Tottenham 0-0 Everton: FPL Lessons — Spurs Go Four League Games Without a Goal

The short answer

Tottenham's attack has moved from disappointing to a genuine FPL avoid.

The 0-0 draw with Everton means Spurs have failed to score in all four Premier League matches this season — the first time in the club's history they have opened a league season that way.

Tottenham have, however, kept consecutive league clean sheets.

Spurs attackers

Four blanks are no longer a one-week variance problem.

Verdict: avoid buying Spurs attackers until there is competitive evidence of improvement.

Kinský

Kinský costs £4.5m and has emerged as Tottenham's No.1.

Back-to-back clean sheets create a much stronger argument for him as a budget goalkeeper.

Verdict: BUYABLE.

Pickford

Pickford costs £5.5m and Everton's away clean sheet strengthens his reliability case.

He still needs to outperform £4.5m keepers enough to justify the extra budget.

OneFPL verdict

Avoid Spurs attackers. Kinský rises. Pickford rises. Both defences deserve more respect.
