Doherty makes Spurs debut as Everton hand starts to three summer signings

Following on from Leicester City’s 3-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion, the second Premier League match of the day sees Tottenham Hotspur take on Everton.

Kick-off in north London is at 16:30 BST.

The headline team news is that all five major summer signings from these two clubs are handed their full debuts today.

Matt Doherty (£6.0m) makes his Spurs bow at right-back, with Serge Aurier (£5.5m) relegated to the bench.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (£5.0m) also slots straight into central midfield, as expected.

Having not featured for the Lilywhites in pre-season thanks to self-isolation and international duty, Harry Kane (£10.5m) is back to lead the line.

Son Heung-min (£9.0m), Dele Alli (£8.0m) and Lucas Moura (£7.0m) will support the England international in attack.

All of Everton’s three summer signings make their full debuts, with central midfielders Allan (£5.5m) and Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.5m) selected in Carlo Ancelotti’s starting XI.

James Rodriguez (£7.5m) also makes the cut, despite having started just one league match in the last 11 months.

Son and Doherty are the most-owned players on show here, with both players boasting double-digit ownerships.

Kane was the fourth-most-popular captaincy pick in Gameweek 1, with just over 300,000 FPL managers handing him the armband.

Richarlison (£8.0m), who may well be occupying a wide-midfield role based on Everton’s starting XI, is the only Toffee with an FPL ownership of over 10%.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Doherty, Alderweireld, Dier, Davies, Hojbjerg, Winks, Dele, Lucas, Son, Kane.

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Mina, Keane, Digne, Allan, Gomes, Doucoure, Rodriguez, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.

        If, like me, you had both and captained Auba you got 34 points in total (Auba 14 + Salah 20).

        If you had both and capped Salah you got 47 points in total (Salah 40 + Auba 7).

        47 - 34 = 13

        Quick maths.

    Spurs look solid this season, but that Everton team could be anything.
    I expect Allan to be solid, but if Doucoure and Rodriguez click, Everton could have one hell of a season.

        A lot of top 10k will have played a chip, I imagine, so you have to figure that into the equation too.

        Usually settles down by about GW5 as some of the big scorers in GW1 will blank in GW2 and vice versa.

      Monitoring XG can be great fun - primarily to see just how much a load of old bollocks it really is

      According to XG - Liverpool’s defence was exemplary yesterday (0.32 XGc) and Salah (0.4 non-penalty XG) was below his average (0.5 non-penalty XG) from last season

      It’s mildly interesting to peruse retrospectively for sure

      But for FPL decision making? It’s classic placebo effect nonsense, whoever created it was a marketing genius
