Which Spurs players are worth owning in FPL this season?

3,534 Comments
Share

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.

          Auba vs Kane is tough. Pepe and Son would have been so much easier.

              Great option. They underperformed last year but I think they will be solid at the back this year and look good value at 5.5. I'm picking Shaw over AWB and Maguire though.

                Yeah I'm thinking they may keep a couple more clean sheets this year and AWB has been in good form pre-season so im told. Cheers

            Im still toying with this, appreciate advice on this draft? GTG or moves to make and which ones?

            Pope
            VVD Coleman Walker Walker-Peters
            Salah Sterling Fraser Perez
            Kane Adams

            Subs: Button Deondocker Greenwood BJohnson

            £0.0ITB

            The threat of rotation to Coleman, Walker and Walker-Peters is quite concerning and I cannot really afford to swap them out for the likes of Robbo, Digne and Laporte without downgrading Kane and Sterling which in my opinion is a bit crazy.

            Would really like some feedback on this as I cannot seem to settle on a team that Im 95% happy with.

                  A United def and a nailed Spurs def probably. Not a fan of Zinchenko as he's a transfer waiting to happen and didn't look very attacking in the CS.

                    So maybe Wan Bissaka or Maguire? I was looking at Toby Alderweireld but is he nailed after wanting to leave the club?

                      I'm on Shaw currently as he has the most attacking potential. But could go either way.
                      Not sure on Spurs either, Rose could be great if nailed. Vertonghen probably the safest pick.

              Template. Everything else is personal choice and bias. Personally, although a Chelsea fan, not sure if Barkley will start gameweek1, so might be worth re-considering.

            Settled for B for quite some time now, but starting to think that Kane might get some good points. Also easier to convert Kane to Deulofeu+Perez or any other combination?
            The only thing that concerns me is that with B i‘ll have a 4,5 midfielder starting who‘s probably only fiving me 2 points week in week out.

            Thoughts?

                  Pereyra and Moutinho for Zaha and 4.5. Might be safer than Zaha if he doesn’t go to Everton. The Heaton hype only makes sense if being rotated with Pope as avoid top6 opponents.

              Good team. Problem with going five in midfield is you don't have 4.0 def. that starts this year. Plus no 4.5 fwd that starts. Maybe King or Jota to 6.0 fwd and get a 4.5 def that plays.

                Makes perfect sense because I usually play four in MID then three in FWD (3-4-3 formation), I don't know why I decided to change my usual formation to the current one which is 3-5-2. Thanks mate, I appreciate the input, let me work on it.

              Fraser more consistent and guaranteed starts

              I was going to ask where is the money before looking at your bench. Too much money on bench. Downgrade at least one and upgrade your first team. Plus Zaha hasn't played pre season. Might not start gw1.

            Robertson VVD Zinchenko Coleman (Kelly)

            Salah Sterling Perez C. Robinson (Dendoncker)

            Kane King (Greenwood)

            Why is everyone going with Pope? He doesnt have good GW 2-4... Pope and Button with Butto not starting may not be a great combo

              I would've thought Hart is first choice.
              Apparently I have some catching up to do.

            Best one to pick from Ryan Pope Heaton?
            Worth the double combo between them or just get Button as 2nd Gk?

              Im doing Pope/Heaton. Couldnt ask for a better 9.0 pairing, but preparing for ulcers

              I hate rotating pairs. It's never worked for me. I'm in the set-and-forget camp. Heaton.

            Any thoughts would be appreciated:

            Pope (Button)
            Robertson Digne Dunk Cathcart (Lundstram)
            Salah Sterling Moura Fraser Barkley
            Kane (Greenwood) (Nketiah)

            Any other 4.5 defenders better than Dunk and Cathcart. I’m liking their fixtures.

            I'm starting to get something here, but it might be a little too template-y and soft on top. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
