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.

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years

          No idea. I'm just waiting for official baps.

  7. FPLzebub
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    The penalty was the only decision Clattenburg gave in Spurs' favour all match. I think they deserved to win.

  8. Numb
    • 11 Years

    What happened to Gosling?

  9. boc610
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    people moaning about that handball? sterling chickened out of a block and paid the price. it hit his arm. he blocked a cross. not the refs fault sterling had turned his back while doing it. arms were in an unatural position. rose took one square in the chest for his team while sterling bottled it!

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I agree.

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Jump and face the cross. So what if it hits you in the face.

        1. Jimmers
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Just like Danny Rose in first half

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      What if my hands are not in an natural position and I chicken out and the ball hits my head. And the referee decides to punish me for chickening out by giving the penalty?

      Following your logic that would be a rightly given pen.

      1. Jimmers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Now you're being silly!

    2. DF
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Spot on.

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      His arm was not in an unnatural position..

    4. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      should be a pen imo but was surprised it was given

    5. Kim Philby
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Plus, it's Sterling.

  10. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Payet to Alexis instead of Antonio to Firmino last week has cost me 30 points. Not good.

  11. Fernando Torres 9
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Which teams are sure to get a gw 30??

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Only 4 right now: Leicester, Newcastle, Stoke and Southampton.

      You'll get more teams after next weeks cup games.

  12. FootballGeorge
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Would like some of people's ideas on Willian. Thinking of Firminho->Willian.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Good move.

      1. FootballGeorge
        • 11 Years

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years

          The point in posting that link.

          1. Van der Faart
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            I was proven right by saying Spurs haven't conceded more than two In any game. I told plenty of people that this was the case

            1. Epic Fail
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 2 months ago

              So?

                • 14 Years
                10 years, 2 months ago

                I'm happy. Let me enjoy it.

                You a city fan?

                1. Epic Fail
                  • 15 Years
                  10 years, 2 months ago

                  Villa 🙁

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Ok.

  14. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Haven't had a proper captain haul since December I think...

    1. FootballGeorge
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Same I just can't get it right. I captained Lukaku this week, what about you.

      1. Ravager
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Aguero actually. Got him in 2 weeks ago and yet to give me a major haul. Disappointing.

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Last week for me.

      Other than Payet no one else that I would have seriously considered would have really gotten me much this GW.

      That said though, I really am reconsidering whether to keep Aguero or not now. Not sure he's worth it this season when there are quite a few other strikers doing just as good if not better for half the price.

  15. Az
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    52 - caught up 20 points on my ML leader to go back into 1st. Lukaku captain fail made better by Agueros fail.

    So chuffed with this GW!

  16. _Gunner
    • 11 Years

    What is the average after today's games?

  17. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Any thoughts here gents? Save FT or shift DDG?

    DDG
    VVD, Bellerin, Toby
    Stanislas, Alli, Mahrez, Ozil, Payet
    Vardy, Kane

    4.0; Simpson*, Aguero*, Moreno*

    1. FootballGeorge
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Stanislas -> Willian (or other) if no then great team , save

      1. Mind över Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks! Normally play with a cheapie 5th, so not hugely tempted..

        Might save then

        1. Milner4eva
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Affelay could work?

  18. Klip Klopp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Thinking about Ighalo and Bellerin ---> Vardy + Targett for a -4?

    1. FootballGeorge
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yes.

  19. RoysCallerAnne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I like Henry's suit.

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      He's always dressed well

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

      he wears that red plastic vacuum casing every single day. is very boring imo

      1. Alan The Llama
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        There's not enough Henry hoover jokes, imo.

        1. applebonkers
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          yep, it sucks

  20. Keno
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Firmino---->

    A.) Coutinho

    B.) Willian

    Which on a FT

    1. FootballGeorge
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      B ..... A blanks this week and play city next which is probably the reason you are getting rid of Firminho.

  21. applebonkers
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    random online fruit machine joins 18 month old child as things better than me at picking captains

    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Why doesn't Kelechi start games?

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Citeh don't play 442

        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        They should.

        1. For Fuchs Sake
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Easier to score as a young sub, harder when you start each game

  22. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Any reason not to do Vardy --> Lukaku early ?

    Vardy playing next gw and Lukaku doesnt

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy to Lukaku?

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        oops meant the opposite

    2. FootballGeorge
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yes , do Lukaku->Vardy , would advise against Vardy->Lukaku though.

    3. Numb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      If your other players get injured in the cup?

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I want Vardy either way 😉

      2. vanishing spray
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I would pay -4 for Vardy vs Norwich

    4. Fergietime
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Liverpool gave you six reasons today, Lukaku vs Villa GW 28 = potential jackpot

  23. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    best trio pls? thnx

    1.vvd + fonte + Lukaka

  24. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Simpson has made it difficult to field 11 without a hit. Already benching an attacker in Aguero.
    Not expecting a good GW 27.

  25. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Now I've got it.. Do Aguero/Stanislas -> Vardy/Mahrez now or wait?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Wait

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Wait if you can. Others can get injured.

    3. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      True, very true. Simpson getting suspended has stretched my squad.

  26. Make United Great Again

    @EdenHazardous around? 😉

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yes.

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Still stupid to bench Sanchez. Hindsight doesn't change that

        1. Make United Great Again
          • 13 Years
