Fantasy Watch View: Make Tottenham captain Son your skipper too, drop Kulusevski
‘We are top of the league’ rang out proudly around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Spurs put Fulham to the sword in a 2-0 win on Monday (23 October).
Ange Postecoglou’s side remained unbeaten in the Premier League as goals from Son Heung-min and James Maddison – his first home goal for the club – defeated the Cottagers at The Lane.
They can cement their position by beating Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Friday as Spurs prepare for a quick turnaround between matches.
But which Spurs players should you play and which should you drop for your own Fantasy teams? Using the Premier League’s official Fantasy game we look at who scored well and who didn’t against Fulham.
Boost your points by captaining Son
With Hugo Lloris ostracised and Harry Kane sold in the summer, Son has really stepped up as captain and is flourishing as a leader of this side.
He top-scored for Spurs with 14 points after grabbing a goal and an assist, finishing top of Sofascore’s ratings with an 8.9.
Moreover, he has scored seven times against Palace in 14 Premier League matches (Transfermarkt), so a one-in-two rating are odds that might work in your favour.
Maddison remains a top performer, having finished with nine points, while Cristian Romero scored eight and would represent a good option for your defence.
Kulu underwhelms
Kulusevski has, generally, been quietly excellent for Tottenham this season but he did not have his best game against the Cottagers.
The Swedish winger managed to rack up just three Fantasy points, while he was the lowest-ranked Spurs player on Sofascore with a 6.5
He did make one key pass but had an overall pass success rate of only 68 per cent and failed to produce a shot on or off target.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg registered only two points but does have the difficulty of being a more defensive-minded midfielder, but with Yves Bissouma back from suspension, the Dane is probably worth keeping out of your teams.
