Spurs switch to back five for Sheffield United game

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers will be hoping Jose Mourinho’s switch to a back five will provide a boost to Tottenham Hotspur’s well-owned attacking assets.

Deadly duo Harry Kane (£11.1m) and Son Heungmin (£9.7m) line up with a returning Steve Bergwijn (£7.0m) in attack for their game against Sheffield United in Double Gameweek 19.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (£4.8m) and Tanguy Ndombele (£5.9m) are selected in centre midfield.

Providing width to their side will be wing-backs Sergio Reguilon (£5.7m) and Serge Aurier (£5.2m).

Joe Rodon (£5.0m) is back in the heart of their defence with Ben Davies (£4.6m), along with stalwart Eric Dier (£5.1m).

French international Hugo Lloris (£5.6m) continues in goal, having started every game of the Premier League season so far.

Chris Wilder will be hoping his Blades side can build on their first win of the season against Newcastle with another impressive performance.

Out-of-position forward Oliver Burke (£4.4m) starts up- front with top-six slayer David McGoldrick (£5.2m).

There are no changes in midfield, with John Fleck (£5.6m), John Lundstram (£4.9m) and Oliver Norwood (£4.6m) occupying the three spots.

The impressive Jayden Bogle (£4.3m) continues at right wing-back, with Enda Stevens (£5.0m) returning on the left,

Chelsea loanee Ethan Ampadu (£4.3m) who picked up maximum Bonus Points in their last game, is alongside Chris Basham (£4.6m) and John Egan (£4.7m) at centre-half.

Aaron Ramsdale (£4.6m) keeps his place in goal.

Sheff Utd XI: Ramsdale; Basham, Egan, Ampadu, Bogle, Stevens; Lundstram, Norwood, Fleck; McGoldrick, Burke

Spurs XI: Lloris; Aurier, Rodon, Dier, Davies, Reguilon; Hojbjerg, Ndombele, Bergwijn, Son; Kane

    Jose looks like he’s told them to sit back at 2 instead of 1. Took him a while anyway

      Yep, same against Fulham but we couldn’t finish our dinner that night despite 5+ big chances

    When are potential BGWs and DGWs again..?

      While off yet

      Big DGW is 26, big BGW is 29, and there'll probably be smaller ones before 26.

        Big Blank in 29gw?? How many teams will play?

          Nobody knows, it depends on who gets through in the FA Cup.

    3. Kabayan
      • 7 Years

      29 and 26

    2. Look at the League table. Villa have so many fixtures to catch up on.

    One thing I've learned is to never plan too far ahead during covid season. My WC16 team is in tatters and I'm being punished for it. Mixture of injuries, cancellations and covid. My WC25 should hopefully be better.

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      WC25 BB26 is the move

      1. BenDavies
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        exactly what i'm doing. the time between 16 and 19 was always going to hurt WC16 squads. only 1 week between 25 and 26.

        That's my plan as well. Thought I would lose ground last gw with no chip but 20k green arrow to 330k. This week looks a lot more difficult for me with all the chips around. Would settle for a 100k drop in rank but you never know.

    After reading the last page I honestly thought it was 3-0 to spurs and son must have a brace

          Ah, cheers guys.

      3. noahzark22
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Johnstone
        Coufal, Robertson, Justin
        Soucek, Barnes, Salah, Son
        Kane, Bamford, Wood

        Lloris, Foden, Cancelo, Stones

        Post BB benching headache. Obviously with BB played, can now concentrate on starting 11 with reasonably priced subs.
        Stones to Mitchell
        Keeper (probably Loris) to 4.0
        Wood to fodder.
        Probably try to stay more flexible in Midfield. Midpriced forwards don't seem to be doing it for me.

        1. Jersey Boy

          Thanks for the update

            maybe you could learn something!

      4. Saka_me_sideways
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        All these son owners giving it big licks to sellers, when they’ve then gotta sit through potentially 180mins of Salah and KDB, who people would of sold him for. haha!... enjoy.
        Maybe wait till the gw is over before getting too excited.

        1. JONALDINHO
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Real winners are the ones with Salah, KDB, Bruno and Son!

          1. Saka_me_sideways
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            True that.
            But on a BB the rest of the squad would be wafer thin.

          2. noahzark22
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Winners are the ones with Son and Barnes so far!

            1. pingissimus
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              The winning winners have Son Barnes and Antonio 🙂

        More like a Jose team now. Defend the 1-0 lead for 90 mins Spurs.

        Uncomfortable viewing without Son.

          Switch the telly off.

        Spurs seem incapable of sustaining momentum for more than 10 minutes.

        Can we please stop these goddamn toxic posts making fun of other people's decisions.

          You might as well delete your account I'd you want that. It'll never stop.

          And stop the very food source that keeps this place alive?

            Lol i shouldn't laugh, but it's kinda true

          I’ve been trying recently to be calm and happy even when someone I sold gets a big haul, it’s part of the game and if I get ‘punished’ then so be it, all part of the enjoyment

          1. Egg noodle
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            I agree. There is certainly no need to rub it in though.

          10 years on FFS and you're salty about a little banter. You must have been inactive when the lol@ posts were still allowed.

          1. Egg noodle
            • 14 Years

            Which is why they were stopped. That's my point.

          2. George Sillett
            • 8 Years

            There's a difference between banter and a lot of the brainless nonsense posted on here.

            lol sounds about right

          If you want a fluffy , friendly place. The Internet is probably the wrong place for you tbh. FPL is highly competitive and we are all rivals.

          1. Egg noodle
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            It's one thing to state why a decision was good or bad... But just lolling at people with the only purpose to annoy them is uncalled for.

              Yer well the place is full of kiddie boppers . What do you expect . Seems to be a sudden surge of them lately.

          Interesting fact, 손흥민 (Son Heung Min) is actually pronounces Sone (as in phone) not Son as in Bun. Heung is is pronounced more like "Hng", the vowel sound is very short. Min is pretty much as it looks.

        Kane doesnt look threatening at all

        Just like the last time most of us sold him and he went on a run of 3 blanks

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          That's when he pops up and scores twice in the last 10 minutes to rub salt in the wounds of the non-owners like me.

          1. Nightcrawler
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            He hasnt scored or assisted in all 4 weeks i havent owned him this season. Youre safe

        Sheff Utd are incredibly poor going forwards. A long hoof to nobody in particular appears to be the norm.
