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.

    A) digne, Bernardo silva, any 6.5 midfielder (was thinking tielemans)
    B) any 5mil defender, kdb, any 6mil midfielder (Was thinking Barkley, grealish)
    C) digne, kdb, any 5.5 midfielder (was thinking Robinson)

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B with a 4.5 def and then 6.5 mid?

  2. Emery thing I do
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    A - Wood and AWB
    B - Digne and Wesley

    Thoughts?

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

      Close, but I'd go with B

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

      a for me

  3. Joggers Nipple
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Morning, last spot on team is bothering me-
    A Walker, a new signing threatening him?
    B zichenco, a transfer out waiting to happen?
    C. Azoic/luiz
    D. Someone else

    Heaton
    Robertson vvd Coleman 6M?
    Salah sterling jorjinio Perez
    Kane King
    Button dendonker greenwood lundsrtom
    Any a/b/c’s really welcome as well as general thoughts. Thanks

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

      Wait til transfer deadline then you can be sure about Walker and also Coleman

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

      luiz may be useful, walker ff points arent that impressive especially for 6 mil...chilwell could do well, but i'd go for periera

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

        walker 5.5*

  4. Dimen
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    RMT?

    - Van Aanholt - Dunk - Wan-Bissaka - (Diop, Gibson)
    Salah - BSilva - Zaha - Richarlison - Fraser
    - Kane - Rashford - (Greenwood)

    thanks!

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

      Forgot, Heaton for goalie 🙂

    2. faver
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't pick Patrick. Your team is diffrerent at the back, but you're going to get Robbo and TAA at some point.

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

        Yeah different is what I'm going for, been burned by the "template" here too many years. I always regret not getting Van Aanholt when he starts with his goals, so this year I just went for him.

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

          Thats reasonable. From that point of view. Has Dunk signed to Leicester already?

    3. Ekip
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      With that defence I was expecting to see Sterling as well as Salah and Kane

  5. Miguel Sanchez
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Start with:

    A) McGinn + 0.5 ITB
    B) Barkley
    C) Robinson + 0.5 ITB

    Ta

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

      B

    2. SAUCY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A, decent fixtures after week 1 too

    3. Steiger
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B - you could always downgrade to the other two at a later date

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

    Better option?

    A) TAA, Tielemans, King
    B) VVD, 5.5mid, Wilson

    Cheers

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Vvd, Tiel and king and save.5?

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

        Possible, why Virgil over Trent?

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        assume you already have Perez?

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

          Correct

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

        Cheers, who's your favourite 5.5mid to start with?

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          McGinn - think he could be this season's Fraser

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

            Or this seasons Shelvey

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

            Cheers

  7. Azathoth
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Who of the following Spurs players is the best option:
    a) Dybala
    b) Coutinho
    c) Lo Celso
    d) Fernandes

    Thanx

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B if he signs

  8. Yordan Letchkov
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    How is she looking?

    Pope, Button
    TAA, Zinch, Coleman, Cathcart, Lundstrom
    Salah, Sterling, Siggy, Barkley, Dendo
    Vardy, King, Deeney

    Any better 6m option than Barkley?

  9. ZeBestee
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Everton are close to agreeing a loan move for Sidibe. Coleman acquisition becomes risky now.

    1. Robson-Canoe
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Coleman's still nailed imo, he's the team captain. Sidibe will be backup.

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

        Cheers. Makes sense as Sidibe had a big injury last season. But he is a very good player and if he does get to full fitness then I expect him to get games off Coleman.

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Pure backup after loaning kenny

  10. Coast94
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Improvements on this? Feel this is fairly balanced.

    Pope / Button

    Robbo / Digne / Zinch / Guilbert / Aarons

    Salah / Sterling / Perez / Lanzini / Trossard

    Wilson / Jota / Adams

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

      343?

      1. Coast94
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yep, most weeks depending on fixtures - will interchange between Adams/Trossard.

  11. WVA
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    A. Laporte Fraser Wilson
    B. Zinchenko Kdb King

    A.
    Ryan
    TAA VVD LAPORTE Digne
    Salah Sterling FRASER Perez
    WILSON Ings

    B.
    Ryan
    TAA VVD Digne ZINCHENKO
    Salah Sterling KDB Perez
    KING Ings

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

      I have B but with Jota instead Ings. So B.

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

        Those Wolves fixtures are pure horror, there must be better picks at 6.5m range, even going double Bou

    2. Gringo Kid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A

    3. Podge
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A and I don’t even think it’s close

  12. gooner_112233445566
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    A) digne and kdb, any 6.5 midfielder
    B) any 5.5 defender, kdb, martial

    Which one

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Robson-Canoe
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Martial and Coleman imo

    3. Konstaapeli
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Digne + DKB + Perez

  13. Live Lad
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    (1) Toby + Duffy
    (2) 6.0 + 4.5
    Which ones if (2)? Already have Digne. Thanks.

    1. Live Lad
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      anyone?

  14. PL Ball
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Best 6.5 and under Forward (except King)?

    A) Jota
    B) Wood
    C) Ings
    D) Adams
    E) Other

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

      Deeney?

    2. Riders of Yohan
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Ings until he breaks

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

    Moise Kean at 1m less than Siggy gives me so much more flexibility.

    Is he a risk though?

    1. The Wise Owl
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Sure. He's played 0 minutes of Premier League.

    2. PL Ball
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      But will he be chucked into the team straight away?

      Zero pre-season minutes.

    3. Pinturicchio10
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Could argue all Everton players are a bit of a risk.

      • oispakaljaa
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Wouldn’t get Kean yet

      Auba, King, Adams

    5. mike09

        2. Fpl Richie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          Wilson and Haller up front and I think that could be good until even a late wildcard. COYI!

            Perez

              Don't like Lloris and Barkley rest is fine.

            Not seen any teams on here with DDG or any keepers above 5m - 11% ownership for DDG. Casuals and autopicks??

              • 10 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

            2. Miguel Sanchez
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              A lot of United players in the world who play this game. Always boosts their numbers.

          4. Miguel Sanchez
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Final pieces of house keeping in my team are:

            A) Robbo or TAA
            B) McGinn + 0.5 ITB or Barkley
            C) Jota or Wood

            1. Pinturicchio10
                5 years, 1 month ago

                A) Robertson
                B) Not sure as haven't considered either
                C) Wood

            2. Riders of Yohan
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Who’s the best 4.5 playing defender?

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

                Dunk has nice early fixtures apart from the City game.

                1. Riders of Yohan
                  • 6 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  True, will he go to Leicester?

              2. Miguel Sanchez
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                I have gone for Guilbert, a few assists in pre-season.

                Montoya/Dunk
                Cathcart
                Diop/Balbuena
                C.Taylor

                other options

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

                  Is C. Taylor nailed? Lowton not a better pick?

                  1. Miguel Sanchez
                    • 8 Years
                    5 years, 1 month ago

                    Taylor started 35 consecutive games from GW3 onwards. I would say nailed. Lowton stayed on the bench for 14 games last season. Make of that what you will.

                    1. Miguel Sanchez
                      • 8 Years
                      5 years, 1 month ago

                      *36 consecutive games

                2. Riders of Yohan
                  • 6 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Great thanks, Montoya nailed?

                  1. Miguel Sanchez
                    • 8 Years

              Howdy guys, hope everyone is almost ready for the big kick off. Just wondering if you'd be so kind as to take a look at my team and let me know if I have any glaring holes or omissions.

                Apart from Forwards, team looks solid.
                Kean is quite strange pick for 7.0m

              Finally there, wooooooo! Fingers crossed Laporte is declared fit in the presser!

                I have similar team except AWB, Bilva and Kane for Sterling Fraser and Ings. This Laporte doubt is a worry with such lousy benches. My worry is that Laporte is fit to play, but he rests him further to be on the safe side with such an easy fixture.
