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.

    Ighalo --> Vardy for -4pts? Yay or Nay?

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

      Nay

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

      Yes definitely

      1. The Man Pastore
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Even with Ighalo playing BOU at home next?

        1. pundit of punts
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          This.

          Keep Ighalo one more week.

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

      Yay

  2. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Really Firmino. Really!

    (been out all day)

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      6pts and you still angry?

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

        Not angry, just a little disappointing, when you see 6-0 lol.

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

          I had Firmino(C), you can guess how my excitement level went from seeing the scoreline to checking fpl points.

          1. Ginkapo FPL
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 2 months ago

            exactly

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

      yep, bit of a piss take. far less of a threat with sturridge fit

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

      (he played brilliantly btw)

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I remember when Silva failed to get any points in a Man City demolision a couple of seasons ago. May be similar here. Didnt have to push into the box, could just orchestrate from distance.

        (I hope anyway)

    ARS v LEI

    1st goal is a penalty
    2nd goal scored by a sub
    3rd goal scored by No.23, assisted by No.11

    MCI v TOT
    1st goal is a penalty
    2nd goal scored by a sub
    3rd goal scored by No.23, assisted by No.11

    Let that sink in.

      Blank lines are lines.
      Not spooky.

    2. RÏɠBY

      the truth is out there

    3. 1569Tippins

      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Impressive

    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Manchester United only 6 points behind City.

    1. Crouch Potato!
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      It is the same gap as prior to the gw so not exactly news.

        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Funny thing is that we keep losing games like crazy and still in the race for the top 4.

        1. Crouch Potato!
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Yup the points total for the title is gonna pretty low this season.

        2. fickle
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          united are out of the top 4 race already

  4. Pedram
    • 12 Years

    What's considered a good score for this week ?

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Not 28

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years

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

    67 points this GW. Sometimes you just have to go with your gut and I still feel Costa is a great pick atm.

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

      Aye, glad I sold Kun to buy him. Looking forward to owning Vardy/Kane/Costa next GW.

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

        This ^

  6. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Who are you getting for Sanchez?

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Khazri/Arnautovic/Shaqiri

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Really considering a Stoke player after watching Villa today.

          • 10 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Even Affelay came through my mind after seeing Villa today...

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

        Tempted by an affelay punt?

          • 10 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Ha! Look above 🙂

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

      Alexis

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

        🙂

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

      Why get rid? Swansea and WBA at home in the next 4, and when he has a good day he's going to score big.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        He has played 3 good games all season. Not decided yet but for his price he looks like a very poor pick atm

      2. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        This and more pressing issues means I'll keep

      3. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        WBA would most probably be a blank.

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

    Glad the Aguero to (C)osta worked out but slightly tempered by the embarrassment of advising folk to bench Payet. Especially as I didn't. But...nobody would have listened so. Cool and deadly.

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      That grave though

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

        I'd have signed you too.

  8. Stephen - Robot Daniels
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Was all set to ditch Lukaku for Vardy, might be Aguero now

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

      No chance I'm ditching Kun

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I'd still keep Aguero

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

      and why is that ?

      1. Stephen - Robot Daniels
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Lukaku has villa the week after, will get Aguero in for the game after.

        One has to go.

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

          and aguero has liverpool who has shipped 2 vs sunderland and 4 vs norwich recently.

          id keep kun

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

            but i see your point. villa are terrible. saying that martinez could rotate in such games which may not be good for lukaku

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

    Need a few more opinions on Firminho->Willian , have Payet , Mahrez

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

      Anyone ?

  10. super zlatan
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Baps are interesting in the Spurs game.

  11. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Turns out benching Sanchez wasn't a crazy decision Mr Eden Hazardous 😉

    1. RÏɠBY
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      i did it

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Apparently it's was, and still is a stupid decision to do so lol

  12. Evasivo
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero getting -2bps, was he that bad?! 😮

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

      He was awful

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

      Not good. A few shots off target and missed passes won't help his BPs.

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

      Aye. Poor touch throughout, looked almost as if he was carrying a niggle or something

    4. BROOKLYN GOONER
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      He was also wasteful at time, going for glory when he should have laid it off.

    5. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Ouch. Aguero to Vardy no brainer then. Thanks guys

    6. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Offside too many times.

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

    Want to get to get rid of Ighalo but he has Bournemouth at home, but Vardy will have Norwich at home. Give Ighalo 1 more week?

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

      Yeah

    2. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah

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

      Yes, sell someone else for Vardy.

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

        I have Kane and Aguero

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

          Kun then 😎

      2. White Hart Kane
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Or play 5 mids, kane and ighalo

    5. FootballGeorge

      Really that bad then :/ Willian it is !

    6. Granville

      Rubbish, but then I didn't think much of any Arsenal player today.

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

    Aguero (and city) were pretty poor to be fair.

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

    Anyone else do Payet to Alexis last week?

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

      Payet --> Alexis last gw

      Alexis --> Payet this gw

      As soon as i saw nor AVL in next 2 i bought him back without hesitation. (original plan was to sell ozil but he's the constant in arsenal attack that can be relied)

  18. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    First time I've heard Pelegrino as bitter as this.

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      What did he say?

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Ref ruined the game. City played much better and deserved to win etc

  19. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Which gw is the first potential dgw, gw 30 with city, Liverpool?

  20. Pedram

    Aguero's blank is a bummer

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

      No benching dilemma for a change though

  21. super zlatan
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Firmino owners....

    Keeping and benching next week?

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

      Selling for Willian.

    2. Captain Blanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Tough one. Depends if Sturridge stays fit...

  22. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Time to eat. I'll have a Clattenburger and Fries 🙂 Coys.

    1. White Hart Kane
      • 14 Years

      COYS

  23. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I only see score over 50 here, am I out of LMS with 47( if Kane 0 baps)?

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

      Too early but probably safe.

  24. dhamphiir
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Sigurdsson or Eriksen (have Alli)?

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

      Eriksen

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

    GW30 is going to be a bloodbath.

    1. White Hart Kane
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Could the be the DGW as well?

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

        ummmm no

  26. White Hart Kane
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Better to invest in Arsenal or Southampton defense?

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

      Saints, no blank GW30.

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

      Saints.

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

      Cresswell --> soton def lined up after next gw

  27. Sánchez
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I have 11 players next week with a bench of Elliott, Aguero, Firmino, Barkley.
    Having to go 5-3-2

    Should I keep all 4 for their DGWs later but risk 10 men if someone doesnt play
    Or sell 1 of the mids and get Mahrez
    Or, sell Alli to Mahrez

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

      I'd want Mahrez for sure but I'd wait until after the FA Cup to see who will have GW30 blanks and decide who to sell based on that even if it means losing out on 0.1 or 0.2.

  28. twoplustwo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    man... Aguero and Sanchez are a busted flush at the minute

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

      Hazard too.

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

      doesn't help kun that silva is doing absolutely nothing, sanchez had no excuses today, he had the most touches of the ball and a lot of clear cut chances and botched every one of them

    3. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez yes but hasn't Aguero got a fairly decent record since he returned from injury? Today was his first blank in a while.
