Jan Paul Van Hecke was Tottenham's top Fantasy Premier League scorer in Gameweek 4, earning eight points in the 0-0 draw with Everton, as Spurs prepare to host Aston Villa in Gameweek 5.
Van Hecke's haul included two appearance points, four clean sheet points and two defensive contribution points — awarded to defenders who make 10 or more defensive actions in a game. Andy Robertson (£4.4m) and goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky (£4.5m) each registered seven points in the same fixture.
Kinsky's tally included a save point for three saves, while Robertson picked up a bonus point. Captain Micky van de Ven finished on six points after also collecting appearance and clean sheet points.
Winger Savio (£6.5m) was unfortunate not to register an attacking return, supplying seven crosses and creating four chances — the most of any Spurs player — and was involved in 43 per cent of the team's shots and chances created in GW4.
Fantasy Football Scout have spotlighted Rodrigo Bentancur (£5.5m) ahead of GW5. The Uruguayan midfielder has accumulated 10 FPL points across three starts this season and leads Spurs for interceptions in that period. He registered 17 defensive contributions against Nottingham Forest in GW3, earning two defensive contribution points, and narrowly missed the threshold in his other two starts.
Kinsky remains Spurs' most-transferred-in asset, with over 54,000 managers adding the Czech goalkeeper following his GW4 clean sheet. Van Hecke has averaged 5.7 points per start over the last three matches, registering an FPL point every 15.9 minutes.
As a hidden gem pick, Fantasy Football Scout highlight Nottingham Forest defender Daniel Munoz (£5.4m), who created four chances and supplied four crosses on his first Premier League start for Forest in GW4. Forest host Coventry City in GW5.
The GW5 transfer deadline is Friday, 18 September at 6.30pm UK time.
