Best Spurs players to sign on FPL in 2018/19 – Complete Members’ Analysis

2017/18 was a season of mixed fortunes for Fantasy owners of Tottenham Hotspur players.

Harry Kane matched his best-ever single-season haul for league goals (technically beating it after the Premier League goals accreditation panel retrospectively awarded him Christian Eriksen’s strike in the 2-1 win over Stoke City), but will also be remembered for frustrating blanks in home matches against Swansea City, Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, Brighton and Hove Albion, West Ham United and Huddersfield Town. A fair share of Fantasy Premier League managers will, meanwhile, still be ruing their “Kanexit” strategy in December when the England striker punished his deserting owners with back-to-back hat-tricks.

Christian Eriksen‘s total of 11 strikes (one subsequently scratched) was his best goal haul in a Premier League season, but the Danish international recorded only half of the assists (ten) he had managed in 2016/17.

Dele Alli scored 50 fewer FPL points in 2017/18 than he had managed the previous campaign, with his goal tally (nine) exactly halved. Even Son Heung-min‘s goal (12) and assist (eight) returns, as impressive as they were, were down on 2016/17.

Spurs’ wing-backs, most notably Ben Davies and Kieran Trippier, coupled their clean sheet prospects with regular attacking returns but were at the mercy of Mauricio Pochettino’s irksome rotation policy on the flanks; not one of the Lilywhites’ four full-backs started more than 26 league matches in 2017/18.

The north London club are, at least, a comfortingly unchanging presence amid this summer of big-money moves and new manager recruitment. At the time of writing, Spurs were one of only two Premier League clubs – the other being Burnley – who have yet to sign a player during the current transfer window.

Pochettino will be taking charge of Spurs for the fifth successive season, meanwhile, and we can expect the same brand of quick-pressing, attacking football he has cultivated in his four years at White Hart Lane. Although Pochettino occasionally rolled out a three-man backline in 2017/18, we will inevitably see more of the Argentinean coach’s preferred 4-2-3-1 system again this season.

        Very lazy response. I'm yet to see a Salahless team that is a 0/10 🙂

        Personally I don't like the Daniels or Townsend picks (prefer Cedric and McArthur) but can see why you'd go there.

        I also prefer just Salah to both Firmino and Mané - although I can see that working out ok, I just believe Salah is an impressive captaincy option who will be key with those early pool fixtures.

        Some concern at TAA rotation with Clyne/Gomez, though I'm pretty tempted to go Salah/Robertson/TAA and just accept the defensive rotation at that price point.

      Could work out really well. If Salah blanks in GW1 & your captain hauls you will straight away be about 25 points ahead of most of the game. But the opposite is true if Salah hauls at home to West Ham & your captain doesn’t match him. It’s a catch 22!

      Yup. Assist count far from flattered him last season given the number of chances created and about as nailed as nailed can be.

      Davies I like for the first two games (as a NUFC fan, can see a repeat of the opening-day score last season) and always a chance he could pick up a CS at Man Utd too.

          His fixtures are poison after GW4 allright, but if he’ snotched a few goals by then we can take a blank or two and he could always fluke a goal or assist in the tough games, plus should get some price rises by then hopefully

        What is the general consensus on having an 11.0m striker if you have Salah? Are most folks going for it?

        I can’t see the value in it myself as I want to captain Salah for all of his games, and I really don’t want an 11.0 I can’t captain. I’m very aware this could be a blind spot, but I just can’t setup with an 11.0 striker at the minute. Hopefully it doesn’t come back to bite me.

            Good to see I’m not going mad then. The amount of teams I’m seeing with one or both of Kun/Auba alongside Salah suggests it is wildly popular on here to have at least one 11.0, but I’m just interested in the thought process.

                Plus I think Laca, Firmino, Arnie, Tosun, Zaha, Austin & all the OOP Mids if you’re going for 5 in midfield offer a lot of alternatives to Auba who should stay within a few points per week of him, and if he’s never Captained, a haul can’t really hit you that badly.

                In saying that he’ll probably get 100 points now in his first 4 games.

              I have all three.

              In the case of Salah and Aguero...they could be in hattrick territory very early on with those fixtures.

              Auba's more long-term than Aguero, who I'll get rid off after the nice fixtures end around GW10 and Arnie comes into a green patch.

              Got a feeling Auba might be great from the off too.

              Rest of my team hasn't suffered too much as a result either...a lot of good 6-7m options and premium defs.

          I like Auba's ceiling, captaincy or not.
          One is enough for me. Salah, Auba/Kun + 2x 9.5 mids (currently Mahrez and Eriksen) is pretty achievable.

        Millionth draft, but first one I've put on here for a RMT. Any thoughts? Likely playing 4-3-3 to start with, with the option to shift one of the cheap defenders out for Kenedy or Hughes.

          That's a nice team all in all. The Spurs and Burnley defence stand out as a potential weak spot. I feel Europa league will significantly hamper Burnley and Spurs fixtures with a depleted side are not great.

            Thinking I may change Davies to Mendy a few weeks down the line if the latter shows himself as nailed. I do fancy Burnley as a reliable option to start off with their fixtures though, should take a few months for EL fatigue to set in.

            No Salah to rotate Cedric and Daniels still is pretty disappointing. You’ve just used the extra money on getting overpriced players over nicely priced options in my opinion and there’s nobody I would feel confident captaining regularly

            Why not just take Salah to start with and do Sanchez/Hazard > Salah/Martial?

            Hazard future unclear plus I wouldn't bank on him to start the first match after going all the way to the 3rd place playoff. I really didn't see the 2017/18 incarnation of Sanchez as a 10.5M player. I'd want to see him prove his FPL worth in a United shirt before investing in him.

            You can always change back after a few weeks if you see some form out of them, but for my mind you're risking losing a lot of ground early on for 2 expensive gambles here.

            He got hooked at HT/before 60 mins a lot last season.

            It’s clear he’s lost something. Combined with Bournemouth’s poor defensive stats he’s a complete no-go for me.

            Doubt it, unless Josh King moves.

            Nope, Impact sub mainly when fit last year, with a few starts here and there

          Ederson
          Mendy - Robertson - Bavies
          Salah - Sane - Eriksen - Mhki
          Arnie - Zaha - Tosun

          Bench: Boruc, Wan-Biss, Stephens, Malone

          Any tips? Should I change something?
          Maybe: Mendy to Shaw and Eriksen to Sanchez?

            Great team, forward line weak but there is real value in the £7.0 fwds

              Yeah, I think those 3 will get the points. But I can't see me end up with this team. I need Auba or Aguero maybe?

                You could swap Erik for mahrez just to get a bit more city attack? Allison for ederson

            I like this. Not sure about spurs generally to start and I struggled with bavies rotation last time around.

                Mm. I’m not a fan of defenders in a Silva team. I’m sure you won’t go too wrong with him though.

          Arnie is becoming too good to ignore. Not a fan of the fixtures though.

            Agreed. He’s nailed on in my 3-4-3. Fixtures should keep his ownership down.

            I'll get him in for Aguero once the fixtures sweeten and beef up my midfield with the saving.
