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

      Yes I've not nobody playing in them.

    2. Dammit_182
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I’ve got 3 players in these!

  2. laGan1n1
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Lloris, Perišić and Kane!

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Well done. I'm happen to be on a green arrow with just Perišić played so far.

  3. Football is home
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Perisic was lucky today. He should receive yellow card in first half. His assist was no look pass. The only reason for Perisic transfer is his schedule and the price rise that will be caused by same knee jerkers who subbed him out last week.

    1. laGan1n1
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      the best Tot player today

      1. Winston.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        this

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      3 years, 11 months ago

      That's how dangerous a not 100% up to speed Perisic is, be afraid

    3. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Spurs dodged about 5 cards today!

      1. Zalk
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        They didn't get any cards against Chelsea either 😀

    4. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Very weird post. Must have sold him.

    5. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      It was a near post flick on inside the 6 yard box. V dangerous and as old as the hills as a move in football.

  4. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    How was Kulusevski? Worth keeping?

    1. Salarrivederci
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Did Kulusevski start? 😉

    2. More Tragic
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Richarlison will take his place soon

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Based on?

      2. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        More likely to take Sons place

        1. Maeki2
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Yes Son worst so far

    3. eish
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      quality, unluck to not have support after often finding space

    4. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Yes. Spurs most dangerous attacker today.

    5. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah, he was better in general play than Son and Kane. He is their main creative threat it seems.

    6. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Kane nearly scored from his pass. Very good second half and better than Son.

    7. Urban Cowboy.
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Thought he was their most dangerous looking player on the ball.

    8. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      No reason to ditch

    9. @persecuted_by_mods
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Watched the whole game, looked average, better than Son though. Kane was probably best of them

    No one played yet & dropped 138% eek

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Consider yourself lucky. I don't think I can mathematically drop that much.

      1. g40steve

      You must have had a very high rank before this week

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

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Going to look back on his trophy less career & think what if.

  8. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    A. Cucurella or
    B. Walker?
    Which one ? Your opinion ?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Need to wait for them to play first before deciding

  9. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Perisic punishing the sellers!

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Don't tell Bailey and Mount

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        I sold Bailey too!

    2. boc610
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      yeah and now he's crocked. his minutes will clearly be manged by conte

  10. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Was worried with Coady leaving,
    But Kilman Collins looks like a good partnership at the back.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Collins looks awesome

      1. Free Hat
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Didnt really know him, but yeah, was impressed. Pity about the kane marking, but bit unfortunate

  11. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Digne to Perisic or hold the knees?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Do it now, right now. Then you won't overthink it

    2. Totalfootball
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Hold em knees
      Perisic to be rotated in the next 3

    3. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Who owns Digne?

    4. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I would. Digne is troll and RC to happen.

    5. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      No reason to hold, he passed the eye-test by far and plays in midfield

    6. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Wait for news. Perisic was feeling his hammy after he came off & after match finished he walked around pitch with a bit of a limp.

      Might be fine but a silly risk if there's something up.

    7. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Digne to Dunk or Mee and run with the money

    Will I feel the same at the end of this week?

      1. Deulofail

        Yep

        1. Flaming Flamingo
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          I only asked to wind you up. The team looks good!

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            Oh. I never considered it a possible wind-up, because the team is just so slick

    2. Soto Ayam
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Happy with saka? I'd love to keep him, but if he doesn't impress today, I'll consider shipping him.

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Surely too early to sell unless he looks actually bad. Potentially on pens and the fixtures are great. Team is playing free-flowing football which could easily see him involved in more goals than last season. If his minutes start to get eaten by Nketiah, Vieira and/or Nketiah, then I might start thinking about it

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          And ESR

        2. Soto Ayam
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Cheers. It's a tough call with juicy fixtures on the horizon. Personally I'll consider moving him to gross which allows meet to being James into def

          1. Soto Ayam
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            Good luck and hope your team scores well

              • 10 Years
              3 years, 11 months ago

              Thanks! I don't see anyone I want to upgrade right now so that makes it easier. Good luck to you too!

  17. Mr. O'Connell
    • 14 Years

    Shame about Baileys short term fixtures. Looks a season-keeper at that price.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years

      Assume all the upvotes are as genuine as my post.

      I would say Diaz would be my slight preference at this point. But they still gatsta play ennit

    Robbo & Bailey > Peresic & Rodrigo

    1. OptimusBlack

    2. Baps Hunter

      Easy Y for Perisic at least

    3. Maeki2

      Lol these kneejerkers already.

  20. abaalan
    • 10 Years

    Knew should have got Perisic in.
    And now for my actual transfer I present Bailey out (going to haul isnt he!)

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Go with your gut

  21. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Son was overperforming his xG... is he regressing to the mean now?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      3 years, 11 months ago

      He's feeling the pressure of being priced as a true premium

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      What is 'the mean'? It's HIS mean. If is mean is overperforming xG, then regression would be to that, not to the mean mean for all people who play football, because that includes me!

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Well you could say that his xG is the mean and he's regressing to that.

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Nope. That's exactly what I'm saying it's not. The xG is the mean of everyone else.

          1. Bobby Digital
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            Loo no it's not. It's based on Son's scoring situations, shots taken etc...

            1. Deulofail
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 11 months ago

              1 xG for Son = Son wouldn be expected to score 1 goal if he were the AVERAGE player. The average goals for Son, however, given the expectation that the average player would score 1, is actually HIGHER than 1.

              1. Deulofail
                • 10 Years
                3 years, 11 months ago

                *"would" not "wouldn"

          2. Bobby Digital
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            Expected goals (or xG) measures the quality of a chance by calculating the likelihood that it will be scored from a particular position on the pitch during a particular phase of play. This value is based on several factors from before the shot was taken.

            Google

            1. Deulofail
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 11 months ago

              Sorry, but you don't understand xG, so I'm moving on

              1. Bobby Digital
                • 8 Years
                3 years, 11 months ago

                Ummm ok...

            2. Zalk
              • 15 Years
              3 years, 11 months ago

              "...the likelihood that it will be scored from a particular position..."

              By ANY player, that is. It's not based off of Son's ability to score from that position. That's what he means. It's still a pretty good indication though, other wise Son would continue to outscore his xG, which he isn't...so far.

      2. OverTinker
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        K

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      He overperforms it season after season. But even last year there were phases when it was frustrating to own him. He'll come good at some point

    4. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Very poor

    5. Josh.E

      dominoes had to fall

  22. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Perisic is gonna come with risk. Buy my goodness he's worth it. Proper attacking threat. He's virtually part of the attack. Essential?

    1. Boomerang V
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      only if you play at least 4 in the back with Taa, Cancelo and James being more
      important immo

    Perisic is such an intelligent skilful player, although he signalled the bench he was smiling after the game so I don't think that he has a serious injury.

    If Bailey scores it will be funny, I ended um wild carding, not just because of him obviously but he played a a big role. The other was Neto. At least he blanked 🙂

      So not holding 2 budget players persuaded you to wildcard?

        not only that. I was unhappy with my team structure with 3 premiums. I had no flexibility so I WC

          Which cheaper enabling players did you get instead?

            • 9 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            well I had Andreas, Bailey and Neto. Now I have Andreas and Xhaka

    2. Traction Engine Foot

      I kept him but he's second on my bench, definitely going to score.

  25. FC Hakkebøf

    Which trio?

    A) Ramsdale + Robertson + Rodrigo
    B) Sanchez + Robertson + Mitrovic
    C) Ramsdale + Cucu + Diaz

    1. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Depends who else you have in your defence, other Arsenal or Liverpool?

    Perisic is a troll and I am absolutely here for it.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      He'll rotate too so will be the most talked about up and down.

      Depends if Conte thinks winning the Champions League is easier than the Premier League?

      Just Ward, so that will be 1 or 2 points max for my first player of the week.
