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.

    I have just got back from Villa park.

    My assessment:

    Do not buy any villa players.

    That's all.

        10 years, 2 months ago

        Firmino wasn't great. In fact. Liverpool also poor, but villa were unbelievable.

        They won't survive in championship playing like that.

      are they letting punters in there for free.. seems a bit harsh to pay to watch that kind of thing

        • 12 Years

        Agreed ... I'm a Burton fan. Was a treat for the girlfriend.

          not sure how old he is but

    2. turd ferguson
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      who cares. Might as well overpay for things if you have enough money.

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

    0-0 FT.

    1. turd ferguson
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      correct

  4. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    That was an awful first 45 mins

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Not bothering with the second half

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

      wasn't expecting much
      kun will score a lone effort and erikson will do the same from 30 yards out

      game over

  5. Mah-rage
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Its going to be NOOL-NOOL

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

    Losing H2H to a dead team as he has Coutinho Captain (KDB vc) and Clyne. Also has double Spurs defence and Targett cs off the bench.

    🙁

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

      Too cool for transfers!

  7. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    No chance of an Aguero goal then?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Stay positive. He will

  8. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Comeee ooon Kuun ruin that Spurs CS. Especialy when my vice Costa was superb

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

      Vice captains should get extra points.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Now you are talking

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

    May IhaveANancho get on pitch for 2nd half?

    1. BENOIT
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I'd love some nachos right now. Mmmm.

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

        I want all kinds of Mexican, Corona beer, senoritas and crystal meth for a start...

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

    Toby Alder Own Goal please in 2nd half

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Amen to that

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

      amen

  11. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Do I use a FT to transfer Simpson out or do I just play Azpi and have no subs available?

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

      Who are your other defenders?

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Daniels, Toby, PVA are my other three?

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

          You're well covered. Don't waste the FT.

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

    Barkley > Arnie for free? Barkley has good fixtures after his blank, but Arnie as a short term is so tempting

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

      I think Arnie is the easy choice. Maybe go for Afellay or Joselu.

  13. YoungPretender
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Simpson red card has meant I would have to bring Westwood off my bench in order to field 11. I have 1 FT and 4.0m ITB. Should I do Westwood > Arnie?

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

    It will end 2-1 Aguero 2,Kane 1

    1. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      If Carlsberg did FPL final scores...

    2. drughi
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      No way, 0-0

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

    Shall I just do Luk to Vardy now, have 2FTs. With Leicester not in the cup all should be fine right?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Lukaku has villa the following week.just saying.

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

        True, but look at Vardy's fixtures! Could do Kane to Luk after blank week

        1. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah might be a better plan.you need vardy but not necessarily at lukaku s expense.

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

      Yes, Im doing Ighalo to Vardy before price rise/fall. Cant be without Vardy in their run.

  16. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero 5/2 in the 2nd half, Kane 4/1.

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      To score obviously

  17. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Need that fella who wrote an essay about Cedric to write one about Firmino. I want that assist for Clyne's goal.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Didn't see it. Can get my hopes up..?

      1. VS10_
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Don't.

      2. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Won't be given.

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

      Can he sort Townsends goal also I need my sheets cleaned

      1. KOLASINA(C)
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Chat sh!t get cleaned

    3. Trae44
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Definitely not an assist

  18. Hamstergod
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I expect Kompany to score the sole goal of the gave around 85 minutes 🙂

  19. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Simpson>Huth and take the 0.1m profit or wait? I need to sell one of Kolarov, Moreno or Simpson regardless...

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Huth is terific option imo

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

      There are a lot of games to come before the next GW

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

        Yes I have 2 FTs tho and Leicester players are safe..

  20. BENOIT
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    It does baffle me when people discuss BPS at half time.

    Get a grip.

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, it's a little strange.

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

    Best defender to bring in for Baines?

    A) Leicester def...Huth/Fuchs?
    B) Soton def...VVD/Fonte?
    C) Spurs def...Toby?

    Currently got Kosc / Bellerin / Targett / Daniels / Baines

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

    I'm tempted to Barkley to Willian for GW27. Am I mad?

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

      Willian against SOU who has 6 cs in a row, wait...

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

        I take it back. I'm doing Ighalo > Vardy.

    2. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Don't think Willian is a very good pick, but there are not many midfield options for next week if you have the typical ones.

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

        Barkley and Aguero the ones out for me, a lot of people are going to do Barkley to Arnautovic. I just think they might be a little disappointed.

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

      Gambling on Khazri I think, probably bottle it and bring in Arnie though

  23. Hibbo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    An Aguero goal would be nice.

  24. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Harry Redknapp really is one of the games great thinkers.

  25. Optimus.
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Are any of Afellay or Imbula worth a shout next gw if I went that direction? Cant afford the others

    1. Trae44
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Afellay maybe, Imbula no

      1. Optimus.

    2. Lateriser 12

      I wouldn't Optimus.

      1. Optimus.
        • 15 Years

        Ah right cheers, I didn't know what position they play

      In Wasilewski's pocket.

      1. il Brutto
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Wasilewski has some seriously big pockets then.

    2. Eden Hazardous

      average

    4. Trae44

      Played alright, scuffed a few decent chances though

      1. il Brutto
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        So gets into good positions but lacks the final touch. Sounds good enough to me.

  29. Trae44
