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

    Shaquiri playing. Shock face

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Finally some creativity/Xfactor in the Liverpool midfield.

    knew ole was playing mind games with martial's fitness

    1. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      He did look injured when he came off at the end of the last game to be fair.

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

    Bailly was rock solid, why is he benched?

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

      Ole has account here?

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

      He's by far their best CB but very injury prone so probably managing him, they know they'll lose this game whatever

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

      God knows, I'm so fuming that he isn't playing, add to that Martial starting as well.......

    4. MIDIMAN2010
      • 13 Years

      Bailey probably stood on a Lego or something

  4. Dannyb
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Devastated that Martial starts, we've got no chance with that donkey up top.

    1. Cantona's Kung Fu Kick

      This. Martial is trash

    2. George Sillett
      • 8 Years

      Lol "we've" .

      1. Dannyb
        • 6 Years

        Oh terribly sorry Sir, I do apologise, I've obviously offended you.

          lol what's the problem there?

        2. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Not at all . Why would I be offended ? Just highly amusing . Makes it sound like your either playing today or part of the Man Utd coaching staff .

            Isn't it pretty common for football fans to refer to their teams as 'we' Mr Pedantic?

            1. George Sillett
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Not denying that it isn't common .

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

    2. Bank$y
      • 5 Years

      Some punter triple capped him for sure.

    3. Red Red Robins

      • 3 Years

      Took a punt on him too for DCL

    Salah upfront with shaqiri playing?

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

      Most likley

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Used to be the case didn’t it but so long since shaqiri was actually fit!!

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

      Could swing between 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 during the match, but my guess is that it's 4-2-3-1

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers. Could be a few goals in this one! (0-0 now I’ve said that)

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

    Cheapos who picked Bailly or Lindelol getting what they paid off. Constant rotation risk.

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Lindelol starting.

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

        This game yes. Benched last game. and against Fulham most likely.

  10. TRIPOS TOPPER

    good tactics from SHU today

    let in goal
    defend
    let in goal

    1. George Sillett

      More a case of " too crap to attack "

  11. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

    Let's go Salah(TC)!

  12. No Salah
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Pogba playing on left wing?!

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      The Gammons won't like that he's become left wing..

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He's out left midfield it seems

        Kane assist

    • BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Son goal ends my season. Kane goal saves my season.

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

      Lindelof over Bailly ... hmm not good

    • Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Any reason why Lindelof starting ahead of Bailly ?

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I think its for the culture.

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

        Ole has Lindelof

    • Party time
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Pogba playing LW?

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years

          Hopefully.

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

            Yup. Looks like that to me

          2. Party time
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Most likely

        3. Herman Toothrot
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Salah RC and Rashford hatrick please.

          Cheers.

          • 3 Years

          Jose,i think you have same players playing 82 minutes

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

          Can’t understand how Son has not scored yet ! That sitter he missed would have gotten him to 13 points by now :/

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

          Only Salah (C) can save this GW. Come on Salah, come on you mighty reds !!!

        7. THFC4LIFE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Salah likely upfront with that formation, worried as a non-captainer

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

          I bet that Lucas is going to come on for Son

        9. Londongeezaa

          Anyone else feel chips are overrated?

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

            They are I've overrated if they fail & game changers when they don't.

            1. Party time
                3 years, 2 months ago

                Yes. True

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

              Only bench boost.

              Free Hit is great for BGWs when you can't structure your team over the medium term to have loads of players. TC is just a free punt. But BB is massively overrated, IMO. People restructure their squad for a one GW play.

              1. Party time
                  3 years, 2 months ago

                  Benchboost is the best chip

                • 4 Years
                3 years, 2 months ago

                Chips overrated?
                You mean you'd rather do without them???

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

                  Just too much emphasis is placed on them, when in reality they don’t make that much of a difference. Generally speaking of course.

              3. Party time
                  3 years, 2 months ago

                  Yes especially TC chip. I hate that chip

                • Patio Kev
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 10 Years
                  3 years, 2 months ago

                  BB and TC aren’t particularly helpful - 20 points ceiling.

                  FH is by far the best chip for the BGW’s especially for FAC weekends.

                Season already end
                sold Kane and Son -8 🙁

                  Did the players you brought in blank?

                    • 12 Years
                    3 years, 2 months ago

                    Salah and Vardy

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

                  • 9 Years
                  3 years, 2 months ago

                  because him and Lindelol are at the same level and both deserve starts.

                  1. Salah’s Sonnet
                    • 12 Years

                • 5 Years
                3 years, 2 months ago

                This could end in disaster. Terrible line up to play against United.

                Jose needing his first 11 to keep off the might Brewster and Sharp for the last 10 minutes
