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.

    A) Chadli
    B) Bolasie (with Baines and Lukaku at the same moment)
    C) Snodgrass

    Who to buy?

      I have Bolasie and Lukaku going into this week, but am on a WC now. Bolasie is great value but so many mids are firing right now. I think we need to pick one from Antonio/Bolasie/Snodgrass to go with Capoue, or go 8.4m+ for a regular option.

    This is currently template I think.

    Foster--Jaku

    Shaw--Walker--Baines--Evans--Amat

    Sanchez--Firmino--Antonio--Snodgrass--Capoue

    Aguero--Lukaku--Benteke.

    I would love to have this team

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Ibrahimovic who's 60% owned missing from the template.

      1. EDEN THE MAN
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        I meant to put Ibra/Kun

    2. ChristoBisto
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Sterling is owned by more than Antonio.

  3. OLLY G
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Is it madness on wildcard to choose Pickford and Jak?

    I know they are poor defences but they rotate pretty well:

    Palace H
    West Brom H
    Bournemouth/Stoke A
    Stoke H
    Watford A
    Southampton H
    Hull H
    West Brom H
    Boro A
    Palace H

    1. Whazza
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Neither is fully nailed long-term

    2. st4rt__
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      I'm incredibly tempted. Allows me to have this:

      Jak - Pickford
      Walker - Williams - Holabas - Evans - Amat
      Alexis - Firmino - Sterling - Antonio - £4.4m
      Aguero - Lukaku - Deeney.

  4. Ajax Down Trees
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Foster - Pickford
    Valencia - Francis - Kone - Amat - Pieters
    Hazard - Ozil - Sterling - Capoue - Hojbjerg
    Costa - Ibra - Lukaku

    What on earth do I do with this lot....

    Was thinking downgrading ozil or hazard to antonio to upgrade any of the front 3 to aguero.... but theres many other issues too, pieters dropped and in a atrocious defence even if he plays, hojbjerg playing second fiddle also, ahh

    opinions?

  5. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    71 this week puts a big dilemma into my head..

    I was set on wildcarding, KDB, Lukaku, Ibra, Capoue all did well for me this week.

    But I have dead wood like... Gray, Stones, Valencia?, hazard?, and potentially injuries to Lukaku and Firmino...

    1. Acquafresca
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Wildcard and keep the points rolling

    2. ANON.
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Not sure Lukaku and Firmino are injured. Valencia can stay and gray for this week. Even hazard isn't that urgent

      1. Grand Thibauto
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        This.

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Firmino back in training I heard. Lukaku may be an issue but probably not.

    4. Mr. Funny Name
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      If it's easy to get Aguero into your team without the wildcard then don't bother with it

  6. ANON.
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Thoughts on this front 8?

    Mane, Firmino, Antonio, Snodgrass, Capoue
    Aguero, Ibra, Lukaku

    1. Mr. Funny Name
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      I like it

    2. EDEN THE MAN
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Nice but ur f*cked if Liverpool flop

    3. Burton
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      I'd do Mane to an Arsenal player. If Cazorla, you'll be able to upgrade Snod.

    4. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Mane Firmino seems overkill

      1. ANON.
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        Looks decent for 2 weeks. If it flops I have 2 transfers to sort it out

  7. Mr. Funny Name
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Thoughts on which transfers to make appreciated:
    A) Lukaku + Hazard -> Aguero + Bolasie/Snodgrass
    B) Rondon, Hazard + Valencia -> Aguero, 4.5 mid + Holebas for a hit (means Capoue becomes 4th mid)

    1. ANON.
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      B

  8. KISSES
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    What do you think of these two transfers guys:

    Hazard and Benteke out.
    Fletcher and Aguero in (will wait for Fletch to drop tonight).

    It'll give me:

    Heaton / Pickford
    Koscielny / Williams / Valencia / Amat / Kingsley
    Ozil / Antonio / Capoue / Sterling / Fletcher
    Lukaku / Zlatan / Aguero

    1. KISSES

      For free by the way!

      Go for it

  9. Defaid Daniel
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    how to get kun back into this team
    chech/pickford
    walker/Williams/evans/-Collins/amat
    mane/ozil/Antonio/sterling/-Cattermole
    kane/lukaku/benteke
    1.4 itb get rid of kane I still need 0.6 mil

  10. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Aguero is on 40% to rise

    1. FPL Puppy
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      I think he won't go up until his flag is removed.
      He will then be price protected and his price at 12.9 will stay for one week.

      1. Grand Thibauto
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        He went down before his flag was removed. He is increasing at a highrate according fffix

        1. FPL Puppy
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 5 days ago

          What I meant was that he will probably not have enought transfers in to rise in price. Then, when his flag i removed, his price can't change because of price protection.

          I could be wrong though, he seems to be rising quite fast but I'm wondering how many transfers are WCs..

  11. TheSteel
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Went from 13k to 83k overall lol

    1. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      updated?

    2. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Not bad however

  12. FPL Puppy
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Zuniga, progress +10.40% per hour. SAY WHAT??
    A lot of knee jerking going on!

    1. TheSteel
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Fpl twitter praised him

      1. FPL Puppy
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        Is he going to be a nailed starter? Played a total of 28 minutes in 5 GWs..
        Feels like a waste of a transfer..

  13. Magic Man
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Missed if i got any replies last time; Bolasie or Pereyra have capoue and have Lukaku

  14. Whazza
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    On WC, any major flaws? 0.4 itb.

    Foster Jaku
    Valencia Baines Holebas Kelly Amat
    Sterling Firmino Antonio Snodgrass Capoue
    Aguero Lukaku Ibra

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Nice but would like to have some Arsenal attack in there myself

    2. ANON.
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Decent. I'm looking at the same for a -4 except maybe Firmino over Sterling. What are your thoughts on that? Better next 2 fixtures

      1. ANON.
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        Also probably more nalied

      2. Whazza
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        I have both but prefer Firmino if you have Kun

        1. ANON.
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 5 days ago

          Sorry I mean mane over sterling

          1. Whazza
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 5 days ago

            Why not, more expensive tho

    3. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Nope. Looks okeyish BUT have a plan for Sanchez after Chelsea game

      1. Whazza
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        I think he's too expensive as I will captain Aguero/Ibra

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 5 days ago

          Burnley,Swansea,Boro,Sunderland.

          100% worth the pricetag and captain material

          1. Whazza
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 5 days ago

            hmm you're prolly right!

  15. Mayo for Sam
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Best optioN,

    A, Ibra + Ozil > Kun + Sterling

    B, Ibra + Hazard + Ozil > Kun + Sanchez + Capoue (-4)

  16. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Anyone got a 5.9m mid for me, looking at a couple of Palace boys anyone else? Got Capoue....

    1. Whazza
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Snodgrass, next 2 tricky though but for bench

    2. Mr. Funny Name
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Snodgrass

    3. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Snodgrass

      1. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        Yeah thanks guys. As said though the next couple of fixtures are dodgy but as bench fodder hmmmm

    Foster - **
    Valencia - ** - Evans - Holebas - Amat
    Sanchez - Firmino - Sterling - ** - Capoue
    Aguero - Lukaku -**

    A) Heaton - Baines - Snodgrass - Benteke

    B) Pickford - Williams - Antonio - Deeney

    1. ANON.

      A

    If Hazard drops tonight, will you be selling?

    That would mean .1 of selling value.

  20. Dušan Citizen
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Those with Snodgrass, would you play him against Liverpool?

    1. Jönny
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Suspect I will. Would be going four at the back if not.

    2. st4rt__
      • 12 Years

      Certainly.

    3. TheSteel

      Hellz ya

    4. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Between him and Capoue sadly. Will be trying to play AOA benching Stones.

    5. FPL Puppy
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      I would if I had him. From what I've heard, Liverpool can't defend.

  21. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Is Firmino definitely available for gw6?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Quite likely.

  22. Budweiser
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Firmino or Coutinho?

  23. A-S-H
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Will anyone risk Haz to Firm before the price drop or wait the week.

    1. Budweiser
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      I'd like answer too but I think I'm just gonna do it

  24. AdamB
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    I bought Barkely for £7.6. If his price drops to £7.5 tomorrow, will I be selling him for £7.6 or £7.5 ?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Bad news.

    2. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      7.5

    3. Burton
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Depends when you sell him. Before tonight = £7.6m, after tonight = £7.5m.

    4. AdamB
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      So price falls don't work like price rises ?
      I thought it takes -£0.2 in price to lose £0.1 in selling.
      Thanks anyway !

  25. StopItHarold

    Help needed!!

    Here is team so far:

    Heaton Foster
    Dann Shaw Williams McAuley Amat
    Hazard Sanchez Sterling Capoue Bolasie
    Negredo Ibra Benteke

    I NEED to get in aguero and Im prepared to drop hazard and negredo to make it happen. Prepared to take a hit also ofc as I've only got 1 FT and 1.2 ITB

    HELP!

  26. Respect My Authoritah
    • 12 Years

    Ozil to Sanchez worth a hit this week?

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Definitely not this week. From next week, yes

  28. Clickzy
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Current team, two FTs to use

    Cech - Pickford

    Baines - Valencia - Collins - McAuley - Amat

    Sanchez - Hazard - Antonio - Puncheon - Capoue

    Ibra - Lukaku - Defoe

    See a lot of people on here taking out Ibra for Aguero, is it really worth it?

  29. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Benteke, Deeney or Slimani? Or other option around that price.

    Really struggling with my 3rd forward.

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Benteke or Deeney for me

  30. Clump
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Ibra to Kun, Hazard to Sterling. Would leave me 2.0 itb for next week.
    Seems solid?

    1. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Yep, sound.

      1. Clump

        Ta.

    2. FPL Puppy

      Looks great.

    3. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years

      Almost perfect. Wouldn't love to sell Hazard personally. But he seems out of form.

      1. Clump
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        Yeah, it's a worry. Check out fixtures though.

        1. Grand Thibauto
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 5 days ago

          Yeah. No good fixture upto gw15. But nothing like a Chelsea matchday without celebrating Hazard goal for FPL as well.

          1. Clump
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 5 days ago
