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

      At the minute tou’d Have to say the latter.. but doubling Mo’s scores makes it less clear cut. Firmly believe Salah has a mega haul just around the corner which will shake things up even more

    4. Pariße

      Salah and Fraser

    Morata, if you were ever onside, that is what happens. Hope you rot in the bench forevermore.

    I never understand why Giroud doesn't stand

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe he's tired.

    I would like to thank the members area for showing me why I should choose Keane over Digne. 8 points in the bag.

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

      The members area was kind of showing the opposite to me?

      1. Egg noodle
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        If I remember my filters, it was average statistics for the last 4 matches. Result was Digne had better assist potential, Keane had better goal and BP potential.

    2. FP El Wonky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Keane all the way! Well read mate.

    3. Runaway
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Can members area precisely show that 1 BPS difference? What members area showed to me that goal threat vs chances created.

    4. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      There was only a point difference - in Keane's favour - on the RMT for the next 6 weeks. Not sure which stats you are referring too?
      Obviously, the PPM is no contest - 4.9 v 3.5 - and MK has 6 more baps.
      However, the 0.2 counts for a lot when you are looking to bring in more expensive players.

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

    How Morata starts instead of Giroud (the World Cup winner) is beyond me.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Both suck

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

        Giroud can at least combine with his teammates, and doesn't put himself in offside every situation.

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      You mean the World Cup winner who didn’t have a single shot on target during tournament?

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

        Yup, but he's the WC winner who only put himself in offside every time Chelsea attack.

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

          who doesn't only*

  7. Rocky FPL
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Just when I thought I can keep the core of Salah, Hazard, Aguero and Alonso and tinker the rest, spurs pull out such an inspiring performance.

    1. Ross From Friends
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      its a trap

  8. Dybala10
    • 8 Years

    This is making it real hard not to pull that WC...

      Use it, I say. That's what it's there for.

    Sky text commentary said Alonso assisted Giroud’s goal. Grrrrrr!!!!!! Thought I got Alonso assist

    Haven’t got a clue what to do with my wildcard this week!

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

      Make sure Sané & Eriksen are in there anyways

    4. Fred54

      I've never managed to go beyond GW4 before using it.

      Did you activate it already? Better used in a week or two IMO

    6. Hughes the Daddy

      Save it for gw16

    7. Epic Fail

      Don't use it if you don't know what to do.

  11. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Hazard in 3 weeks ago has been a terrible investment

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Big old points haul coming v Fulham I think

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Yep. Rrally need him and Alonso to step up in that game.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          40 points between them (pre-captaincy)

          1. Royal5
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            I'll take it.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      He'll be up against Cyrus Christie next GW, have patience.

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

        If he isn't injured...

  12. Jonny Sutt
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone got any WC templates?

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

      Is this what FPL has come to

  13. Fantastisk
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Arnie-> Giroud for a -4?

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

      If you're convinced he's about to suddenly become a starter.

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

      Ridiculous! Bt you're just kidding

  14. Samwise the Brave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    First digne, now Kane, can't get baps at all today

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

      Won't Kane get extra baps for the winning goal?

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

        Not 100% sure how the winning goal works if I'm honest. With girouds goal does the second goal count?

      2. Egg noodle
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        He will

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

          Looking the BP's it looks unlikely now since Kane is on 29 and azip is on 33, so Kane will be short even with 3bsp winning goal unless there are deductions

        2. Halftime
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Might be enough for a bonus point.

  15. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Can't wait to wc in next 2 or 3 weeks :). Kane, Raheem, Rash, Aubam, Mkhi/ozil, Son, Wilson, Sig hmmmm

    Poor shot from Alonso

  18. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    Even in a game like this, Alonso still pops up with a good chance

    Surely a midfield of Salah Hazard Sterling and Sane sets you up nicely till the new year with Kane up top?

    1. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years

      I'm considering Mane to Sane, but wary of Mahrez.
