As the new Premier League season kicks off, Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers worldwide are busy fine-tuning their squads to maximize points from the very first gameweek. Tottenham Hotspur, with their dynamic squad, offers several enticing options for FPL managers. Here are the three best Tottenham players to transfer in for Gameweek 1.
Top Tottenham Players To Consider For FPL Gameweek 1
Son Heung Min – The Consistent Performer – £10 Million
The Spurs captain has been a cornerstone of their attack for several seasons. The South Korean is known for his versatility, pace, and clinical finishing, and also as a player who delivers points consistently. Son’s ability to score and assist makes him a valuable asset in FPL. He has a knack for being in the right place at the right time, whether it’s finishing off a counter-attack or providing a crucial pass.

In Gameweek 1, Tottenham faces a favourable fixture against newly promoted Leicester City with the 32-year-old scoring a hat-trick last time against them bringing his tally to ten goals and five assists. His form in pre-season has also been promising, netting twice against Team K League, indicating that he is ready to hit the ground running.
Dominic Solanke – £7.5 Million
Following the departure of Harry Kane, Tottenham desperately needed a reliable striker to convert their scoring opportunities last term. They addressed this issue by acquiring English striker Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth. The 26-year-old, who previously impressed at Bournemouth by setting a new club record for most goals in a single Premier League campaign, is no stranger to the pressure of playing for a top-tier team, having previously been with Chelsea and Liverpool.

Son spoke highly of the Chelsea academy graduate describing him as a ‘huge‘ signing for the team. With the partnership of the South Korean and Kulusevski in the flanks, it’s reasonable to expect Solanke to net over 20 league goals for his new team making him an exciting prospect for Gameweek 1.
Pedro Porro – £5.5 Million
Pedro Porro has emerged as an indispensable player in the world of Fantasy Premier League, following his stellar performances under the guidance of manager Ange Postecoglou. Priced at an affordable £5.5 million, Porro has been a top pick for many fantasy football managers. The versatile Tottenham full-back ended the 2023/24 campaign with an impressive tally of 136 points, with 20 of those points coming from bonus points.

Porro’s ability to deliver crosses, take set-pieces, and join the attack makes him a valuable FPL asset for Gameweek 1.
Selecting the right players for your FPL team in Gameweek 1 can set the tone for the rest of the season. Son, Solanke, and Porro are three players who offer a mix of consistency, potential, and differential value.
