Which Spurs players are worth owning in FPL this season?

Tottenham Hotspur players are causing some Fantasy Premier League managers dilemmas at the start of the season.

They have a favourable opening fixture at home to Aston Villa but with a trip to Manchester City in Gameweek 2 and relatively expensive price points, their assets could be the ones to miss out on those initial teams.

However, there are some encouraging reasons to own some of Mauricio Pochettino’s players at the start of the new campaign.

In this article we assess Spurs’ defensive and attacking potential based on last season’s underlying statistics.

As this analysis uses data from the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area, only those who have signed up for the 2019/20 season can access it in full.

      Decent top post I guess...

        I'm on mobile, can't find it

    3. Marmalade Forest
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Happy to see one that isn’t an RMT or an A or B

    Is Romeu nailed?

  3. Beeson123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Is it essential to double up on lpool defence?

    I have robbo and Gomez but not sure if he’s nailed on, is it worth switching to AWB?

    1. Four Hit Wonder
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Not essential.

      People are looking at last season's numbers, but there's no indication they'll get 20+ CSs again.

      If you don't they won't let you post here any more

    3. Chazz69

      They leaked a lot of goals during pre season friendlies, maybe an indicator ?

  4. MadeinIreland

    Thoughts on this team please??? - it’s 0.5m over (Coleman to Digne) but currently thinking how to solve that.

    Emerson/ Heaton
    Duffy, VVD, Diane, McGuire, Lunstram
    Salah, Sterling, Perez, Barkley, McGinn
    Adams, Wilson, Jota

    Thanks...

        5 years, 1 month ago

        Oops - that was Digne before it changed

  5. Hairy Potter
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Which of these looks best?

    A) Digne + Perez
    B) KWP + Moura

    1. Four Hit Wonder
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. Hits from the Bong
      • 6 Years

      A

    3. Cheeky Onion
      • 6 Years

      A the safe bet - B the gamble

    4. Chazz69

  6. Firmy

    Pretty happy with this team now but could i get a RMT?

    Ryan
    Coleman Zinchenko Robbo
    Siggy Perez Salah(C) B Silva Frazer
    Kane(v.c) King

    Button KWP- Lundstram-Greenwood

    1. fantasyfog
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      pretty good,.why ryan though? and personally I don't like king

      1. Firmy
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Ryan>Fixtures & King could be Jota/Murray but just have a hunch about King getting back to scoring ways

  7. GREEN IS GOOD
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Chilwell 5.5m?

    Good player. Nailed I believe. 5 assists last season.

    What system will Rogers use tho?

    If Leicester have a good season, could be good value.

    1. Four Hit Wonder
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If, if, if.

      Penalty taker OOP player Ritchie says hi.

      1. fantasyfog
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        its all if's fella, your team.is based on what you think right?

      2. GREEN IS GOOD
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        It was only one IF too!

        Ritchie has the same IF and plays for a much worse team than Chilwell.

    2. Sloths
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I think he's a great defender but who's going to fill the Maguire sized hole?

    3. Pukki Party
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Good option, so is Pereira. Surprised i haven't seen more of them on here.

    4. Dybala10
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Wait for the fixtures for turn. Think it's around GW9.

      1. Dybala10

  8. Dirty Harry

    Anyone on KWP as a cheap route into Spurs defence along side a couple of the big hitters?

    1. Four Hit Wonder
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes.

    2. Firmy
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Of course.

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Tempted

    4. Firmy
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Actually first on my bench

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Who are you starting over KWP?
        I'm thinking of having him as a starter in a back four

        1. Firmy
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Check team above

      2. Four Hit Wonder
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        WP on bench?

        So basically your plan is to miss out on the points he'll get in these first few GWs while he's nailed, yet are wasting 5.5m?

        Who's second on your bench, Zinchenko?

        1. Four Hit Wonder
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Sorry, 5.0m not 5.5m.

    5. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yup, KWP not nailed but a terrific short-term.

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah definitely the first few weeks

    6. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Negative

    7. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Been on him since 1st draft

    8. Pukki Party
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      In my team

  9. The Pesci challenge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Evening,
    A- Kane & king
    Or
    B- Wilson & vardy?

    1. Cheeky Onion
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B unless you only have one other player 9 or up

    3. sumatera
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B all the way

  10. Usyismail
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Pope, heaton
    Van dijk, robertson, dunk, shaw, lundstran
    Barkley,perez,sterling,bilva, richarlison,
    Kane, king, greenwood
    1 mil in the bank, Now the question is: is dunk the best 4.5 defender, should i add martial by removing shaw and upgrading barkley? Also is king the best option?

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'm on Taylor as my 4.5 defender

  11. Made in Japan
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Any changes needed gents?
    Pope/Heaton
    AWB VVD Digne (Jagielka Kelly)
    Sterling Fraser Martial Siggy (Trossard)
    Aubameyang King Che Adams

  12. Cheeky Onion
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Finish off this midfield with 14m:

    Salah - Sterling - A - B (Dendocker)

    Tied between gambling with the likes of Pulisic, Moura or Martial or going with more secure starters ie Perez, Zaha, Fraser.

    On Pulisic and Perez for now

    Change My Mind

    1. Kimmich
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Fraser Perez

    2. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Probably Fraser instead of Pulisic

      1. Cheeky Onion
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Even if I have Wilson up top?

    3. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Trust your get. It's a tight call with not much in it

    4. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Fraser due to Bournemouth fixtures

    5. fantasyfog
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Perez and Fraser all day long

    6. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Siggy and Barkley

    7. Cheeky Onion
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Consensus seems to go with the more nailed options for mid-priced mids.

      Easy transfer to make if you see a bandwagon emerge

  13. Prince of Persia
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Guys what are your predictions on KDB and B Silva total points after GW3?

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      kdb 17
      bilva 12

  14. Bad Kompany
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Digne or Zinch from the start?

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Digne

  15. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Help me get my best ever finish. Lol!

    Pope Heaton
    Digne Robertson Zinchenko Diop {X}
    Salah KdB Sigurdsson Zaha
    Wilson {X}

    A) VvD (2x LIV Def) + Jimenez (Is he fit?)

    OR

    B) Dunk (Rotation with Diop) + Firmino

    1. Zero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      You have a very rigid team that won't be able to adapt easily.

      1. Slitherene
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Care to explain how?

    2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      TAA and Wood?

  16. Madfox

    2. Marmalade Forest

      Less annoying that RMTs with no originality!

      1. Madfox
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Haha *instantly backspaces RMT* thanks for joining anyway guys appreciate it and good look!

  17. Stupendous

    King Wood Haller in a 3 4 3 with a stacked back 7 anyone?

    1. fantasyfog
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      apart from king yes

  18. Nespinha
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    FINAL DRAFT 15957
    RATE 0 - 100

    Ryan (button)
    Digne, Robbo, VVD (diop, gibson)
    Salah, Siggy, Perez, Fraser (dendoncker)
    Aguero, King, Wesley

    1. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure Aguero plays gw1, so get Sterling instead.

      1. Nespinha
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        gonna YOLO aguero, how about the rest?

  19. George Sillett
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    3 premiums - probably very unwise but more fun.
    Heaton
    Robertson, TAA , Digne , Cathcart
    Salah, Sterling, Perez, Robinson
    Aubameyang, King

    Fodder , Dendoncker, Lundstram, fodder

  20. Donster
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Any Arsenal fans in here that can give me some info if Ceballos will be a starting player?

    1. Blanka
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I don't think he would have come to sit on the bench, personally.

  21. adstomko
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Perez or Digne?

    1. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Both

  22. Burger_and_Chips
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Guy's draft team and I think I will go with this, please let me know your honest thoughts?

    My thoughts - I'm thinking it's a well balanced team, would love Sterling or Vardy but difficult fitting in the same team. Rather have a GK also that's a season keeper than a budget keeper.

    Ederson

    Robertson VVD Zinchenko Dunk

    Salah (C) Perez KDB Fraser

    Kane King

    Subs - Button (GK), Dendocker (Def), Lundstrom (Mid), Greenwood (Fwd)

    Any thoughts or suggestions?

    1. fantasyfog
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      jeez king is like a bad smell that won't go away

      1. Burger_and_Chips
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Name another £6.5m option better? Southampton and Villa first two games, no brainer!?

        1. GREEN IS GOOD
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Actually Sheff United and Villa so even better.

          1. Burger_and_Chips
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Team good to go then chaps?

            1. GREEN IS GOOD
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              I prefer Sterling over Kane, but that's just my choice.

  23. MadeinIreland
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this team please??? - it’s 0.5m over (Coleman to Digne) but currently thinking how to solve that.

    Emerson/ Heaton
    Duffy, VVD, Digne, McGuire, Lunstram
    Salah, Sterling, Perez, Barkley, McGinn
    Adams, Wilson, Jota

    Thanks...

    1. Firmy
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Prefer coleman

    2. Ciro Di Marzio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      You don’t need Heaton if you have ederson, downgrade to 4

    3. fantasyfog
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      downgrade Emerson...you're welcome

    4. supersham
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Too much spent on keepers. Upgrade defender maybe

  24. Zero
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on Söyüncü? Best 4.5 option right?

  25. Stupendous
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Hmm.

    Ederson
    VVD Digne Robbo
    Barkley Perez Salah Sterling
    Wood Wilson Wesley

    1. Ciro Di Marzio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good. Any playing bench players?

      1. Stupendous
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Dunk Dendonker Lundstram

        1. Ciro Di Marzio
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah nice!

  26. FreddyP3
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Who will start out of Mount and Barkley (or both)? And who seem the more likely penalty taker?

    1. sumatera
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'm going with Barkley I think

  27. Ciro Di Marzio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    How does this team look with 3 premiums?

    Ryan
    VVD • TAA • Cathcart
    Sterling • Salah • Pereyra • Tielemans
    King • Wesley • Kane

    4.0 • Diop • Lundstram • Dendonker

  28. BENOIT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Couple of questions, chaps...

    1. Anyone tempted by Moise Kean at 0.5 less than Siggy?

    2. Thoughts on Lucas Moura?

  29. RS333
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    A: KDB & Wilson
    or
    B: Sterling & King

    1. FreddyP3
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B all day

    2. Sam257
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B for me

    3. fantasyfog
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      sterling but not king

  30. 2lers

    Spurs have accepted £70 mil offer for Dybala! What's going on in the world?
