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

      He might get a hat-trick of completed passes perhaps. Maybe.

    Kane and Son are such consistent scorers!

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Top FPL score tables for mid and forward

  3. 272MK

    I need Son Kane to haul and Salah(C) to haul more than KDB to make up for me missing the deadline and not doing
    Son > KDB(C)
    Kane > Antonio

    I honestly would take it if it's 15pts less

  4. PogChamp

    Cresswell top of the defender points table. He's already got 10 baps. My best pick of the season so far.

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

      He's a bap magnet and found out exactly why when i watched west ham yesterday

      Very composed on the ball

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

        Yeah he was great yesterday

      2. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        He's overpriced. Coufal creates similar number of chances for less.

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Cresswell 85 pts Coufal 58 pts

    2. The Red Devil
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Brilliant defender, shame I can't afford him, had to be content with coufal, hopefully he hauls in the second game

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

        Coufal is still nice. Gave West Ham double defence a lot of thought but went with Antonio instead.

    3. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Enjoyed the cressy wagon for weeks but went to coufal on wc, 2 points less but a lot cheaper

  5. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I want Kane and Son to score an inordinate number of goals to justify my BB.

  6. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is KDB going to start tonight?

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

      WHy not?

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

        I don’t know - I’ve triple captained him and I’ve got the fear. I’ve a history of bad triple captains

        1. Botman and Robben
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Not worse than mine. I TC'd Mane for 3 points in total.

          1. The Red Devil
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            I'd TC sterling for his 1 pointer last season

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Hopefully but why not?

  7. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is KDB(-4) gonna outscore Kane ?

    1. Hits from the Bong
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    3. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
      • 11 Years

      Its a matter of wait and see because Spurs can score 7 goals and I guess you already know Kane's involvement in Spurs goals..

    4. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Hope not

  8. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    On an unrelated topic, those with meslier owners, what're you doing? I can move him on for McCarthy or take a hit to get Martinez

  9. Hits from the Bong
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone regretting not TCing Salah? Think I messed up

    1. 272MK
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Y

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not even having him, disaster waiting to happen

    Matip not pictured with Liverpool squad.

    The end is nigh.

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

      If it was, I’d have report you to Operation Yewtree...

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

        😮

  11. Quan MisTaka
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    How is Kane on 30bps and Aurier on 18bps?

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

      Kane’s goal is worth 24 BPS.

      1. Quan MisTaka
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        are strikers goals worth more? Surely surier got winning goal bps?

        Is there a list of bps for action somehwere?

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

          Q1. https://fantasy.premierleague.com/help/rules

          Q2. Winning goal baps added at the end of the end I believe

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

            Q3. See Q1.

            nice one pal, thank you

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Clean sheet not factored in yet?

      • Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Fwds get ridiculous amount of points for a goal, Aurier CS points yet to be added...

      • diesel001
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        FWDs get more bps for a goal than DEFs. Because FWDs job is to score goals. DEFs job is to keep CS.

      • Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        You get 25 for scoring as a forward.

      • GROBARI
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Kane created big chance for Son and cs is not factored in

      • Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Wait for the CS bps

      • Jersey Boy
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Forward gets considerably more baps for a goal than a defender does

      • Yes Ndidi
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        You get extra bps for being England Captain

    3. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      SHU look like they'll score soon

    4. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Son was in there, strange to pull it back

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks for your advice on keeping kane . I probably would have done it but you just gave me that extra little push 😉

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          No probs, bit early to fully judge though!

    5. Naby K8a
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Oh no Henderson at cb again

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Do they have any choice?

        1. Naby K8a
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          played Williams in the Spurs win but not really

          1. Magic Zico
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Too risky that but Henderson at the back is likely impacting attack

    6. Superflymonk

      The lord has been cautioned

      1. Duke Silver ☑
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Surely the Lord is the one who cautions.

      Utd fans...poools have been lost at home for more than almost 3 years right? As a Utd fan I feel this is our best chance considering our form/confidence and pools form and their defence..Tough coz they always on a high at home but gut says today is the day..

      That Spurs cleanie should have gone by yesterday.

      I took out Fernandez this week to play bench boost. I hope he gets a yellow card against Liverpool

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Taking out a Newcastle defender ain't so brave 😛

        1. noahzark22

          😀

      Ramsdale was such an awful signing for SHU. He looked crap at Bournemouth too so no pity for SHU. They should have known better.

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

        For sure

      2. GROBARI
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        They saw when he saved a penalty from Ings last season and thought like he is a Henderson v2.0

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

      If Kane comes away with 9 pts and Son only 5 I’ll feel hard done by as a Son owner

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

        If sours keep a cleanie it will most likely be 6 vs 8

    12. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ramsdale such a clown. Drop this guy, Wilder.

    13. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ramsdale worst keeper in the league

    14. 272MK
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Kane assist Son.

      Is that too much to ask for?

    15. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Kane -BPS

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

      Spurs' counter attacking is freaking scary. Every time Sheffield Utd give the ball away you feel they're going to score.

    17. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Kane not passing it today

    18. Deulofail

      3 managers in top 10k share my Arsenal triple up of Tierney, Saka & ESR. If you're out there, guys, let's Skype.

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I have arsenal triple up

        Ranked 1m tho 😀

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

          Which players?

          I'm 1.9m myself, so those 3 managers were not wise to copy my strategy.

    19. GROBARI
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Good old times when Lundstram was a defender in FPL

    20. MoSalad
      • 10 Years

      Why is this game going so slow!? Time for a Kane & Son rest me thinks.

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

        Yes please! I can see a Son goal before that rest comes though 🙁

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

      Another Kane goal with a non-Son assist please
