Kane supported by Moura and Lamela against Villa

Harry Kane (£11.0m) will be supported by Lucas Moura (£7.5m) and Erik Lamela (£6.0m) for Spurs’ Gameweek 1 clash with Aston Villa.

With Son Heung-min (£9.5m) suspended and Dele Alli (£8.5m) ruled out with a hamstring injury, there was an opportunity for cheaper midfield players to come in for Spurs.

Moura and Lamela have taken those opportunities and those who included them in their first squad of the season will be delighted.

Moura is currently in 11.2% of squads as the Brazilian was considered the most popular cheaper alternative to the expensive Kane.

Lamela is the real differential, snapped up by Scout legend Mark Sutherns for Gameweek 1, and owned by just 0.7% of Fantasy managers.

Christian Eriksen (£9.0m) is among the substitutes and it will be interesting to see which of the attacking players he replaces if he does come on.

Kyle Walker-Peters (£5.0m) gets a start at right-back with Juan Foyth (£5.0m) suspended, although Serge Aurier (£5.0m) has recovered from his knock to feature on the bench.

Meanwhile, Dean Smith surprised Fantasy managers with some elements of his team selection.

Despite Matt Targett (£4.5m) and Frederic Guilbert (£4.5m) playing extensively at left and right full-back respectively in pre-season, neither were in the starting line-up.

The former was named on the bench while Guilbert was not in the matchday squad at all.

Furthermore, Jota (£6.0m) also impressed during the summer but is named among the substitutes while Anwar El Ghazi (£5.5m) and Trezeguet (£5.5m) start either side of Wesley (£6.0m)

Spurs XI: Lloris; Rose, Sánchez, Alderweireld, Walker-Peters; Ndombele, Sissoko, Winks; Lamela, Lucas; Kane.

Aston Villa XI: Heaton; N Taylor, Mings, Engels, El Mohamady; Grealish, McGinn, Hourihane; El Ghazi, Wesley, Trezeguet.

    Kane seems to be drifting wide than taking central positions

  21. Gudjohnsen

    Kane is so overrated

    1. FISSH
      • 11 Years

      This

  22. Huddersfield

    Yes Moura !

  23. Magic Zico

    Bandwagon starts

    1. jaybradlights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      They can have him

  24. diesel001

    Eriksen has added urgency to Spurs. Moving the ball forward more quickly.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Disaster if he moved to Spain

  25. Tinmen
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    How is Wesley playing folks?
    I’m considering him with Villas fixtures

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Wouldnt consider

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Spent most of the game trying to buy free kicks.

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Fails eye test.

    4. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Hard to judge in this game because Villa are defending so much. But he has held the ball up well when required as an out ball.

    5. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Poor. Hasn't held the ball up at all

    6. Throwback
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Unconvincing performance. No supply but seemed to spend most of the first half throwing himself on the floor.

    7. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      I've been watching and have no idea if he's any good or not.

    8. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      surely his function is to make the mids look better?

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

      The best comparison to him is Morata. Looks terrible, flopping on the ground half the time, no strength in hold up.

  26. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Eirksen will love this.

    Is there any chance at all that Moura keeps the assist or is it definitely going to be taken away? 🙁

    Heaton the sheep of the nailed cheapies so far

  29. _Ninja_
