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, 3 months ago

      Arsenal has some good fixtures coming up

      1. borat
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 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, 3 months ago

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

      1. borat
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 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

  2. Moin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

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

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      well done. Nice to be lucky sometimes.

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah!

    2. Pochecinno
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Well done, sir.

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

      Well done Moin.

    4. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nice Moin ๐Ÿ˜€

      1. Deano
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        You certainly needed it with that rank - good punts.

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

      Tactical, Bilic got it wrong

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

      after next week im gonna do kane to aguero

  5. Jay_
      9 years, 3 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

    • Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 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

    • RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      top 10k average is 22 with 3 players left.

      Everyone calm down ๐Ÿ™‚

      1. Ziro
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

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

        1. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Nice, congrats!

      2. Cesc's old mullet
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 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, 3 months ago

          Great score, well done!

          1. Cesc's old mullet
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Thanks!

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

    • Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Gutted gutted

      All week was stuck on

      Sanchez & Rashford to Siggy & Kane

      Or just Rashford to Rondon

      Chose the wrong sensible one ๐Ÿ™

      1. Back on the horse
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

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

    • Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 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, 3 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, 3 months ago

        b with Kane

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

        I was decided on Kane Austin even before today.

        1. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          And the same 5 mids.

    • EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 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, 3 months ago

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

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Is Kane prone to rotation?

          1. fedolefan
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Never.

            1. EmreCan Hustle
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              Cheers.

          2. ANON.
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 3 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

    • ANON.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

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

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Is possible to do the second one some other way?

        1. ANON.
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah if I lose Walcott. Not this week though

          1. EmreCan Hustle
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

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

    • HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 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, 3 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, 3 months ago

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

        1. HurriKane
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 3 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, 3 months ago

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

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

        Maybe B next week. C for now

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

        B

    • Ziro
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 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, 3 months ago

        They won't listen.

    • Palmyre
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      KAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaNE

    • DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Really need captain hazard to come to the party tomorrow.

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

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

      1. keeney
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 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, 3 months ago

          He didn't.

    • A Team Of James McCleans
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Aguero to smash in 5 once every one sells him?

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Confirmed.

      2. Sharpe Shuffle
        • 10 Years

        Burnley aren't Newcastle

      3. Lumberjack
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

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

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          money

        3. Sharpe Shuffle
          • 10 Years

      1. Pochecinno
        • 10 Years

      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

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

    • Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 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, 3 months ago

        Maverick stuff

    • Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 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
