Can we trust Spurs’ FPL defenders with appealing fixtures this season?

On Saturday Vs Sheffield Wednesday

Played Vs Birmingham, full report: https://www.lcfc.com/news/1781482/foxes-begin-preseason-with-birmingham-success/featured

For me, the known quantity and Golden Boot winner while the new boys are monitored.

It depends rather how many transfers you are already booking in for weeks 2-3 imo

I'm holding off Werner until he's had Liverpool fixture - that one couldn't be worse really. It's now not just an all new attack but an all new side pretty much at Chelsea. Big ask to make that gel immediately. Also noting that both Brighton and WBA are away.

Vardy (and Kane for that matter) have a great start and allow an easy downgrade if Werner looks hot after week 3.

Sounds like some self agrandising crap that Jose would make up. Son's English is fine.
Doco could be great though.

Son speaks good English. It must be something Jose made up to get some attention

If Messi is 14m or higher I will avoid him at the start.

I don't think he's worth 2.5m more than KdB or Sterling. Both of those guys increase in value if you put Messi in because he's also an elite assister.

KdB becomes essential imo with Messi in the team and then depending how crazy Messi scores, you think about doubling.

Agreed. Coverage becoming a thing again?

Teams in La Liga or Europe have been doing the same for more than a decade now, still manages to find space and has insane stats (if they matter).. His price will be the key imo and it is actually really tricky to price him "correctly" if he joins City that is

Yep let’s see him out run moussa sissoko

I remember when Ronaldo was 14m and I refused to get him. Every week he was captained by his owners for like 20-30 points. Detroyed me

I really dislike Mourinho, but I know of his second-season syndrome, and he is getting the purchases he wants so there'll be no sulking. It does look like defensive solidity won't kill creativity too.

Agreed. Now considering a defensive double up even....

The wrinkle with Spurs is the Europa programme - they'll be doubling up early on consistently.

Wolves drew 1-1 just about every time after EL last season - can see that happening again.

Thanks for this. Didn't pay much attention at the end of last year after my rank started to nosedive and OK finish became impossible.

What could go wrong?

B plus wait and see

2 man defence?
Madds seems popular as Greenwood placeholder.

Yeah that “any 7.5” is the hard part

Think Maddison is the best placeholder for greenwood. Probably the best 1 gw fixture

get Martial and bench. Save trade wk 2 and have 2 FT for City in wk 3

Solid option, back from injury and playing, yeah, good shout.

NUFC Rotates well with Palace so just need them to be good and for a 4.0 to play too.

I’m not touching justin

Or Lescelles

I'd get Taylor or KWP

Better teams

What are the rules?

★★★★☆

Decent, especially if Brewster and Gordon get plenty of game time.

I have souchek Mitchell and the Brighton keepers but same team

Think you've answered your own question. Ings and a mate surely outscore Mo.

If anyone survives benching 10 or 20 pts of team value week one, they deserve to save a ft

Sounds like a great way to fall behind early to me

Think I'd go Salah week 1. Partly home fixture against away fixture. Ings has a tidy fixture. Mo could crush it.

2.

Sunderland ...
Ohh wait ...

Feck them for doing Poznan celebration when we lost the league in 12/13 🙂

Don't know, but Crellin might be some help.

West ham

tough one, but I would probably go B

B

B without a doubt

A

I'm planning to get 3 of the 4. Not set yet on which 3.

A

See this question a lot. Ziyech and werner

Stay with A.

Just get Saiss

Yes, AMN plus Vinegar would be lovely.

Doc leaving totally put me off him, and 3 premium defs

Probably TAA 5 4.5 4.5 4.0 now

Really

Jonny was a poorish selection both these last two seasons. The returns were all Doherty. Had Jonny over Doherty in 18/19 🙁 ;-( Then got Boly over him last season - much better play even if a losing one

Saiss for me

Tierney and Egan to Saliba and dier/Davies for me

I’d definitely get souchek in that team instead of 2 4.5s

Benching Bruno week 1 a big call.

I think I might keep him. If he plays in Aurier's position/his old marauding one, he could score very well.

I disagree on Davies vs Dier. Dier is pretty nailed and he takes some set pieces and is tall for headers at corners too.

Terrible fit imo

6 million seems like a lot for the new Aurier though

This is exactly what we were discussing an hour ago before my internet went down.
Doherty will score well at Spuds; I don't think his points total will be less that if he stays at Wolves. But both Dier and Davies come into play if Aurier's lapses at the back are history. They won't haul, but they should be good for plenty clean sheets in the opening set of fixtures, unless EL intrudes.

Doherty

Mitro if he moves

Low risk at 5.0 if not for fixtures

So you’re avoiding Bruno too then. Very wise

True but record in Czech league is crazy and has scored a few in Europe too.
At 5.0 no risk at all.

Then look at his Czech league records. Not a bad goal scoring record overall.

I think he starts, but he has been injured a bit.
I have Ritchie and Armstrong currently as the 4/5th mid,

Tough to say, depends if he stay or not.

Always been better on paper than when I have actually had him.

I see the attractions of Soucek at half over base but I'm not too sure about Ritchie as a POO (LWB) over say Ayling or Dallas.

Would not rotate Soucek/Ritchie. Just get Soucek and play every week.

Thanks

Has Hendrick's arrival threatened Ritchie's place?

Richie’s entire appeal was as a def

Rumours of the Toon making a £12m bid for Tom Davies as well.

Way too light on def and bench; just wait 2 weeks and use 2ft to sort Greenwood and whoever else you want

Neither

Tony

Thing about Antonio is, if his 4 goals v Norwich are taken out of the equation, would he even be in the discussion?

Antonio

Antonio

Too cute

Brew if he gets his loan

I’m hearing a lot of people getting excited about Keita but not sure on what basis.

Brewster if he goes on loan or none

Dier over Toby probs

I thought they have played 442 in preseason as per some posters here

Locelso further forward, Dier at CB and maybe Moura first choice RW

I’m on b

A

I, like many, have a slot for a 4.5 striker. He'd shoot up to 50% ownership overnight.

I had both and Bruno in my draft till fixtures were announced.

I am not sure about that ANDY. Raz's work rate means he misses the easier games and plays ALL the tough games. Been the trend with Pep last couple of seasons.
