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

      Currently 1 - 4 - 12

      5.6 ppg while not fully fit or starting is good going. This is why these attacking defenders are so good. Their ceiling is so high that one explosion can carry them for weeks.

    Perisic has to be nailed after this. Best player on the pitch after Nunes.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He is pulling all the strings

  5. FPL Daniel

    After two weeks of pain, I sold Perisic this week…

  7. Randaxus

    What's the likelihood that after the game that Conte says "we need to improve"

  8. Drip Doctor

    Kudos to those of us who remained patient with Perisic. Stomached the price drop. This is the reward.

    Precision passing from Spurs

  12. Bielsa's Bucket
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Perisic was always a silly sell - Conte said he wasn't match fit. Now he is.

  13. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Neto Blank again. Lmao

    This game makes me sick.
    I was the guy telling my mates to stick to Perisic but then I'm missing the deadline and so I end up being the only one who didn't line him up
    😀

    Peresic 2 assists, hardly played many minutes, shows his quality

    9. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      No Fofana for Leicester, he is gone to Chelsea most probably

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        asked to drop him for this game

    10. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Why is Soutuncu on the bench ?

  21. Daniel The Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I had Perisic for the first 2 game weeks. Took him out due to uncertainty and Sod’s law, he starts and is currently sitting on an assist and a clean sheet! Typical.

    1. HollywoodXI

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years

      Bailey will do a Perisic now.

      1. G-Whizz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      How many hundreds of thousands of transfers and articles were wasted on Bailey? Lol

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Too many...

        Some so called influences also calling out hindsight merchants on Twitter for picking Andreas over Neco Williams.

        There's more than 1 way to play this game. Pereira always a good shout too.

    4. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Sess and Richarlison coming on

    5. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years

      Lol Bailey starts Unbeliavble

    6. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Perisic CS banked.

    7. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Might get Bailey now
