTS if nothing else

              1. SADIO SANÉ
                • 10 Years
                7 years, 5 months ago

                Alli? 😀 yeah, think you're right

  15. Superflymonk
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    The one player I thought was worth getting was Sane but couldn't fit him in my team. Just didn't want to lose any of Hazard Salah.

    1. Ser Davos
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Another reason for going big in midfield.

      And I noticed Success came in for his obligatory 1 point.

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

        Yes, I actually play with 5 mids now no premium strikers Hazard Sterling Siggy Salah Paterson. Just so much value in mids

    2. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I know exactly what you mean. I only decided to lose Salah for Sane as have decent lead in mini leagues so thought I would take the risk.

  16. Bolivian Seaman
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Spurs vs Chelsea should be a good game. Spurs have their best attackers back but also Foyth and Aurier agaisnt Hazard and Alonso

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

      Foyth will be a really good CB one day imo.

      One day

      1. Bolivian Seaman
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Yes, I'm being a bit unfair but Hazard can't be stopped by anyone so hopefully a few nerves for foyth and hazard will be on for a big score

  17. seewhyaxe
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    I have Salah captain and I'm still performing poorly.

    Need dire help!

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Sell Salah. 🙂

    2. Superflymonk
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Don't sell Salah. Very nailed on Still trickling returns I think at some point pool will start scoring lots of goals. I'd find a way to fit in other players.

  18. Merlinsnose
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Foyth looks like a good choice for 5mill.

    What do you think?

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Ask again in a couple of hours

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Vertonghen will be back soon therefore don’t see him as option

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

        Vertonghen is on the bench. Do you think he will be rotated or is Foyth first choice now?

        Thanks

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

          Lol. It's rotation

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

      Less nailed than string in the wind

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

    Ederson
    Robertson - Alonso - Doherty - Vinagre
    Richarlison - Salah* - Hazard
    Arnautovic - Jiménez - Agüero*
    (Hamer - Camarasa - Wan-B - Fraser)

    Early thoughts: how's the team looking for next GW? Kun or Mo out to make room for Sterling/Sané?

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

      hold steady for now.

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

        Tempting to save a transfer for sure, but Sterling is getting these great scores!

    1. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      would love to know too

  21. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    I'm thinking Mendy & Robertson to digne & TAA to upgrade my mid in the upcoming weeks

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

      Do you think TAA is now going to play every week?

      I’m guessing after his goal, he should keep his place?

      1. The Enlightener
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Has started all but two games, I think it is. So, I certainly think he's a safe bet. Will be rotated out here and there, possibly, but not enough to be a put off, IMO.

      2. The Red Devil
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Their PPM difference is 0.7 for a price difference of 1.4
        Besides I think both fullbacks will be rotated, might as well get the cheaper one

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I’m thinking you’re a wise man, sir.

      Unless you’re a woman, in which case you’re a wise woman..

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

    Can anyone give me a level-headed assessment of how

    A) Salah
    B) Aguero

    looked today? Salah especially is doing my head in at the moment, and Kun blank is annoying.

    1. French Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      a) not worth his price tag
      b) poor today but great at home

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Pretty much what I said when he asked this on the previous thread.

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

          I know, and thanks for that response. Had I realised there was a new article I'd have asked in here to save the trouble.

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      A) Okay
      B) Poor

      A should be ahead of B for the chopping block though imo.

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Both need booting out..

        1. sully29
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Quite probably. Just a matter of priorities.

  23. French Gooner

    Martial Bandwagon hitting a brick wall

    1. HamezMace

      Still better than the Ings and Barkley ones.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Most have probably already sold for Armstrong.

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        True.

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Kun to Kane seems like spending more money for the same end result.

      Honestly, I’m thinking Auba in a couple of weeks is the one to get. Go big on Midfielders, get Auba and a few cheapies.

      The big hitters are dead.

  26. Football Heaven
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Going to be hard getting rid of Salah considering his 6 involvements in 5 games and hazards fixtures after next week not being that good but I need sterling. NEED

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

      Who needs Sterling when you can have Sane and 2m.

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

        Could get both

        1. Not again Shirley
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Agreed

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Nail on head.

      You need Sterling.

      So do I.

      By any means necessary, as Malcolm X would say.

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

    Alli brace incoming

  28. Bad Kompany
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Salah and Fraser to mane and sane?

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

    I refuse to kneejerk Sterling in (yet anyway) for Salah. I have a strong feeling he'll troll, and Salah will score again.

    Sane also tempting, but as above.

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I'll be getting one/both of them. Scoring too many pts to avoid.

    2. Ser Davos
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Aguero and Hudson Odoi

      to

      Arnie and Sane

      after next gameweek is mightily tempting and means I move to a 3-5-2. Any rise by more than .1 for those two prices myself out...

      1. Bad Kompany
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Think so

      2. Lets jump straight into it.
