A bitterly disappointing Saturday rumbles on with a tea-time encounter at White Hart Lane.

In Fantasy terms, the clash between Spurs and West Ham looks likely to offer little compensation – aside perhaps for a scouting mission on Harry Kane and a potential clean sheet for the 37.7% owners of Kyle Walker. Son Heung-min’s decline as an option continues as he is relegated to the Spurs bench.

West Ham turn up having enjoyed something of a revival and boasting the fading Fantasy asset that is Dimitri Payet. His talents will be monitored, although an evil run of fixtures for Slaven Bilic’s side is likely to temper any enthusiasm in the Frenchman and Michail Antonio; now owned by just 9.2% of FPL managers, he looks likely to start at right wing-back again this evening.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Walker on 0points. Definitely out of my team now. Not worth 6m. Best possible replacement cedric,vvd,jenkinson

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Arsenal has some good fixtures coming up

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

        yes looking at jenkinson. Already have kosc. Will it be too much to have 2 ars def. Also debuchy might take his place

    2. Art Vandelay
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Spurs will start keeping cleanses again when Toby is back. I am holding for the time being.

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

        This year its hard to predict which team will keep cleanies. Spurs usually concede 1goal. Walker was there for attacking points. But his returns are not good for last few weeks. Additional funds can be used elsewhere

    So my Siggy and Kane punts worked!
    Thinking of doing Kane to Ibra next week

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      well done. Nice to be lucky sometimes.

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah!

    2. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Well done, sir.

    3. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Well done Moin.

    4. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Nice Moin 😀

      1. Deano
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        You certainly needed it with that rank - good punts.

  3. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Surely Payet > Nordtveit was the worst sub of the season? Payet injured or tactical?

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Tactical, Bilic got it wrong

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Don't get why managers do that all the time. Yes you get an extra body in front of the defence but you're also sitting back and inviting more pressure. Mourinho did the same earlier with Mata > Schneiderlin.

        1. Moin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah was about to write the same, Fellaini would have made more sense, at least he could clear the corners

  4. Tansey
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Surely at least a few are considering Aguero -> Costa or Kane? Looking at it myself now, the extra few mil could go a long way in other parts of the pitch too

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      after next week im gonna do kane to aguero

  5. Jay_
    9 years, 8 months ago

    On such a downer
    I was as close to doing Keane > Anichibe -4 as West Ham were to 3 points. Double whammy.
    19 from 9 in total and gotta listen to Spuds all week

  6. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I just took a -12 to get Kane in.

    No regrets. Will just deduct it from my score this week and pretend I did awfully

  7. RoysCallerAnne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    top 10k average is 22 with 3 players left.

    Everyone calm down 🙂

    1. Ziro
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Can't calm down when I smash the 10k average. :Cool:

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Nice, congrats!

    2. Cesc's old mullet
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Good.

      Then my 40 points with Hazard to go is not that bad

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Great score, well done!

        1. Cesc's old mullet
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Thanks!

          In part thanks to my unbelievable double SUN CS...

  8. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Gutted gutted

    All week was stuck on

    Sanchez & Rashford to Siggy & Kane

    Or just Rashford to Rondon

    Chose the wrong sensible one 🙁

    1. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      unlucky mate. that wouldve been awesome though if you had done it.

  9. Swan - Villa Proud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Which. Combo would you rather have in a 3-5-2

    A)Kun & Alexis
    B) KDB & Costa/Kane + 1.8M

    Rest of attack iwould be Firmino Couts Walcott Hazard Austin Anchie

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A. Either of them explode you're gonna fall behind. If both get a haul together you're finished.

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      b with Kane

    3. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I was decided on Kane Austin even before today.

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        And the same 5 mids.

  10. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    How heavily is Aguero likely to be rotated during the Christmas period?
    Do we think getting Kane now and then back to Aguero after the busy period?

    1. ANON.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Think I'm going to do it. Wouldn't captain Aguero for a while anwyay

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Is Kane prone to rotation?

        1. fedolefan
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Never.

          1. EmreCan Hustle
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Cheers.

        2. ANON.
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Not that likely but I guess he could be rested during a busy schedule. They bought Janssen for a reason. Son also capable of playing there as we've seen

  11. ANON.
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Aguero to Ibra this week so I can do Lukaku to Kane next?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Is possible to do the second one some other way?

      1. ANON.
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah if I lose Walcott. Not this week though

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Would prefer that option. Even if it means waiting an extra week.

  12. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Walcott is a no go at the moment. right? (rotation imminent)

    Assuming Alexis and Ozil are nailed on you've got Ox Giroud Ramsey Iwobi Theo all fighting for 2 attacking spots

    Leaves with Coq Elneny Cazorla and Xhaka fighting for other 2 def mid spots

    1. ANON.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Wouldn't buy him but wouldn't sell either. He should keep his place on the right for now

    2. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldn't say Ox is a threat at all.

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        huh why not ? provided the assist for Giroud today and has given some good performances this season

    3. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      If he misses training this week due to new baby, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets rotated

  13. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Two transfers.

    Cech Pickford
    Lovren Morgan Holebas Pieters Amat
    Sanchez Firmino Coutinho Shaqiri Carrick
    Kun Lukaku Deeney

    A) Shaq&Lukaku > Siggy& Giroud
    B) Kun&Lukaku > Kane&Costa
    C) chill

    Any advice?

    1. ANON.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe B next week. C for now

    2. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      B

  14. Ziro
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Calm down people.
    When transferring out a 13m player you can afford to wait out price rises of other players.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      They won't listen.

  15. Palmyre
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    KAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaNE

  16. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

  17. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Someone said earlier that Antonio is suspended but he only has 4 YCs?

    1. keeney
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe picked up a yellow in the cup ? Won't show on fpl but still counts

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        He didn't.

  18. A Team Of James McCleans
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Aguero to smash in 5 once every one sells him?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Confirmed.

    2. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Burnley aren't Newcastle

    3. Lumberjack
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Nope. He's just not worth the money at the money.

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        money

      2. Robe Wan

      3. Sharpe Shuffle
        • 10 Years

      4. Robben Mee Blind
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        It's all about the money...

        1. Deano
          • 13 Years

  20. Lumberjack

    1. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years

  21. Robben Mee Blind

    Only positive from today was having VVD and Capoue. Shame they're both stuck on my bench 🙂

  22. Sharpe Shuffle
    • 10 Years

  25. Frank Black
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Who's getting rid of Fuchs/Leicester defender? Fixtures are still really good but they've conceded too much in the last three.

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I will in a few weeks.

  26. b✪mber
    • 10 Years

    might sneak in the 10K for the evening 🙂

  27. Robe Wan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    My triple West Brom defence not looking so stupid 😎

  28. Swan - Villa Proud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    16 from 9. Heaton and Evans to go. Might be bye to LMS, especially if Chelsea boys run wild

  29. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Did Coutinho to Son this morning and was dreading the result when Coutinho started, to make matters worse Son didn't start either. 2 late assists made up for that. Mind you the rest of the day was awful

    1. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Maverick stuff

  30. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Can u it's help? Who is more essential over the long run? Kane of Firmino?

    A) Lukaku + CWilson > Kane + Anichebe
    Or
    B) Lukaku + CWilson + Gundogan > Austin/Defoe + Anichebe + Firmino

    Thanks in advance
