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

    Barkely to come on in 2nd half and save the day for Chelsea and my FPL GW?

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

    What a woeful team this Chelsea team is. Shambles. Oh how I miss the spine of Lampard, Drogba and Terry

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

    Nearly 3. Stupid

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

    Eriksen making up for lost time. Need to figure out how to get him in for this spurs run

  5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Son is such a great outlet

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

      He’s made some dreadful decisions this half though.

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

    Yeah... Kovacic getting subbed at half time.

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

    That rabona weren't too bad, why are the commentators moaning?

  8. tm245
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Son, still a ball hog

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

      Son theory - plays better with eriksen and alli around?

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Definitely. Whoever is the fourth attacker with Kane All Erik is a lucky man.

  9. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Chelsea woeful

  10. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Son could have had a couple by now

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

    That rabona. 😆

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

    Morata has been caught offside 18 times this season.

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

      Setting all kind of records

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

        I think I know the true reason behind his new '29' shirt number.

  13. Riders of Yohan

    Bottomed

    Hazard for Sterling this week then Kane in for Aguero next?

    1ft 1.9ITB

    Patricio / foster
    Alonso / robbo / Digne / bennet / AWB
    Salah / Hazard / Fraser / Anderson / hoijberg
    Aguero / arnie / jiminez

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

      No

      1. Riders of Yohan
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Any other suggestions then?

    2. Lets jump straight into it.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Many will be doing the same if the score/result stays the same

    3. antis0cial
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard has Fulham home next week

      1. Riders of Yohan
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        True

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

    Poch would drop Moura for this game wouldn't he.....

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

      I’d say he’s gone for a while now - spurs look so much better without him

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

      It'd be 0-0 if Moura was on the pitch.

  15. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Why are Spurs fans booing Alonso

    1. Midlands Saint73
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I can think of one reason why any team might boo him, same reason he isnt in my team. Although I am cutting off my nose to spite my face.

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

      I'm not allowed to tell you the reason because the mods delete the truth.

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

    If Trippier could drop another 0.2 by GW15 he’d be a steal for 6.0

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

      6.1m certainly looks likely, 6m would be the dream though

    2. Majestic Chanka
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Think he’ll be back by then? Heard it was end of the month he’s out for?

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

        Hope he’s back early

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

      After TAA’s haul I’d imagine casual Trippier owners (of which there are hundreds of thousands) will sell in their droves - hopefully gets to 6.0

      1. Majestic Chanka
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I’m selling for TAA most likely 🙂

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

          I interpreted the “end of month” return to mean end of Nov! Could be bad timing to sell... TAA is a bargain though

  17. tm245
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Luiz finally getting involved.

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

    Hahaha! For once the overall ranks outscoring the top 10k and with less players and less captains played. Casual's paradise.

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

    Kane barking at the referee, someone tell him he's on three yellows

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

    few decisions before WC

    1)hazard + 5.8 or mane+fraser
    2) Kane ,alli, son or eriksen for spurs great run of fixtures
    3) city double up in midfield

  21. Jolly Good
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Got Richarlison in for Gudmundsson for a hit to be my captain

    Paid off 50% giving me 6 instead of aguero 4

  22. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    How Morata gets to start is beyond me, shouldn't even be on the bench, useless player...

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

      I don't get it. He somehow gets into the national XI too.

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

        Barcelona created a generation of footballers where no one wanted to be the ‘striker’

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

      He's dreadful. Ends attacking chances before they even come to fruition as he's asking for the ball in an offside position.

  23. Chenku╰☆╮
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Alonso will be sold enmass. I might downgrade to upgrade midfield..

    1. The Train Driver
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Before Fulham? You do that

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

      Please do. The more sellers the better.

    3. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Crack on mate

    4. Majestic Chanka
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      FPL Rule No. 1
      DO NOT SELL ALONSO

      1. Majestic Chanka
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        FPL Rule No. 2
        YOU DO NOT SELL ALONSO

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

        Rules are meant to be broken. I am 5k so worth a few risks at this time of the season..

        1. Kun Tozser
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Have to weight the risk though

          Plenty better options to get ahead

    5. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      He was only the highest scoring player in the game before today... People aren't gonna sell him that easy.

  24. Lilac Breasted Roller
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    A) Salah -> Sterling
    B) Brooks/aguero -> sterling/ jiminez
    C) hold aguero/Salah, ignore Sterling

    Not having Sterling is driving me nuts. Surely he's becoming more essential than hazard?

    1. Lets jump straight into it.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      So what about Haz > Sterling?

      1. Lilac Breasted Roller
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Possible, I lose out considerably with sell value though. (Bought at10.6)

  25. Dannyb
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    I've still got Morata in my team. Surely his days are numbered with Giroud waiting in the wings.

  26. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Hazard shot saved

  27. tm245
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Morata destroys Hazard's potential - he was benched from 5-8, right when Hazard was flourishing.

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

      Hopefully they sign Callum Wilson

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

    Haz jizzed a shot at Kepa

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

    Eriksen/Alli in for Salah tempting too now lol.

    (Not yet ofc)

  30. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Kane brace incoming
