Reunion for Spurs’ attacking trio as Chelsea visit Wembley

Harry Kane (£12.3m) is set to play with both Christian Eriksen (£9.2m) and Dele Alli (£8.9m) in the Spurs’ starting line-up for the first time since Gameweek 4.

The talismanic striker has been considered out of sorts this season but that particular statistic just goes to prove how long it has been since Spurs’ attack has been at its best.

However, Mauricio Pochettino probably would have preferred a different fixture to get the trio back together as they face a Chelsea side still in good form.

Maurizio Sarri has named an unchanged side for Gameweek 13 with Mateo Kovacic (£5.9m) coming through an injury doubt to start ahead of Ross Barkley (£5.9m) for a second Premier League match in a row.

Eden Hazard (£11.2m) will be looking to punish those that triggered a price-fall on Friday night as he and fellow wide-man Willian (£7.4m) go up against Serge Aurier (£5.8m). The Ivory Coast international is making his first league start since Gameweek 1 after Kieran Trippier (£6.2m) was ruled out with injury.

Juan Foyth (£5.0m) also starts a third match in a row at centre-back.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR XI: Lloris, Aurier, Foyth, Alderweireld, Davies, Sissoko, Dier, Eriksen, Son, Alli, Kane

CHELSEA XI: Kepa; Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Luiz, Alonso; Kovacic, Kante, Jorginho; Willian, Morata, Hazard

    Spurs double up in attack looking like it might be required

    1. Jules Rimet
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Kane + Eriksen?

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Son + Alli?

    3. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years

      Alli + Kane?

    No Moura = Spurs party

    Son, Eriksen and Alli need to start every game. Let that headless chicken play pointless cup games.

  5. Crouching Tiger

    Hazard and Alonso both on 0 point. Gulp.

      At least I'll get AWB off the bench so 🙂

  6. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Forget Kane, Eriksen looks essential from GW15

  7. KGFC
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Arna flagged? Did he get injured in the match?

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      at the end, probably pretending again

      1. KGFC

        Thanks!

    2. Bolivian Seaman

        Hmm... thanks

          Yawn

    3. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      He's not flagged and he didn't get injured.

      1. KGFC
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        check FPL site

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          I did, can't see nothing. Or should I check the 'status' page?

          1. KGFC
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            That's a bit odd coz its showing me on the "My Team" page.. try refreshing...

      2. Maddi Son
        • 6 Years

        What's that yellow flag around him then?

    4. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Took a bump to the thigh. Always limps at the end of every game and then is ready for the next. Fear not.

      1. KGFC
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Ah, good to know.. thanks!

    5. AndyCook
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah he came off and they finished with 10

        1. KGFC
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          If he is indeed out then Carroll at 5.4 could be a fantastic pick for this fixture rush!!

    6. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Love this 😛
      Always liked Spurs despite some dodgy fans

    7. Firmino

      So many players I want in my team..

      1. Patch
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Just wildcard...

    8. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Ever since Giroud got dropped for Morata, Hazard has gone off the boil.

      Sarri, can't you see?

    9. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Dependant on midweek games might do Salah to Sane for a MCI triple up (Silva Sane Kun)

      1. Patch
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Not tempted to ditch Hazard instead?

        1. Top Lad Dakes.
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          not before fulham

          unless he gets a rc or something

    10. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Before the LFC v Cardiff game, many were faced with the decision of Salah v Mané. Since then:

      Salah 34 points.
      Mané 29 points.

      Is Salah really worth £3m more than Mané?

      1. AndyCook
          5 years, 4 months ago

          It’s about probabilities not absolutes when you make the choices.

          1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            This

        • XabiAlonso
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          He is if you captained him and know you wouldn't captain mane

        • Bird Raymond
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Salah has delivered a couple of 8 point captaincies. I wouldn't have captained Mane and my vice captains blanked. Having said that my team would have been different with the Salah funds so difficult to say.

        Hope I reach 30 points this GW! 🙁

              • 7 Years

              Not subtle TBH

        Morata literally lives his life offside, imagine watching Drogba, Zola in years gone by to then settle for this.... awful.

        1. Bun Rab
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Drogba was booed when he was starting out. Zola was never a big goalscorer.

          1. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Drogba was a bully. Morata gets bullied and whines to his mummy.

            1. Bun Rab
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Drogba used to fall to the floor so often that the team played on without him. Took him2/3 years to get his stride.

          Spurs have done well this season given how rarely they have had the ability to pick from all their players at full fitness

          1. XabiAlonso
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Some spawny wins by a single goal help

        • dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Did AWB get injured? I see both he and Arnie yellow flagged and presumably if AWB not injured fpl towers would have removed his flag when flagging Arnie.

          1. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            He was injured over the IB. Not been de-flagged yet for some reason.

        • Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Alonso has a 100% pass accuracy at least! 😆

        • Digital-Real
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Will Arnie play all those less difficult fixtures? dodgy knee and picks up knocks.

        • Dybala10
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Salah, Richarlison & Aguero > Sane, Alli & Kane is a tempting transfer strategy moving forward.

          1. Riders of Yohan
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Is tempting. Worries about sane rotation?

        • Top Lad Dakes.
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          fabulous. on 34pts currently, with only doherty, jimenez, fraser and whatever haz/alonso can muster left

          1. Riders of Yohan
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Still beating me...

            1. Olivier Bernards watch

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Good score for a non Sterling owner.

        • Riders of Yohan
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Which spurs attacking player to bring in for gw 15 onwards?

          1. dunas_dog
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Kane and one of Trippier, Alli or Eriksen

            1. Riders of Yohan
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Kane in for who? Aguero?

              1. dunas_dog
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 4 months ago

                Yes would be

          2. Top Lad Dakes.
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Was looking at Kane (+sterling/sane) in for Kun (+ salah) earlier, but alli and eriksen turning my head now too

            1. Riders of Yohan
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Yeah exactly the same! Too many options at the moment

        • HNI
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          I Hope there is no Salah captain who is complaining about Baps. Other 2 strong captains blanked so thanks to Salah return, low owned Sterling show wont hurt our rank

        • tm245
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Definitely seems like the ref approached the match looking to not take any crap from Chelsea instead of not take any crap from either team.
