Fantasy Premier League managers need to start making a plan for their Tottenham Hotspur assets as their incoming fixture-swing approaches.

Leading the way with their 71 points each, Harry Kane (£11.0m) and Son Heung-min (£9.6m) have been the catalysts for success during the first seven Gameweeks but that may not be true for much longer. 

Many of us will be relying on Jose Mourinho’s men yet again this weekend as they travel to face an out-of-form West Bromwich Albion side – but we cannot allow ourselves to get too attached.

From Gameweek 9 it will be a case of form versus fixtures as we see Spurs run into Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool in four of the five matches between Gameweeks 10 and 13.  Even though owning both Kane and Son has been almost essential in the early weeks of the season, I definitely think it is time we seriously examine the merits of keeping the pair beyond Gameweek 8.

    Bench one
    A) Watkins (ars)
    B) Soucek (FUL)

      Have all 3 and benching Watkins atm

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

        Think Foden will start?

        1. drughi
          • 16 Years

          yes

      If Watkins can bag a Hat-trick against Liv, he's capable to bag a goal against Ars. I'd bench B or C

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

        I'm thinking Foden bench. Surprised of the results on this poll actually.

        1. Long ago I drew a walrus
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Foden did well in the 4-0 earlier in the year which people probably still remember. Pep's shown that he trusts him in big games, which can't be said for Torres so far and arguably Mahrez as well. Also came off early midweek (although I believe that was more because he was playing badly). Personally I'm not particularly confident with him but he's my only City asset and I'd rather that than Watkins away at the best defence in the league.

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

            Cheers good reasoning.

    Really want a Hammers attacker but not really confident in Bowen or Fornals.

    Perhaps better to wait and get Antonio next week.

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

      I think Antonio being out will really dampen their potential vs Fulham.

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

        This could be the case.

      2. Weeb Kakashi
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Antonio is such an underrated player.
        Man has played as a winger Striker As well as a fullback for Hanmers and done exceptionally well.

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

          Yup - absolute talisman for them. Think they will still win 1 or 2-0 with Haller but could have been 4-0 with a fully fit Antonio.

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Soucek is one to watch

  3. Abaddon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Mccarthy (Steer)
    Robbo, Justin, Chilwell (Mitchell, Ayling)
    Soucek, Grealish, Salah, Son (c) (Bissouma)
    Kane, Wilson, Jimmy

    2ft and 2,1 itb. Any reccomended changes to my starting team? And have to do a transfer.

    Jimmy to Werner?

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

      I guess Werner has a bigger ceiling than Jimmy. Personally Jimenez is a set & forget, gets regural returns.

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

    Any reason Lamptey is fourth in the captain poll?

    He's also yellow flagged

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

      Werner has more votes

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Probably because he is number one on the list of options to choose from.

    3. Long ago I drew a walrus
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I genuinely think it might be a joke. He was one of the leading candidates earlier in the week which makes me think someone might have pushed his numbers up for lolz. It's easy to do via incognito browser.

      Having said that, he's always yellow flagged between games and it's never an issue, won't be this time either.

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

      Because I transferred him out

    5. Joey Tribbiani
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Because there are 3 people with more votes than him

    6. Je suis le chat
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Very strange to see him ahead of Mo.

  5. G Banger
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    2FT and 0.1 ITB, anything worth burning a tranny?

    Martinez
    TAA Semedo Chillwell PVA
    Salah Grealish Son Hamez
    Kane DCL

    Button Kilman Brewster Stephens

    1. Abaddon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Hamez to Ziyech 🙂

  6. gstegnar

    Hi guys, i need your feddback.

    My team is:
    button/mccarthy
    webster/mitchell/TAA/KWP/dier
    barkley/zaha/salah/son/havertz
    DCL/ings/wilson

    I have 1 FT and 0,2 mil left in the bank.

    Havertz should go be transffered out, not only due to covid-19, but mainly his performances
    Ings has a long term injury
    Son should perhaps be transffered as well, since Spurs have a difficult schedule ahead

    Should I trade Havertz to 5 mil midfielder and then buy KDB/Sterling?
    Later on, trade Ings for... ? :/

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Keep son.
      Havertz -> Ziyech

    2. Sandy Ravage
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Havertz +Ings > Grealish + Jesus/ Vardy?

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

    Werner, Coufal and Bowen or Ziyech/Zaha , Bamford and Creswell?

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

      WCB

  8. asquishypotato
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Quick straw poll on who people are going to keep from the Spurs duo

    Son
    + likely to play higher up as a counter attacking player for difficult games (see City last year)
    - more midfield options such as KDB, Liverpool, Sterling, United etc

    Kane
    + penalties to keep him ticking over, stats through the roof
    - potentially likely to be stuck on the line during defensive corners when Mourinho is squeezing out a 1-0 win away

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Both will be departing my team next week

      1. asquishypotato
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Both is something I genuinely have not considered so fair play, who is it that you would be bringing in?

        1. Pukki Blinders
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Midfield of Salah KDB Sterling, a WC next week makes it easier to do

    2. Long ago I drew a walrus
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Son's leaving my team for Grealish in GW9. Injuries aside that won't change. Kane's leaving my team for Vardy but I've not decided whether that's a GW9 or GW10 transfer yet. Depends on how Liverpool look. Imo it's not down to Son/Kane, it's down to their replacements.

      1. asquishypotato
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Interesting, I think I’m happy to keep one pending form as it is an Avenue that means I’ll get something from their fixtures, but losing both NFC Luke be a way to maximise players elsewhere. Not thought of doing it personally!

        1. Long ago I drew a walrus
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          That's a crazy autocorrect, no idea what NFC Luke is meant to be

          1. asquishypotato
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            No idea either, think it might just be a simple ‘could’

    3. Abaddon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      As you say... so many midfield options. I also have em both, but I think Son is the first to go

    4. drughi
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Son>KDB next week then kane>werner/vardy gw 10

    5. ElliotJHP
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Kane out of the two but quite possibly neither, Ings to Wilson move funs the Son to KdB move.

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

    Who should I start:
    A) Klich
    B) Lamptey

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

      B

      1. Sprets

      B

  10. Grendos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I have both Kane and Son and will only be looking to transfer one out next week. I think both of them will do well against difficult teams who will be looking to attack and win the game as opposed to getting 10 men behind the wall. They are in incredible attacking form and I don’t think this will just stop, despite the fixtures.

    I know I want De Bruyne next week so I just need to decide the following.

    Do I want Kane and Pulisic or Son and Werner? I prefer Kane to Son but Pulisic’s hamstrings are made of cheese.

  11. waltzingmatildas
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Happy with my team for this GW - watch it fail spectacularly now!
    Still have my WC and have been thinking about using it GW9 - IB and fixture swing makes it look ideal.
    Anyone started putting together a draft?

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

    Start kilman or Dallas?

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

      Kilman - Wolves defence has only conceded once in the last 4 games and that was a free kick that Patricio probably should have dealt better with

  13. Fernando Torres
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Bench 1

    A) Grealish
    B) James Rodriguez
    C) Wilson

  14. AnfieldLad
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    McCarthy
    TAA Chilwell XX
    Salah Son Podence Soucek
    Kane Werner DCL
    (4.0 XX Bissouma Ferguson)
    1FT 1.1ITB

    A) Play Shaw
    B) Play Kilman
    C) Shaw -> Cresswell

    Leaning towards rolling the transfer. Looking at Cancelo in for Shaw later and will need FT to move to City players

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I would definitely roll the FT if those are the options. Play Kilman, could be a tight 0-0 but can see Vardy or Jimenez nicking a goal and the win.

  15. Tonyawesome69
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Start 1 and first on the bench:
    A. Justin (H vs WOL)
    B. Taylor (A vs BHA)
    C Bissouma (H Vs BUR)

  16. Jinkys Oars
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Best short term replacement for Ings?
    Looking at a two-week punt.
    Straight swap, no funds ITB.
    Wilson?
    Haller?
    Abraham?
    All suggestions welcome!

    Foden benching the right call, G2G?

    Martinez
    Trent Lamptey James Coufal
    Salah Son Grealish
    Wilson Kane (c) DCL

    Steer Foden Mitchell Burke

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years

      Tough one, I would probably drop Coufal.and play Foden

    2. Long ago I drew a walrus
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Lampard will bench James for you

      1. ElliotJHP

        What a gent

  19. tinear
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Help me sort this mess up. Didnt realize Havertz red flagged.

    Martinez
    TAA, Ayling, Zouma
    Salah, Son, Grealish, Havertz
    Kane, DCL, Bamford

    Steer, Saiss, Mitchell, Bissouma

    1ft 0.3itb

    1) Saiss to Coufal
    2) Havertz to Zaha / Jrod
    3) Havertz Saiss to Coufal Zaha -4
    4) Any other suggestions

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If you bring Coufal in, who would you bench?
      I'd just do 2

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

        Bench TAA? Even it looks like a waste 7.4 on bench.

        2 with Ziyech/Jrod/Zaha?

      2. Long ago I drew a walrus
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        He would bench Havertz and play 433

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

          And this looks even better. But come to think about it, I guess Coufal wont outscore Havertz replacement.

    2. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      2

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

        And with who?

  20. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Play Foden or Podence. have Sterling.

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Foden

  21. Lev Yashin
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Starting XI and bench order OK?

    Martinez
    Chilwell, Lamptey, Dallas
    Salah, Son, Ziyech, Grealish
    Kane, DCL, Bamford

    Steer, Robbo, Kilman, Bissouma

    1. ElliotJHP
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'd go Robbo over Dallas personally

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        +1

      2. Lev Yashin
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I would normally but this is based on form and fixtures.

        1. Boz
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Think Robbo is like the Leighton Baines of old. Never bench, never captain

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

    Gtg? 0 FT 0.7 ITB

    Martínez
    Chilwell - T. Silva - Cresswell
    Sterling - KDB - Son - Grealish - Bowen
    Kane - Bamford

    (Steer, Lamptey, Brewster, Mitchell)

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I would start Lamptey over Silva

  23. Lev Yashin
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I'll be doing Robbo + Son -> Bellerin + KdB next week.

  24. Gudjohnsen
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    When should I do Saiss, Havertz to Chilwell, Grealish?

    3 O'clock?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Just do it now.

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Makes no difference

    3. AnfieldLad
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Nice moves. Any time before 4

  25. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    What to with Saiss:
    a) Save FT to have 2 over the IB and play Taylor
    b) Switch to James/Bellerin

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A

  26. AJBucko
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Someone please tell me i'm not crazy....

    VERY strongly considering playing Soucek (FUL) and benching Grealish (ars). Anyone else agree? Who to play....

    A) Soucek (FUL)

    B) Grealish (ars)

    1. Boz
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Play Grealish . Form over fixture

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Not a bad idea

    3. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      That's a tough call! Probably A

    4. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Fulham are woeful but always form 1st so play Grealish

    5. Hits from the Bong
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking the same

    6. AnfieldLad
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It’s not crazy. Arsenal have been solid defensively. I’d still play Grealish and not overthink it

  27. Boz
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Pulisic out or save FT?

    Got Dallas, Mitchell and Bissouma on the bench

  28. Jdpz
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Who to buy:
    A) KDB and Bamford
    B) Grealish and Vardy/Werner

  29. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Banres > Auba worth it for a 2 week punt?

    Will then switch him to kdb/sterling

    1. Boz
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Nah

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

  30. pundit of punts
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Fornals or Bowen?

    Who to get?

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Bowen
