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

      Did you C either of them? Think we may be 2 of the only few who held both.

    Kane punishing the DGWer sellers

    1. Garlana

      Well unless whoever they brought in scores more?

        Your logic doesn't work here Butters.

    2. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 9 Years

      Hardly a punishment......yet...

  3. BeWater

    Vardy is an absolute waste of space compared to Kane.

  4. Hattrick Harry
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    There’s 2 scorers and neither has man bun, something to think about.

    1. Kai
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No bun no man

    2. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Reported for being bunist.

  5. money face bandwagon

    u still have to waste another transfer doing vardy->kane

    For those holding Kane... Unlikely they've got the range of premium picks across midfield too.

    It's a trade off. This is how this game works.

    1. highsguy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Lol

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

      I have Kane, Salah, Son, Soucek

    3. Gross Blank Point
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I have KDB, Bruno, Son and Kane, can get Salah back to complete the 5 in 3 transfers, and still have double City defence.
      Swithering if it's worth holding them all though as I'd only have one playing keeper.

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

      I already had son bruno kdb salah but still sold him lol

  8. REDMOND IN SANDALS

    should have slide that to son ffs

  9. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    At least people only sold Kane to Vardy for a -2.

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      As things stands Vardy pretty much needs an assist to match him

  10. Slurpy

    3 years, 2 months ago

    My Kane to Vardy (C) baring fruits....

    1. Old Man

      I think that you mean bearing .... we don't want any naked fruits around here thank you. 😉

    DGW is such a myth. Worst thing ever.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet

    3. Sandy Ravage

      We say that every season, yet we fall for the allure

    4. Cilly Bonnolly

      No, they definitely exist.

  13. Duke Silver ☑

    It's quite amazing what Kane and Son do to your rank when you don't have them 😆

    1. Rains of Castamere
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Haha this is why I refuse to look

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Very true. Its just a good thing they'll be out if the way early with 18 teams yet to play...

      1. Duke Silver ☑
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I like that positive attitude. Never though of it like that. Can only be up from full time in this game!

  14. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Ramsdale should have done better

    1. Hattrick Harry
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      But he did not, Harry is punisher

  15. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Sheffield United are doing as bad as Derby because they've got a Ram between the sticks.

  16. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Kane and Son both 12.5m forwards next season?

  17. djman102
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Had a gut feeling Vardy would do well this week. Must have been something I ate. Hopefully he's fit for Chelsea so there is a chance.

    1. Custard Gannet
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Had the same feeling so made him captain. Seeing him hobbling off last night made me sick.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Something you eat gives feelings of a Vardy haul? What is this food?

      1. badgerboy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        MDMA

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Haha!

        2. djman102
          • 14 Years

          Yep..."My Doublegameweeker Missed Again"

  18. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    did a -8 for Kane, son, KWP to Salah, Chilly, Antonio

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ouch

    2. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Could pay off

    3. Garlana
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      That's not a terrible move. Could still work out if Kane and son stop now.

    4. REDMOND IN SANDALS
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      not that bad tbh chilly antonio will get more points in coming weeks

    5. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Plenty of chances for that to still pay off.

    6. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      That’s alright so far....

    7. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Will pay off I'm sure of it. I'll defo gain points from the move.

  19. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Glad I kept Kane this week.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Wel, yeah

  20. Slurpy
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    1 return from 6 so far with a hit

  21. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Kane gobbling up the baps....good lad

  22. Ha.
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Son to Kane would be nice

  23. Goodricke
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    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.

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Kane is pronounced Kane, unless it’s Harry himself saying it.....

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Top prize for the most intellectual post of the day.

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Do I get second prize?

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Pat on your back

          1. Jafooli
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            I’ll take it....

            1. La Roja
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              😛

        2. Goodricke
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Only if you didn't sell kane for Vardy like i did!

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

          Of course - you get two bonus, Goodricke gets three.

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Hmmm... not sure... Why don’t the South Korea fans pronounce his nickname as “Sony” (as in PS5) if that’s the case?

      (They actually call him “Sonny” as in Vito Corleone’s kid)

      1. Goodricke
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Because the Japanese colonised Korea for 35 years (1910-1945) and treated the population as slave labour. They even tried to ban them using their own language. Japanese association isn't sought after here (I live in Korea)

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I see - Would that not make them pronounce it more like Sone-y though, than Sonn-y?

          Pretty sure in the All or nothing documentary lots of his Korean fans pronounced it thus, but interesting insight nonetheless thx

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Maybe regional accents are a factor - are there many accents in South Korea that would skew the pronunciation?

            It would be a bit like someone going to Korea and saying “They pronounce John Smith like this in England”...

            Whereas a Geordie saying “John Smith” will be different to a Scouser, who will be different again to a Brummie, who will be different again to a Cockney etc, etc

            Same in the US, NooYawk vs Ellabama vs Texas vs Montana vs California etc

      2. Supersonic Marv'
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Looks like you just disputed Korean pronunciation with a Korean person. God I love the internet.

        1. Goodricke
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I'm not Korean, just live here.

          1. Supersonic Marv'
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Close enough.

    4. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      The Min section is slightly more toward the ‘mean, end but hardly much, other than that aye

      1. Goodricke
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        That's why i said "pretty much" as some regional dialects shorten the sound to sound like Min.

        1. Danno - Emre Canada
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          1. Danno - Emre Canada
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Yep

  24. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    This would be 2-2 right now without Dier.

    Oh dear, Kane to vardy fail

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It's alright, Vardy might be playing is next.

  26. james 101
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I swapped Som and Kane to Maddy and Firmino.

    Not sure how it’ll work out but its just a game.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Probably badly

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Could easily yes. I can come to terms with that!

    2. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      *Sone

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years

        Sony?

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

      Mine was Kane+Son to Sterling and Rashford. Jury still out but likely to be a failure.

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yes. But the ride lasts a bit longer...
