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.

    Why are people so reactionary with their transfer damnit. Don't want Robbo dropping in price.

      No need to worry about price drop if you are keeping him for the long haul.

      Always gonna happen but think he'll be ok, Origi currently being transferred in by people.

      Hes in my team for the season.. so if he drops 0.1 not ideal but will survive!

    4. Cok3y5murf
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      He's only at -4.5. Don't think he'll drop.

      • 8 Years

  3. Godfrey

    71 with 4 to go. I always have a slow start, new situation for me.

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      This is a slow start on here

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

        Not according to the subleague FFS

        1. Grand Thibauto
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          JK, most scores here are 80+ with 3/4 to go

          1. cheekumz
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 21 days ago

            Drivel... maybe most scores you see people talking about.. pretty sure if you polled "around here" most people would not be on 8+ with 3/4 to go.

            1. cheekumz
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 21 days ago

              80+*

    2. SkeletONv01
      • 8 Years

      1. FPL_DON
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Fingers crossed for us both!

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

    Not many options in the 6.0 bracket to replace Trossard. Anyone who left money in the bank laughing

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Buendia looks good imo.

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      You haven’t waited for the newcastle game mate. Almiron will make your decision simple

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 12 Years

      Double move after next gameweek is on the cards for him

    4. RyanKent14
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      I’m in the same boat, Barkley only 1 standing out to me

    5. EMBOLOFAN

      barkley

    6. Hazz

      Prepare for Lord Barkley tomorrow, my friend /s.

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

      Whichever of the Chelsea 6.0m mids that performs against United. Barkley most likely.

  8. Cok3y5murf
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    Screwed up my Fraser/Moura 50/50 decision. So hatty imminent

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

      how do you know you screwed it up?

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Fraser was a bit sloppy. Not convinced.

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

          It's just been 1 game! My plan is to at least give him the next one and then reassess for GW3 with 2 transfers in hand. Don't kneejerk just yet.

          1. Cok3y5murf
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 21 days ago

            I'm not. Just saying.

        Love the upgrades to the site mate. Great work!

  11. Brian Boitano

    Anyone hit a hundo yet? I got very lucky with a Dunk punt today! May get over 100 for the first time in a normal gwk

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

      i'm on 85 with Vardy, Tielemans and... Dendonker to play.

      Its still a possibility but i am not confident. Good luck - triple digits in gameweek 1 would be awesome.

    2. Cleric
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      90 with Pérez and bonus points left. Gonna be close

  12. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    Anybody know where Guilbert is?

    Have him as a bench player but still frustrating that he’s nowhere to be seen...could cause future issues. Knew I should have binned him off.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Too tough a game.

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Sounds like bit first choice for he tough games. Smith said the importance of playing 3 of the back 4 from last season that only conceded 12 goals since he took over for over half a season

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Not*

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

    Were Southampton as terrible as the scoreline shows?
    How did Che Adams do?

  14. OPTA FPL
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    BPS locked?

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

      not yet .

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

    Assume Eriksen being out of favour is good news for Moura going forward?

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Do they play the same position? I assume it lo celso who would replace eriksen than moura

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

        No but the formation has changed

        1. Grand Thibauto
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          They still need to replace eriksen's creative input to the team, which I believe something lo celso can replace.

    2. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      For the first few yes. Probably will get a few more games but that’s about it. Eriksen will be back soon can’t ignore his quality

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

        He could potentially leave the club though

    3. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Definitely

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

    surely there will be a few managers in the century club after GW1.

    Wish i'd played the triple © chip! Must be one of the biggest scoring opening gameweeks in history with the two standout picks both hauling

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      I think GW1 last year was higher-scoring. I got 95 points.

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

      Last year was a huge opener if i remember correctly

      1. bryant
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        it was

      2. 7shadesofsmoke
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        true - think i was around the 100K mark with 88 points if memory serves...

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

          99 with 34 on bench got me a 16k rank last season

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

            ooooosshhhh i can only dream.

            Will be happy if i can hold above the 50K mark but will depend on how Kane does i think....

      3. Manani
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        remember those defender assist + CS.
        Would have been the same this year if it wasn't for that Pukki goal

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

      Last year I had 99 points gw 1 yet ended up with my worst finish. Happy to start more cagily and try to avoid hits.

    4. Manani
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      last season GW1 was higher for me 103 points I think, got that Robertson Mendy and someone else don't really remember who

  17. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    Ayoze not playing tomorrow would be lovely. I know how unlikely that is, but it would mean Dunk comes in, so a guy can hope.

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

      He can easily hit a brace.

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Oh, I know. I'm thinking more about differential possibilities.

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

        They are losing 1/0 at home

  18. XabiAlonso
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    46 any good

    1. el polako
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Not great.

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

      If you’ve got Kane & Aubameyang left with one of them
      Captain then maybe its good!

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

        Just Kane captain having a salah less season

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

          any reason to make that decision?

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

            To stop making my mini league buddies so miserable

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

          Kane hattrick and you are in very good shape

    3. Elwood
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Above average at the moment

      It's 40 currently.

  19. Galza

    Wesley owners, give me a wave...! 🙂

    1. Tsparkes10

        Looking forward to see how he gets on. I bought him for next few, so it’s just an eye test today and anything else is a bonus.

        Get in!

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

    Anybody watch the burnley game? How's wood on that game compared to barnes?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      I haven't watched but reading online, he was offside a number of times (including a disallowed goal).

      Still, the link-up play between the two is good.

    2. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      seconded

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

        Alright thanks guys!

        1. jdp219
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          Oh, I think I should clarify. I was seconding your question. I didn't watch but have Wood in my squad.

    3. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Goal VAR'd out for offside. Pieters cross for Barnes's second was just over his head and if Gudmunsson had crossed instead of shot for his goal Wood was unmarked at the back post.

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        So, stick with Wood is what I'm reading here.

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

          Yea I'll stick with him based on these replies

      2. Hairy Potter
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        I thought the linesman flagged for offside and VAR was just to double check.

  21. Elwood
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    Any idea why Trossard didn't play today?

  22. Huddersfield
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    Gutted.
    Murray in my FPL Team and i placed a tenner on Brighton 4 nil win

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

      4 nil - that was optimistic

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

        Almost correct

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

    Villa should be interesting

    So many new players, could work out could be Fulham 2.0

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

    Ironically, the Walker, Pieters, Walker-Peters defense might actually be incredible this week!

      I would have moved walker-pieters to the centre there

    Got Mings on the bench along with Diop.

    Went for nailedness in the end in a rotating three 4.5m defs.

    Got very lucky with Montoya who was a punt but has got me a clean sheet.

    B.Silva and Robertson -4 for 4.0 def and Sterling?
    Got VVD and KDB already.

      No, B Silva can "cover" Sterling.... In fact just buy Phil Foden or Gundogun.
