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.

    Easy call to get Alli out. Alli > Greenwood it is.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Either him or Willian (WHU)

      1. Strchld
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Dont like Willians fixtures after WHU

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Auba to go with those fixtures and he can represent ARS in my team, happy enough. Greenwood may get rotated?

    LOL at me for picking Spurs players

    1. Brosstan
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Told myself one of the things I would do this season was not get fooled into buying Spurs attackers. Here I am with Kane anyway...

      1. Keep Calm and Play On
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Tbf he is probably the best option but I think I’m getting rid of all of them

  11. Botman and Robben
    6 years, 1 month ago

  12. Gudjohnsen
    6 years, 1 month ago

    1. TheSteel
      6 years, 1 month ago

    2. Here is Cash, give McGinn
      6 years, 1 month ago

    3. Babelcopter
      6 years, 1 month ago

  13. Rainer
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Jose won’t love Dier after that.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Jose loves none

      1. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 1 month ago

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

    6 years, 1 month ago

    Spurs need to take a leaf out of Everton's book and invest majorly in central midfield.

    1. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      They be broke. Could only afford Hojberg

    2. TheSteel
      6 years, 1 month ago

      They did. Berg, Lo Celso, Hojberg

  27. Vazza
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Dear Mr Son

    Can you please rise up to the occasion?

    Best regards
    Vazza

    1. Apwilkin
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Careful. The last time I kindly asked him that he got me a red card when he was my captain.

  28. BenDavies
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Spurs look absolutely terrible. Surely Mourinho's final top level job?

    1. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      ManU should have been it for Jose. Levy stupid enough to give him another shot

  29. Locarno
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Winks off. All three of his owners must be gutted.

  30. Gudjohnsen
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Son overpriced at 9?
