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.

      1-2-3 with a very weak back three... 😉

  4. Back on the horse
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Is there any update of something like Analyzer which helped take a grab of your team off FPL for RMT posting?

  5. FPL Puppy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    WOW, KDB is rising fast!

  6. TheBabyfacedAssassin
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Ibra&haz > kun&Firm? No hit.

    1. Snapes on a Plane
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Go for it

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Yes but is Firmino fit?

      1. TheBabyfacedAssassin
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Dunno. No news?

        1. jurgenklopp.8
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          should play at the weekend

    3. Worzel Gummidge
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Easy yes for me.

    4. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      It's what I'm almost certainly doing.

    5. sumatera
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      I think I am doing the same move

      The other move instead would be to do just Haz to KDB

  7. WVA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Are Lukaku and Costa going to rise tonight? Can't decide who to put in my WC team!

    1. jurgenklopp.8
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      kukaku will

    2. popcoin
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Lukaku is confirmed to be rising tonight. Costa no.

  8. Niemi
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    I'm selling Hazard, Özil and Ibrahimovic for -4 this week I think. Sanchez and Aguero coming in.

    Which midfielder should I buy for maximum 7.5? Already own Antonio.

    Snodgrass and bank the rest?
    Cheeky punt on Walcott, Lallana or Son?
    Take the risk on someone like Bolasie, Townsend, Pereyra, Sigurdsson, Tadic or Arnautovic?

    1. Twelve years a slave
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Bolasie not much of a risk, good value at 6

      1. Niemi
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Never been a fan of him as a fantasy player, but he does play for a better team now with good fixtures.

    2. Z
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Lallana might be decent if you don't have coverage

  9. Twelve years a slave
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    On wildcard, was hoping to bring Aguero in at last minute as team full of potential double risers.
    Looks like he could rise tommorrow though, so going to have to didch some of these doublers, makes it tricky.
    Also wanted to wait till end of week before deciding on ibra, may not hacpve the luxury now

    1. KISSES
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Which way are you leaning on Ibra Trig? Looking to ship him out for Aguero?

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Probably kick him out but not certain

    2. The Gambler.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Kun will be price protected for a week imo

    3. popcoin
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      In the same boat. I'm guessing getting Aguero in before price rise is more important than speculating on double risers, in case they only turn out to be single risers eh?

      Once I've sold Costa or Ibra for Aguero, there's no buying them back as I've profited 0.2 for both

  10. Coaly
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Best two 4.5 defs?

  11. timPgoodwin
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Capoue is trolling me.

    My fearsest FPL rival has him, and plays him - I refuse to put him in as my 4th mid (had him on the bench as 1st sub every week so far) and now i'm doing my WC I can't decide whether to keep him as my 5th mid or promote to my 4th and get Fletcher et al in as my 5th.

    What are his underlying stats as I remember them mentioning on the Scoutcast he had scored with literally every shot.

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Stick with your gut.
      My gut tells me he's a perfect 5th mid. I'll sell him in 2nd part of the season and reap that value!

  12. FPL Maldini

    Can someone share the link of the contributors league?

      1. FPL Maldini

        Thanks

  13. KISSES
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Deeney over Ighalo right?

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Easily for me.

      Pens, better involvement, looks very threatening and he can score against an open net.

      1. KISSES
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        I thought so, cheers Smurf

    2. makaveli123

      Yep

  15. FCSB

    When's the scoutcast this week? Any chance it could be pushed earlier, don't want to miss out on price rises/falls 😛

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      You Hope FPLstats isn't blocked at work...

    2. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Maybe Jonty won't be able to hold in his Dembele theory chat and Puncheon success

  17. nevins84
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Will Lenihan get back in to the Hull team when he returns, due next gameweek.. Looking at 4.0m def options

  18. makaveli123
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Love how many options we got at this point. No obvious template.

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Best season ever in those terms.

      1. makaveli123
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Yes. I hate when all have the same XI and it all comes down to the captaincy.

  19. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    1FT. 1.4m itb. What would you do here?

    Heaton (Pickford)
    Valencia Baines Evans (Masuaku Amat)
    Mane Ozil Cazorla Antonio (Capoue)
    Ibra Lukaku Benteke

    A. Ozil > Sanchez
    B. Ozil > KdB/Sterling
    C. Ibra > Kun
    D. Benteke+Ozil > Kun+Snodgrass
    E. Other?

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Considering you have Cazorla AND Ozil I'd do D.

  20. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    It's amazing what a couple of nights can do.
    Thursday night, Ibra was essential, Hazard was a season keeper, United defence was a must, Sterling cannot be trusted, Benteke is the best low-priced forward...

    How much can change over a weekend.

  21. Patty
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Need some help on a WC.
    A. Sanchez, Whelan, Williams, Amat (capoue permanent 4th mid)
    B. Cazorla, Snodgrass, Coleman, Walker (capoue rotates with Snodgrass)

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Good man 🙂

  22. Torres76
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Sorry repost gents

    Which 5 players are making up your midfield?

    1. Capoue

    2. Cazorla
    3. Antonio

    4. Coutinho
    5. Mane
    6. Firmino
    7. Payet

    8. Sanchez
    9. Hazard
    10. KDB

    Cheers gang

    1. Ibracadabra
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      1, 3, 6, 8

  23. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    I've basically swapped Ibrah, Tekkers, Ozil, Barkley, Tadic and Hazard for Aguero, Costa, Sanchez, Antonio, Capoue and Firmino.

    Is this good. Both sets of players could easily score big.

  24. Sepp Blattered
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Would you WC this team?

    A) (-4 hit)
    Foster 4.0
    Valencia Stones Evans Friend Naughton
    Firmino Antonio Tadic Capoue Watson
    Ibra Lukaku Aguero

    B)

    Foster 4.0
    Valencia Baines Evans Holebas Amat
    Sanchez Firmino Antonio Capoue 4.5
    Aguero Ibra Deeney

    Discuss.

    1. Sepp Blattered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      B= WC team.

    2. Concrete
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Yea
      B is a better team

  25. Concrete
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    It's more than likely that the PL teams playing in the EFL cup will play weakened teams isn't it? Eg, Snodgrass for Hull?

    Slight chance he'll rise tonight ( 95% currently )

  26. Tommo1888
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Which Liverpool midfielder should I transfer in??

    1. Concrete
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Firmino or Mane

  27. The real slim shady
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Worth taking -4 to:
    Hazard -> Firm
    Costa ->aguero
    lamela->Capoue

  28. KJT123
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Are Andre Gray's stats any good? Or has he been has bad as his goal record suggests?

    1. TorresMagic™
