Kane supported by Moura and Lamela against Villa

Harry Kane (£11.0m) will be supported by Lucas Moura (£7.5m) and Erik Lamela (£6.0m) for Spurs’ Gameweek 1 clash with Aston Villa.

With Son Heung-min (£9.5m) suspended and Dele Alli (£8.5m) ruled out with a hamstring injury, there was an opportunity for cheaper midfield players to come in for Spurs.

Moura and Lamela have taken those opportunities and those who included them in their first squad of the season will be delighted.

Moura is currently in 11.2% of squads as the Brazilian was considered the most popular cheaper alternative to the expensive Kane.

Lamela is the real differential, snapped up by Scout legend Mark Sutherns for Gameweek 1, and owned by just 0.7% of Fantasy managers.

Christian Eriksen (£9.0m) is among the substitutes and it will be interesting to see which of the attacking players he replaces if he does come on.

Kyle Walker-Peters (£5.0m) gets a start at right-back with Juan Foyth (£5.0m) suspended, although Serge Aurier (£5.0m) has recovered from his knock to feature on the bench.

Meanwhile, Dean Smith surprised Fantasy managers with some elements of his team selection.

Despite Matt Targett (£4.5m) and Frederic Guilbert (£4.5m) playing extensively at left and right full-back respectively in pre-season, neither were in the starting line-up.

The former was named on the bench while Guilbert was not in the matchday squad at all.

Furthermore, Jota (£6.0m) also impressed during the summer but is named among the substitutes while Anwar El Ghazi (£5.5m) and Trezeguet (£5.5m) start either side of Wesley (£6.0m)

Spurs XI: Lloris; Rose, Sánchez, Alderweireld, Walker-Peters; Ndombele, Sissoko, Winks; Lamela, Lucas; Kane.

Aston Villa XI: Heaton; N Taylor, Mings, Engels, El Mohamady; Grealish, McGinn, Hourihane; El Ghazi, Wesley, Trezeguet.

      Well done

    Salah and Sterling have destroyed my team.

    To accommodate them, I've had to settle for these chumps from Bournemouth and Watford ffs...

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Salah Sterling accompanied by a big back 5 is smashing it

      Next up Ayoze & Vardy hauls 🙂

      1. Boxwoods

        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

      2. Mino Raiola
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        even didtn have to be that big at the back, just casual five with brighton, burnley and palace cleanies. lets see how long this template lasts!

    2. Bruce Lee
      • 5 Years

    3. tiger

      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Salah and Sterling have got me 41 points...5 other players have got me 32. Didn't need any Watford and only 1 Bournemouth. Who did you choose?

    4. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Happy that I have Kane who I can easily downgrade to get Sterling if I want.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yep thats definitely a situation to be happy about 😉

  3. Stoic
    • 7 Years

  4. Ha.
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Siggy and King the only disappointments so far.

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Rico out???close to cs and bAP, on corners etc, what do you expect for 4.0?

      1. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        this

      2. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        he didn't play particularly well imo, but this

    2. CostaCoffee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Keep Trossard for sure

    3. Flynny
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Save ft.

      Next week Fraser and tross out

      Maybe martial / pulisic/ Barkley

      1. Sleep Talk
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Definitely. I'm aiming for Martial in gw3. Trossard should get minutes. Brighton look better than expected.

    4. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      k

    5. wildebeest123
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Lundstram much better pick for 4.0

      1. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        How?

        1. wildebeest123
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Reverse OOP, and Sheffield look promising.

          1. wildebeest123
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            *OOP

            1. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Rico is as OOP as Lunds(LWB) Rico was further up the pitch - Rico played the full 90 - Lunds did not. Rico on some set piece - Lunds is not. I just don't understand after watching that game how you think Lunds is better.

              1. wildebeest123
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Rico benched today... Lol at you!

            2. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I'll settle for a hatful of saves (Kane owner)

  9. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years

      • 7 Years

    2. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*

      1. Boxwoods
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Did you do Wilson > Jimmy?

        1. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          No stuck with Wilson and Jota in the end

          1. Boxwoods
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            At least you avoided King.
            Wilson can still be a good choice.

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

  11. tafrère

    1. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 7 Years

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

        It’s too early in the season for all these brag posts

  14. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    How did Robinson look today? Look a decent FPL prospect?

    1. tafrère
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Decent yes, but not on my watchlist though.

    2. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      nah

    3. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

  15. tafrère
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone watched the Burnley game ? If so, did Chris Wood looked in shape ?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Scoring all those preseason goals out of shape would be a talent.

      1. tafrère
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        zzZzZzZ

  16. Permian23
    • 13 Years

    1. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      cool

  17. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I'm seeing some crazy gw1 scores out there with no chips used.

    Similar to last season!

    1. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      With Sterling and Salah and one of them captain, that's half or more of most of those teams points

    2. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I reckon a fair few will have 100+

      But it’s been a good week for the template

  18. JustPark
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Header doesn't look convincing much tbh.

  19. Unliklinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Still happy with 6pts from a 4.5 but Montoya lost those 2 baps he was on for briefly...

  20. Oooof
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Can I get a whoop whoop for an OOP OOP?

    Thanks whomever suggested Martin Montoya of Brighton!

  21. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    84 points with just Perez left for me this GW.
    Very pleased obviously with that but a few issues will need sorting soon.

    Wilson/King + Adam Smith the guys up before the dock soon!
    May wait another week for the Villa game before re-assessing but Bournemouth looked really poor today all round.

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

      Similar with Perez Jota if BAPS hold I thinkkk

      Well done to ya

  22. GREEN IS GOOD
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Brighton are the new Wolves.

    Montoya is the new Doherty.

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

      LOL.

  24. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    78 with Ayoze & Vardy still to come - could squeak a 100 perhaps...

    Coleman & Pope both inches from baps, narrowly missing out FFS

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      79 here with Perez and Moura left
