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.

  2. Khalico

    Would you rather have Sarr or Kudus? Long term

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam

      sarr

    2. Khalico

      Palace Sarr*

    3. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Sarr

    4. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years

      Sarr. Kudus owner.

    5. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      11 months, 10 days ago

      Sarr

    6. MJF
      11 months, 10 days ago

      Sarr I think. But I like both of them.

  3. marcus2704

    As much as I hate having Bruno in my team, I am getting real fed up with Cucu. Any owners hanging onto him, or getting rid?

    1. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      11 months, 10 days ago

      I am keeping - look at those fixtures coming up. Many are selling though and he will drop tonight. I would get rid of Bruno. Midfield is where the points are this season. He is not cheap and he is taking the spot of somebody who could be returning for you.

  4. lilmessipran
    • 14 Years
    11 months, 10 days ago

    Gakpo+ Munoz to Gordon + Gabriel (-4)? Just have enough money to do this, long term will this hit pay off?

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 10 days ago

      Munoz could have easily got 17 points today against the current champions. That's how unlucky it's been. I'd keep.

  5. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    11 months, 10 days ago

    How reasonable or not is to stick with this one more week just doing Sanchez to Raya?
    Then WC over IB.

    (Raya)
    Porro/Munoz/Dorgu
    Bruno/Foden/Semenyo/Kudus/Reijnders
    Haaland/Pedro

    Dubravka/Gudmundsson/Kroupi/Neco

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years
      11 months, 10 days ago

      looks good one more week. i had a similar team and decided to wc though to get arsenal attack and semenyo and also fed up with losing value with players.
      gl

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        11 months, 10 days ago

        Thanks mate, yeah, pretty fed up with that back line but one more week still sounds like a sweet spot here, GL!

  6. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years
    11 months, 10 days ago

    Think I'm set on these moves. WDYT?

    Porro, Richarlison -> Richards, Gyökeres -4;
    Leaves 0 ItB

    Petrovic
    Muñoz Richards Senesi
    Salah Semenyo Enzo Reijnders
    Haaland Gyökeres Pedro

    Dubravka KDH Alderete Gudmundsson

  7. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    11 months, 10 days ago

    is Richarlison nailed?

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 10 Years
      11 months, 10 days ago

      Nope but will start more often than not whilst in form

  8. gfcc20
    • 3 Years
    11 months, 10 days ago

    Thoughts on this WC?
    Raya
    Gabriel Senesi Burn
    Saka Semenyo Sarr Reijnders Anthony
    Haaland Isak

    Dubs Thiago Richards Mukiele

    BB GW8. Deciding between Saka + Isak or template Bruno + Gyokeres.

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 10 days ago

      I'd stay away from Isak & Bruno for now after seeing both the teams today

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      11 months, 10 days ago

      No Liverpool, no Chelsea?

  9. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 months, 10 days ago

    I think they should raise the defcon bar for defenders from 10 to 12. 10 seems to easy to reach.

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 13 Years
      11 months, 10 days ago

      We all play the same rules.

      10 is fine.

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 7 Years
      11 months, 10 days ago

      Midfielders should probably be 10 and defenders 12. Either way, next season I think they should reduce the return from 2 fpl points to 1. Defcon points are a bit over the top, some players like Caicedo might end up on around 170-180 points which is ridiculous.

      1. tutankamun
        • 17 Years
        11 months, 10 days ago

        But his price will go up accordingly next season.
        It’s just this season you’ll get a bargain, make the most of it!

  10. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    11 months, 10 days ago

    is PM Sarr nailed and actually a better option than Kudus?

    1. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 10 days ago

      Wasn’t considered nailed before today and he didn’t start, so that was probably accurate! I’ll be getting rid on WC

      1. ☈☾
        • 8 Years
        11 months, 10 days ago

        Wasn’t he injured?

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          11 months, 10 days ago

          He wasn't injured when he was benched against Brighton

    2. C0YS
      • 10 Years
      11 months, 10 days ago

      Seems pretty nailed for the time being. But I’m not sure I’d bring in a Spurs attacker right now since they’re having some trouble scoring atm

      1. C0YS
        • 10 Years
        11 months, 10 days ago

        Scratch that, didn’t notice he wasn’t in the starting XI. Kudus owner here and I’d keep away from both

        1. tutankamun
          • 17 Years
          11 months, 10 days ago

          I thought Kudus was very unlucky. Keeping for now.

          1. C0YS
            • 10 Years
            11 months, 10 days ago

            Perhaps, but the attack isn’t gelling yet. Don’t get me wrong, Kudus is quality. But we’re missing that clinical finisher atm. I’d much rather have Anthony at this point tbh

  11. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    11 months, 10 days ago

    Minteh or Bruno Fernandes?

    Money not an issue

    1. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      11 months, 10 days ago

      Neither

  12. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    11 months, 10 days ago

    Who is on pens for West Ham?

    1. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      11 months, 10 days ago

      Paqueta

  13. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    11 months, 10 days ago

    FT used. Thoughts? 🙂

    Raya
    Gabriel - Cash - Dorgu
    Salah - Semenyo - Reijnders - KDH
    Haaland - Gyokeres - Pedro

    Dubravka - King - Gudmundsson - Reinildo

    0.2 m in the bank.

    Cash and Dorgu ➡ Richards and Andersen soon

  14. have you seen cyan
    • 7 Years
    11 months, 10 days ago

    There's no chance of Sels having a double price drop this week is there? Its pretty rare right?

    1. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 14 Years
      11 months, 10 days ago

      Looks like he is dropping tonight at least, i just got him out for Pope

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 7 Years
        11 months, 10 days ago

        Yea Pope is my replacement. But I want to get Gyokeres this week, and hold the Sels move until next week. But waiting on the keepers may cost me 0.2.

  15. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    11 months, 10 days ago

    Enzo or Caicedo?

    1. C0YS
      • 10 Years
      11 months, 10 days ago

      Dang that’s the most questions I’ve ever seen somebody ask. I’d advise you try to answer at least as many

    2. tutankamun
      • 17 Years
      11 months, 10 days ago

      While Palmer is out, Enzo

  16. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    11 months, 10 days ago

    Replace Sels or Cucu first?

    Thinking Sels to Pope, Cucu to Cali or Timber

    1. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      11 months, 10 days ago

      Cucu

      Pool up next

    2. tutankamun
      • 17 Years
      11 months, 10 days ago

      I have the same dilemma. I could bench both for next week but worried about losing value. Only 1 ft.
      Maybe Cucu to Gabriel.

    3. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 10 days ago

      I don’t like losing value but could bench Cucu?

      Keepers are Sels & Dubs, can do Sels to either Pope or Raya?

  17. C0YS
    • 10 Years
    11 months, 10 days ago

    Best 5.0 mid?

    1. Stach
    2. Xhaka
    3. Cullen
    4. Other

    Cheers

    1. pundit of punts

        I think this

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam

      i m planning 2 for bb gw8

  18. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    11 months, 10 days ago

    Sarr loves scoring big xG chances. Started with him this season and need to bring him back in.

    Probably should have got an assist as well

  19. MJF
    11 months, 10 days ago

    The Roefs is on fire!

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 10 days ago

      Are Sunderland going to do a Forest from last year?

  20. ae
    • 10 Years
    11 months, 10 days ago

    So... Is it finally time to admit I have been stupidly stubborn keeping Salah and refusing to bring in Haaland?

    1. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      11 months, 10 days ago

      You're not very good at predicting. 😛

      1. ae
        • 10 Years
        11 months, 10 days ago

        Evidently!

  21. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 months, 10 days ago

    Sels my biggest problem?

    Sels-Dubravka
    Guéhi-van de Ven-Senesi-DeCuyper-Reinildo
    Salah-Kudus-Semenyo-Reijnders-Dowman
    Haaland-JPedro-Gyökeres

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 months, 10 days ago

      After watching ARS tomorrow I'll decide if Salah to Saka is a good move

  22. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    11 months, 10 days ago

    Are all the high scores Haaland triple cappers? Pretty much all of the goal scorers, apart from Semenyo and Anthony (mci), were complete outsiders.

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 7 Years
      11 months, 10 days ago

      Yes. Most people probably only had 3 or 4 players return. Haaland doing a lot of heavy lifting.

    2. SalahFingers
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 10 days ago

      Sunderland keeper has been doing very well.
      All Crystal Palace defenders are all doing not bad.
      Rodon is a cheapo that many people have that's picking up DC points and an odd CS.
      A bunch have Enzo by now too.

      The higher scores are people who had a good mix of those guys... and of course triple cappers.

      Anyone with Alderete kinda got lucky, although defensively Sunderland look good value this year.

  23. SalahFingers
    • 8 Years
    11 months, 10 days ago

    Assuming Saka looks decent in the game tomorrow.

    Gakpo + Johnson (spurs) -> Saka + Anthony (burnley)

    Look decent enough? I'm sick of players that don't play full games.

  24. Whiskerz
    • 13 Years
    11 months, 10 days ago

    Early thoughts are:

    Xavi > I.Sarr

    Xavi was only ever a stop gap for the Sarr injury anyway. And it seems fixtures don't matter to spurs. They just gonna spurs.

    1. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 14 Years
      11 months, 10 days ago

      Yep, Sarr essential. I need to get him back in as well.

  25. The Reptile
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 months, 10 days ago

    Sels to Pope or Roefs (or is b too risky?)

  26. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    11 months, 10 days ago

    Last season Haaland hattty (TC) and this season Haaland (TC) today

    Erling goes into my hall of fame

  27. Supersonic_
    • 5 Years
    11 months, 10 days ago

    Richards or Guehi?
    Pope or Raya?
