Richarlison leads Spurs FPL tips ahead of GW1 vs Brentford

Richarlison is the player to watch for Fantasy Premier League managers selecting Tottenham assets ahead of Gameweek 1 against Brentford, according to Fantasy Football Scout.

The Brazilian forward scored his third pre-season goal against Hoffenheim on Saturday and was Spurs' top Premier League scorer in 2025/26. Despite starting only 20 games last season, Richarlison registered 61 shots, 19 big chances and led the squad in expected goals (xG). He currently sits at just 2% FPL ownership at a price of £6.0m.

Over his FPL career, Richarlison has recorded 117 attacking returns, 92 bonus points and averaged 147 points per season.

Pedro Porro (£5.5m) is Tottenham's most-selected FPL asset, appearing in over 1.3 million teams ahead of the deadline. The World Cup winner contributed a goal and three assists in the Premier League last season, kept nine clean sheets and created 53 chances — 14 more than any other defender in the game. He also recorded 18 Defensive Contribution points.

Jan Paul van Hecke (£5.0m) and Marcos Senesi (£6.0m) saw FPL ownership rise following Saturday's clean sheet against Hoffenheim. Van Hecke registered 12 defensive contributions in that match and made 15 such returns across 36 appearances for Brighton last season. Senesi played 81 minutes in his first Spurs start.

Mathys Tel (£6.0m) leads the squad with four attacking returns across pre-season, having played 354 minutes — fewer only than Archie Gray (£5.0m) and Ben Davies (£4.0m).

Goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky (£4.5m) kept two clean sheets in pre-season and made three saves against Hoffenheim. He also kept the clean sheet on the final day of last season that secured Spurs' top-flight survival.

The Gameweek 1 FPL deadline is 6.30pm UK time on Friday, 21 August. Managers can make unlimited changes before then and may select a maximum of three players from any single Premier League club.
