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.

      I’ve got 3 players in these!

  2. laGan1n1

    3 years, 8 months ago

    Lloris, Perišić and Kane!

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

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

  3. They are eating the dogs

    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
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      the best Tot player today

      1. Winston.

        this

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 8 months ago

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

      • g40steve
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Spurs dodged about 5 cards today!

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

          They didn't get any cards against Chelsea either 😀

      • Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Very weird post. Must have sold him.

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

    3. ☈☾

      How was Kulusevski? Worth keeping?

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

        Did Kulusevski start? 😉

      2. More Tragic
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Richarlison will take his place soon

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

        2. Van der Faart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          More likely to take Sons place

          1. Maeki2
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Yes Son worst so far

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

        quality, unluck to not have support after often finding space

      4. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yes. Spurs most dangerous attacker today.

      5. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 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, 8 months ago

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

      7. Urban Cowboy.
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

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

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

        No reason to ditch

      9. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 8 months ago

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

        • Winston.

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years

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

          1. g40steve

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

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

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

      13. Winston.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

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

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

          Need to wait for them to play first before deciding

      14. Scapegoat Salah

        Perisic punishing the sellers!

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

          Don't tell Bailey and Mount

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            I sold Bailey too!

        2. boc610
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

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

      15. Free Hat
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

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

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

          Collins looks awesome

          1. Free Hat
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

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

      16. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Digne to Perisic or hold the knees?

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 8 months ago

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

          • Totalfootball
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Hold em knees
            Perisic to be rotated in the next 3

          • g40steve
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Who owns Digne?

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

            I would. Digne is troll and RC to happen.

          • Maeki2
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

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

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

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

            Digne to Dunk or Mee and run with the money

                  3 years, 8 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, 8 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, 8 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, 8 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

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

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

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

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

                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, 8 months ago

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

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

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

                      1. Deulofail
                        • 10 Years
                        3 years, 8 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.

                          *"would" not "wouldn"

                      3 years, 8 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.

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

                        1. Bobby Digital

                          3 years, 8 months ago

                          Ummm ok...

                        "...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.

                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

              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, 8 months ago

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

            3. Quality Quality Qualit

              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.

            4. Boomerang V

              3 years, 8 months ago

              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?

                  • 9 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  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, 8 months ago

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

                • 8 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

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

            5. FC Hakkebøf
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Which trio?

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

                • 4 Years
                3 years, 8 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.

                • 10 Years

                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?

            7. Gubby-Allen

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

              So Robbo need 7 minimum to match those that took a hit for Perisic right?
