Saturday treats us to one final fixture as Man City and Tottenham Hotspur go head-to-head at the Etihad in the 5.30pm kick-off.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men arrive on the back of six straight wins and with the schedule turning in their favour from next weekend, this evening’s match affords us the chance to get in some early scouting.

Harry Kane earned more transfers in than any player ahead of Gameweek 22 after netting six times in the last four fixtures, yet the Spurs midfield offers equally enticing options.

Christian Eriksen has served up six double-figure hauls in nine, whilst seven goals and an assist in the last five from Dele Alli has seen him match the Dane’s tally of 121 FPL points so far.

A single goal in four underlines Sergio Aguero’s recent toils up top, though with West Ham, Swansea and Bournemouth to follow, the City striker cannot be overlooked.

All eyes are on Gabriel Jesus, though the new boy only makes the bench as Pep Guardiola looks to ease him into his new surrounds after arriving from Brazilian outfit Palmeiras.

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

    Walker delivering again. Shame I don't have him 🙁

    Deflection takes it over Kolarov.

    Wouldn't be a Spurs goal without massive luck involved.

    They finally took a shot on target. Had to happen.

  8. Arteta

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

  14. Mickey Tyrion™
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Won't count for Walker.

  15. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    I had planned this anyway but Lallana - > Alli a good transfer?

    1. tattywelshie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Poised to do it myself

  16. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    How is it a Walker assist ?

    1. sambyy
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      He crossed it?

      1. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Came off Kolarov in the End?

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years

    3. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

    4. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

  17. Arteta
    • 10 Years

  18. Rainer

    Kane's 3rd touch - 59'

  19. Js31
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    So tempted to wildcard I can't wait for DGW too impatient

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      just play it now, season is out of sight if your waiting for DGW to play it anyway.

      1. Js31

        Team is below

        Heaton
        Alonso Jones Baines
        Haz Sanchez Eriksen Phillips Mirallas
        Ibra Kane

  20. diesel001

    Was going well until that Alli goal.

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

    Shouldn't be assist. Deflection.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Intended recipient was Alli - so it will stand.

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

        Bravo would have caught it (or he wouldn't in reality because he is Bravo but...)

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Read the rules

    3. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Same for Sterling's assist

  22. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Come on Kane, Please!

  23. Lav
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    No Walker and Alli in my team has killed me.

  24. Crow
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    De bruyne essential

  25. Sif
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Pro: Own Alli
    Con: Have to hear that sh*t song again.

  26. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Played wrong chip.

    AoA - benched Nyom,Walker and Chambers

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      With all due respect, it wasn't a great time to be playing it when 2 defenders in strong defensive teams are at home

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        True but none of my attacking 8 wasn't benchable

  27. makaveli123
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Sod off

  28. FFSbet.com
    • 10 Years

    Bravo concede 15 goals from last 23 shots on target 😀

    Anybody else eyeing a Hazard > Alli change. Hazards tying up a lot of funds for me. Unless he has a haul, Hazard to Alli is a must for me imo.

    1. Lav
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Not keen on Eriksen + Alli

  30. 4. Arsenal FC

    Sterling is terrible
