Our 2024/25 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) team previews continue with Spurs.

The Lilywhites are one of only six sides to have competed in every campaign of the Premier League. 2024/25 is their second season under the management of Ange Postecoglou.

In these team guides, we’ll be looking at the best players from each club for the upcoming campaign. We’ll also take a stab at predicted line-ups for Gameweek 1, review pre-season and more.

The data and graphics in this article come from either our Premium Members Area or Statsbomb, with whom we are partnering in 2024/25.

Fantasy managers can get access to the wealth of Statsbomb numbers, as well as the usual Opta stats, exclusive articles, transfer planner, tools and app, with a 40% discounted Premium Membership today.

SPURS: REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL

Spurs finished the league in fifth last season. They were also fifth for goals scored with 70, despite losing Harry Kane the day the Premier League season started and not signing a direct replacement.

The side from north London also had decent, if not league-leading, underlying numbers. Spurs were sixth best for expected goals conceded (xGC) and seventh for expected goals (xG)

The free-flowing attacking football that ‘Ange ball’ brings is definitely a reason to be cheerful. Spurs’ underlying attacking stats look promising, especially with the added goal threat of new signing Dominic Solanke (£7.5m):

Solanke scored 19 goals for Bournemouth in the Premier League last season. The forward netted these from the 414 chances that Bournemouth created, the ninth-highest tally in the league. Spurs on the other hand created 460 opportunities, the fourth best in the division, up from 386 in 2022/23.

    What do we think is the most powerful / common fallacy or bandwagon the engaged players (myself included, I’m not pointing fingers) fall into?

    I think it’s the excitement of “new”.

    If Solanke and ESR had moved 6 weeks ago I don’t think they would have become as template as they will. A few who were very excited about Rogers a month ago will go for Carvalho now.

    Two years ago Gabriel Jesus was absolutely essential, previously Timo Werner was essential.

    I think it’s the same in reverse for Salah. Because he has been FPL gold for so many years, I think people subconsciously get bored of picking him and we have 2-3 pre seasons now and all the arguments he’s non essential even though he’s remained consistent.

      They would be more template because they’d have more preseason minutes.

      Jesus was “essential” because he was cheap and he did very well.

      More than a third of the game own Salah, seems to be in most RMTs on here too.

        Fair enough if you don’t think there’s an emotional bandwagon.

        It completely baffles me that Salah isn’t the most owned player in the game with Ipswich GW1. Salah + 2.5m vs Haaland to me is a complete no brainer

          Had a poor (for his standards) end to the season, so people see him as past it. Plus Liverpool have Jota and Diaz for almost half the price.

          City don’t really have an alternative, plus they have Chelsea who might be worse than Ipswich.

          There is more options now that can match Salah & Haaland , so ppl looking at Jota + 5m , Saka + 2.5m, Foden + 3m, Son + 2.5m , Palmer + 2m Vs Salah etc

            Agreed but I think most of what you said is actually a good reason to start Salah.

            Jota + 5m - I think Jota is a great pick in his own right but a long way away from being certain enough to play medium term to be a “Salah replacement”

            Unclear on Saka and Palmers immediate minutes, Saka not idea early fixtures and we know Foden isn’t play 90 mins against Chelsea.

            So make the most of Salah against Ipswich and if he’s not essential so can literally transfer him to anyone.

            If he is essential transferring INTO Salah is harder

      He might play even higher in GW1/2 as a false nine like in the community shield until Zirkzee is up to speed and will be gold at nr.10 if Utd can get Ugarte or someone similar, still worth 8.5m imo as a nr.8 with pens that is nailed and ticks over but lots more exciting and cheaper options in that case like Gordon/Eze/Jota etc

      Far too much on the bench imo given the cheapest of the front 8 is £6.5m. The England boys not certain to all start - most have very little pre season, Foden and Watkins literally none.

      Pep has basically said Foden won’t start this week.

      If I’m honest I think this needs a reshuffle, not getting sufficient upside to go without both Haaland and Salah

      The article has made me think, maybe, Romero over Porro and get another 4.5 def.

    Anyone feeling that Gvardiol attacking output might be dminished on last season when considering Doku/Grealish and even Savio. Anybody reckon otherwise?

      Yeah I’ve never got the love tbh - could even see some time at CB as others settle back in. For me Gvardiol over a VVD seems odd to me.

    if you could have any defender for first 3 GWs (aside from TAA or Munoz) who would it be? White (Wolves H, Bou a, Brighton H) or Porro (Lei a, Eve h, Newcastlea)? Want a placeholder for Robertson/Mitchell GW4

      You are talking quite different prices so hard to compare. Mitchell 5m and white 6.5m
