Dele Alli (£8.3m) has been named on the Spurs bench ahead of their trip to Sheffield United.

The England international misses out on a start in Jose Mourinho’s talented attack, fronted by Harry Kane (£10.9m).

Son Heung-min (£9.8m), Lucas Moura (£7.1m) and Steven Bergwijn (£7.5m) are the three options named in attacking midfield, supported by a deeper pair of Giovani Lo Celso (£7.3m) and Moussa Sissoko (£4.8m).

The Fantasy attention will almost certainly be on the South Korean tonight. He is owned by 8.8% of managers worldwide and scored 12 points against Sheffield United back in Gameweek 12.

Those invested in the Spurs attack will be boosted by the line-up that Chris Wilder has been forced to field for the Blades.

Recent injuries to John Lundstram (£4.8m) and John Fleck (£4.8m), have severely limited his options in midfield. With Luke Freeman (£5.0m) also absent with a knock, Oliver Norwood (£4.8m), Ben Osborn (£4.7m) and Sander Berge (£4.7m) start together for the first time in the Premier League this season, Jack Rodwell (£4.5m) the only back-up on the bench.

Jack O’Connell (£4.6m) is still not back from injury either so Jack Robinson (£4.0m) continues to deputise in central defence alongside Chris Basham (£4.6m) and John Egan (£4.5m).

Spurs’ defence continues to offer greater stability though. For the third successive match since Project Restart began, Mourinho has paired Eric Dier (£4.8m) with Davinson Sánchez (£5.3m) at centre-back, flanked by Ben Davies (£5.3m) and Serge Aurier (£5.0m) in the full-back roles.

Sheffield United XI: D Henderson; Robinson, Egan, Basham; Stevens, Osborn, Norwood, Berge, Baldock; McBurnie, McGoldrick.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris; B Davies, D Sánchez, Dier, Aurier; Sissoko, Lo Celso; Son, Moura, Bergwijn; Kane.

    Sonny to lash back at Norwood later in the game and get a red?

      Not out of the question ehh
      He's in my team

  6. Bubz

    Wonder how long it will be until goals are just met with a quiet round of applause until the VAR check is over

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'll take the rough with the smooth with VAR. Some of the goals that have been given with the naked eye and then chalked off with VAR are a joke. Literally two yards+ offside and assistant can't see it is offside.

      Dread to think how many of those goals were given pre-VAR.

    When does Ladies' football resume?

    Can't think of many things more grating than having to listen to Phil Neville's commentary during empty stadia time.

    1. Bouncebackability

      i wonder if his own parents prefer Gary as well.

      'I don't see for the life of me how that can be given as a handball'
      You'd think he'd know the rulebook if you are a professional commentator!

    Son gets a touch in the box 😯

  10. Davido989

    I'd like to issue an apology for ever thinking Kane is better than Aubameyang.

      Apology not accepted

  12. TheTinman

    Completely spoiling the game with VAR. Forget about this letter of the law bollocks.

    Offside you need to have both shoulders over the line. Give the attackers the advantage again.

    ‘Any handball’ rule needs fixing.

    We want goals not boredom.

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      You want the laws amended, not VAR.

      1. DandyDon
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Unfortunately that’s all it takes. Good news about the two farcical decisions last two nights is they now have to amend the law for next season surely.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      So VAR did nothing wrong so?

    3. Scholes Out For Summer

    Can they change the name of the rule to Hand to armpit ball?
    looked like it him behind the shoulder to me...

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He was fouled as well that's why he was on the ground. And the ball was kicked into him

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Barely fouled relax, a slight brush and he went down

  15. The Strokes

    6 years, 1 month ago

    I have Aurier my Rival has Egan
    Never would have thought he would be in a position to score more points then me in a Shef U - Tot match ...

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I sold Egan for Aurier (-4)

      Blame me

      1. The Strokes
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Wooow hard
        But in all honesty it was a good move so don't be too harsh to yourself

        Breaking the cardinal rule of FPL - no hits for defenders!

  17. Bruce Lee

    Just saw the handball... that must be a joke right?

    Idiot refs

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Idiot rule not ref.

      1. Bruce Lee
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        His arm was 1cm away from the ball when the defender kicked it at him... is that handball?

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Yes

          1. Amey
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Unbiased opinion !

            1. Deulofail
              • 10 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              This

        2. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Any handball in the build up to a goal is the rule.

          It needs changing.

        3. @persecuted_by_mods
          6 years, 1 month ago

          He handballed it before it was kicked on him, the only argument here is was he fouled. It was soft, maybe a freekick definitely wasn't a 100% nailed on foul on him

          1. Bruce Lee
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Oh maybe I missed that, I just saw the ball being kicked at him

            1. @persecuted_by_mods
              6 years, 1 month ago

              He slaps it on his way down, I haven't seen a good enough replay to show whether he was fouled or not. Every angle I've seen shows him going down very easily

            2. Bruce Lee
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              Nvm I just watched it... his hands were out to protect his fall - he didn't handball it intentionally

              If you disagree then you need to go out, play football and get out the room

              1. @persecuted_by_mods
                6 years, 1 month ago

                Relax you clown, where did I say it was deliberate? You do know the rule isnt about whether it's deliberate or not? Suggest you stay in your room more and learn the rules

      2. Salarrivederci
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Many Refs in the VAR room is stupid though

      3. Salarrivederci
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        The blind VAR ref in SHU-Villa as an example

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          VAR doesn’t deal with GLT, that’s a separate issue.

          1. Salarrivederci
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            It is killing the game. Only offsides is objective due to the VAR refs relying on tech-guys red and White slow-mo lines

          2. Salarrivederci
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Judging a penalty ofren comes Down to which semi braindamaged VAR ref is in the room

        2. Salarrivederci
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Any Rich as-s ref with tiny to mediocre cojonas would tell the judge, that Nyland was making out with the ball and the net

  18. space mercenary
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    VAR and ill-conceived laws have ruined football as a spectacle.

  19. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    No wonder Spurs aren’t doing so well anymore, VAR has arrived. They’re probably the club that’s had the most favouritism from referees in the last few years. Kane’s goals dried up too, can’t score pens from his/Allis/Son’s dives hehe.

    1. Klaren
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      And Arsenal is doing extremely well.

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, above them now when we had a Emery till December, dropped so many points to lesser teams

  20. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Imagine not owning Soucek and Berge.

  21. Superflymonk
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Magnus Carlsen having a shocker. Goes to show how much sheer dumb luck factors into this game. His team looked great on paper.

    1. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Link to team?

      1. Superflymonk
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        you don't need one, he's 32nd overall in the world. And world chess champion.

    2. Bruce Lee
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Dumb luck is the biggest factor

    3. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Targett, Pepe, Mourinho penalty merchant striker as captain.

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Hardly looked amazing with no Man Utd but triple Villa

    5. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Luck evens out over the season

      1. Yozzer
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Rubbish.

        1. Bruce Lee
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Nah would agree with this... it is just a question of if you have the patience to stick through the bad luck

          1. Yozzer
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Makes no sense at all. You will only hear this from the obsessive player's trying to convince themselves that they have a skill ;-).

    6. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He's an upside chaser and does this by focusing on a few teams (e.g. Spurs double-up). Sometimes it goes wrong. But given his recent record, he gets it right a lot more than he gets it wrong.

    7. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Genius though didn't fancy his team this gw. Maybe he should have went more template to see the season out.

    8. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Pépé, Nketia, Grealish, Targett and Jota look like shocking picks to me.

    9. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years

      most people were slagging his team off the other day

      Robinson didn't even score or keep a clean sheet yet.. Robinson has spurs whipe kiko played vs southampton at home.
      Why would you even moan?

    2. Gentle_Turks

      Spurs as a unit looking awful. Too slow, too casual.

        Cheers. I wasn’t convinced by the display v West Ham... son going for mahrez or pulisic I think
