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

    WTF was that?
    My goodness! What a goal!

    Ok wow. Was it a cross though?

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      No he knew what he was doing there.

    2. TomSaints

      Yep no way that’s intentional. Just kicks out

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

        Not a chance. He meant that, great goal.

          No way, he’s just trying to flick back across goal. Jose doesn’t allow flair finishes like that

            Fair point. Surprised he didn't ask the ref to scratch it off and give a goal kick

    Rubbish, commentator. Ndombele definitely did not look up and see the keeper off his line and that could easily have been an intended cross.

      He is awful like.

        Commentator - yes. Ndombele? no

        Did well to hook it back into the danger area.

      It's like Ings the other week - it's a "get it in the danger area" ball, maybe it finds a teammate, maybe it gets cleared and you win a corner, maybe it goes in. They fawned over Ings finish, but when interviewing him he was very coy about whether he meant it as a shot.

    Norwood is awful

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

    José out

  7. ZLNR
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What a goal

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

    That’s an incredible chip to be fair to the lad

    Channeling his inner Dimitar Berbatov

  9. Niho992

    Ramsdale is probably worst GK in the league.

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

      It was a good goal to be honest

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Great goal but his movement is awful.

    2. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years

      Tempted to TC Bruno next week

    3. REDMOND IN SANDALS

      was about to comment this an hour ago

    Is it true that Ramsdale got most saves of all keepers in 2020 in top5 leagues? Read that somewhere but hard to imagine.

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      because bournemouth played 0 at the back

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

      Maybe the ball hit him the most times as Sheffield United are so bad

  11. Ze_Austin
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What an [expletive] goal!

  12. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    That's filthy!

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

    Irrelevant goal for us

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

      Nope. Now Son and Kane can be rested.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      For you maybe but every goal counts one way or the other

  14. Bielsa Murderball
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Watching spurs play is like the thumbnail pic

  15. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    That is goal of the season surely.

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

      Lanzini's goal is the best so far

  16. Sif
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    That goal was filth

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

    My mind:It can be 2-2
    5 second later:1-3

    1. GROBARI
      • 3 Years

      Seconds*

    Need a Kane booking

    1. mezza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      And a SHU goal to kill Kane winning goal bonus

  19. Hulk Smash
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Mark must be fuming with McGoldrick scoring a week late

  20. _Gunner
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Need another Kane goal

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

      great minds

  21. badgerboy

      NDomballon'Dore!

  22. BenDavies

    Another Kane goal please

  23. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Ramsdale will be relegated two seasons in a row. Has that happened to another player before?

    1. diesel001

      Neil Redfearn

  24. Alisson WondHaaland

    Spurs clean sheet wiped
    Irrelevant goal taking baps away from Kane and Son

    As a owner of no Spurs, Ill take it

    1. Mweene
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Isn't Kane still on 3?

      1. badgerboy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yep

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

        Yes

  25. 272MK

    Come on Kane assist Son pls for the love of god

  26. ivantys
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Son massive fail, Rashford would easily outscore him with a hit.

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

      We will see....

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

    Is it harsh to suggest that Ramsdale should have done better? The only way Ndombele could have scored was by lobbing him.

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

    Son absolutely nowhere to be seen in the BPS

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Until he scores.

  29. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Absolutely wonderful goal

  30. OverTinker

    3 years, 2 months ago

    So glad I kicked out Dier for Chilwel. Spurs always concede
