Sunday brings the curtain down on Gameweek 19 with two more matches before the following round of fixtures gets underway tomorrow.

First up, we make up way to Vicarage Road, where Spurs are looking to take advantage of a Watford defence that’s failed to keep a clean sheet in eight league encounters.

Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli both served up double-figure tallies on their midweek travels in a 4-1 win at Southampton – the Dane now has 10+ points in four of his last six.

With a total of 10 points accrued over the last four fixtures, Harry Kane, meanwhile, is second only to Romelu Lukaku for transfers out this Gameweek as the scramble to acquire Sergio Aguero ahead of City’s clash with Burnley picks up pace.

The Hornets have netted just once in the previous three but with clashes against Stoke, Middlesbrough, Bournemouth and Burnley in the subsequent five, Walter Mazzarri’s men have a chance to play their way into our plans.

Certainly, the home side will fancy their chances against a defence that’s devoid of suspended pair Kyle Walker and Jan Vertonghen after both toppled off the Suspension Tightrope last time around.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      That's bad news for Capoue right? Drops deeper?

        No time for deep throat Jafs. Jaysus

        Yes - but that is where he has scored his goals from to be fair.

    Kane owners unite. Technically he is no longer in "my team".

  7. PvA

    What returns do you have from your team so far this GW?

    For me:

    3 goals
    2 assist
    0 clean sheets

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years

      1 CS, 3 assists, 0 goals.

      1. PvA
        • 9 Years

        Swap a goal for a clean sheet?

      Started Amat over Holebas, I think I know how this one is going to end

    12. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Watford 3-3 Spurs

      1x Kane OG
      1x Rose OG
      1x Alli OG

      3x Eriksen (no assists)

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah o like it

      2. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        This is about as fanciful as a CIA team. In fact your idea is more plausible.

      3. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        LOL Imagine this happening

      4. mutatedllama
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        More like 3x Eriksen OG

      5. Point-one short
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Needs more Alli OGs.

    13. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years

      score lots ppl on my team

    14. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Come on Watford. Cheeky upset on the cards?

    15. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I think I'd take 1 point from Holebas from this game.

      1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Pretty sure you wouldn't (if you own him)

    16. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Only on 20 points, didn't realise this was an early kickoff. Lets go Holebas, Eriksen and Kane!

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        hope so

    17. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Kane's going to punish sellers isn't he.

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I doubt many will have sold before this plum fixture. Not people on here anyway.

        1. Differentiator
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Just 123000 or so

        2. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I did. Shamefully.

        3. denial
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I did

        4. Vedas
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I did

        5. Point-one short
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I did for costa and to avoid a kane price drop that didn't happen.

      2. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I sold him for Costa this week so he will need to score more than 1 to punish me

        1. Differentiator
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Depends on bpts

        2. @persecuted_by_mods
            9 years, 5 months ago

            1 with bonus would do it tbh, even an assist with bonus

        3. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Of course he is. He was only a slip away from a brace last time out.

          Our opinions of him would be very different right now had it not been for that slip.

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              9 years, 5 months ago

              They would be different sure but not very different, he's still playing very poor. Doesn't pass the eye test

        4. Make United Great Again
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Cedric didn't play. But Amat is the first defender on my bench.

          Do I get Amat's 0 points or will Holebas my 3rd sub come in?

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Amat's 0, because he played.

        5. Neeskens Under Matip
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Very lucky. My bench was Carrick, Zuniga, Dawson (Hull).

          Phil Jones autosub to Dawsons 7 points...

          1. ILOVEBAPS
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Jammy!

            1. Neeskens Under Matip
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Zuniga was due an attacking wingback role, so who knows lol...

        6. Niemi
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Lukaku>Costa the sensible move for free? Lukaku has Southampton at home and Costa has Spurs away, but Lukaku is out of form and Costa have a really high ownership.

          1. Mr. Blonde
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Think I'd save. No VVD for Southampton

          2. Revival
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Yes, I would still back Costa to score against Spurs

          3. diesel001
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Would save. Lukaku the type of guy to score against anyone.

          4. Kip
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            I'm actually considering to bring lukaku in as 3rd striker next to costa/ibra

        7. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          A) do Origi and Cedric to Rondon and brunt

          B) Origi/de Roon to Gray/Phillips and play 3-5-2?

          Foster, Pickford
          Alonso, Jones, Cedric, Friend, Amat Hazard, Sanchez, Walcott, Lallana, De Roon
          Ibra, Costa, Origi

          2 FTs, 0 in the bank,

          1. diesel001
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Why the hate on Origi. Likely to start against Sunderland, Coutinho injured and Mane off to AFCON - who is going to take his place? Sturridge - no chance.

            1. RamaJama
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Good point!

              Other suggestions to spend at least 1 of the 2 FTs? Cedric to ?

        8. Mr. Blonde
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

            • 11 Years

          3. Numb
            • 11 Years

            Who's up top?

            1. Grand Thibauto
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Alli mostly

              1. Numb
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                Kane sellers dodged a bullet then. He never does anything in that role.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        10. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Watford conceding a goal is totally acceptable as a Holebas owner.

          But If that tosser gets a yc again, I shall rage transfer him out

          1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Same probably.

          2. Fred54
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Ake is very tempting...

          3. diesel001
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            YC for dissent most likely IMO.

        11. Rolls-Royce
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Kane playing RB.

        12. PvA
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Kane OOP

          1. diesel001
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            This is already starting to feel like the last match. Kane hate - but he still delivered attacking returns (more than Sanchez and Costa in that GW).

            1. PvA
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              I'm not hating

        13. Legomane
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Barring a Kane, Eriksen or Sanchez injury today, looking forward to welcoming Sergio back into the fold tonight for a game or two...

        14. JIM BOB
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Who will get most points this week?

          A) Dann (CPL)
          B) Brunt (HUL)

          1. JIM BOB
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Dann playing SWA!

            • 10 Years

          Siggy and Pickford to Phillips and Valdes for free?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          What are Mane owners doing?

          Guaranteed to start next gameweek.

          Should do something v Sunderland.

          Will go down in price tonight maybe then by another 0.3 over the 2 week break so need to make an early transfer after GW20 if you keep him.

          1. Legomane
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Play Sunderland, then early transfer to someone else good

        17. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Gomes save from Eriksen.

        18. Differentiator
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Gomes already time-wasting after only 5 minutes
