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.

    Its only gw1. Y dump trossard?

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Cause goal shy Brighton scored 3 past Watford in an away match without him

      1. money face bandwagon
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Oh well I would at least give it another gw and then take him out w 2fts

        1. Flynny
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Trossard unlikely to start next week

          Ideally want to save ft. But my poor bench and price rises may force me to get rid maybe for McGinn

  3. potatoace
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    was considering a sneaky Ryan>Adrian move this week.
    not sure I'll bother now.

  4. Four Hit Wonder
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Rose is awesome.

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      He need some support - well done!

  5. No_Mo_Salah?
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    What are people doing with Trossard? Keeping for now?

    1. Concrete
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Yes...see what happens I think

      Keep an eye on price changes if looking for TV

    2. Lebowski85
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I've moved him on for McGinn...because my bench is whack. If I had a better bench I'd give it another week or so

    3. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      hmm my kneejerk says transfer to mcginn, gives me money to go KWP -> Zinchenko... but wait and see.

    4. le flem
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      He'll probably start playing soon, I'd keep personally, but can understand dumping due to price change, uncertainty, flavour of the week etc.

  6. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Why did I captain Kane

    1. le flem
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      because you're the differentiator

      1. Lebowski85
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Damn right he is!

    2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Because he was a differential?

    3. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      You thought he will outscore Sterling and Salah. It was a difficult day for me as Sterling captain after double digit for Salah yesterday

  7. Vlad Tepes
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Spurs looking terrible, fell into the Kane trap again... Third year in a row 😀

  8. thomashl
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    How's McGinn looking?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Scored

      1. thomashl
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Except from the obvious goal...

    2. Lebowski85
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Looks tenacious and that finish was good, I thought.

      1. thomashl
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers mate. Trossard -> McGinn on my list of ideas for next gw

    3. The Shaman
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Exceptional. Set up a big chance for Trezeguet. Winning lots of tackles. Currently the stand out player in the match.

  9. KGFC
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Any news on Guilbert?

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I'm wondering this too

  10. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Ndombele is one of the most awkward players I have ever seen

    What is happening with his legs

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Because he is injured I think

    2. KGFC
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah, seems like he’ll break down anytime!

    3. Eytexi
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      One likes shooting, one likes passing. They fight endlessly.

    4. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Was slightly different when you finished there.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Agree. But I had a great start then too especially after first 3 GW's. First 3 GW's are esential imo. It's so much more difficult to play catch up and chase

        1. TheDragon
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Awesome gameweek score

  13. Jafoole_88
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Danny Rose is the new Fellaini

  14. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Is Wesley the Brazilian Morata?

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Tom Daley

  15. DAZZ
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Ndombele looks a bit like Lance Stephenson

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Wesley loves a fall to the ground

  17. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Harry Kane is like Andy Carroll

    1. Lazaretti
      • 8 Years

    How's Kane look

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Tall with a new haircut

    2. Four Hit Wonder
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Tall, with a huge head inflated by ego over the years.

    3. Eytexi
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      As a non-owner, I'm not concerned so far. Put it that way.

    4. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Would consider in my team if he cost 9.5

  19. DAZZ
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Remember when Rose thought he was the best LB in the league and was disgusted he was only earning 70K a week lol. Shocking defender

  20. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Not been impressed with Moura at all so far

    1. How Mina You
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Almost scored and it's only been half an hour.

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Missed a sitter

        1. How Mina You
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Wouldn't write him off just yet.

    2. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Hopefully he keeps missing 😉

  21. How Mina You
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Any time Alderweireld's come close to Wesley, the Brazilian just wants to fall over aha

  22. Four Hit Wonder
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    McGinn is Villa's Fraser.

    1. Four Hit Wonder
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      They look alike.

  23. Malcolm Tucker for England …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Harry Kane playing like a poor man's Harry Kane

  24. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Ref not handling the game well tbh. Stop and start for every little whine and dive.

  25. Whats the Huth
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    I had no idea Heaton moved to Villa! I was gutted when I realised I should've gone Pope
    Fingers crossed my casual mistake pays off!!

  26. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Do you think McGinnn rise in price before start of gw2?

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      At that price with those fixtures, good chance

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Of course.

  27. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Why is Lamela on corners, he is crap!

  28. How Mina You
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Echo the comments about Ndombele. The guy looks like he'll trip over his legs with each step.

  29. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Nick Pope is like Burnley's Tom Heaton

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Hopefully Villa's Tom Heaton is like Burnley's Tom Heaton

  30. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Wtf is Ndombele doing? What a joke
