Antonin Kinsky emerges as timely solution to goalkeeper problem for Dream Team bosses but for how long?

ANTONIN KINSKY (£2.8m) has made an instant impact in the world of Dream Team. The Czech goalkeeper has banked 21 points from his first two outings since signing for Tottenham earlier this month. Kinsky was tossed in at the deep end in Gameweek 18 when he made his debut for Spurs against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg.
And he rose to the occasion with a mature performance, making six saves to keep the Reds at bay in a 1-0 victory for the hosts at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. He then followed that up with another clean sheet, albeit against non-league opposition in the form of Tamworth.
The 21-year-old earned three bonus points as part of an 11-point haul that made him the weekend's top-performing asset in his position. If Kinsky can complete a hat-trick of clean sheets on Wednesday night then Ange Postecoglou will be delighted as that would mean his side denied rivals Arsenal a goal at the Emirates in the highly-anticipated North London derby.
Barring a clanger against the Gunners, the former Slavia Prague custodian is likely to be a popular recruit ahead of Gameweek 20 among gaffers in need of a fresh face between the sticks. Spurs are due to face low-scoring Everton in the league before a trip to Hoffenheim in the Europa League - the German outfit are 15th in the Bundesliga at present.
All things considered, the North Londoners will fancy their chances of keeping at least one clean sheet across that double header. Looking further ahead, Spurs will play Leicester and Elfsborg in Gameweek 21, which should also be considered a favourable prospect.
