A busy Sunday of football comes to its conclusion at White Hart Lane as Spurs and Sunderland go head-to-head in the 4.30pm kick-off.

The hosts’ 4-0 win over Stoke last weekend boosted out faith in the likes of Harry Kane and Dele Alli, yet their midweek Champions League loss to Monaco at Wembley suggests Mauricio Pochettino’s side have yet to hit top gear.

Christian Eriksen and Erik Lamela owners are left cursing their luck after the duo were named amongst the subs, with Mousa Dembele returning to the XI following a six-match suspension.

Certainly, the home side will be buoyed by their visitors’ second-half capitulation at home to Everton on Monday night.

The Black Cats have yet to win under David Moyes and, considering their current form, may well be lucky to avoid a repeat of the 4-1 reverse in the corresponding fixture last season.

      I'm being patient and keeping him, good player, gets 15 goals a year and now he has pens he should better that.

    Those that didn't WC pre gw 4 - I have 2 questions

    A)Was your rank below 200k before gw4?

    B)Are you happy you didn't WC?

    1. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      A) I was inside 200k and still am
      B) Yes, I basically now have a template WC team without WCing, I kept Kun for the 2 weeks.

    2. Cocky Spaniel Alves
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      No

      I'm probably last overall at the moment.

    1. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      1. GinjaWhinja
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

  6. palalmas
    • 14 Years

    1. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      A out of those. Would consider Lukaku + Firmino if you havent got them

  7. M.A.G
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    60 Pts after getting Capoue's jammy points 😀

    On a different note

    Redmond/Ibra/Pva > Sterling/Aguero/Holebas (-4) ?

    1. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Big fat yes from me.

    6. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I have: Ibra Negredo Redmond Lamela Shaw Courtois Stones all in my team. Are any of those players essential?

      1. Henryyy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        No

        9 years, 4 months ago

        No

      3. Worzel Gummidge
          9 years, 4 months ago

          LOL none whatsoever. If Aguero was there then yes.

          1. Kante Be Bothered
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Exactly what I was thinking. Looks like I'm gonna have to take a massive hit lol

      4. Numb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        If you wildcard do changes to your bank balance still show up to others?

        1. Hect.OR 98th
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I think so

          1. Numb
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        63 is a good score this week isn't it? Had a good day yesterday but a mediocre one today.

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah pretty good

          1. Hect.OR 98th
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Cheers. Not really been able to follow much of today, but looking at my team, only Ibra's assist beyond a range of 2-pointers.

        2. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          It's a good score.

        3. Clump
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah, good score. 58 average for top 10k. Congrats on the green.

      6. rohan
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        What's the top 10k average for today ?

        1. Clump
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

      7. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Green arrow finally for me.

        Bodes well for the WC this GW.

        Time to consolidate.

      8. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Can't believe the lack of walker owners

        Too many sheep movements towards baines

        1. Oven Glover
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Had him since gw 1. Even survived my WC.

        2. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Im pretty happy with Baines

        3. Carpe Diem
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Have you ever made a post without acting cool about hindsight?

          1. Oven Glover
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            He LOLs once in a while

          • 11 Years

          Lloris will do.

      9. Le _ Professeur
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I think i'm the only non Capoue owner on here 😛 .. Welcome to my team Capoue 😀

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Think you might have missed most of his goals! 🙂

          1. Le _ Professeur
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            I did the same exact thing with Mahrez last season .. I never learn

      10. SheBangsTheDrums
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        28 last week followed by 42 this week! Shocking!

        What are Stones owners doing?

        1. Henryyy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Sold him before gw4. Useless

        2. Boyd to Sven
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Similar returns to me. I'm getting rid of Stones. Wildcard is very much active.

        3. Cocky Spaniel Alves
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          37 last week and 35 this.

          🙂

      11. FPL Puppy
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I've just seen that Henderson goal. WOW!

        1. Henryyy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Indeed

      12. Acquafresca
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Is anyone on WC keeping Benteke?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Most are sacking. Big score coming up.

          1. Acquafresca
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Are you ditching the Belgian?

      13. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I am really struggling with my WC team - think I am pretty close. Looks like I am going to catch a few double risers - KDB, Sterling, Nacho...

        This is how it looks so far;

        Foster / Jaku
        Baines / Valencia / Stones / Holebas / Amat
        Sanchez / Firmino / Antonio / Snodgrass / Capoue
        Aguero / Lukaku / Slimani

        I think no Chelsea could hurt.

        1. Flynny
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Are you concerned that Valencia may lose his place?

          1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            I could swap out for Walker

      14. Laporte In A Storm
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Two disastrous weeks from a team I don't think is bad. Do I need to wildcard here?

        Foster / Jaku
        Azpi / Shaw / McAuley / Amat / Smith (4.0)
        Hazard / Firminho / Cazorla / Lamela / Capoue
        Ibra / Benteke / Rondon

        1FT, 4.7 itb

        1. Ravager
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Yup I think so, especially if you planned on getting in Kun

      15. Flynny
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        What is the view on Valencia?

        Having been hauled off today, is he now a rotation risk with young?

        Mourinho praised young after game...do I keep on wildcard or get rid.. .ta

        1. Baines on Toast...
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          If WCing I think Shaw is safer.

        2. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          It was all the officials fault

        3. Roscorp
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          RB Valencia is under no threat from LW young...

      16. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Only got 7 points today

      17. Evasivo
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Those on WC keeping Ibra? i.e. What's your front line looking like? Aguero + .... ...

        1. Flynny
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I'm keeping for the next 2 home games...

          Leicester and stoke....them reassess...

          Front line is kun ibra deeney

          1. Evasivo
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Im on the same currently

        2. Guba
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Not on WC but I'll be keeping Ibra, I feel it would be a mistake to lose him right now and better to evaluate later. Personally going with Kaku, Aguero and Ibra up front.

      18. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Has anyone ever changed all 15 of their players in a GW without a WC?

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Are you going to be the first?

      19. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Wild carders, keeping or selling Benteke?

      20. Forza Papac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Who's more essential for this GW6? - Liverpool Mid or Sanchez?

          You'll be benching 10 pts from Capoue each week
