    Are we overlooking Matt Doherty?

    He's 4.6m with a DGW coming up and decent fixtures before then. He's still an offensive monster and his average position is very high up the pitch.

    I know Spurs defense has been unconvincing but with Romero and Lloris returning I think they could be strong.

    The price on Doherty makes it a fairly interesting short term gamble. I'm very tempted.

      I’d be surprised if Doherty started against Arsenal, Man City and also Zaha, Conte might just go for Royal

        What I learned today is that Doherty has been really good in the midseason friendlies.

        4 goals and also been training with Conte during the World Cup.

        I think he can easily just be the first choice now that he's got his fitness back.

          Spurs have at least 4 fullbacks to choose from and they switch sides too. They do have a double but they are the toughest fixtures on paper. Just have a cheeky fiver on Doherty to score instead of risking your precious FPL team.

            Incoming 15 pointer. I'm gonna roll because of the uncertain DGWs but I'm very tempted. There are so few differentials to be had and at his price he feels like a real opportunity to get ahead of the template.

              I'd rather have Shaw as a differential than Doherty

                Shaw is not a differential. Shaw is very template.

      I am looking at Doherty. While he is a great FPL asset, I don't like the uncertainty of his minutes.
