@FPLReaction' first FPL draft

Best Tottenham picks from 2021/22

Last modified date

Antonio Conte’s arrival at Spurs transformed their season. The Lily Whites were in ninth when Conte arrived and finished in fourth taking the final Champions League spot. We take a look at who the best FPL picks from Spurs were this season. Understanding the top picks from 21/22 will aid FPL managers planning ahead of the 22/23 season.

Spurs assets were popular picks with FPL managers this season. For a number of managers towards the end of the season tripling up on the North London team was a great strategy. However, deciding on which three was a challenge. Son Heung-Min was then most popular pick at Spurs. By Gameweek 38 he was owned by 35.6% of managers. Harry Kane was second owned by 23.4% with Dejan Kulusevski third at 10.9% owned.

Top for FPL points

Son was Spurs’ top points scorer this season as well as being the top scorer in the game. The midfielder returned 258 points. This was 66 points more than Harry Kane who was second for points scored at Spurs.

  • Son Heung-Min – 258
  • Harry Kane – 192
  • Hugo Lloris – 158
  • Eric Dier- 132
  • Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg – 109
  • Ben Davies – 105
  • Sergio Reguilon – 104

Top goal scorer

Tottenham scored 69 goals this season.

Son was Spurs’ top goal scorer this season with 23 goals. He was tied top for goals scored this season across the league and shared the Golden Boot with Liverpool’s Mo Salah. Only two Tottenham players scored more than ten goals this season.

Best defensive numbers

Spurs kept 16 clean sheets this season. Only Man City and Liverpool kept more than the North London side. They conceded 40 goals, only beaten by Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea.

Eric Dier and Hugo Lloris were the only defensive members of the Spurs team who registered all 16 clean sheets. Dier was the top defender clearances and blocks at Spurs this season. He also registered one attacking returns during the campaign.

Reguilon supplied 84 crosses this season. This was second at Spurs with only Son managing more.

Overall

Spurs look set to invest in their squad ahead of the 2022/23 season. Therefore managers should think carefully about who they invest in and the impact that will have on FPL. Son, Kane and Kulusevski look set to be important FPL assists next season too. Especially in a full season together and a first full season under Conte. When the fixture lists are announced on the 16th of June managers will likely be deciding how many Spurs players they can afford, especially if Kulusevski and Son take the price rises the FPL community are anticipating.
