Tottenham Hotspur FPL: Who To Own, Captain And Avoid
The call — Spurs: kind fixtures for the front end, ugly ones for the back — and yet the best buys are defenders Here's the awkward bit up front: our model has Spurs' clean-sheet prospects as rough over the next six, and it still likes their defenders more than anyone else in the squad. That's not a contradiction. It's a floor argument, and…
What has not being with FFIQ cost you this season?
One squad, picked before a ball was kicked and run for six gameweeks on three transfers — no hits taken. Scored on FPL’s own results.
Your name and your FPL team name. That is all it takes, and we will have your answer before you have finished reading this sentence.

No FPL password, ever. We only read what FPL already publishes.
Start with the fixtures: BRE (A), NEW (H), NFO (A), EVE (H), AVL (H), MUN (A). For attacking returns that's a genuinely friendly run — Spurs sit around seventh-best going forward in our rankings, and there are goals in those games. For shutouts it's less charming; they're a mid-table tenth defensively, and Brentford away, Newcastle and United away are not where clean sheets go to thrive.
So who do you actually buy? Senesi, £6.0m, tops our list — projected for roughly 24 points over the six, call it 4 a week, which is proper defender money even with the clean-sheet picture being what it is. Only about 1 in 10 managers own him. If £6.0m stings, Van Hecke at £5.0m is the pragmatist's version: around 21 points projected, similarly owned, and a full million cheaper. That's the pick I'd make with a tight budget, and I usually have one.
Kinsky at £4.5m is the template goalkeeper — about 2 in 10 already have him — but 14 points over six is enabler money, not a reason to move. Fine if he's already in your side; not a transfer.
The attacking angle is the quiet one. Fernandes, £6.0m, owned by hardly anyone — about 2 in 100 — is projected for roughly 21 points over the run, which for a six-quid midfielder in an attack with these fixtures is tidy. Richarlison at the same price projects a touch less, and our model ranks him below Fernandes for a reason, so don't get romantic about the forward slot.
The honest caveat: a tough clean-sheet run means Senesi's big weeks may be rarer than his price suggests, and you're paying £6.0m largely for reliability rather than fireworks.
I'll take reliability. Buy Senesi if the budget's there; Van Hecke if it isn't. Start whichever one you land on every week through GW6.
