Tottenham Fantasy Guide 2026/27: Best Picks for Sleeper and Fantrax

Last updated: Gameweek 6 · October 4, 2026

Tottenham fantasy picks 2026/27

Tottenham’s defence is their main fantasy asset this month, with two clean sheets already and 10 goals conceded across six gameweeks—placing them among the league’s tighter units. Their attacking output has been modest so far, but their next three fixtures (Manchester United away, Coventry home, Chelsea away) will test both their discipline and their ability to create chances. In category-scoring leagues like Sleeper and Fantrax, Tottenham’s defensive volume and set-piece activity make them worth targeting selectively.

Tottenham fantasy tiers

Best Tottenham fantasy assets

Van Hecke (Spurs, DEF)

Van Hecke is Tottenham’s standout fantasy asset at 63rd in the overall InfoSport Points ranking. He averages 9.87 points per 90—the 8th-best rate in the squad—and leads all Spurs outfield players with 33 clearances, blocks and interceptions. With two clean sheets and 10 tackles already, he projects 7.4 InfoSport Points next gameweek, despite a foot injury leaving him at 75% chance of playing.

Bentancur (Spurs, MID)

Bentancur ranks 104th overall and offers elite defensive work for a midfielder: 15 tackles—1st in the squad—and 22 clearances, blocks and interceptions. His 7.88 points per 90 makes him unusually valuable in category-scoring leagues where defensive volume counts. At just 0.2% FPL ownership, he is severely under the radar despite consistent 60+ minute appearances.

Sávio (Spurs, MID)

Sávio leads the squad in expected assists with 0.70 and grades at 7.77 points per 90 over five gameweeks. He plays 64 expected minutes against Manchester United, Coventry and Chelsea, making him a high-upside option in the attacking third. At 0.6% FPL ownership, he is undervalued relative to his creative threat.

Set pieces and penalties

Penalties: Solanke is the primary taker, followed by Marmoush and Kudus.

Corners and indirect free kicks: Pedro Porro is first choice, with Sávio, Tel, Fernandes, Maddison, Robertson, Kudus and Marmoush in the secondary order.

Direct free kicks: Pedro Porro leads, followed by Tel, Marmoush, Maddison and Kudus.

Defensive value and clean-sheet outlook

Tottenham’s defence is the foundation of their fantasy appeal in Sleeper and Fantrax. Their 10 goals conceded in six games ranks among the stingier units in the league, and both centre-backs have high expected defensive contributions (0.69 and 0.59 xG against them respectively).

However, the next three fixtures—Manchester United away (difficulty 4), Chelsea away (difficulty 4) and Coventry home (difficulty 2)—will pressure this advantage. Van Hecke and Van de Ven are still worth holding for their tackle and clearance volume regardless of clean-sheet outcomes, particularly in leagues that reward defensive actions.

Fixture outlook

Tottenham’s next six gameweeks begin with a tough away trip to Manchester United (difficulty 4), followed by a home match against Coventry City (difficulty 2) and another hard away fixture at Chelsea (difficulty 4). Gameweeks 9–11 offer two favourable home fixtures against Crystal Palace (difficulty 2) and Ipswich Town (difficulty 2), with a mid-table Leeds side away in between (difficulty 3). The early-month schedule is a test of squad depth; the late-month slate rewards patient owners.

Players to avoid

Pedro Porro (DEF): 75% chance of playing with hamstring injury, only 39.6 expected minutes and 3.21 projected points. Bench him until he returns to 90-minute status.

Kinsky (GK): 4.8 points per 90—the lowest of any Spurs player ranked in this guide. Goalkeepers need clean sheets and saves to deliver value; his projections offer neither consistently.

Maddison (MID): Only 15.7 expected minutes and 1.82 projected points. Not yet a consistent starter; monitor his role before drafting or adding.

Frequently asked questions

Who is the best Tottenham player for fantasy?

Van Hecke is the top Tottenham asset, ranking 63rd overall in InfoSport Points with 9.87 points per 90. His 33 clearances, blocks and interceptions, two clean sheets and 10 tackles make him a cornerstone pick in category-scoring leagues where defenders accrue more points than in FPL. Bentancur and Sávio are next, offering defensive and creative value respectively.

Who takes penalties for Tottenham?

Solanke is Tottenham’s primary penalty taker, with Marmoush and Kudus as backups. Penalties are rare in any season, but Solanke’s first-choice status makes him the only realistic scoring path from the spot.

Are Tottenham defenders good fantasy picks?

Yes. In Sleeper and Fantrax, where defensive actions reward points, they rank well above their FPL ownership. Robertson and Van de Ven are both available and worth owning.

Bottom line

Van Hecke and Bentancur lead the InfoSport Points rankings for Tottenham and offer the most reliable production for Sleeper and Fantrax managers. Avoid the injured or under-minutes players—Pedro Porro, Kinsky and Maddison—and target the squad’s defensive volume and set-piece roles in the attacking midfield.
