Which Spurs players are worth owning in FPL this season?

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.

    Harry Kane or Auba?

    1. FPL Dakes
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I’d be tempted to go with Auba for now.

    2. hogree
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If I was to hit the price point, Auba for two gameweeks and then shift to Kane for GW3. Villa looking strong for GW1 after pre season

    Arsenal are in shambles fella

    1. Mama Murphy's chair
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Why is that?

  4. Oh Mane Mane
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this? Trying to fit the big 3 in, don’t think it looks too bad actually.....

    Ryan
    VVD Robertson AWB Zinchenko
    Salah Sterling Perez Robinson
    Kane King
    (4.0, 4.0, 4.0, 4.5)

    1. Don Custard Rovers
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      But that bench...

    2. Mama Murphy's chair
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Except for Robinson and bench looks really good.

      1. Oh Mane Mane
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Robinson a bit risky but has looked decent in pre season

    3. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Good. Your bench is stretched but with 3 big hitters that's expected

    4. hogree
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Really not bad at all. Quite tempting although Bournemouth firing early could hurt

      1. hogree
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Actually just noticed King. No dramas

  5. hogree
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this 3-5-2 lads?
    Heaton
    VVD - TAA - Digne
    Salah - Sterling - Perez - Fraser - Zaha
    Wilson - Wesley

    4.0 - 4.5 - 4.0 - 4.0

    1. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Zaha didn't participate in any friendlies

      1. hogree
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thinking ahead for Everton transfer and he's back in training but could shift to same price point?

    2. Mama Murphy's chair
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If you're happy with Wesley then pretty solid team.

  6. Rider on the Storm
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Kane
    Or
    Sterling
    ?

    1. POLSKA GOLA
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Do you have Salah as well?
      If captaining one of them GW1 than Kane. Otherwise Sterling.

      1. Rider on the Storm
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yes Salah in my team too

        1. POLSKA GOLA
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Than Sterling over Kane and captain Salah

    2. QUEN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling

    3. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling

    4. Clogstar
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Great British Pound Sterling

      1. POLSKA GOLA
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Not so great recently lol

    5. Mama Murphy's chair
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling!

  7. Clogstar
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    What we think?

    Pope (Stekelenburg)
    Robertson | Laporte | Guilbert | Montoya (Lundstram)
    Salah | Sterling | Perez | Martial (Dendoncker)
    King | Kane (Greenwood)

    1. Mama Murphy's chair
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Most people going 'heavy' at the back. Your defence bucks that trend.

  8. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Granville looks like Joe if he was stung by a very nasty bee

  9. Don Custard Rovers
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Alisson
    Zinch Robbo Coleman A.Smith
    Sterling Bernardo Salah Siggy
    Kean King

    Button-Montoya-Dendoncker-Wickam

    G2G ?

    1. Mama Murphy's chair
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Always looks odd seeing Alisson in goal.
      Can you downgrade GK and improve on Smith?
      Midfield looks awesome!

  10. Herman Toothrot

    Sterling // Salah // Perez // XXX // XXX

          B. KDB >> the others, and I like Robinson's prospects.

    2. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Anything but with Barkley

  11. SheBangsTheDrums
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Is Chambers nailed for ARS? Decent pick at 4.5?

    1. Shoplifters United
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Wondering the same.

    2. L S P
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      likely for at least the first couple

  12. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Which combo to go for?

    A) King + Fraser
    B) Wilson + Trossard/Robinson

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      b

    2. Shoplifters United

      I like B, with Robinson.

      1. DV8R
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Thanks that gives me an extra 0.5m to play around with 🙂

    3. Herman Toothrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      B with Robinson

  13. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Can I get some opinions on my draft please?

    Pickford
    VVD, WB, Digne, KWP
    Salah, Sterling, Martial, Perez
    Wilson, Wood

    Button, Wesley Dendonker, Lundstram

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't double up on Everton defence. Ditch Pickford.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Not fancying the 4.5 keepers. Was looking at Leno but Arsenal defence is terrible. Who would you go for?

    2. Mama Murphy's chair
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      2 Everton defence rather than 2 Liverpool or Man City?
      Can tell a ManU fan. If Martial playing Mids and Fwd's good.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        That’s due to money. I’d prefer double pool but can’t afford. Not sure about city defence.

  14. llopesso19
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    To Pulisic or not pulisic ? With pulisic 3D, without 4D

    1. Mama Murphy's chair
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'm waiting a week or two. But then I do play it safe.

  15. BOATIES FC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Would you rather have a; Robbo and a 4.5 (4.5 needs to play every week)
    Or b; Azpi and Maguire
    Rest of defence is Ryan VVD Digne and Zink

    1. Puncheon Guly
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Ditch Digne for Robbo

      1. BOATIES FC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        OK.. Ill have a look at that. Ty

  16. Don Custard Rovers
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed...

    Alisson
    Zinch Robbo Coleman A.Smith
    Sterling Bernardo Salah Siggy
    Kean King

    Button-Montoya-Dendoncker-Wickam

    G2G ?

    1. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure Kean will start gw1. I would prefer not to use a Liverpool slot on a keeper. That's just me...

      1. Don Custard Rovers
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        suggestions ?

    2. Mama Murphy's chair
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Downgrade Alisson, upgrade Smith.

  17. The Royal Robin
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    1 - Ederson AWB Trossard
    2 - Pope Zinchenko Fraser

    1. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Reshuffle all

    2. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      2

  18. I Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Trent or Robbo?

    Don't say both.

    1. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Not both

    2. Don Custard Rovers
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      robbo

    3. The Royal Robin
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Robbo seems more nailed, and on that basis I'm going with him but I think Trent will be more exciting to own.

    4. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Robbo, as TAA isn’t as good.

  19. TKC07
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Any Suggestions for GW1?

    Ryan (Button)
    TAA Digne KWP Rico (Lunds)
    Salah Sterling Trossard Perez (Dend)
    Kane King (Wesley)

    0.5 itb..

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Salah Sterling Kane + 12 lucky dips (actually 10 as TAA and Digne as very decent selections)

      The big three will nail the double digits and get 50 points between them

    2. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Suggestions.. Chambers instead of Rico

        cheers
        not seen many people picking firmino but against norwich surely he'll bring back a decent return, plus hes nailed to start

  21. FPL Dakes
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Feel like Perez could be a trap, but can’t really shake him from my drafts.

    Seems best option at that price? Likely to play forward w Vardy in an attacking Leicester team with Tielemans and Maddison supplying...

    Anyone got an argument against him bar fixtures? Who’s better at that price, and why?

    1. KGFC
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Nothing against Perez but just feel that Tielemans might be the best value @ 6.5

    2. The Royal Robin
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      6.5 for an OOP Leicester player who will score goals. What more do you want?

    3. @fpl_phenom
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I think hes an excellent pick... I wouldnt stress on him at all... Great value £6.5M IMO

      Barkley is a waste of a thought and has always been

    Pope - Button
    Van Dijk, Wan-Bissaka, Robertson, Zinchenko - Rico
    Salah, De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Barkley - Dendonker
    Aubameyang, Kean - Greenwood

      i was thinking of moise kean but is he nailed to start? and seems abit pricey at 7mil when there are bournemouth and wolves attacking options.
      both kdb and bilva is brave due to peps rotations but if they both start yuore in for a good gw

    2. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Think vvd and Digne would be better. Not a fan of Wesley. Moira could work out possibly. Good luck anyway
