What Spurs’ pre-season friendlies mean for their FPL attacking assets so far

Fantasy Premier League managers have now had the chance to watch Spurs on three occasions ahead of the new season – so what have we learned?

Jose Mourinho’s men come into 2020/21 with one of the most appealing set of fixtures, so interest in their attackers has been high.

Making sure we are invested in the right assets is important, so I have assessed some of the key talking points from pre-season, using some information from 2019/20 and Project Restart to back it up.

            Just 130 points at around the 6m mark when it's inevitable that form will force transfers is so unappealing. Wood goes on much whole half seasons without scoring.

            Everyone up front at that price point is a crapshoot. Rotten

                I doubt it too actually, I thought he played more last season but didn't actually have many minutes.

          We’re looking at almost the same here

          Difference would be losing Doherty to Davies and putting Mitro in midfield . Haven’t juggled numbers yet to see what can be done there. But on principle I don’t want doubke 6.0 up top.

          Unless and until Bats goes to Palace 🙂

            Actually mate, there are at least options in that range to swap around.
            Midfield below 8.5 is sh.tshow till Soucek IMHO.

            Hence I'm looking at that Midfield. But i love Vardys fixtures.

              Chilwell gone too bothers me. But Vardy is my lucky player. Got me respectability in 2018/19 and I’d have blasted it last time had I kept faith to the end and not sold him for Mo.

          Palace will be interested I guess and may win out perhaps just because they are likely closest to offering him a run in the PL - what Klopp will want. There’s no competition really - Ayew has done great but is really a winger and that’s all we have right now.

          Would personally prefer Bats

      Not sure they had it easy, but it may be hard to perform for a 3 Rd season in a row. I fancy Man City for the title this year. That said, I'm going with Salah from the off. Easier to downgrade than having to find funds if he does start well.

    I've decided to go without Salah and Mané (I know, I know) in favour of other premium options.

    I expect the two of them combined to score somewhere between 35-40 goals combined again, of which I predict TAA and Robbo will assist around 50-60%. Is this a viable strategy?

    I can't think of any other premiums besides possibly United who have this level of point scoring alternative in the starting XI.

    Puzzled why people prefer Mitro to Adams - almost unanimously.

    Adams had a season to match Mitro in his last season in Championship. He has better fixtures, is cheaper, plays for a way better team and began to look hot in the PL.

    There’s an awful lot of weight being put on a pretty humdrum season 2 years back - exact equivalent of Ayew last time. Really don’t see Fulham playing attacking football

                I'm not 100% sure where Ritchie will play or if he's definitely nailed. At 5.0 he could be worth a punt.

      Chelsea and ManU following a strategy at the moment to load up on attacking mids - merely gaps in their teams or trying to emulate ManC?

    Is Dohertys Wolves replacement already in the squad or are they in the market? Saiss potentially moving to wingback Is good value at 5.0 if so!

      No chance Saiss plays there. Traore and Vinagre would be my bet for GW1, but expect them to strengthen in the wing back area.

    No TAA until gw4 is the plan, too risky?

      You can get a better defence even without TAA. Drop one of the 12m mids.

        I will be dropping one of them to Bruno so the 1.5 will be used to do that.

          Just get Bruno right away and use the 1.5m to fix the defense now. Will save you a lot of transfers.

    Mates any feedback here?

    McCarthy
    TAA; Davies; Dier; Vinagre
    Salah; Auba; Son; Ziyech
    Werner; Mitro

    Some considerations:
    —> Ziyech to Greenwood after GW1 (I can start with Soucek instead of Ziyech, have 2.5 itb at least to do the Greenwood upgrade)
    —> Auba to KDB after GW2

    At that point I would have either 0.5 or 1 in the bank and will consider doing Son to Rash, Son to Pulli or Ziyech again, keep Son and save FT (decision would depend on form).

    Sounds a decent plan in your view?

        Yeah, will do so.

        Will very likely do that spot (currently Ziyech) to Greenwood after GW1, as mentionned.

        So if Ziyech seems to be out for GW1 I think I’ll go with Soucek and have 2.5mio itb to do the upgrade.

    Anyone else waiting for Bats to get a gig? I’d have him as the king of the 6.0s.

    I know Chelsea fans are sniffy - perhaps with reason for them - but he was great at Palace alongside Zaha when he went there. Can see him adding plenty almost wherever he went.
