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

    Best defender for 4.7? Except White & Neco!

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I like the Wolves guys

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 17 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Dunk

      Dunk.

      1. Rainer
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

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

        Too much value in the big team defenders!

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I have 3!

          4 years, 1 month ago

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

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 9 Years

            I hear that!

            How much is Ben Mee?

    5. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      4 years, 1 month ago

      Going with Mee

    8. PelePelz9
      • 6 Years

      Brighton or Brentford defender

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

      Ait Nouri looks pretty good

  2. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Traore looks even more jacked!

  3. pablo discobar
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month 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
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

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

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

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

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

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

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Unsportsmanlike conduct isn't even a foul

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

        you know what I mean it was a joke lol

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

    Justice would be Spurs conceding in extra time

  6. Zalk
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Bailey back in the team

  7. DRIZ ✅

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

        Why would you be injured?

    3. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

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

    4. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years

    That Everton team looks abysmal

    1. thegaffer82
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Looks aren’t deceiving in this case!

      1. G-Whizz

    That warm fuzzy feeling I have after captaining Son and transferring Perisic out this morning,

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      i feel your pain...

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years

      Rough with the smooth

      1. @persecuted_by_mods

        Where's the smooth?

    3. Athletic Nasherbo

      Ouch.

  10. Cruyff's Eleven
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month 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
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month 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
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month 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
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month 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
          • 9 Years

          Well played...

  11. Randaxus

    This is how you win with no effort.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It’s easy when you have Perisic

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 17 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        And Kane

  12. Zalk
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

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

  13. OPTA FPL
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Perisic 35 bps now

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Get in juhuuuuu

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

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

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Van Gogh wasn't appreciated during his life either.

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

          Love that!

  14. FantasyTony
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Everton?

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

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

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

      Yes would be happy if they gets relegated. Zero excitement

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

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

  15. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. thegaffer82
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

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

        1. Baines on Toast...
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

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

    2. Sergio Giorgini
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      But might yet be adjusted no?

      1. G-Whizz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Still only provisional, yes...

  16. mixology
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

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

  17. LosBlancos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month 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
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

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

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

        Never seems to be nailed

  18. Royal5

    Kane Bap

    1. Stranger Mings

      Hope he keeps it

    2. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      None

  19. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Excellent performance by Perisic.

    Andreas, Bailey and Ward next

  20. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month 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
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      2

    2. Monklane
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      That is the question.

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

        There surely is a benching there somewhere

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

      1 provided injury not serious

    6. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Would expect him to miss GW5 but who knows.
