Gameweek 26’s last hurrah has the potential to cause huge waves on the Fantasy landscape, given that the last five league meetings between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur harvested 23 goals. The Sky Blues are licking their wounds in the wake of a 3-1 defeat to Leicester City, while Spurs will attempt to record their fifth successive victory.

Tottenham were the league’s standout attacking force over the previous four Gameweeks, tallying the most goals (11), attempts (92), shots inside the box (54) and shots on target (36). They’ve typically excelled on their travels this term, too, ranking third for goals scored (22) and top for accurate shots (70). At the other end of the pitch, Spurs chart second-bottom for shots inside the box allowed (17) and joint-bottom for big chances conceded (three) since Gameweek 22.

Notwithstanding their disappointing display against the Foxes, Man City ranked fourth for goals (eight), joint-third for attempts (62), joint-third for shots inside the box (39) and fourth for shot-conversion rate (12.9%) over the last four Gameweeks. From a defensive perspective, Spurs will be heartened by the fact that only three teams conceded more big chances (seven) than Manuel Pellegrini’s charges during that period.

    Aguero or Lukaku?

      I'm dumping Lukaku.

      1. Numb
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Me too probably.

    4. VS10_
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Lukaku already gone.

      1. Numb
        10 years, 8 months ago

      I'm seriously considering selling Aguero for Vardy.

      In all honesty its not like Aguero's delivering you anything that Vardy isn't already delivering anyway.

      City are out of the title race now so will go all in for the cups and Champions League.

  2. Danstoke82
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Decent GW let down by captaining Aguero.

  3. Every Dog Has Its Day
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Oh well! Congratulations Tottenham fans.

    61 all out here.

    1. Costa in Wengerland
      10 years, 8 months ago

      60 All out , i hope Kane gets bps

    That Sterling "handball" was a disgusting decision from an arrogant referee. Such a shame.

    1. pundit of punts
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I hope we get one going our way when it matters to even things out.

    2. boc610
      10 years, 8 months ago

      every week you see players chicken out of a block while throwing their arms up in the air thinking that because back is turned it won't look deliberate.happens all the time. they know what they're doing.glad to see a ref stamp down on it.

      1. Forza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 8 months ago

        It's impossible to keep your arms by your side while making that block. And you're very much in the minority with that view.

  5. Total Foot 5
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Vardy: how many have him on bench, choosing to have played Alli instead?

    ffs, thot mci-spurs was goin to be more high scoring than ars-lei

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Benching penalty takers is asking for trouble.

  6. Bolivian Seaman
    10 years, 8 months ago

    2 weeks until the next gw, think I'll just have a rest and stop looking at my team

  7. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Who to get instead of Kolarov? Same price bracket

  8. Mr. Blonde
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Top 10k average post-BAPS?

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 8 months ago

      45.3

      1. Konig Luther
        10 years, 8 months ago

        but pre autosubs

        1. VS10_
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Shouldn't change much.

        2. Mr. Blonde
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 8 months ago

          You think there'll be many autosubs with big points?

          1. Konig Luther
            10 years, 8 months ago

            no.. just mentioning.. can be up a little

      2. Mr. Blonde
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks! 59 for me so should be inching closer!

      3. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
        10 years, 8 months ago

        A good week for most here then I think!

  9. dhamphiir
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Sell Sanchez or keep?

    1. Del Griffith
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Got other pressing matters so keeping

    2. Epic Fail
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Have you got 11 players this GW?

      1. dhamphiir
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Yes, I have got 13 player available for next GW (excluding Aguero and Simpson)

    3. HurriKane
      10 years, 8 months ago

      keep. united defence is poor ridden with injuries

      sanchez had many shots inside the box. could explode against united

    4. il Brutto
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Keep

  10. RoysCallerAnne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Roll on the Fantasy Euros...

  11. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Jamaica vs. Zambia

    Either team has won it by 1 point, no one is sure. If teams are tied, goes down to captains score.

    Captains are tied.

  12. HurriKane
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Time to sell Alli and Get Eriksen for 3rd spurs spot? (alongside Toby and Kane)

    1. Make United Great Again
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Nah

  13. Greenbackbøøg…
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Not sure why some people are planning on selling Kane when he consistently gets points

  14. DA Minnion (Former great)
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Another shocking weekend for me.

  15. Total Foot 5
    10 years, 8 months ago

    if Spurs hadn't so carelessly tossed away three points against Newcastle. They'd be top of the table, outright

    1. JØ
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Oh yeah if Man United hadn't tossed away 3 points against NEW, NOR, SOU, BOU and SUN they'd be top of the table. 🙂

    2. Epic Fail
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Anyone would be top given a specific set of circumstances.

      1. Total Foot 5
        10 years, 8 months ago

        meant that game they had it won. sliped away

  16. Puzzle
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Back from behind the sofa! Aguero fail was lovely after I got fooled by TrollKaku yet again

  17. EmreCan Hustle
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Koscielny taken off and Simpson red carded. As if it wasn't difficult to get 11 out in GW 27 already, now this.

    Why was Mahrez taken off?

    1. JØ
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Tactical.

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Don't think Ranieri trusted Mahrez to do enough defensive work.

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Phew.

        Cheers guys.

    3. Puzzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Sacrificed cause of simpsons red

    4. JØ
      10 years, 8 months ago

        10 years, 8 months ago

  20. JayBomb
    10 years, 8 months ago

  21. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 8 months ago

    73 after bonus points if they're correct. I'll take that!

      • Has Moderation Rights

  22. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Are you doing early transfers if price drops/fall or just wait after cup games?

    1. Konig Luther
      10 years, 8 months ago

      wait.. but probably the transfer will be the same. sell silva, buy mahrez

  23. applebonkers
    • Has Moderation Rights

    what's the opposite of humble pie then mark needs to eat? poo out humble pie? eat bragging pie?

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights

      The Vardy chat?

      1. applebonkers
        • Has Moderation Rights
        10 years, 8 months ago

        yeah, last 3 at least it's been bang on

  24. Rolls-Royce
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Is it safe to TI Vardy early as he has no Cup games?

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      10 years, 8 months ago

      but the rest of your team have cup games ?

      1. Rolls-Royce
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Ya, but would TO Lukaku anyway and looking to get Vardy to avoid more misery.

    2. Epic Fail
      10 years, 8 months ago

      It's never safe to make early transfers.

  25. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone doing Lukaku to Vardy tonight?

    1. Numb
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Best to wait till after the cup games I think.

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Vardy has none

        1. Numb
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Most of your players do though

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I think I might.

    3. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Aren't 11 teams playing in the cup ? . If I was getting Kane I would be tempted but I'm not going to rush over .1

    4. For Fuchs Sake
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Just done it

    5. Tatty Bojangles
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Trying to think of a good reason not to and can't, so maybe.

    6. S.Kuqi
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Not yet. Aguero might be injured by next gw. Don't want to end up transfering wrong player out

  26. Total Foot 5
    10 years, 8 months ago

    do this for -4?

    belerin + lukaka > Kane + Wolly (AVL - NEW)

  27. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    10 years, 8 months ago

    The bench of one in my ML: Ihenacho, Rose, Dawson 😀

  29. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Firmino -> Mahrez or play Stanislas?

    1. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
      10 years, 8 months ago

      -4

    2. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 8 months ago

      mahrez. do think stan is a decent option next gw though

      1. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Not particularly. I'm more concerned about Mahrez's ownership, he could very well score big.

  30. DA Minnion (Former great)
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Many games does Simpson get?

    1. dhamphiir
      10 years, 8 months ago
