Fantasy Premier League

Fixture-loaded FPL options: Spurs

By The Scout 26 Jan 2022

The Scout says Harry Kane and Son Heung-min can thrive under Antonio Conte over rest of the season

The Scout pinpoints the key players in Fantasy Premier League from those sides who have the most matches in hand for the remainder of 2021/22.

Tottenham Hotspur

Antonio Conte's side have played just 20 matches in the first 23 Gameweeks, with only Burnley having fewer outings so far.

Spurs have no blanks on the horizon and have three fixtures yet to be rescheduled, against Burnley, Brighton & Hove Albion and Arsenal, which should lead to Double Gameweeks later in the season.

Hugo Lloris (£5.4m)

The Spurs goalkeeper has averaged 4.4 points per match since Conte took charge.

Lloris has kept five clean sheets in 10 outings for the Italian, also earning five save points and two bonus points in that run.

Although wing-backs Sergio Reguilon (£5.4m) and Emerson Royal (£5.0m) boast attacking potential, Conte’s recent rotation policy in defence suggests Lloris could be the go-to pick for managers looking to invest in the Spurs backline.

Son Heung-min (£10.6m)

The South Korean has been involved in 56 per cent of Spurs’ goals this season when selected, scoring eight and assisting a further five.

Son, who is expected to recover from a minor injury for Gameweek 24, has produced returns in each of his last six appearances.

Indeed, his average of 6.4 points per match (ppm) across the season ranks second only to the 8.9ppm of Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) among midfielders in Fantasy.
