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.

        Whats wrong with it!m? People way to sensitive on here. This website stinks outside the DZ.

          Bit harsh on the rest of us mate.

          That's a very decent score just don't react to the haters.

            You are right, not everyone is like this. Apologies.

    Why isn't Guilbert on Villa matchsquad ? Injured ? Or just not selected ?

    1. TheDragon

      No clue. I'm sure we'll find out.

      is that the sound of a FFScout bubble bursting I hear

    4. Galza
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      I brought him in last minute to rotate with Montoya.
      It’s a weird one that he’s not even on the bench. Must have a niggle or something...

    5. Planet Head
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Seems like he was a placeholder

  3. Teror
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    Bournemouth showed today why I refused to double up on them. The only teams worth doubling up on at this stage are Liv and City. Still need Martial to avoid blanking to justify my picking him over Fraser but my logic has been vindicated.

    1. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years

      You're a star. Keep it up.

          You're so knowledgable, you must have won FPL like.. every year right?

          1. Teror
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 21 days ago

            Clearly more knowledgeable than you considering you decided to go without Sterling. Reckless? More like Clueless, bruv.

            1. Pumpkinhead
              • 11 Years

              HMU at the end of the season with your rank

                  Looks like my logic has been vindicated - absolutely misteak of a fpl manager here.

      Showed that a 8 M for their FW is too much

      1. Teror
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Yeah Wilson hardly justified his price. Better than a blank tho and if some of the cheapies keep performing it's an easy downgrade.

    3. Greasy Grealish Gang
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      I agree. However I dared doubling up on Brighton. Too bad one of them was Trossard..

  4. Tommo1888

    Any site for live average score ???

    2. bitm2007

      Game average is 46 points from an average of 6.2 players.

  5. sirmorbach
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    Lads, to those of you who are watching: how did my punts (a) Che Adams and (b) Robinson look?

    I know they did nothing relevant, but, like, where they sh--e to the point of getting dropped?

    1. Green Arrow
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      I watched the Bournemouth Sheffield game, and I would urge you to keep Robinson. He will come good soon

      1. sirmorbach
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Oh yeah? Wow, that is good to hear. Thanks, mate. Thanks indeed.

        (Hopefully you're not being ironic lol)

        1. Green Arrow
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          I was watching the game because I have 3 Bournemouth players, and I will ship out King and Fraser in the coming weeks..and probably bring in Robinson during those trades. He's a steal as a 5.5 mid for a starting striker. Sheffield impressed me much more than Bournemouth today

          1. sirmorbach
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 21 days ago

            Quite good to hear that. Thanks for your help, I very much appreciate it!

      No.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          • 15 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          FFS members area is incredibly fast for updating live BAPs.
          faster than FPL itself.

      2. Gentle_Turks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Currently he's losing out to Gudmunsson. Don't know if thats final.

        1. potatoace
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          he'll end up with the same as Gud . 28pts each.
          trust in FFS members area ,

      1. Nomar
        • 16 Years

        That’s kind of like a compliment these days.

        1. Pumpkinhead
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          how

    2. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Brilliant.

      Rico for me, so a bit annoyed Sheffield scored.

      What are you doing with Trossard?

      1. Nomar
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Can’t have 6m on the bench, Berbs.

        May see if this was just a bedding in benching, but if no start next week then he has to go?

        1. Davido989
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          Unless their manager said he was unwell etc., I think I'm selling. I'm sold on Buendia.

    You must feel embarrassed @Kiwivillan

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 12 Years

      what did he say

      1. Lav
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Lundstram and Kelly would not start. Guys a clown.

        1. Pumpkinhead
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          Because everything you've said on this site has been correct?

      2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        He has been literally spamming all pre season about villa, buy jota, buy Guilbert, buy villa etc etc.

        His best recommended pick jota - benched.

  10. Ha.

    So many greedy people

    Now give me a Kane hatty

  11. DAZZ
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    I’d expect some big scores here to be fair, seeing as the majority have probably spent 20+ hours tinkering their teams since June, i’d be disappointed if i got less than 70 today

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      I registered on fpl this week picked my squad in thursday and still on 79 lol

    2. Greasy Grealish Gang
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      82 with Vardy and Grealish still to play. I need at least 90 to be satisfied.

  12. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    79 with jota and Moura to go. Lovely start

  13. SB8
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    80 points with no players. Too bad?

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Season over..

      It’s very good. The people who post their scores on here:

      a) spend a lot of time on FPL and thus are better than average
      b) have particularly high scores, all the people with low scores don’t post

      So the above can distort your view of good.

      1. The Legend Squad
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        This is true! Usually the scores people post are significantly higher than the top 10k average of the GW. Don’t be disheartened by them, these people are just proud of their achievement and want to show it off - fair play to them!

  14. Manani

    hope more clar budget midfield option emerge so I can replace Fraser

    Kane needs a brace to justify his presence in my team.

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Well he needs to score you 2 weeks
      Worth of points today as he is getting nothing next game week

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Because Spurs didn’t put 4 past City in the champions league and Kane isn’t on pens? Good one..

        1. TheDragon
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          How much involvement did Kane have in the champions league games again?

          1. IRBOX ⚽
            • 9 Years

            The bias is dreadful here on game day

      1. Nomar
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Aye, only 179 points to go then.

        1. Pumpkinhead
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          Didn't get them all in one week

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Had him & Wilson for 5.5 & 6.0 last season - and I just wasn’t willing to pay their current prices - too high - they will get returns though if you stick with them for a while....

      But it’s a lot of budget

  23. Mull
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    Kane's going to be 10.7m by this time next week if he doesn't do anything. 😆

      I'm looking at Buendia. 2 home games, then West Ham away.
