What it means for FPL managers
Sombath joins a Spurs side that showed defensive promise last season, making her a player to monitor closely once the game updates. Managers should currently hold off on any investment until her role and potential minutes in the starting XI become clearer through pre-season matches. Her arrival could signify a shift in defensive rotation, so keeping her on your watchlist is the most prudent approach for now. With Spurs looking to build on their previous campaign, she could offer differential potential if she secures a regular spot in the starting lineup.

The FPL verdict
Verdict: WATCHLIST - Sombath arrives as an established defender from a competitive league, suggesting she will likely slot into the mid-to-high price bracket for a defender once added to the game. Given her status as a club-record signing, she is expected to compete for a starting role, though early-season rotation is always a possibility for new arrivals adjusting to the pace of the Premier League.
