The January wildcard presents a golden opportunity for Fantasy Premier League managers to reshape their squads, and Tottenham Hotspur players could offer unexpected FPL value in Gameweek 20.
As we enter the halfway mark of the Premier League season, Fantasy Premier League managers find themselves with a fresh wildcard to deploy.
This strategic opportunity comes as teams solidify their identities and fixtures take on a new importance, creating a critical moment to maximise points potential.
For many, this means delving into underappreciated assets from teams that have been quietly performing well. While defensive frailties remain a concern, Spurs have emerged as one of the most prolific scoring sides in the league.
In fact, at the time of writing, only Liverpool have netted more goals, making their attacking players a prime focus for Fantasy managers looking to capitalise on offensive returns.
If you are looking to integrate Tottenham players into your Fantasy Premier League wildcard squad for Gameweek 20, several options stand out due to their form, price, and potential for returns. Here are the key players to consider:
Djed Spence, priced at just £4.4 million and owned by a mere 0.1% of managers, presents a low-risk, high-reward opportunity.
Although Tottenham’s defence is not known for clean sheets, their attacking prowess makes Spence a viable choice, especially with Destiny Udogie’s absence opening up more playing time. His ability to contribute to attacking returns adds to his appeal.
Dejan Kulusevski
Dejan Kulusevski is another excellent option for this gameweek. The Swedish midfielder has been in stellar form, racking up 29 points in his last five Premier League outings.
With three goals and one assist in that span, his consistency is translating into valuable FPL points, making him a budget-friendly midfield pick with a high upside.
Dominic Solanke
Dominic Solanke, warrants inclusion as a wildcard differential. The forward has amassed 29 points in his last five appearances, matching Kulusevski’s output with three goals and one assist.
With favourable fixtures against Everton and Leicester in Gameweeks 22 and 23, Solanke is a strong replacement option for suspended Matheus Cunha.
Brennan Johnson
Lastly, Brennan Johnson provides another intriguing Tottenham option, though his lack of guaranteed minutes makes him a riskier pick compared to Kulusevski. Nevertheless, his attacking potential makes him a player to monitor for those seeking a punt.
Tottenham’s journey this season has been a revelation, but their defensive struggles might dissuade some Fantasy managers from investing heavily in their assets.
However, their attacking returns cannot be ignored, particularly when considering budget-friendly options like Spence and Kulusevski.
Kulusevski’s consistency is particularly noteworthy, as he has proven capable of delivering points even in challenging fixtures.
For managers seeking a reliable midfielder, he offers exceptional value for his price. Similarly, Spence’s potential to contribute to attacking play makes him a shrewd pick, especially as a bench fodder.
Solanke’s inclusion highlights the importance of fixture analysis in wildcard planning. While he may not carry the allure of premium forwards, his recent form and upcoming matches make him a strong differential pick.
