Kieran Trippier has once again been a standout player for Tottenham this season, playing a key part in four clean sheets and chipping in with four assists and a goal too.
His impressive form has seen him earn 59 Fantasy Premier League points.
In Gameweeks 13 and 14, however, the full-back was sidelined with a groin injury, but the defender could now be set to return in Gameweek 15.

“Full-back Kieran Trippier, who has also had a groin issue, is in the final stages of rehabilitation.”
Though the full-back missed the north London derby it sounds like he could return in time for Tottenham's fixture against managerless Southampton in Gameweek 15.
Should I sign him?
Possibly.
It sounds like Kieran Trippier's spell on the sidelines is set to come to a close.
Pochettino may have been reluctant to bring Trippier back into the fold for a fearsome north London derby and the prospect of a weak Southampton side will be much more appealing for the returning player.
Expect the full-back to feature in Gameweek 15.
Potential replacements
Patrick Van Aanholt (£5.4m). The Eagles are set to embark on a kind run of fixtures, facing Brighton, West Ham and Fulham in the next three gameweeks. Recruit the Dutchman if you’re after a good value defender.
Antonio Rudiger (£6m). Though very much in the shadow of fellow Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso in FPL terms, he has quietly racked up an impressive points total.
Fabian Delph (£5.3m) is currently covering for an injured Benjamin Mendy in Man City's defence and could benefit from the league leaders' tendency to pick up clean sheets. Swap him in as a cheap alternative to Trippier.
i verdict
Kieran Trippier look set to return for Gameweek 15 – consider featuring him in your side if a new defender is a priority.
