Which Spurs players are worth owning in FPL this season?

Tottenham Hotspur players are causing some Fantasy Premier League managers dilemmas at the start of the season.

They have a favourable opening fixture at home to Aston Villa but with a trip to Manchester City in Gameweek 2 and relatively expensive price points, their assets could be the ones to miss out on those initial teams.

However, there are some encouraging reasons to own some of Mauricio Pochettino’s players at the start of the new campaign.

In this article we assess Spurs’ defensive and attacking potential based on last season’s underlying statistics.

As this analysis uses data from the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area, only those who have signed up for the 2019/20 season can access it in full.

  4. foreverton
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Any advice ?

    Pope, 4.0

    Robertson, Coleman, Ake, Chambers, 4.0

    Salah, Richarlison, Perez, Sterling, 4.5

    Aubameyang, Jota, 4.5

    1. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Forget about Richarlison. Rest is sound

    2. FFSheep Trooper
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      too light in defence, i think

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      pick 2 premiums then upgrade defence

  5. FFSheep Trooper
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    is locadia is a good choice?

    if not i just go gor mid 5.5
    robinson/mcginn

    1. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      He could be actually was impressive in pre-season

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      murray/ings better

    3. ow00019
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Looked good pre season. Not sure where Maupay fits into the front three but think should be good to start the season.

    Does Cancelo signing for City our Zinchenko/Walker under threat from as early as GW2...?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Walker but probably from gw3

    2. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Walker. GW2 seems way too early IMHO though.

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      from gw3 depending on how theyre performing. i personally think zinch will get a decent amount of gametime

  7. RUUD!

    4 years, 8 months ago

    Milivojevic is currently the shortest odds to be Palace’s top scorer this season lol.

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      He got the most FPL points last year + VAR and he’s on pens so not that surprised.

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        var doesnt correlate with notable increase in pens

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      He won't get many penos with Zaha gone.

    3. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Nah, Victor Camarasa will outpoint Milivojevic. :).

  8. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Which combo do you prefer?

    A) Pope Zinchenko Fraser
    B) Ederson AWB Trossard

    1. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      A

    2. price
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      A

    3. FFSheep Trooper
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      i like B

    4. Loftus cheeky nandos
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      B

    5. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      A

  9. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Goalkeepers: 9m
    Defenders: 28,5m
    Midfielders: 43m
    Forwards: 20m

    Feels really weird this. The days of SAS seem very distant.

    1. European Bob
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      My front line is 18m. Do the math, that's just 18% of my budget

  10. Jordan.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    just had a count up most teams are being picked from a hardcore number of between 65 to 80 players ,no wonder its all a bit similar...

    1. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Care to share the FFS template

    2. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Makes sense: there are currently only 64 value players with a Points/GBP of more than 20.

  11. price
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Is a 4.5 Everton in Gibson or Holgate a good shout? With no Mina probably. Either one could be playing alongside Keane?

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      is mina injured?

  12. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    I think Manchester United would benefit in replacing Pogba with Eriksen. He's a model professional and a better role model for the younger players such as Greenwood, Martial, AWB, Lingard, Rashford and Mctominay

    1. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      And he's consistent

    2. Whazza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Mata is there mate

    3. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Agree. And Spurs will be better off with Coutinho than Eriksen based on recent form. Everyone's a winner.

    4. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      No one notices Lingard in there 😆

  13. chaser123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Heaton (4.0)
    VVD Robertson Digne Zinchenko (4.0)
    Salah Sterling Fraser Perez (4.5)
    Wilson Jota (4.5)

    Any tips/comments would be really appreciated!

    1. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Seen this team before all over

    2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Exactly same as mine mate!! I’ve got Deeney instead of Jota that’s all!!

    3. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I quite like it. Jota could be Wesley?

    4. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Fraser to Moura to capalise on gw1 fixtures

    5. LangerznMash
      • 7 Years

      Template, this team gets posted loads.

  14. Kun Tozser

    Zaha at Everton, Siggy still on pens?

    1. Z
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Official?

      1. Z
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Siggy is alway on pens....Mili was in CRY

    2. Starky22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Ofcourse. Zaha didn’t even take Palace’s.

      1. Kun Tozser
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        My point was Siggy should get more goals, if still on

    3. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Good question as Siggy gas missed a few.

  15. RyanKent14
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    I’ve changed this so much but can’t get Rashford and another Liverpool attacker out my head, how is this looking?

    Heaton (Button)
    AWB VVD Zinch (Dunk) (Lund)
    Salah Sterling Pérez McGinn (Dend)
    Firmino Rashford King

    Looking for opinions? Thanks

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Firmino to Kane/Auba, downgrade Rashford

      1. RyanKent14
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        That’s what I thought, I’ve had Kane and Jota in before that

  16. Z
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    A. Sterling, Barkley, Ceballos
    B. Bilva, Siggy, Perez

  17. kysersosa
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    New right back at Everton: https://www.skysports.com/share/11778995

    Coleman not so nailed maybe now.

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Digne definitely worth the 0.5m extra then

  18. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    So what exactly is the domino effect of transfers happening right now? Seems like every player is linked to every club

  19. CYN
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    On the former, contemplating the latter...

    A. Wilson, Fraser, Stones
    B. Aubameyang/Kane, Barkley/Trossard, 5.0 def

  20. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts? Thinking of going Auba over Kane.

    Pope
    TAA, VVD, Digne, Zinch
    Salah, Sterling, Perez, Robinson
    Auba, Wesley

    4.0, Dendoncker, Lundstram, Greenwood

    1. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      What? Isn't that over budget?

      1. DV8R
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        No, it's exact.

    2. Studini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Love this team. I'm with you in my fears for Robinson with their new signing so am keeping an eye on him and switching to McGinn if he's dropped.

  21. Mitch3ltje
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Hello guys, quick question!

    How do you guys think Harry Wilson (liverpool) will do at Bournemouth?

    He will most likely get game time because of the injured winger David Brooks.

    Let me know! 😉

    1. Lebowski85
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      That's a fair shout....

    2. Puncheon Guly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Bournemouth need to stop signing rubbish from liverpool.

      Apparently there is a clause in the loan regarding game time, so might see a lot of him

  22. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    WIth all the money involved its amateurish how the transfer window always ends up like this for at least a few top clubs.

  23. El Lobito 10
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Who gets more points over the season?

    A. Sterling and Jota
    B. KdB and Vardy

    1. Thomas Jerome Newton
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      A) will get 15 more points.

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Precise. Thanks

  24. Whits
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    I dare you all to answer this:

    A. Dunk, Perez, Kane

    B. Wan B, Moura, Vardy.

    Thank you please!

    1. El Lobito 10

    Thoughts on Kean at 7.0?

    I've tweaked a few to get him in.

    A bit of a gamble I know, but Everton create so many chances he could prove to be a real bargain if he hits the ground running.

    1. Strchld
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      If I would be sure that he starts GW1, he is in my team. But Im not at all.

      1. West End Exile
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks, yes might be a last minute call. Chris Wood waiting in the wings.

    2. I am Cantona
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Depends on strength of your bench in my opinion.

      I'm going with him,but have got two on my bench who should start. Hoping Kean will start GW1,but even if he doesn't,he will start after that. I can cope with one benching for one week.

    3. Old Gregg
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Make some Moise.

      I’m the same as STRCHlLD. See if Silva gives any thing away in the presser.

  26. Loftus cheeky nandos
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Is kean set to start for gw1?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years

      Have to wait and decipher the press conference

    2. ow00019

      Meh, go with gut.

    2. El Lobito 10

      Heaters

    3. ow00019

      Henderson

    4. West End Exile

      Pope for me, but then again I don't pick Villa players 🙂

    5. Old Gregg
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      The heat is on.

      Both served me well in the past. I’m probably going with Heaton

    Pope (Heaton)

    1. Old Gregg
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Not unless Pope gets injured.

      At Leeds last year. Also broke into the Northern Ireland international team. Decent I think. But I don’t know for sure

    B) Pope - Button - Laporte - Siggy

    I like the keeper rotation (even if it ends in tears) but I also think I need a sub for the first few weeks. The only problem is how strong this sub will be in these setups (B and C)
