Another Saturday, another later-than-late kick-off as Tottenham Hotspur v Wolverhampton Wanderers gets underway at 20:00 BST.

TEAM NEWS

It’s easier to compare the Spurs team to last weekend’s XI rather than the much-changed side that Thomas Frank sent out in midweek.

There are two alterations from the Gameweek 5 line-up, both of them notable from a Fantasy perspective.

Pedro Porro drops to the bench, so in comes Djed Spence at right-back.

Further forward, Xavi Simons reclaims his place as Wilson Odobert makes way.

Vitor Pereira, by contrast, has had his head turned by the midweek EFL Cup win over Everton.

There’s only one change from Tuesday’s XI, as Jean-Ricner Bellegarde is replaced by Joao Gomes.

LINE-UPS

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Vicario; Spence, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bentancur, Bergvall, Palhinha; Simons, Kudus, Richarlison.

Subs: Kinsky, Danso, Tel, Gray, Johnson, Porro, Odobert, Sarr, Scarlett.

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Johnstone; Doherty, H Bueno, Krejci, S Bueno; Munetsi, Andre, J Gomes; Arias, Strand Larsen, Hwang.

Subs: Sa, Moller Wolfe, Agbadou, Arokodare, R Gomes, Toti, Bellegarde, Lopez, Tchatchoua.

    Is Salah out for Saka for a few weeks a good idea? Arsenal fixtures improve and Liverpool just are not looking great this season at the moment and Salah is 14.5m. I do think they will destroy United though and Villa are not looking that good either. Alternatively, Sarr in for Salah and upgrade Guiu to Gyokeres or even Salah to Saka and Guiu to Gyokeres, but I wonder if that is too much Arsenal then and I also wouldn't be able to afford to bring in Joao Pedro for Isidor.

    1. PartyTime

      Always a risk but could pay dividends. Do I trust Saka more than Salah even with more favorable fixtures? No.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        6 months, 19 days ago

        I suppose the common sense approach is to see how Arsenal do tomorrow and if Saka even plays or not. I am not sure he has even played a full match this season yet? Having no Liverpool attack would make me nervous though, even if they are not at their best this year.

      Keep Salah

      1. Hughes Your Daddy
        • 13 Years
        6 months, 19 days ago

        I know they wont play us every week, but he was pretty poor today. Really thinking about selling now.

        1. The Big Fella
          • 9 Years
          6 months, 19 days ago

          Great win today - congrats mate

      I'm playing free hit next week so I can try before I buy with Arsenal attack & get Salah back for that MUN fixture.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        6 months, 19 days ago

        Yeah that United fixture is the one stopping me pulling the trigger on selling him. West Ham could go either way as Arsenal's attack has not been looking super fluid the last few weeks (looked better first 2-3 matches of the season) but West Ham have looked shite too.

      Salah not worth it. Don't know why people keep holding on to him. Had he not scored some lucky last minute goals, he would be like 5% owned. He is not the main of Liverpool anymore. I like salah to sarr and guii to gykoers

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        6 months, 19 days ago

        He always pops up with last minute goals though. This is why he has been one of the best players in the league. My concern is more that he has not been looking at his best in general and Liverpool do not seem to be clicking this season. Complacency maybe?

        1. jacob1989
          • 4 Years
          6 months, 19 days ago

          Yes. He is not looking sharp nor are liverpool. I think isak coming in has disrupted them more as Ekitike was their best player. Wirtz has been a flop. Gakpo looked good but too much rotation now.
          The only impressive ones have been gravenberch and szobo

    5. GoonerSteve
      • 16 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      I've just gone the other way with Palmer and Ekitike out for Salah and Gulu, lol.

      Liverpool will improve and Salah will start scoring, I reckon.

      1. jacob1989
        • 4 Years
        6 months, 19 days ago

        Well this is the issue. Its salah plus fodder vs semenyo + j pedro for eg. And u don't need salah as c as now Haaland is going to be c by everyone anyways

      2. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        6 months, 19 days ago

        Before Chelsea? What was the thinking there?

  2. JBG
    • 7 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    I have VDV for his attacking returns anyways

  3. The Reptile

        If you consider 1 point to be a haul, then yeah, it’s incoming!

  5. chocolove

    Xavi time is ticking

    1. chocolove
      • 15 Years

      Safe for now

  6. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years

    I wouldn't be surprised if Bergvall got an assist for one of his throw-ins soon.

  7. Manani
    • 14 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    on WC, need 1 more mid, 8m max

    Reij Saka Semeyno Kudus xxxx
    Gyo Haaland JP

    thinking Sarr?

    1. lespaul
      • 16 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      I'd like to think Eze

    2. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Gotta be Sarr

  8. g40steve

      Yay, 1 point cameo for me.

  10. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Players I am looking forward to getting rid of on my GW8 WC:
    Sels
    Porro
    Munoz
    Bruno
    Wirtz
    JP

    Sels will probably be the one that gives me the most pleasure to sack off!

    1. GodIsGreat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      I see Pool vs Chelsea being s high scoring game with JP getting a brace.

    2. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Why Joao Pedro? I am considering bringing him in!

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        6 months, 19 days ago

        Yeah, he’s been better than most of the tripe I’ve had so far.

    3. Tony Soprano
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      JPs ownership os terrifying though

  11. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Spurs had like 20 corners and all have sucked

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      i know arsenal kinda mastered it but im not the biggest fan of just everyone crowding around the gk. like prefer seeing runners from deep going onto the ball with pace and purpose, and jumping higher. oh well

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        6 months, 19 days ago

        I do too. Much harder to mark a player running into the area and onto the ball than a standing target.

      2. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        6 months, 19 days ago

        Yea, need to mix it up instead of doing the same thing over and over and hoping someone gets on the end of it.

    Another game Thomas Frank subs one of the FBs...

    Rodon dream is over

    1. _Greg
      • 16 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      I just had to sell Darlow, Rodon and Gudmundsson for - 8 because my mini league does not allow Leeds players. Got Roefs, Richards and Esteve. Could of gone Reinildo or Hickey perhaps but it's OK.

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        6 months, 19 days ago

        What foolishness is this?

        1. _Greg
          • 16 Years
          6 months, 19 days ago

          Yeah they really don't like Leeds United.

          1. jacob1989
            • 4 Years
            6 months, 19 days ago

            Who cares about mini league? Why waste -8?

            1. _Greg
              • 16 Years
              6 months, 19 days ago

              I've been in the same mini league since 2006.

              1. jacob1989
                • 4 Years
                6 months, 19 days ago

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      This is the kind of game where Spurs don’t score at all.

  16. Kaneyonero

    My defence this week 2 0 1 0

    1. Mr. O'Connell

    4. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      That’s usually my strikers, until I got Haaland.

      I would have got a jammy CuCu

  18. krzys

    3 defenders played - 4 points
    2 defenders benched - 24 points

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      This is the way.

    2. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Me entire bench has 3 points

      1. Vasshin
        • 7 Years
        6 months, 19 days ago

        1, 2, 1, -2 so total of 2 points on the bench 🙂

  19. LarkyTown
    • 14 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    This season can bite ma shite

    1. lespaul
      • 16 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Remember when you could pick from Gerrard Torres drogba lampard Bale Rooney van persie Aguero Silva.
      Now it's Haaland or Salah

      1. lespaul
        • 16 Years
        6 months, 19 days ago

        Ok maybe not Torres

  20. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    All fart, no Ku

    1. tutankamun
      • 16 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Kudoesn’t

    2. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      He got 2 assists last game

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        6 months, 19 days ago

        You can get an assist from a fart, but to score a goal it needs to be a full on poo

  21. Vasshin
    • 7 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Which is better:
    1. Sels to Pope/Vicario/Petrovic and Xhaka/Stach/kdh(8th forward on the bench)
    2. Sels to Raya and King(8th forward on the bench)

  22. ShaunGoater123

  27. ZimZalabim

  28. gfcc20
    • 2 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Which one?
    A) Isak + Saka + Thiago

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      b

      by all accounts liverpool didnt sound great today. have to wonder how much slot would put that down to missing ekitike

  29. chocolove
