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.

    A Trent & Antonio > Digne & Martial
    B Salah & Antonio > Bruno & Martial

    1. Dacra
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No.

      1. Visionaries
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks

    2. Botman and Robben
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I don't like either.

    3. Bank$y
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I like B. Those Hammers are gonna fall

    4. Pukki Blinders
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I’m tempted by B in my own team also... getting rid of Salah off a hattie doesn’t feel right though

      1. Visionaries
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly. It's either stupid or shrewd

  2. Brosstan
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Feel bad for that guy with 4 Spurs players :p

    1. Check out my Umtiti's
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Thought that was you

  3. Dele
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Dele to JRod or Greenwood?

    1. Dacra
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'm gonna wait and see, maybe keep Dele if he'll play next week, 2ft after 2 games when we know more would be nice.

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 1 month ago

        so much this. 2FT next GW could be massive

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      6 years, 1 month ago

      will JRod start for Burnley ?

  4. Ghost Ship
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Mourinho’s done isn’t he? Ahead of his time for a while, now on the downward slope to becoming another arsene wenger.

    1. Dele
      6 years, 1 month ago

      My enjoyment for football is dead thanks to this man.

      His game management is shocking, I’ve honestly had it with him.

      1. Ghost Ship
        6 years, 1 month ago

        He’s a lesson to us all. Had more charisma than I’ve seen in anyone. Now just complains what the world has done to him.

  5. Weeb Kakashi
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Ings could as well score against Spurs.
    Might as well keep instead of Martial.

    1. Neves say Neves
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, especially as Palace looked strong at the back

  6. ☈☾
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Miguel playing BB in GW1 with WC in GW2 now sounds like the best strategy

    1. have you seen cyan
      6 years, 1 month ago

      its not, I BB'd and im only on 58

  7. lordkippe
    6 years, 1 month ago

    59 with Werner to go decent ?

    1. F4L
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes good score.

    2. Zimo
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes!

  8. TKC07
    6 years, 1 month ago

    1. Kane => Martial?
    2. One more chance to Kane.

    1. TorresMagic™

      1

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

      Martial, can’t bear watching Spurs

  9. keefy59

    6 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone who is unsure in bringing in any of our assets , our next 3 fixtures are
    WBA (h)
    Palace (a) &
    Brighton (h)
    I'm looking to avoid hits so planning
    TAA (2 difficult games Che a & Ars h ) for Digne freeing up funds for
    Ward-Prowse to James or
    Ings/Mitro downgrade/ upgrade to DCL later on
    As for Man City & Utd I'm prepared to wait & see

    1. Dacra
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Everton fans excited, wouldn't be surprised if today was your only win in these easy fixtures!

      1. keefy59
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah we've been there before but this time with sensible £20m or so signings & a much respected manager it might be a bit different

    2. Flaming Flamingo
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Taking TAA out is an accident waiting to happen

  10. JamTart
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Haven't seen him play yet, but think I'll regret going Alli over Havertz

    1. HNI
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Havertz is good but will take time to develop, Just wener is good enough chelsea cover

  11. fauxfatale
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Got Toby, Son and Kane. Who should be the first to be kicked out?

    1. Party time
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Kane imo, would help you free up some cash

    2. Bank$y
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Toby

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      6 years, 1 month ago

      The Manager

  12. KEN YA DIG IT
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Lol at those who got alli in their teams just because of watching a boring amazon documentary

    1. Balls of Steel
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Let's see your perfect squad!

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      6 years, 1 month ago

      a bit childish ?

  13. Easy Cheesy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Kane was awful. I wanted to roll a FT but now kane -> martial/ mci striker appealing.
    He does however have captainable fixtures in gw3 and gw5.... argh

    1. Coys96
      6 years, 1 month ago

      We were awful. Kane didn't get a sniff in. It's us that makes Kane a bad option, not him

    2. HNI
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Kane to Vardy

      1. Easy Cheesy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Got vardy, and werner. Went big up top knowing one would fail (with a mass of cheap mids to make up the price!).

  14. Coys96
    6 years, 1 month ago

    When I said I was relying on pickford I was joking!

  15. HNI
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Son stats looked decent today. Dint see the match so anyone seen was he actually good? Son has soton next against who has 2 in last 2 so really tempted to hold off kdb/bruno for one more gw...Thoughts?

    1. HNI
      6 years, 1 month ago

      2 goals in last 2*

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

      I'd hold Son. It's Alli who got hooked at half time that I have. Not happy. I think I'll likely move him on. Foden, Greenwood or Hames all looking like nice options.

      1. HNI
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Hames???

        1. HNI
          6 years, 1 month ago

          If you James Rodriguez then his injury record puts me off

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

            He looked very comfortable today in the PL. Quality. 3 shots as well, nice creativity.

      2. Pukki Blinders
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Hooked because of Injury, spurs clearly missed him in the second half

    3. waltzingmatildas
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Son didn't look terrible but Spurs did

  16. Gudjohnsen
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Salah 40 points.

    Rest of team 21

    Only Werner and James left to play with Justin first on bench.

    1. HNI
      6 years, 1 month ago

      My team exact story!

    2. Coys96
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Auba & Pickford 21
      Rest of team 14

    3. Hairy Potter
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Captain pick can make or break a game week. It's something I'm going to think about a lot more going forward in terms of choosing and transfers.

      1. One Man
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Wise comment.

  17. Neves say Neves
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Any ideas?

    Mccarthy
    TAA | Doherty | Justin/Vinagre
    Auba | Salah | Son | Pereira | Soucek
    Werner | Adams

    Bench: Fodder and Justin/Vinagre

    Slight fires to put out are Spurs players and Pereira.
    Would like to get some Manchester players in too.

  18. StayoutheSpiceZone
    6 years, 1 month ago

    It’s weird how 60 is deemed a good score when people on here around 50 are planning wildcards! 10
    Points Is one player having a good week!

    1. have you seen cyan
      6 years, 1 month ago

      60 is terrible, 60 is when your googling how to delete your team

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        6 years, 1 month ago

        66 average can win FPL so how is 60 be terrible?

    2. waltzingmatildas
      6 years, 1 month ago

      On 20, not using wc though!

  19. FOO FIGHTER
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Alli to

    1. Donny VDB
    2. Willian
    3. Rodriguez

    1. F4L
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Rodriguez is the only who is nailed, so him.

      1. RomeluStormzy
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Everton have good fixtures too. James was quality today.

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

      The options are:

      Greenwood, Hames and Foden imo. At least for me those are the only 3 I'm considering.

    3. Neves say Neves
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'd be tempted to wait until Greenwood and Foden play but if you feel that Alli must leave your team ASAP I'd go 3. Arsenal's fixtures after next week are dodgy

  20. Weeb Kakashi
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Alli injured?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Good chance

  21. EgyptianKing
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Mates think it’s likely that Ramsdale outscores Vinagre tomorrow?

    1. Zimo
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Hmmm I'm guessing a 0-0 scoreline

  22. ☈☾
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Can Havertz, Pulisic and Vinagre save my GW?

  23. Old Gregg
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Make it stop.....

    Just read Ali had a knock/injury.. Obviously I’ll wait for an update but.

    McCarthy
    Dier-Taa- Taylor-Egan
    Harertz-Ali*-Auba
    Adams-Werner-martial

    4m-Soucek-Biss-Mitchell
    3m ITb

    a) Adams > dcl
    B) Soucek > J Rod
    C) Soucek > Greenwood
    D) Ali + Adams > rashford/Greenwood + Dcl (-4)
    E) anything else

    1. Hairy Potter
      6 years, 1 month ago

      D if you don't mind taking a hit.

  24. Hairy Potter
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Want to ship Saliba. Which of the below looks the best option going forward?

    A) Coleman
    B) Keane
    C) Lindelof
    D) Shaw

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Justin and save 0.5

  25. Party time
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Who to captain next gw? Quick poll here. Thanks!

    1. Hairy Potter
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Martial

    2. Zimo
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'm going Werner. Full confidence in Liverpool to help me

    3. F4L
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Auba, play the fixtures with captaincy.

    4. Locarno
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Auba. By some distance.

    5. GreennRed
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Aubameyang. Ings v, so far!

    6. Pinturicchio10
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'll pick Aubameyang again. Rashford kinda tempting though.

    7. FOO FIGHTER
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Salah.

    8. Holmes
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Auba for one last time...

      1. Party time
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Hehehe

    9. Pukki Party
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Salah

    10. Amey
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Auba

    11. SHOOTER MCGINN
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Auba

    12. Party time
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks Lads. Auba locked in

    13. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Has to be Auba but think Bruno is not far behind

    14. Carefree Crew
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Auba NOT Salah, check his stats versus top teams when playing away mate. Compare that with Auba at home.

  26. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    32 points with 4 to go. Tough start!

    1. GreennRed
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No game was lost at the start..

    2. waltzingmatildas
      6 years, 1 month ago

      20 points with 3 to go! It could always be worse 😉

  27. Pedram
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Any news on Alli's injury?

    1. Locarno
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs doctor just came out said: "Sadly, I can confirm he's shite at football."

      1. GreennRed
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Clueless doctor. Lazy footballer is what he meant.

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

      Tactical change confirmed by Mourinho

    3. fauxfatale
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Was he actually injured, or just useless?

    4. Pukki Party
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Crapititis or uselessitis

  28. Ghost Ship
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Great week, what do I do now?

    McCarthy
    TAA Robertson Mitchell Justin Holding
    Salah Auba
    Vardy Richarlison Ings

    Bench is pure fodder

    Thinking I should hold but can’t see keeping Ings or two Liverpool defenders for long. Don’t have any Manchester players either.

    1. RoyaleBlue
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'd stick for now

    2. Ask Yourself
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Just massage those massive balls of yours

  29. Krafty Werks
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Thank you Son for your important cameo in my team, you know where the door is, enter Bruno Fernandes, nice to have you onboard son, i hope you enjoy your stay?!!

    1. Flaming Flamingo
      6 years, 1 month ago

      If he blanks will you show him the door as well? 😛

      1. Krafty Werks
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Not at all, my plan from the off was to play Son GW1 and see how he goes? 1.5ITB for move to Bruno if he blanks?...which he has, easy decision now. Bruno i'm hoping will prove to be a season keeper?

        1. Flaming Flamingo
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I was only joking. May even get rid of Son myself, albeit it feels a bit wrong. We'll see.

  30. Niho992
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Are you keeping Son or selling?

    No money ITB so Gwood is only United asset i can afford. Thinking about James too.
