Ivan Perisic will finally get his full Tottenham Hotspur competitive debut this afternoon as the Lilywhites prepare to face Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Kick-off in north London is at 12:30 BST.

Perisic in for the benched Ryan Sessegnon is one of two changes that Antonio Conte has made, the other being the enforced swap from Cristian Romero to Davinson Sanchez.

There are summer signings also making their first starts for the visitors, too, as Goncalo Guedes and record signing Matheus Nunes get the nod.

Joao Moutinho is also back from injury to feature.

Hwang Hee-chan and Leander Dendoncker both drop to the bench, while Morgan Gibbs-White has departed for Nottingham Forest.

Perisic was one of the most-sold defenders of Gameweek 3, with just under 300,000 managers transferring him out, although still sits in a healthy 16.6% of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) squads.

Pedro Neto and Son Heung-min, both starters this lunchtime, were jettisoned by a similar number.

Dejan Kulusevski, by contrast, was snapped by just short of half a million FPL managers, resulting in a second price rise of 2022/23.

GAMEWEEK 3 LINE-UPS

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Sanchez, Dier, Davies, Emerson, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Perisic, Kulusevski, Son, Kane.

Subs: Forster, Doherty, Richarlison, Gil, Sessegnon, Tanganga, Moura, Lenglet, Bissouma

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Sa, Jonny, Collins, Kilman, Ait Nouri, Nunes, Neves, Moutinho Podence, Guedes, Neto.

Subs: Sarkic, Jimenez, Hwang, Boly, Semedo, Toti, Dendoncker, Traore, Cundle

    So, Bailey > Perez was the move!

    1. OverTinker
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Bailey to some 4.5 is the best move

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Florentino?

  2. Egg noodle
    • 16 Years

    Captain Kane gona haulllll

    1. el polako
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I certainly can see it happening.

  3. More Tragic
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    3-0 to Spurs

  4. Goodfeathers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Finally Perisic starts!

  5. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I captained Salah and he is listed as a differential on live FPL lol

  6. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    In my team this week my 4 differentials are listed as Ederson Cucurella Saliba and Salah, I am feeling good this week.

  7. Siva Mohan
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    0-1 Wolves

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A wonderful, if impossible, dream.

  8. Arteta
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    It's almost time for Pedro Neto to punish the non believers.

    1. banskt
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I am a non-believer and I want him to punish me.

    2. OverTinker
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He is so poor that he can't even punish

  9. Tcheco
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Kane(C) 😡

    1. THE Wild Rover
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Good luck us 🙂

  10. jonnybhoy

    4 years, 1 month ago

    Looking ahead to next week I really want Toney. Worth doing the following it has big risk though.

    TAA + Archer to Toney and any def upto 5.9m?

    1. Randaxus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      TAA is one of the greatest FPL players of all time, fpl focal showed in a video that TAA is 100% of his top 100 mangers.

      1. Randaxus
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        100% owned by*

    2. banskt
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No. It is not suggested and a big risk.

      But, I did it anyway. I understand this is a blunder in FPL terms and I don't care about a decent FPL rank.

  11. Mr Arsenal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    The difference in size between the two teams is striking.

    1. Tcheco
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It’s how you use it

  12. FOO FIGHTER
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is it a good or bad thing when LiveFPL says you have 10 differentials and 61% template rating?

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It's a good thing. If you believe your current selection of players is best way to maximise points, then you don't want anyone else to have them either.

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I think too many triple ups is a detriment.

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I don't care about triple ups, EO, balance, price points, flexibility, team value etc.... I just want points, whatever that means for the team.

          1. banskt
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            This. Completely agree. I do whatever I think will give me the maximum points.

            I also don't listen to other people's opinion.

    2. OverTinker
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Something fishy - some coding error may be then

      1. Ragabolly
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        No errors. Differentials are relative to your rank tier, template rating is relative to the top10k template.

        1. OverTinker
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Thanks for the explanation

    3. banskt
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I think LiveFPL template rating has some bugs. I have exactly zero Liverpool players, and still 68% template rating. That should be way less, even if all my players are heavily owned.

      1. Ragabolly
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        68 is not very high tbh and it must be that your other players are templatey too. I use the same recipe for calculating template ratings as the last two years, this year the template is stronger and it's harder to get a low rating

        1. banskt
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Thanks for the clarification. Appreciate your response. I am interested to know your recipe. Is the theory written up somewhere?

  13. Piggs Boson
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Time to see how good these new Portugese talents are. Guedes and Nunes could flip Wolves' fortunes around and turn them into a top half team again.

    1. banskt
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Excited to see how Guedes plays.

  14. Gubby-Allen
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Where am I differing with others that I cannot afford Salah, but I can't even afford Diaz at 8 million?

    I see all these teams and experts who have Salah and Haaland, a few even have Kane too.

    I have a template type team with players everyone seems to have, but the second most expensive is Kulusevski at 8.1.

    Edersen, Heaton
    Alexander-Arnold, Cancelo, James, Perisic, White
    Martinelli, Kulusevski, Rashford, Aaronson, Ward-Prowse
    Haaland, Jesus, Mitrovic.

    Bank 1.3M. Selling Rashford of JWP only gives me about 7.8.

    1. Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Bench way too expensive. Premium keeper.

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Surely you should be selling Rashford? I'd keep JWP, who I expect to get a return today.

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Your bench is way more expensive than most around here

    4. banskt
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      You have your money spread over your squad and a very costly bench. Those other teams that you are looking at have a threadbare bench: Neco (4.0m), Andreas (4.5m) and another 4.5m player. Thats 13m only.

    5. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      You have spread your budget far too much. Most do not have a 5.5 GK, most have 4.0 as their cheapest defender, most have at least one 4.5 mid and and a 4.5 forward.
      If three forwards, many have two 4.5 mids instead.

      All that adds up significantly

    6. Siva Mohan
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      you need 4.0, 4.0, 4.5, 4.5 to get Salah

    7. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Bench is too strong
      Particularly this season with 5 subs, your 2nd and 3rd bench players will rarely come into play

  15. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Come on (C) Kane, lets do this!

  16. OverTinker
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    When was the last time wolves scored 2 goals? I mean in a single match ofcourse

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      last season at SB .. Coady late equaliser

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Also 2 nil to Wolves at Spurs last season and a 0-0 at home.

  17. el polako
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Pedro Neto on right wing to expose Perisic defensive shortcomings, Conte to sub Croatian off early.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      You can see it too

    2. OverTinker
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Hoping for a 59:59 sub after picking up a yellow. Then he will be available at 5.3

      1. Fitzy.
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        You'd pay that for a player who doesn't play 60 minutes?

        1. OverTinker
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Yes

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I can smell your fear.

      1. The Mentaculus
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Does it smell like truffles?

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          He's got the legs on him

      2. el polako
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        It's not fear you can smell, although it starts with F too.

        1. The Knights Template
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Fluffles?

        2. Siva Mohan
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          finger chips?

        3. el polako
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Fishy Pole 🙂

  18. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    As a non-owner I'm not loving how high Perisic is sitting when Spurs are on the ball

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      and then Neto scores!

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He's a left winger by training

  19. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Captaining Son in the opening game would be a bold move.

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      don't have good memories of (C)ing a player from first game

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mark?

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        A few on here speculating on doing it as a differential.

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I haven't actually watched a Spurs game yet but I haven't seen him look too involved on MOTD, only 1.1 xGI before today in 2 games where they scored 6 goals, has he looked lively and it just hasn't looked like it in highlights?

      1. The Mentaculus
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Nothing v Chelsea, a couple half chances v Southampton. Still looked like it was Son more than Kane that was taking up the more dangerous positions in the box though

      2. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Spurs were good in the first game.

        Son and Kane involved in it but little reward.

        I've not watched too much of last week's beyond the highlights.

  20. tim
    • 17 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Pretty 50/50 w Salah n Jesus (C) in my ML.

    Mini Portugal midfield looking super sexy..if only they can find a proper goalscorer

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mou should manage this mini-Portugal team after Roma .. would be fun

    2. The Knights Template

      Ronaldo!

      1. Paul Psychic Octopus
        • 15 Years

        Lol.

        Only as player manager and only if Wolves in CL.

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Think he's joking

      Perisic getting the next one

  23. EDUARDO DA SILVA
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Son is such a selfish diver

    1. OverTinker
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Have you seen any selfless diver?

  24. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Surprising that Son is on free kicks. Thought Perisic would take them. And it takes Son out of the penalty area.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Perisic may come to the fore slowly

  25. Zenith UK
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    First corner: Son.

  26. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Will be eventually I'm sure, Son is awful at them
