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

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

        You ideally don't want ANY below £5.0m though.

        Too much value in the big team defenders!

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I have 3!

        2. TheBiffas
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          When Brentford and Brighton have such good fixture runs 4.5m for a few 6 pointers will do me

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 8 Years

    8. PelePelz9
      • 5 Years

      Brighton or Brentford defender

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

      Ait Nouri looks pretty good

  2. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Traore looks even more jacked!

  3. pablo discobar
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Kulu very unfortunate with no returns today.

    Perisic looked to be limping a little on way off? Hammy tweak was it?

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

      It’s not hammy imo. He was showing his ankle but looked nothing serious

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Agree ... few potential assists wasted by Son and Kane

  4. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Hitting the balls point blank should be a yellow card, that is unsportsmanlike conduct

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Unsportsmanlike conduct isn't even a foul

      1. Randaxus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        you know what I mean it was a joke lol

      2. Randaxus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        From Wikipedia "Unsportsmanlike conduct is a foul or offense in many sports that violates the sport's generally accepted rules of sportsmanship and participant conduct."

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

    Justice would be Spurs conceding in extra time

  6. Zalk
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Bailey back in the team

  7. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years

    3. Rainer

      Goal in an August early KO, they can't complain!

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years

      i feel your pain...

    2. FPL Daniel

          Where's the smooth?

      2. Athletic Nasherbo

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Bailey, Neco, Andreas, Perisic and Neto.

      Derided a week ago - 5 starters today.

      Fickle game, innit

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

        Maybe it's a game where patience is rewarded too?

        Unless we're talking about Digne, and if we are, then I have no sympathy for anyone who picked that troll lol

        1. Cruyff's Eleven
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah I kept all 5 though I had to suffer a week of heckle, given I'm OR 4,5M 🙂

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

            C'mon now, you know OR is meaningless right now and no I'm not saying that because mine is 4.1m 😆

            Which amounts to 50 odd points off top 10k...

          2. G-Whizz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights

    4. Randaxus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      This is how you win with no effort.

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

        It’s easy when you have Perisic

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

          And Kane

    5. Zalk
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Hahaha, perisic on 35 now. He just keeps refilling those waterbottles like a champ.

    6. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Perisic 35 bps now

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

        Get in juhuuuuu

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        He's actually gone from 29 > 33 > 35, what 😆

        1. Cruyff's Eleven
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Van Gogh wasn't appreciated during his life either.

          1. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Love that!

    7. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Are wolves the best sh*t team in the league?

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

        Everton?

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

        Wolves are decent, probably behind Palace atm because of a lack of goals.

      3. OverTinker
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yes would be happy if they gets relegated. Zero excitement

      4. FantasyTony
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Harry Kane: Most goals scored without a trophy in the PL?

    8. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Kane out of the bonus completely now after that stupid yc. 5 points is a captain fail.

      1. A. PRISE
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        That's why bonus points are stupid in general. It's basically a way for fpl towers to manipulate the game

        1. thegaffer82
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          That’s what people said about the old ‘man in the stand’ system

          1. Baines on Toast...
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            The main problem with the system is the double negative incurred by things that already cost points.

      2. Sergio Giorgini
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        But might yet be adjusted no?

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

          Still only provisional, yes...

    9. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Cucurella: early transfers in
      Perisic: waiting for pressers/late transfers, held since GW1

    10. LosBlancos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Any thoughts if Grealish starts VS New?
      Seeing a lot of Foden Haaland Mahrez but I think Pep may go with the gw1 set-up of Grealish Haaland Foden, as Foden said he prefers to play RW and for some reason Pep isn't the biggest fan of Mahrez

      1. Sergio Giorgini
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Why do you say that? Mahrez played almost all of their important fixtures last season

        1. LosBlancos
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Never seems to be nailed

    11. Royal5

      Kane Bap

      1. Stranger Mings

        Hope he keeps it

      Excellent performance by Perisic.

      Andreas, Bailey and Ward next

    13. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      How many will Perisic start in the next 3?

      nfo (sunday)
      whm (Wednesday)
      FUL (Saturday)

      After these 3, spurs face city?

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years

        2

      2. Monklane
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        That is the question.

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

        First choice now, Sessegnon rubbish last game and Perisic already on 2 assists. Could keep starting and coming off 60-70 mins in.

        1. pundit of punts
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          There surely is a benching there somewhere

      4. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        If he really did feel something in his leg, would think they'd save him for the West Ham game & let Sessengon take Forest.

        After that performance if he's fit, can see Spurs wanting him to start though.

        1. pundit of punts
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          This is exactly my thinking

          Think he's on the bench vs forest

          He's in don't buy don't sell category now

      5. mdm
        • 14 Years
