Tottenham Hotspur face Aston Villa in the first of two Premier League matches to take place this Sunday.

Kick-off in north London is at 14:00 BST.

TEAM NEWS

Thomas Frank makes just one change to his Spurs side, with Djed Spence coming in for Destiny Udogie at left-back.

The Italian is absent from the matchday squad.

Further forward, Mathys Tel impressed in the Gameweek 7 win over Leeds United and keeps his place, so Richarlison is once again on the bench.

Randal Kolo Muani is also named among the substitutes.

Aston Villa bring in the fit-again Amadou Onana and Evann Guessand for the benched Lamare Bogarde and Ollie Watkins, who picked up an injury while on international duty with England.

Tyrone Mings is not fit enough to be part of the squad.

*There has been a late change to the Spurs starting XI, with Cristian Romero injured in the warm-up. He is replaced by Kevin Danso.

LINE-UPS

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Vicario, Porro, Danso, van de Ven, Spence, Bentancur, Palhinha, Kudus, Simons, Odobert, Tel

Subs: Kinsky, Richarlison, Gray, Bergvall, Johnson, Sarr, Kolo Muani, Byfield

Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Pau, Digne, Onana, Kamara, Guessand, McGinn, Rogers, Malen

Subs: Bizot, Maatsen, Lindelof, Barkley, Watkins, Sancho, Buendia, Elliott, Bogarde

    Kudus hattrick with Porro assists will do

    1. DeSelby
      • 3 Years
      9 months, 19 hours ago

      No.

    2. AC/DC AFC

      9 months, 19 hours ago

      No idea on this one

      1-1?

      Just have Romero so would take a goal from him too

      Spurs can go second with a win.

      Until Liverpool beat Man U.

            It has but he got the goalscorer & the assist the wrong way around

        2. DeSelby
          • 3 Years

          1-1.

            Oh yeah, Romero RC also please.

              • 10 Years
              9 months, 18 hours ago

              At least that's not happening now!

              Mind, you can be booked from the bench if it kicks off.

              1. DeSelby
                • 3 Years
                9 months, 18 hours ago

                Wouldn't put it past him. Dude's a menace. Dirty, dirty, sh*thouse of a player.

      G & A for Kudus anything extra would be mega

    4. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 months, 19 hours ago

      yes to the kudus hattrick! 🙂

  2. Josh.E

    thanks Vdv

    1. Josh.E
      • 4 Years
      9 months, 19 hours ago

      reply fail

  3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    9 months, 19 hours ago

    Do the free transfers roll over if not used in GW16?

    1. Snoop Udogie Dogg
      • 5 Years
      9 months, 19 hours ago

      yeah pretty sure they do

    2. iFash@FPL
      • 2 Years
      9 months, 19 hours ago

      I believe you cannot have more than 5 FTs in any case.

    3. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      9 months, 19 hours ago

      You are topped up to 5 FT if you are talking about AFCON FTs.

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        9 months, 18 hours ago

        Yes. Are all of them supposed to be used in 16 or can the unused ones be rolled over?

        1. Snoop Udogie Dogg
          • 5 Years
          9 months, 18 hours ago

          if you mean after the 5 free transfers have been added, yes unused ones will roll over to the next week

          1. Snoop Udogie Dogg
            • 5 Years
            9 months, 18 hours ago

            but if you mean before, any free transfers will be topped up to 5 and that will be it

          2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
            • 9 Years
            9 months, 18 hours ago

            Yss. After. Thanks.

        2. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          9 months, 18 hours ago

          What is the question here really?

          If you have 3 transfers before GW16, you get topped up to 5. Are you asking "if I use the 5 transfers in GW16, do I still have my 3 transfers from before?". From my understanding the answer to that question is no... am I mistaken here?

          1. Dubem_FC
            • 10 Years
            9 months, 18 hours ago

            No, you're not. They specifically said when the 5FT is added, any extra you have will be ignored.

            1. Brosstan
              • 11 Years
              9 months, 18 hours ago

              I was just confused about the other guy's answer.. But I get it now. It was as I initially thought.

    Romero injured in warm up

    1. iFash@FPL

      Who comes in for him?

      1. Admiral Benson
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        9 months, 18 hours ago

        Danso

        1. iFash@FPL
          • 2 Years
          9 months, 18 hours ago

          Obrigado!

    Munoz has now hit DC threshold in 3/8 matches, and was close against Chelsea (8) and Liverpool (9). iirc he only would've hit the threshold 7 times the whole of last season if it was a thing. Do you think this is another Gabriel situation (someone else who is already massively exceeding DC performance compared to last year)? like time to just accept this season is different and get on board

    1. Ser Davos
      • 11 Years
      9 months, 18 hours ago

      even without DC, Munoz is a quality pick. Perhaps the one exception where DC isn't a priority, Gabriel/Timber the others. Just so happens GnM are both getting DCs in addition

    2. Ron_Swanson
      • 15 Years
      9 months, 18 hours ago

      4 away against Chelsea wasn’t that close

  6. g40steve

    Romero out in warm up

    1. Snoop Udogie Dogg
      • 5 Years
      9 months, 18 hours ago

      ah crap, not an owner but not good for Spurs

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        9 months, 18 hours ago

        No Warkins already made it bad for Spurs. This is worse.

        1. iFash@FPL
          • 2 Years
          9 months, 18 hours ago

          🙂

  7. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    9 months, 18 hours ago

    I have exact cash for Tarkowski, Bruno, Stach and Gyorekes to Van Hecke, Saka, Enzo and Mateta -4pts. Thoughts?

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      9 months, 18 hours ago

      No

    2. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 months, 18 hours ago

      Sounds good. Probably better options than Van Hecke

      1. jonnybhoy
        • 13 Years
        9 months, 18 hours ago

        Like his upcoming fixtures

    Elliott has gone from Liverpool's bench to Villa's bench...poor guy moved to start matches

    1. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      9 months, 18 hours ago

      He isn’t very good

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 months, 18 hours ago

        I rate him. He’s certainly good enough to start for Villa.

        1. x.jim.x
          • 11 Years
          9 months, 18 hours ago

          They’re a team fighting for Champions League, he’s nowhere near that level. Reminds me of Arsenal fans bigging up Smith Rowe.

          1. Old Man
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            9 months, 18 hours ago

            Rubbish. He's a good player but he needs game time.

            1. x.jim.x
              • 11 Years
              9 months, 18 hours ago

              Good players are given game time

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 months, 18 hours ago

      Not the managers choice apparently

    3. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      9 months, 18 hours ago

      He should go to the championship if that's his goal. Can't just waltz into a PL side, if he was that quality pool wouldn't have sold him to another PL side

  9. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 months, 18 hours ago

    Vicario pen save and 0-0 would be ideal

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 months, 18 hours ago

      I'm here for the Sunday goals now!!

      2-2??

  10. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 months, 18 hours ago

    That's a bit frustrating with Romero

    Couldn't get 15 out on my BB

    What can a virtual manager do?

    1. iFash@FPL
      • 2 Years
      9 months, 18 hours ago

      Hope you still get some decent points overall.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 months, 18 hours ago

        107 with Isak to go

        (Hopefully)

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      9 months, 18 hours ago

      Romero was my last player today! Got him w/c 6, instead of porro, (funds) 3 pt total for Romero since w/c !

      1. Fiasco da Gama
        9 months, 18 hours ago

        Same. Moving him on now but hoped for something before I did it. Oh well.

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 months, 18 hours ago

      I'm with you. Sympathy.

  11. SligoRovers1928
    • 1 Year
    9 months, 18 hours ago

    Thoughts on Gyokeres and reijnders to kroupi and Saka?
    Would end up playing5 in midfield most weeks with caicedo, ndiaye, Bruno, Saka and semenyo

  12. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 months, 18 hours ago

    any other Foden owners, what do you make of recent performances? think he has been unfortunate, and the way Pep is giving him 90 constantly shows abit how much he values Foden's contribution right now. did play 2 lovely passes for the goals yesterday, and set Haaland up for a big chance with another great pass. maybe he's just playing abit too deep this season to be worth it? although he does enter the box alot still. the brentford performance was disappointing tbf

    I used to play MLS fantasy back in the day and they counted 2nd assists there! We have to start a campaign for FPL as well. Could be worth just 1 point for example.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 months, 18 hours ago

      Nah

      Let's not add more cherries on top.

    Anyone still own Salah? Or only dead teams

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years

      Plenty own him

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        9 months, 18 hours ago

        Nowhere to be found in any of my ML’s

    2. Esraj
      • 10 Years
      9 months, 18 hours ago

      I do. Still rate him higher than sarr, kudus and gordon.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        9 months, 18 hours ago

        Below Kudus, but ManU is a defent fixture

    3. fedolefan
      • 12 Years

      Funny to read people ranked 3M call other teams dead teams.

        Who’s ranked 3 mill?

    Romero has been such disappointment ever since I’ve got him.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 months, 18 hours ago

      Swerving Spurs often pays back.

  30. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 months, 18 hours ago

    This bloody game. Reasonable start to the week and then Sunday slaps you down, as always.On bench boost .... Romero ......
