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.

    what time do the prices change tonight?

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

      Same time every night, look below.

  2. Cecil The Lion
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Valencia to Walker on a WC?

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

      Yes. Rising tonight too

  3. Enzo the Baker
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    How does this sound for an Aguero plan ? Might need to make the moves tonight.

    Negredo + Hazard + Valencia -> Aguero + Snodgrass + Kingsley

    Would cost -4 and have 0.0 itB. Team would be :

    Heaton
    Williams McAuley Koné
    Sanchez Sterling Antonio Snodgrass
    Aguero(c) Ibra Lukaku

    With Capoue as first sub in case one of the attackers miss out.

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Assuming Costa rises 0.1m and Hazard falls 0.1m and Aguero stays at 12.9m I have the exact funds to do:

    Hazard > Sanchez (no other Arsenal 'cover;)
    and
    Costa > Aguero (I have Sterling already)

    Both would be for a hit, needed to use FT to fix elsewhere.

    1. Ange Ball
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Go with your head

  5. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    What's more likely over this week?

    KDB rising twice or Snodgrass rising twice?

    Not taking into account the rise that KDB got on the Friday night.

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

      KDB. And this based on Hazard fire sale and other in the same price range.

    2. TSILIKAFENEIAKOS
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      both once

    Evening All,

    I hope everyone had a decent game week. I for one regret my transfers this week game week. I took out sanchez and costa and Diomande for Kane Vardy and Barry minus 8. I benched Barry he scored which normally once a season. Didn't end to bad final gw points 67pts can't complain. Thinking ahead to next game I'm thinking of doing the following bring back Sanchez for Hazard and Deeney for Kane and Vardy for Aguero minus 8.
    Next week team.

    Foster
    Shaw Collins Baines

    Sanchez Antonio Capoue Sterling
    Ibra Aguero Deene
    Worth it?

  7. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Snodgrass or Pereyra?

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Snodgrass.

    2. Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Pereyra

    3. Defcons are for Kinnear

    4. Elijah's Wood

      Snod

  8. Jet5605
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    How is my WC squad looking guys? Defence a bit weak? 0 ITB

    Foster - Pickford
    Kelly - Amat - Williams - Stones - Evans
    KDB - Antonio - Snoddy - Townsend - Capoue
    Kun - Ibra - Lukaku

    1. The Man Pastore
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      mid is too weak

    2. Ange Ball
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Decent needs work

    3. Ange Ball
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Change the defence

    5. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 13 Years

      This should be a new article

  10. camarozz
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Couple questions aftr wk ends games.
    Is capoue 4th or 5th mid?
    With Valencia, stones,redmond, lamela and needing kun back (funds itb)
    Time to WC? Yeah?

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

      My opinion.
      Capoue 4th mid, especially with those upcoming fixtures.
      WC, yes. Good week to catch some price rises to build up your team value - then chose your final WC team before the deadline.

    2. MTPockets
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Capoue starts.
      I've wilcarded for 4 of those 5 reasons + mahrez + gray.
      Gd luck.

  11. Pedram
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Lots of people are buying Snodgrass, is he likely to rise tonight?

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

      Maybe. On 93.3% on ffs

  12. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    I guess most have 3 listed . Who's making way for Aguero?

    A - Ibrahimovic
    B - Benteke
    C - Lukaku
    D - Costa
    E - Defoe
    F - Other

    1. Cecil The Lion
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      B

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      A.

    3. Ange Ball
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      C

    4. ramunas
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      A, but reluctantly

    5. ArsenalBankai
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      D

    6. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      B

    7. MTPockets
      10 years, 5 days ago

      A or D

  13. Everyday im Schneiderlin
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Lukaku to slimani seem daft ?

    1. Cecil The Lion
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Yes

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

      Seeing there are midweek games, yes.

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

      Yes

    4. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Knee jerk of highest magnitude.

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

      You know the answer

  14. Elijah's Wood
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    To afford Aguero which transfer seems best:

    A) Hazard -> Sterling/literally anyone up to £10m
    B) Benteke -> Deeney

    Sanchez Hazard Antonio Snoddy Capoue
    Ibra Lukaku Benteke

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      A

      1. Elijah's Wood
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        A would mean benching Snoddy (cant keep missing out on Capoue points!), I think get rid of Benteke after Sunderland then for Deeney

    2. Ange Ball
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      A

      1. Elijah's Wood
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        Thanks KL

  15. Norb
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    A) Kelly/Pieters/Britos + Snodgrass
    B) Holebas + King

    For A need 4.4 DEF. The DEF will be 4th choice.

  16. Mickeylicious
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Foster heaton
    Valencia friend stones Pieters Lenihan
    Hazard Antonio mane bolasie Capoue
    Zlatan Kane gray

    Surely I have to hit the we button right?

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

      Midfield and forwards look great except Gray. Defense need a bit of work

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

        Thanks. I know it is not a bad team but price rises to May inform players worry me.
        Lukaku Costa sterling walker snoddy etc all these could be in place to f Valencia pieters....

  17. Still Unsure
    10 years, 5 days ago

    OK, I'm thinking Lamela, Hazard and Ibra to Mane, Sterling and Aguero.

    Pretty happy with those moves, despite it being a -4 and having to make the moves so early due to price rises.

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Go for it

    2. Ange Ball
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Sounds good do it mane will score big next week

    3. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Really good moves.

    4. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Good moves I think, once you accept that selling players like Haz and Ibra always carries risk.

      1. Still Unsure
        10 years, 5 days ago

        Yep. It is what it is. Can't have everyone 🙂

  18. tm245
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Someone replied that there was a Capoue discussion on here. What page, please?

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        Cheers.

  19. mattk lfc
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Do keep hold of Barkley for a bit longer or double up with Sterling/Aguero

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

      I think you should lose Barkley as soon as possible.

    2. Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Get rid for Sterling

    3. Mickeylicious
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Get sterling asap

  20. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Pickford nailed now? Worth getting?

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

      Not nailed, but he is showing that he intends to be their first choice.

  21. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Hands up if your 4th mid is Capoueee?

    1. Xuey
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Capoue essential XD

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

      He was this week on purpose 🙂

    3. Pedram
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      o/

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

      I regret the day i ever sold him 🙁

    5. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Oui Oui Oui!!!

      1. Xuey
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        Tres bien

  22. Xuey
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Hazard -> Mane
    or
    Ozil -> Firm

    It's either Arsenal or Chelsea coverage for me. Tough decisions...

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

      Definitely Ozil -> Firm.
      I think Firmino will get a similar amount of points as Mane for a smaller price, and Hazard much more dangerous than Ozil

      1. Xuey
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        Cheers, not worried about Hazards form the last 2 games? Both players have been as bad for me. I'm torn between this.

  23. ktk_interista
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Surely these exaggerated rates of transfers in and out are 80% wildcards. No?

    1. Pompel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Would assume so.

  24. LewanGOALski
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Probable double risers this week?

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Sterling defo!

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

      Anyone rising tonight.

    3. faver
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Sterling
      Lukaku
      MAYBE Nacho/Antonio

      1. ktk_interista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        Nacho will stop rising when casuals realize Kun is back.

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

      Capoue (already rose 0.1)
      Sterling (will rise tonight)
      KDB (already rose 0.1)
      Antonio (will rise tonight)
      Lukaku maybe

      1. Pompel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        Also hoping for Nacho, think I'll bring him in on WC just in case

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

      De Bruyne. Already gone +0.1 and is 90% towards another rise.

      Sterling, Antonio, Lukaku and Walker going +0.1 tonight.
      They could all feasibly rise again later in the week.

  25. aleksios

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

      yes

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

      Correct.

    3. Les Bleus
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Provided the cup game is played in midweek

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

      Yes, unless an unexpected injury occurs.

    5. Lecky Legs FC

  28. Robe Wan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    How's about this for a -8????

    Ibra + terry + Barkley + Vardy

    To

    Kun + sterling + Lukaku + holebas

  29. D0GS B0110XS FC
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    nacho, ozil and hazard for aguero, firminho and walcott (-8pts)

    either that or take out ibra/lukaku to get aguero and kdb in but i think overkill as already have sterling

  30. Scholes Balls
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 days ago

    Team needs some changes after terrible week
    Lamela Fletcher Firmino Barkley Hazard
    Rondon Ibra Costa

    How do these sound?
    Rondon > Kun
    Ibra > Lukaku
    Hazard > Sanchez
    Barkley > capoue

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 5 days ago

      Why would you sell rondon. Stoke next I think

      1. Scholes Balls
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 days ago

        I want to go with a heavy front line, dont see W Brom scoring that many anytime soon Either
        Kun Ibra Costa
        Kun Luk Costa
