TEAM NEWS
All players from both sides are eligible for Scouting Bonus in this low-key Fantasy match-up.
Austria talisman Marcel Sabitzer ($6.8m) starts and will take his fair share of set-pieces. The 32-year old lead the way for key passes (13) and assists (three) in qualifying.
Up front, Sasa Kalajdzic ($6.0m) is preferred to one time FPL option Marko Arnautovic ($6.0m).
Spurs’ Kevin Danso ($4.3m) and ex-Chelsea man Carney Chukwuemeka ($5.0m) warm the bench.
Not one of Jordan’s players is owned by more than 0.1% of Fantasy managers!
Ali Olwan ($4.2m) led the way for goals scored in the qualification period (nine), bolstered by three penalties.
The ‘Jordanian Messi’, aka Mousa Al-Tamari ($5.6m), looks set to drift in off the right and offer plenty of threat.
