There’s just a single Gameweek 26 fixture on Sunday’s menu as Tottenham Hotspur entertain Stoke City in the 1.30pm kick off.

Harry Kane, Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli boast the main goal threat for the hosts as Maurico Pochettino names the same XI that started against Genk in midweek – an indication that Spurs will line up in a 3-4-2-1 set-up.

Snapped up by over 96,000 FPL managers last week, Kane was the sixth most captained player in the Gameweek – he’s bagged four goals in his last two at the Lane and fired a hat-trick against Fulham in the FA Cup last weekend.

Eriksen, meanwhile, has delivered double-figures in four of his last six home appearances in the league and served up a goal and assist on Thursday evening.

Alli has managed attacking returns in four of his previous six at the Lane but was still subject to more sales (66,000+) than any player without a Gameweek 26 fixture.

Meanwhile, Fantasy managers have the chance to do some early scouting on Stoke’s main men ahead of a potential double Gameweek 27.

Should Man City progress past Huddersfield on Wednesday night and confirm the double, the likes of Peter Crouch and Marko Arnautovic could find their way into our short-term plans.

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

      As a Kane and Alli owner that could hardly have been worse had it been in the Prem 😀

    Sterling & Aguero best two city options for dgw?

    1. Team Bobcat
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      They are the favoured here but partially because most people cant afford ( me included) an Aguero KDB double up so the affordable option for most is the Aguero Sterling/Sane one.

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Sterling is probably a better option than KDB either way

        1. Team Bobcat
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          That too.

          But there is something nice about De Bruyne in your midfield. Sterling just hasn't the same ring tone to him 🙂

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Oui.

    I'd love some jammy Pieter points 2nd off my bench

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd love some points.

  8. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I'd love to compare Ronaldo and Crouch's leg workouts

  9. Jafooli

    Spurs vs Man City, looking forward to this.....Aguero scouting.

    1. Wally banter
      • 13 Years

  10. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Loads of Alli points and minus points for ever other player will be good.

  11. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Do Kane non captainers still benefit from a haul in the top 10k?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Of course

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Nice. Thanks

    2. PvA
      • 9 Years

    3. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Still thinks Crouch plays for them

  17. Epic Fail
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years

    2. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

    3. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

    1. Wally banter
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

  20. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Harry Kane is a mouthbreather.

  21. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Spurs looking decent

    1. b✪mber
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      unfortunately (as I got 0 Spurs) you're right

  22. Team Bobcat
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Spurs should tire fast after fighting until the bitter end midweek.

    Just need to hold them for the 1st twenty I would say

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      They're the fittest team in the league

      1. Team Bobcat
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Dont tell me that. I needed someone to say sure mate!!

      2. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        This is what fitbit does to people

  23. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Shoot Dele, shoot

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Bit harsh shooting him.

  24. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Do you think that Snodgrass will keep his place in the starting XI? Was subbed of first for Ayew yesterday (completely forgot him).

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, especially with Antonio now out

    2. Team Bobcat
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He should do the next day anyway with antonio suspended. Think he just needs a goal to settle.

  25. Ted Bovis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Feel this is gonna be a 1-0 Spurs win with a Wanyama 91 minute goal...ugh!

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Really? I think it's going to be 4-1
