Gameweek 26โ€™s last hurrah has the potential to cause huge waves on the Fantasy landscape,ย 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 leagueโ€™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). Theyโ€™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 Pellegriniโ€™s charges during that period.

    When a player reaches 10 yellow cards, how many games does he get banned for?

    I have Dier on 8 yellows now

  3. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Do Moreno to Fuchs for -4? or Just play Stanislas (wat A) instead?

    1. The Wise Owl
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      No point taking hits, play Stan.

      1. Rolls-Royce

    Hi folks. Any word on Valencia and Arnautovic injury?

    1. The Wise Owl
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Arnie had a cold. Should be back.

      1. In Bale We Trust
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Was it definitely just a cold? Saw illness was the reason and hoping it was nothing more serious

        1. how now brown cow
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Got too weeks to get over it. Relax.

  5. v12w12
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Have 2FTs...would you do
    Aguero - costa and Ozil - eriksen?

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

      Lol

      1. v12w12
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Is that a naw then. Lol.

    2. Gatsby
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Super no.

      I'm sure theres other areas you require the transfer more!

      1. v12w12
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers

  6. Smarty Pants
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Looks like that reckless shot off target at the end of the game has cost Kane 2 bonus points. Thin margins.

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

      Yeah, unreal ๐Ÿ™

    Repost in an effort to spark Hazardous discussion:

    anyone considering Hazard as an option? After Southampton Chelsea's schedule very favorable. Know Willian is in form now but....if Hazard comes back to life it could be a massive differential. Upside...

    Team looks like this

    Butland/Eliot
    Bellerin/Fuchs/Williams/Targett/Aldy
    Payet/Alli/Ozil/Firmino/Mahrez
    Costa/Kane/Vardy

    1 FT and 4.2 ITB.

    Thoughts appreciated!

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

      lol

      1. Flicks A Foden
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Quality is quality and Hazard's got it. Hiddink won't be asking him to spend all his energy defending.

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

          Points are points and he doesn't get any.

      "If Hazard comes back to life"

      It's been 26 weeks now with almost nothing. I'd just wait for him to stir from the dead before bringing him in.

    3. BabyB
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      No chance on Hazard from me. Needs to show some form before id pick him up.

    4. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      If VIlla defence keep clean sheets it will be a massive differential too

    5. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Well as soon as he looks lively and gets points I'll have him as a diff as money is no issue.

    6. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ

      Just you, he is all yours

  8. Liastro โญ๏ธ
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Which two are the priority to transfer out this week?.

    DDG
    Hennessey
    Moreno
    Ward
    Lukaku
    Aguero

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      MORENOOOOOOOOOO

      and Lukaku

    2. Gatsby
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Lukaku->Vardy and save FT

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

    Start Targett (CHE) or Bellerin (mun)?

    1. Flicks A Foden
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Bellerin here. Though not expecting much

  10. Whats the Huth
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    MORENOOOOOOOOOO

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years

      Oh ffs

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        ๐Ÿ˜€

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

      Sold him and it still feels great ๐Ÿ˜€

    3. In Bale We Trust
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I've accepted him six points this week with nothing but bitterness. Long overdue

    4. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I can't wait to sell him either. Huth is coming in. Long overdue.

      But still.....

      MORENOOOOOOOOOO

  11. Ibracadabra´s Spell
    • 12 Years

    PAYET (C) feels good!

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      yeah, finally a good decision for me too.

      1. Ibracadabra´s Spell
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Yes, finally, haha.

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

      Nice. Perfectly logical. Had he scored last week that would have been a popular captaincy.

      1. Ibracadabra´s Spell
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        It´s true but I was between him and Firmino but I choose him, thankfully.

    3. The Wise Owl
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      High five!

      1. Ibracadabra´s Spell
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        High five! haha ๐Ÿ™‚

    4. Ibracadabra´s Spell
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Losing 2-0 at 72 minutes and West Ham playing badly, I was scared and expecting nothing from Payet but in just 2 minutes he scores and then assists. ๐Ÿ™‚

      1. Gatsby
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        If only west ham could start games as they finish them, he might be due a huge haul every week ๐Ÿ˜‰

        1. Ibracadabra´s Spell
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          I agree, it´s a shame but at least I got his points this week, haha, next I will put C in Vardy.

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

    Any ideas what to do with this lot?
    2 FT 0.1 ITB
    Butland Hennessey
    Bellerin Dier Cathcart Daniels Simpson
    Sanchez Ozil Payet Mahrez Alli
    Aguero Kane Vardy

    Really stuck for transfers, who should I look to shift?

  13. Hakuna Juan Mata
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Rose baps over Kane.. -_-

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

      He rose over Kane you could say

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      When did scoring a penalty equate to playing well ?

    3. Gatsby
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Rose was great today.

  14. Ibracadabra´s Spell
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Play Johnson and Arnautovic this GW if fit, right?

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

      Depends on your other players.

      1. Ibracadabra´s Spell
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I have Firmino to bench so I play Arnautovic or 4 defenders or sell him but if fit I will play him.

    2. The Wise Owl
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, looks a good fixture.

      1. Ibracadabra´s Spell
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I agree, Stoke is strong at HOME and Villa´s defence is poor.

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

      I don't think Johnson is eligible anymore

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Johnson seriously injurd.

        1. Ibracadabra´s Spell
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          WOW! I didn´t know that, poor Johnson.

          Then I have to play Bellerín instead because Williams plays Spurs (AWAY) and I will not do a -4.

    4. Ibracadabra´s Spell
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Ok, thank you all. ๐Ÿ™‚

  15. Team Zissou
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Are people shipping Sanchez?

    I'm thinking Sanchez -> Mahrez (have Ozil)

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

      No

    2. Gatsby
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Nope. He wasn't great today but hes a game changer and they badly need him to perform.

      He'll haul eventually, just sit tight ๐Ÿ˜‰

    3. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I have been shipping him and Ozil

    4. Team Zissou
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Hmm, not sure how much longer I can sit..

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

    To do Ighalo --> Vardy I'd have to sell Ozil or Sanchez. Would you do it with 2FTs or keep Ighalo for BOU?

    1. Ten Season Wonder
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Ighalo is finished, ditch

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Ighalo has Bou, I'd keep

    3. krzys

      cheers both

    4. pundit of punts

    Hi guys,

    Any bonus points for the following;

    * Kane
    * Ozil
    .
    .

    Seriously clutching at straws here;
    *Aguero
    * Mahrez
    * Alexis

    1. The Wise Owl
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Kane (0)
      Ozil (3)

      Aguero (0)
      Mahrez (0)
      Alexis (0)

      1. Ten Season Wonder

        Thanks you wise owl ๐Ÿ™‚

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

    Tbh, even as a captainer, Kane didn´t do much except scoring that penalty.

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Well I certainly wish I captained him instead of Lukaku. I swear my VC always outscores my C.

      I think you should go with Simpson

      1. Gatsby

        ๐Ÿ˜€

    4. Ten Season Wonder

      Simpson suspended next game

      1. dhamphiir

      No

        This

    2. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      I sold him last week for Costa ๐Ÿ™‚

    3. Costa in Wengerland
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Did Aguero to Costa ( C ) ๐Ÿ˜€

    4. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Well i'd be happy if people are tempted or actually sell him.

    5. :
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Villa looming.

    6. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Have done, need Vardy in for NOR & makes no sense to get rid of one of my other 2 forwards (Kane/Costa). I'll get him back for AVL at the latest, so not too worried (think Kane/Costa/Vardy can all match what he might get at Liverpool).

  21. Lingardium Leviosa.
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    6 Pool goals and just one Firmino assist.

    I'll take that :obamaface:

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

    Liverpool scored as many goals today as the whole of the top 4

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Their year?

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

      Top 4 played each other and Pool played the worst team in the league.

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

        Goals against Villa count 0.5 as much right?

          • 10 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          I thought they don't count at all tbh

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

            As long as they are a premier league side thats not the case ๐Ÿ™‚

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

          Less. Even Kolo Toure scored.

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

      Woohoo

  23. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Is Eriksen playing more centrally nowadays?

    1. Gatsby
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Switches with Deli Alli a bit, he was more wing than centre today though.

      1. Rolls-Royce

          No probs, looks a good punt over Alli, if i had a wildcard i'd have him in!

    So is Johnson's injury serious to Stoke's defensive prospects? Shawcross is due back next GW.

      I think ShawX back is key.

    I was so lucky this GW, I played Arnautovic and bench Deeney as 1st sub but Arnie didn´t play and Deeney enters, SUPER SUB, hahah.

    Would Spurs winning the league make up for all those times they finished behind Arsenal in the last 20 years?
