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

    Kane - *breathes*
    FPL - +3 bps

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

      Its same for all strikers

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

        Yeah that's true tbf. I'm just here wondering how he's on 40 bps 😆

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

        Absolutely not the same for all strikers

    2. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He’s not even very good at breathing

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Well, obviously...

  8. Niho992

    Liverpool winning goal from penalty in '94 pleaseeee

  9. FER FUSCH AKE

    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bruno will blank vs this Sheffield team, don't argue, I have the crystal ball.

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

      How much it cost?

  10. Salan
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    This Liverpool line-up makes some scores e.g. 5:3 or 6:2, being possible...

  11. Cok3y5murf
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What a massive fail for the smug Son owners

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

      Don't jinx it, wait for full time whistle.

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        If I do that, they'll call me captain hindsight...

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

      And yet not really, he got an assist you know?

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

        5 points really enough for a 9.7 player in a DGW

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

          not really enough*

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

      I know 🙁 it started so well! Very unlucky not to have more to be fair and was the right decision to keep.

    4. Flair
      • 3 Years

      Isn't it beautiful? Hubris coming back to bite them.

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

    That's a very small Liverpool side. Utd's in contrast have more aerial threats.

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

    Kane's BAPS are crazy, Son should be on 3 for being such a nice guy

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

      Kane has turned into an action man. He used to be more of a poacher like Vardy. Now he is more of an all-round player like Fernandes

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

      He hoovers them up through his open mouth as he runs around

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

    If you kept Son, you deserve about 5 points.

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

    HOW does Kane always end up with 3 BPS for just scoring a goal every time?!! It’s ridiculous!

    Other teams, a forward player scores, zero, Kane scores, 3 every time.

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

      He's always claiming BAPS that aren't his

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

        It’s an absolute joke it really is, defo fixed

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

      Antonio got 3 yesterday. It's weighed towards strikers getting goals.

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

        Used to be when FPL was good and fun, now it’s not. Rarely I see it for other strikers apart from fixed Kane

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

          Vardy, Antonio both do well in BAPS when they score.

    3. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Because they only get four points for scoring a goal

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

        What?

    4. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      3 years, 2 months ago

      Passes completed, chances created, doesn't get dispossessed much, doesn't generally miss big chances or commit many fouls and doesn't get caught offside a lot compared to other towards.

  16. @persecuted_by_mods
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Did son break fpl scoring records then? Was on a monster haul 10 mins in by all accounts

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

        still time.

      2. JJO

        You can relax your swingter now

    • Jindaljain
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Salah with Goal & assist and Robo with goal & assist and Bruno Goal..Best match ever it would be

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

      Kane wastes a son assist

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

        Kane subbed off

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

          Sorry its Son

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

            Understandable. Very difficult to tell them apart.

      2. The Train Driver
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        That was a sitter, crazy miss...

    • Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      This Liverpool team can either win 5-0 or lose 0-5. I hope it's the latter.

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

        that's so true.

    • The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Wow Kane wtf was that!!!!!

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

      Looks like spurs sellers got away with it.

      I was burned too badly by son earlier in the season. Disappointed but happy with decision to keep

      1. Tasty Jerk
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Sellers or free hit takers yeah - Kane to Antonio working out ok so far.

    • WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Son is wasted in this team, Kane ruining so many points for him

    • BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Son subbed off. kane to bag a hattrick in added time

    • diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Son off
      Vinicius on

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

        Real sold him? 😀

    • WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Son off instead of Kane to rub it in even more

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

      Got away with that, cheers Son. I’ll have you back in a few weeks, if you’re lucky!

    • DAZZ
      • 9 Years

      Non spurs owner, delighted with this. Could have been miles worse.

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

        Kane's 9 pointer is bad though.

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

        Yes have to be happy with 14 points between thm, always a good fixture and would have kept Son if it weren't for the KDB shaped hole in my team

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

      Son 5 pointer. That's some good damage limitation.

    • Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      After Son's haul today its very unlikely Son -> KDB hits will pay off... unlucky those who did it, hard to predict a haul like this against sturdy Sheffield.

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

        Yeah, difficult to make up for that mega haul from son

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

      Ndombele nailed and worth a punt at 5.9 cant be any worse than souceck
