Tottenham Hotspur Vs Aston Villa FPL: Who Hauled And What It Means
The call — Spurs 2 Aston Villa 3 — GW5, September 19 Franck Manzambi scored, assisted and took two bonus points at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Thirteen points. He costs £5.9m. Almost nobody owns him — around 1 in 500 squads. He came off after 71 minutes with the return already banked.
Emi Buendía backed him up. A goal, three bonus, 12 points from 90 minutes. Same price, £5.9m, owned by fewer than 1 in 100. Nicolas Jackson scored too — six points at £6.5m, plus a yellow card. Kamara and McGinn each supplied an assist for six apiece. Five Villa players returned in one away game. No clean sheet at either end, so the defenders got nothing there.
Now the line most of you came for. Antonín Kinsky, £4.5m, owned by about 2 in 10 managers, made three saves, conceded three, took two points. That is a blank in a match Spurs lost at home. Pedro Porro, owned by roughly 1 in 12, lasted 18 minutes and finished with one point. Spurs have not said why he came off. Until they do, treat him as a doubt. James Maddison also went off inside 24 minutes for a single point.
The Spurs positives were thin. Jan Paul van Hecke scored and played 90 for six points at £4.9m, though he was booked. Conor Gallagher came on and scored inside six minutes — six points from six minutes at £5.3m, owned by almost no one. Kudus assisted before going off at half-time.
What it means for the deadline. Kinsky owners hold — two points is a bad week, not a reason to move at £4.5m. Porro owners wait for Spurs to confirm his condition before doing anything; an 18-minute exit is the fact, the cause is not yet known. The action is on the Villa side. Two midfielders at £5.9m returned double figures in the same away match, and the team put three past Spurs with contributions from five players. Manzambi sits top of that list: goal, assist, bonus, and a price the budget takes without strain.
The call: buy Manzambi at £5.9m. Hold Kinsky. Do not touch Porro until Spurs speak.
