Richarlison emerges as bargain forward option for Dream Team bosses amid Tottenham’s impressive start

SO far so good for Tottenham.

Having overseen a 3-0 win over Burnley in his first home game in charge, Thomas Frank masterminded a 2-0 victory at the Etihad in Gameweek 2 to keep the positivity flowing.

It’s still early days but Dream Team points have come easily for Spurs assets so far.

Guglielmo Vicario (£3.8m) is currently top of the goalkeeper rankings having pouched 18 points from his two outings.

No keeper has made more saves than the Italian at this stage.

A pair of clean sheets has also served the back four well; Pedro Porro (£5.1m), Cristian Romero (£3.6m), Micky van de Ven (£3.8m) and Djed Spence (£3.8m) are all in comfortably into double figures.

In midfield, Brennan Johnson (£4.7m) has picked up where he left off with two goals in as many outings.

The Wales international was the club’s top scorer in 2024/25 and it seems he’s intent on retaining his crown.

Antoine Semenyo (£4.8m) is the only midfielder with more points to his name than Johnson right now, the Bournemouth star has 22 to the latter’s 19.

No Spurs player has started better than Richarlison (£3.3m).

The Brazilian forward has notched 23 points via two goals and an assist, making him the most successful asset in his position and third overall.

The 28-year-old took advantage of an ill-timed Dominic Solanke (£4.7m) injury in pre-season to become Frank’s starting striker and there’s no reason for the Danish coach to stray from Plan A after a such an encouraging start to the campaign.

Richarlison has emerged as an appealing Dream Team option, an affordable one at that.

Spurs are due to host Bournemouth in Gameweek 3 while Gameweek 4 brings a favourable trip to West Ham as well as the start of the Champions League league phase.

Dream Team bosses should ensure their XI is stacked with players active in Europe once the midweek fixtures start coming thick and fast.

The outlook might be different come the Gameweek 4 deadline and this Thursday’s Champions League draw will have a significant bearing on things but at this stage a Spurs-heavy strategy looks viable.

At the time of writing, Johnson and Richarlison are the second and third-most recruited players ahead of Gameweek 3 respectively.
