Which Spurs players are worth owning in FPL this season?

3,534 Comments
Share

Tottenham Hotspur players are causing some Fantasy Premier League managers dilemmas at the start of the season.

They have a favourable opening fixture at home to Aston Villa but with a trip to Manchester City in Gameweek 2 and relatively expensive price points, their assets could be the ones to miss out on those initial teams.

However, there are some encouraging reasons to own some of Mauricio Pochettino’s players at the start of the new campaign.

In this article we assess Spurs’ defensive and attacking potential based on last season’s underlying statistics.

As this analysis uses data from the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area, only those who have signed up for the 2019/20 season can access it in full.

    Who's the pick from the United defence?

    RMT rates Shaw quite highly and he compares quite well vs Maguire and AWB. I'm thinking he could be an exciting differential and more nailed than Zinchenko or Coleman now.

      AWBaps.

      The only risk with him is if United underperform, he will drop in price pretty hard.

        I had to include him as he is also likely to be on the move as Spurs want money for him.

        But it really is making for an exciting season. Especially as it is Arsenal, Spurs and United with the reinforcements.

        It’s a case of don’t fix what isn’t broken for LFC and City.

        No. I can't do that, he's an assist-machine.

        If Rashford starts rocking early doors, he could be pushing Vardy.

      With their fixtures just Perez is fine.

      the way I see it vardy and perez will be getting the goals and assisting eachother, they are my two priorities

    Heaton
    TAA VVD Digne
    Salah Sterling Moura Perez McGinn
    King Kean

    Have 2m ITB but that's for Moura to Son GW3. How can I get Wilson in for King?

        He may come off the bench GW1 so should be in contention to start GW2. Willing to take the risk.

    So this is where I’m at for GW1 currently

    Pope (Heaton)
    VanDijk Digne (one of Cathcart Chambers or Dunk)
    (S)alah Sterling Fraser Lucas Barkley
    King Deeney (Wesley)

    Any thoughts appreciated. May have gone a little heavy on the mids...

    why the love for Lucas? If (yes if) he blanks week 1 then he has coty/son back...seems like an early transfer out after one gwk?

      Don't like the early TOT fixtures. Move on IMHO.

      City aren't guaranteed a clean sheet, plus Ali has tweaked his hamstring which might give him more than two weeks.
