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

    Will Lukaku be claiming the miracles Jesus perform at Man City?

  2. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    38 from 8. Good thing Sanchez is my captain.

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

      Are you saying 38 is bad?

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I'd...figure so?

        Is it good?

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

          Well yeah. Popular players didn't return much this week.

          1. ★Kuntheman★
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            From 8 though...my lineup is scattered with 2'a

        2. Garlana
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          38 is decent with captain to go this week. Atleast it would be for me

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

      16 from 6 here Sanchez(c) too
      If Hull stop Chelsea I am screwed for this week

      1. saint4life
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        38 a massive green arrow tonight for sure. Not many over 30 today I shouldn't think

    3. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Never sure until the GW is done, hopefully a green guess depends on rank... 41 here Sanchez cap, Alonso, Giroud to go

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

    16 from 6 (including captain and hit), yet I'm not so disappointed, knowing that others have suffered too, and I like my team for next week too.

    1. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yup nice to see the optimism .
      Can easily outscore other teams next week for those who aren't as prepared.
      This season has been crazy.

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

    16 from 6 really bad week

    Need hauls from Sanchez(c) Alonso Cedric Hazard and COSTA

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

      Better than me (see above). 16 from 6 including Capper

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

        True rough for you. Its annoying considering last weeks 88 pointer

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

          Bellerin Cedric Bertrand Pedro Sanchez left for me. You definitely have the edge on me

  5. JIM BOB
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Which combo would you prefer in a draft league?

    A) Coleman and Barkley

    B) Friend and Mkhitaryan

    1. Carlton P
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      A easily

    2. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      A deffo

  6. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Definitely taking the punt on Jesus

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

      Started Yoshida, benched Rose..looks like it will pay off

  7. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Walker with 2 bps. Just FO!!!!

    1. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      For that push

    2. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I hope it stays like that 🙂

  8. FPL Mentor
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Carroll 1st Sub 🙁

  9. TorresMagic™

    Tricky week in LMS

    1. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I think this week is my cue to exit

  10. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Lol at Aguero owners.

    1. Boydinho
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Lol @ you

    2. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      They'll be loling at you for the rest of the season

    3. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Talking like you don't have a premium player that hasn't blanked this week.....

  11. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Lallana to Davies(Everton) tonight? Lots of money itb and he looks nailed.

    1. Boydinho
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Morgan in and Gueye back soon

      1. saint4life
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Definitely not nailed, I prefer a Carroll punt at the moment, came straight in, had a good game, great win at Liverpool I'd say nailed for a few weeks. Morgan and gueye to put pressure/rotation on

  12. Garlana
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Not a great start, about 29 with only 3 left including Sanchez, hazard(c) and Alonso.

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

      Good score.

      1. Garlana
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I figured it was low, most of it coming from brunt, everyone else has blanked apart from a Kane assist.

        1. Bunk Moreland
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Exactly the same as me, however I dont own any Chelsea assets and will probably sink like a stone tomorrow.

    2. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      It's a decent score but many have 4-6 players left so it could be tight

  13. andymck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    16 from 6, plus an 8 point hit. This season keeps getting worse.

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

      Ah jeez I feel you. I'm the same minus the 8 point hit. Hopefully you're happy with next week's team at least

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

        It looks decent but then I thought my team would do well this week too lol.

    2. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      This season has been mad
      Simply isn't working like how it looks on paper.

  14. Cojiro
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    I'm guessing 36 from 7 is ok at this stage?

    1. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yeh that's great, assuming you have Sanchez or hazard captained?

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

      Yeah, top 10k average is 28.5 from about 7.5 players played

    3. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yea that's a very nice score
      Anything above 35 from 6-7 players should get you a green arrow as of today I'm guessing

  15. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Couldn't catch the City game- was Jesus all that? Sounds like it from these posts.

    1. 4. Arsenal FC
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Well compared to Sterling he played like Pele Ronaldo Messi Cruyff Maradona etc combined

      But he almost got goal and assist before scoring an offside goal.

      1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        lol!
        Thanks for the review- Well maybe I won't go out and do Ibra to Jesus just yet!

    2. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Hard to say, came on against tired legs but looked like he had a point to prove.

      1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers- thanks for the review

  16. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Hazard to Dele tonight to avoid price drop ? Double with Erisken and than maybe 3 with Kane also
    Thanks for previous responses !

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

      No

    2. TorresMagic™

    3. Carlton P
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      If no other issues yes
      I've seen your team before and I know you have no issues!

    4. saint4life
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I'm considering the same but money no issue at the moment I'm going to rude the first drop (double drop) see how he performs tomorrow.

  17. Carlton P

    Alonso l Jones l brunt l chambers l Amat
    Jones >
    A) walker
    B) Baines
    C) save
    With Jose rotating his 3 CBs Jones isn't nailed to start vs hull is he?

        Erm ok

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

      I don't think he will rotate the CB pairing for the next PL game. Will play a second string against Wigan in the FA Cup.

      1. saint4life
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

            • 9 Years

            Minimum 1000 bet

      2. 4. Arsenal FC
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Leicester fans laugh at those odds

  19. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years

    Credit to Spurs for pulling it back. Those hating on Spurs players they face Sunderland & Boro in the next 2.

  20. Cojiro
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    I'm tempted to keep Kun after that city performance. Thoughts?

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

      Thoughts are with you and everyone keeping.

    2. niko mate

  21. itwaswritten
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    16 points from 6 players. I hate this game.

  22. Pompel
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Selling Aguero for Kane correct decision then.
    Now, who to get for Hazard at this point:

    Eirksen

    Alli

    ??

  23. tisza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    33 from 5 - but wouldn't be devastated if Giroud picked up a 24hr virus to get Carroll's pts off the bench.

    1. saint4life
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      The way this weeks going I wouldn't be disappointed with the same just to get 5 from Antonio off the bench lol

  24. M.A.G
    • 9 Years

        • 14 Years

        Doubt it's a huge red, not terrible if you still have captain. Terrible week all round

  25. Lav

    A. Eriksen to Alli (-4)
    B. Hazard to Alli (-4)

  26. Bleach †

    9 years, 2 months ago

    Help needed with 2 questions 🙂
    1) Atm im rolling with Eriksen and Kane double-up; should I go for Eriksen + Alli instead?
    2)7.9mid options?
    A)Siggy
    B)Lallana
    C)punt on Sterling
    D)Other?

    1. F4L

  27. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Antonio or Sterling?

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

      Antonio.

  28. gunner 2727
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Sometimes wonder what the point in FPL is. Two firmino foul goals , Walker red card and pen, turns into a Kane assist. ML cash game leader has them all.....

    1. Bleach †
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Foul goals?

  29. mogadishu
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Benteke, Capoue, Holebas -> Barnes + 6.6m + Rose (-4). What do you guys reckon? Best option for 6.6m? Stanislas?
