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.

    He can't score in August they said...

      Think they stopped saying that last year.

    One more Harry

    mr kane, can you play in the start of th season?

  5. thepeen555

    7 years, 21 days ago

    Didn’t deserve this villa. Such a shame.

    Heston has been awesome. Mings will be a CB legend.

    McGinn is also pretty decent

    1. Milk, 1 Šuker

      • 14 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Blumenthal? (“Heston”). Didn’t know he played footy!

      1. thepeen555

        Lmfao whoops

    2. Tcheco
      • 9 Years

      They're crap

  6. Says
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    Kane took both of those goals really well, sharp.

  7. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    3 BAPS for Kane surely

    1. moment
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      100%

  8. Je suis le chat
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    Thanks Harry, race for the golden boot should be good if all the principal players stay fit.

  9. Tcheco
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    KSS essential

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Wait till A joins the party 😉

      1. Tcheco
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        SAKS

  10. The Mastermind
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    Auba will still outscore Kane.

    1. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Well see

  11. Rik Waller
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    Just needed that goal to afford Kane > Raz hit.

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

      Bad move

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

    Over to you Ser Jamie & Ser Ayoze

    20 points would be nice

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

    Good for Kane owners.

    You can't have everyone. He's doing what a premium player should do against a newly promoted team.

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

      Yep. One goal would have been damage limitation, two goals is about par.

  14. How Mina You
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    Villa supremely unlucky here.

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      You think ?

      1. How Mina You
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Defended very well for most of the match and conceded 1 (or arguably 2) jammy goals.

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      how?

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

      Parked the bus waaaaay to early

  15. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    kept KDB in my team instead of getting Kane.

  16. Cholito
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    Deserved 2pts turns into lucky and undeserved 13.
    That's usual thing in fantasy.

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

      Non-Kane owner, I take it?

  17. Tom Heat-is-on
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    Best captain for GW2?

    A) Salah (sou)
    B) Sterling (TOT)
    C) Kane (mci)

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      B easily

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

    Fair play Kane owners.

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Feeling pretty lucky TBH...wasn't looking good

      😎

  19. TheSteel
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    Auba owners, how are we holding up?

    1. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Excited.

    2. thepeen555
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      I got salah, Kdb, Kane and auba

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Snap...I'll love it if I overtake some Sterling owners in my MLs

        1. thepeen555
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          Yeah think it will balance it’s self out. When you work it out on potential point average the money used not having sterling and going KdB makes sense. It is tough to watch mind you.

          1. Business Cat
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 21 days ago

            I got Auba in with an eye to differential captain next week too

    3. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      I have been someone who continuously tinkered between auba and Kane, and went with auba, I am pretty confident

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

        I went with both

    4. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Touching cloth.

      Picked ASS instead of SSK

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Always been an ASS guy 😉

        1. thepeen555
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          Lol

        2. Call Me Old Fashioned
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          Had Auba all week instead of Kane so can't complain

    5. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      As long as Kane doesn't rise in price this week I'm fine with it

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        He'll rise by Monday:D

    6. 2hotty
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      fine glad i got a premium striker so much easier to switch to another when needed

  20. Bubz
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    Those who went with the 3 big hitters are the winners this week

    1. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Thanks Bubz

    2. The Gobstopper
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Yep. Will be interesting to see if it holds up over the full season...

    3. moment
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Think I'm going to kneejerk the missing 3rd of them in. KDB + Fraser -> Sterling + 5M.

    4. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      🙂

    5. Yeyeyeyeye

  21. Niho992
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    Main rival have Kane, McGinn on the bench. Great start of the season.

  22. NeverLucky
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    Salah, Sterling and Kane (C) - good week 1! Although Kane was a bit lucky...

  23. thepeen555
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    Respect if you captained kane. I don’t have the balls to risk it on himlol

  24. Pumpkinhead
    • 11 Years

  27. Agger
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    Pogba, Rashford, Wan Bissaka and Almiron left to play with 78 points. Let's go baby

    1. Red Devil Swede
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Too much United 🙂 good luck!

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

        You can never go too much when they're gonna win the league 😉

  28. MCM
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    That moment when Kane saves your GW and you come out like the Hermit Crab that I am 😀 No shame

  29. niko mate
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    Kane is still a dookie. 2 lucky goals don't convince me to buy him.

    1. Solano's Trumpet
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      k

  30. Magic Zico

    Is my memory correct, last season Spurs scored many last minute goals?
