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

        Would imagine so. Every time he gets played in the hole someone gets injured

        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
      9 years, 6 months ago

      1 CS, 3 assists, 0 goals.

      1. PvA
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Swap a goal for a clean sheet?

  9. Revival

    • 14 Years

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

  10. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 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, 6 months ago

      Yeah o like it

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 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, 6 months ago

      LOL Imagine this happening

    4. mutatedllama
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      More like 3x Eriksen OG

    5. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Needs more Alli OGs.

  11. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    score lots ppl on my team

  12. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Come on Watford. Cheeky upset on the cards?

  13. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

  14. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 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, 6 months ago

      hope so

  15. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

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

        Just 123000 or so

      2. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I did. Shamefully.

      3. denial
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I did

      4. Vedas
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I did

      5. Point-one short
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

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

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 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, 6 months ago

        Depends on bpts

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
        9 years, 6 months ago

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

    3. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 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, 6 months ago

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

  16. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 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, 6 months ago

      Amat's 0, because he played.

  17. Neeskens Under Matip
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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

    Phil Jones autosub to Dawsons 7 points...

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Jammy!

      1. Neeskens Under Matip
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

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

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

      Think I'd save. No VVD for Southampton

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, I would still back Costa to score against Spurs

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

    4. Kip
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

  19. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 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, 6 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, 6 months ago

        Good point!

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

  20. Mr. Blonde
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Kane in CM again

    1. Mr. Blonde
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      /RM

    2. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      More like Right Wing to me

    3. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Who's up top?

      1. Grand Thibauto
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Alli mostly

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

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

      2. Mr. Blonde
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Son

    4. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Monotonous regularity. http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/matches/855349/

  21. Speédy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    give me 10 pointers from eriksen and san(c)hez

  22. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 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, 6 months ago

      Same probably.

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Ake is very tempting...

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      YC for dissent most likely IMO.

  23. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Kane playing RB.

  24. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Kane OOP

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 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, 6 months ago

        I'm not hating

  25. Legomane
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 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...

  26. JIM BOB
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Who will get most points this week?

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

    1. JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Dann playing SWA!

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Dann playing himself?

      1. JIM BOB
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Sigh

  27. Fowler23
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Siggy and Pickford to Phillips and Valdes for free?

  28. pax888
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    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
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Play Sunderland, then early transfer to someone else good

  29. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Gomes save from Eriksen.

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

    Gomes already time-wasting after only 5 minutes
