The most-anticipated Premier League fixture of the weekend sees reigning champions Manchester City take on Tottenham Hotspur, as Nuno Espirito Santo begins his reign as manager. (We’ll be following the match live and discussing key points in a live YouTube watchalong).

For the home team, Harry Kane (£12.5m) misses out completely with Son Heung-min (£10.0m) set to lead the line in his absence.

The South Korean international has impressed during pre-season and has an excellent record against Man City. In fact, he has only scored more goals in all competitions against Southampton.

Japhet Tanganga (£4.5m) starts at right-back, a role he was trialled in during last weekends friendly win against Arsenal, alongside Davinson Sanchez (£4.5m), Eric Dier (£4.5m) and Sergio Reguilón (£5.0m).

Dele Alli (£6.5m) features from the off, too, with new arrivals Bryan Gil (£6.0m) and Cristian Romero (£5.0m) both having to settle for a place on the bench.

As for Manchester City, new signing Jack Grealish (£8.0m), owned by 24.4% of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers, starts for the visitors in north London, with Riyad Mahrez (£9.0m), Ferran Torres (£8.0m) and Raheem Sterling (£11.0m) completing the forward line.

Kevin De Bruyne (£12.0m), meanwhile, is on the bench with John Stones (£5.5m) and Kyle Walker (£5.5m), while Phil Foden (£8.0m) misses out with a foot injury as expected.

Kick-off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is at 16.30 BST.

    I don't know why but keeping Mahrez in my team is giving me awkward vibes... I'm having the feeling he's gonna be benched

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Keep imo

      1. El Presidente

        Yeah probably just roll the dice right

      Saving energy for Arsenal and Leicester?

      This is a possibility, i going without city this week because of the uncertainty. Mahrez hugs the touchline so much and then when he gets the ball he is about 20 yards away from doing anything. Prefer grealish tbh but i would mahrez if i had him

    4. jack88
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      My guess pep will start jesus, kdb, graelish, mahrez

    5. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      My guess

      Ederson
      Walker - Stones - Dias - Zinchenko
      KDB - Fernandinho - Grealish
      Mahrez - Jesus - Sterling

    6. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Only worry I'd have is he didn't look like he played great from what I saw (most of the game) and supposedly wasn't great against Leicester, so slight chance he'll be dropped. But seems like Pep is intent on Torres as a striker so I don't think he has much competition now. If you have him going into Norwich as long as you have a decent cover I wouldn't get rid

    7. Blueberg
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Surely you knew the risks when you picked him? Don't go against your planning after 1 gameweek... atleast you don't have gundo.

      Next week will not be the same players who score hat tricks or bag quadruple assists. Stick to your plan.

    8. diabydoesgallas
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I’d get rid. Every year I get tempted by city players and it turns out a complete disaster lol. They’re tempting for the price/potential but the risk with minutes/starts just isn’t worth the hassle imo.

  2. pundit of punts

    Any quotes on the Gundogan injury?

    1. Davros
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      “It was something in his shoulder," Guardiola said of the German midfielder. "We will see what happens tomorrow with the doctor. it looks like something happened.”

      1. pundit of punts

    1. Doctor Evil

      I did

    2. jack88

      Do it. Arsenal Have horrible fixtures

    3. Brosef Stalin
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Was really confused by all the pre-season RMTs that had White in. He's bedding into a new team and has awful initial fixtures

    4. GMBC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I would hold - Phillips and Llorente missing will take time to settle. And Liverpool GW4

    5. Blueberg
      • 10 Years

      Waste of a free transfer.

    6. noquarternt

      1. RedAlpha10
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Tuchel confirmed in post match interview Lukaku will train the whole week and start vs Arsenal

        1. Gomolon
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Pep would never, Tuchel

        2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Do you have a source? I saw someone say he's going to join training from tomorrow but didn't hear him saying he'll start against Arsenal

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      very... if you've decided on that route though I'd rather the option of Willock or Traore over Armstrong.

    3. HuttonDressedasLahm

      WC??

      1. Squib
        • 8 Years

        Possible

    4. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      What are you changing to get to this?

      1. Squib
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Would be over a couple of gameweeks- switching out Gundogan, Barnes, TAA, Ings

      Total legend and one that wasn’t appreciated enough. Very sad to hear

  8. alsybach
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Are we expecting havertz to regularly start for Chelsea? Or shall I just transfer him to grealish right now??

    1. jack88
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Both of them will be rotated throughout the season

    2. Davros
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Depends if his name comes out of the hat. And of course as other CL games kick in…

    3. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I think havertz starts but i feel he turns provider for lukaku now rather than a scorer

  9. tom2224

    Barnes > Benrahma?

    1. jack88
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Save

  10. svgcr
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Who would you bench next GW?
    A) Barnes
    B) Coufal
    C) Raphinha

    Deciding my bench is a nightmare until Robertson is back.

    Currently benching Barnes and amartey, and somehow it feels wrong.

    1. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      B

    2. GMBC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I’d bench Barnes - away from home the other two play at home

    3. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Coufal definitely
      Just conceded 2 to Newcastle

    4. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      B, lots of goals between West Ham and Leicester in recent years and West Ham have been pretty poor defensively for a while.

  11. Miami Monkey
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez (Foster)
    TAA Shaw Tsimikas (White Amartey)
    Salah Bruno Greenwood Barnes (Brownhill)
    Ings Antonio Toney

    0.5 still left in the bank. Save the transfer? I had Son in every draft leading up then removed him for Greenwood/Toney last second because for whatever reason I didn't feel comfortable using a 442. Now I want him. Could do Greenwood/Toney --> Son/4.5 for -4. Thoughts?

    Or something more simple like Greenwood/Barnes --> Benrahma?

    1. GMBC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Greenwood has an amazing fixture coming up. Could hold and make the switch to Son GW3

      1. Miami Monkey
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        True. Just need to monitor prices for Son and Benrahma/Sarr

        1. GMBC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          1m is worth about 20-25 points entire season.

          IMO not worth taking a -4 point hit worrying about a 0.1m rise

  12. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Fellow non-Bruno owners
    What’s your plans?
    Sticking or panicking?

    I haven’t even seen game yet…. Was he that good or semi-lucky?

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Leeds were really bad but he was clinical as he generally is, he can finish from nearly anywhere. I don't have him, tempted to move Son to him and go back to Son the week after but I think I'm just best to leave it. I'm convinced he'll haul against a Southampton that look awful but I don't think using two transfers is worth it and MU's fixtures after that aren't great (GW3 and 4 are good but after that is a little rough possibly).

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Interesting
        Not worth a hit for me and not selling Salah, so sticking unless something happens to my first 11 in the week

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      sticking for now. unsure what to do with barnes and mahrez

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I have Barnes too. (Didn’t see game) went Son over Mahrez though due to nailedness, and he’s a season keeper maybe

      2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I have Barnes too but think he'll be fine, West Ham didn't look great at the back today and he has Norwich the week after. He's still working on getting back to full fitness too

  13. Starvaiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Who would you rather have, A) DCL, or B) Richarlison

    1. MOZIL
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A, on pen

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        rich is on pens

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Both look good, but Benitez is prioritising playing to DCL strengths from what I saw, loads of crosses, getting the ball in the box and DCL in and around the 6 yard box. For consistency I'd pick DCL for now.

      Plus people have been mentioning issues with Brazil's International fixtures for GW4 and possibly impacting GW5 as well.

      1. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I was going to say B until I read this which seems to make sense

  14. George James
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone considering Gundo >> Pogba tonight before he rises?

    1. Wet Bandits
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      I came on here looking to see if anyone else had the same idea..

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Having trouble here since I have no intention to have Jota vs Chelsea.

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      That is no brainer atm imo 😉

    4. Drogba Legend
      • 8 Years

      I really want to wait but would obviously regret it if he’s out and miss out on price changes

    5. noquarternt

      No brainer.

      I’ve got gundo but already 3 Man U :’(

    6. H.E. Pennypacker

      I already did Barnes to Pogba this evening.

    7. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Pogba have not shown any consistency last seasons would not transfer gw1

  15. fusen
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I thought players prices didn't change for the first week of so in terms of transfers?

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      After 9 years?!? Really?

      1. fusen
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I'm sure at some point on FPL history they locked prices for the first week or so, so loads of transfers happened and no one rose

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      They change before GW2.

      Bad advice my friend. GW2 is as unpredictable as GW1 and if your GW1 team didnt deliver this week then I shudder to think what your GW2 team will do, 17 weeks before your next WC and circa 30-32 before a nice DGW.

      1. Doctor Evil
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Got 90 points but it’s a game and it’s what do last few seasons and always finish well. Each to their own bud

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

              40k
              140k
              75k
              In the last 3 seasons since doing it. It works for me, I know it’s not too 10k but I’m happy

      How do you qualify it hasn’t failed you?

      1. Doctor Evil
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Personally I always listen to the stuff on here too much at the start and then after the first games make a change to gut feelings. I know it’s a big no no on here but my rank has always done me well

        1. Old Bull
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          But listening to others on here appears to have got you 90pts.

          1. Doctor Evil
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Lol you do realise that everyone that had Salah and Bruno got that right? That’s half everyone’s score

    4. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Ok

    5. Gomolon
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Do you always bench boost game week 1 then?

      1. Doctor Evil
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Nope I save the chips for double game weeks.

    6. Doctor Evil
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Big if but if Lukaku hits the ground running, Pogba keeps form and Mbeumo does what expect after the first game then I’ll see you below 🙂

    7. Abaddon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Strange tactic. But whatever floats your boat.

    mahrez owners, barnes owners, what are you doing?

    1. jack88
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Keeping. Why the heck anyone would sell mahrez. Spurs away us a tough game

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        just doubting whether he starts or not.

        1. Gomolon
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Why wouldnt he? He's had a full preseason and other key players are still coming back

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Didn't help him much today.

    2. diabydoesgallas
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Barnes owner, keeping for now. If city don’t sign kane then torres is tempting.

    3. Gav
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Have Barnes and keeping. I don’t expect whu to keep a clean sheet so decent chance to get something

  18. Leew35
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Save FT?

    Bachmann, Foster
    TAA, Tsimikas, Shaw, White, Digne
    Salah, Bruno, Barnes, Raphina, Brownhill
    Toney, Antonio, DCL

    Unsure on Barnes
    Thanks in advance

    1. Old Bull
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Do you really need to ask that question? Stick.

      1. Leew35
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        over thinking barnes

        1. Old Bull
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Barnes played ok yesterday and looked good in preseason. I’m keeping.

  19. FPL Bargain
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Too early to do Buendia to Benrahma?

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Wait till 23.55

    2. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I’d wait

    3. Old Bull
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yep

    4. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I would do that one he looked amazing

  20. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Which one is the best free transfer

    Barnes to

    A Benrahma
    B Grealish
    C pogba
    D save transfer

    1. Old Bull
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      D. Treat this game as a crime scene. Don’t be too hasty until you have enough evidence.

  21. Starvaiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Do we think Amartey is getting dropped for Vestergaard?

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

    2. GMBC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      More chances of 3 ATB IMO

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Certainly

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        But whether that will happen is another story... Formation change possible.

  22. Flair
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Tskismas may well rise twice this GW, wow.

    1. Simon69
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      People must be confident that Robbos out for a while.

  23. BENOIT
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Mane --> Bruno?

    Should I bite the bullet?

    1. Kobayashi
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Personally, I would. Just one less thing to worry about!

    2. Simon69
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      If you have Salah then it's an easy move.

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Anything in bank?

    4. GMBC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes - or Son as a differential option

    5. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, I think everyone should save FT this week, only exceptions being:

      - Injuries etc mean you can’t field an XI
      - To buy Bruno
      - To buy Salah

    6. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Nightmare to be without

  24. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Barnes

    Anyone moving him on already? Might not even start the next game and looked very unconvincing (although it’s literally one game) Greenwood is very tempting or Benrahma if you needed the money for a future upgrade?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Why is he not going to start? He's not injured is he?

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Kelechi and Daka lurking..

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Knew this from prior GW1 though

          1. Magic Zico
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            *prior to

      2. Champions League Varane
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Kelechi is wayyy too good to be left out for long

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Not according to the boss

    2. H.E. Pennypacker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      already done Barnes to Pogba this evening.

    3. Gav
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Easy save transfer this one.

  25. Simon69
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Fiercely tempted to do Jota > Greenwood. Have this vision of Dyche's purple army sitting deep on Saturday afternoon.

    1. GMBC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Same conundrum

  26. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Would be unlucky if Gundo were out injured, original plan could be derailed. Early thoughts on the replacement?
    A. Greenwood
    B. Mbeumo
    C. Benrahma
    D. Bergwijn
    E. Torres
    F. Other?

    1. GMBC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A.

    2. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Probably C if not keen on Pogba?

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Not keen on Pogba, no

  27. CrouchDown
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Will Tsimikas keep his place?

    I thought he looked poor from what I saw

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He was ok, fitness seemed to be ... for 4.0 I would not be too bothered unless really want 3 LIV

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Wut? He was excellent for 65 minutes then got leggy. He'll lose his place to Robertson when Robbo's fit, he'll start every game up until that point.

      1. Mr.K
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Excellent is pushing it but I think he'll get better if he gets a few more starts. But you're right about Robbo and that's pretty much all that matters here. Not like he's gonna lose his place to anyone else either.

    3. diabydoesgallas
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Klopp said he was impressed with him for 80 mins, but he ran out of steam for the last 10. Which says to me he’s safe for now.

      1. Mr.K
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        He had a good pre-season too, I think he might play some games even after Robbo's return, but probably not worth keeping at that point.

    RIP Gerd Muller.

    Truly amazing striker.

  29. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Salah or Bruno captain?

    1. mcginnntonic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      i’m going bruno

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Whatever the captain's poll says

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Both will score equal points ... pick your favourite footballer 😛

    4. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      is the question literally everyone is asking

    5. diabydoesgallas
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Salah always the one.

    6. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Salah in front of Anfield crowd for first time March 2020

  30. mcginnntonic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Barnes to
    A) torres
    B) Gundogan
    c) Greenwood

    1. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Gundogan might be injured

    2. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Barnes will start and get minutes any of the others are uncertain.
