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.

      I am. Dropped Eriksen for Mané this week. Feeling like I should stop there. Maybe just shift Stan and draft in Mawson like id planned before the dgw news. Spurs could punish as we are witnessing right now. Rose back next week?

      Not gonna take hits to get an extra City player, that's for sure.
      Will use my FT on Spurs - City - Spurs (and City in GW 31 or so) 😀

    Good day to own all 3. Shame my Kane & 4-0 score cast looks out of the question now.

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

  6. Ridcully

    I own Kane, Eriksen and Alli. I am very happy.

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      That's the holy grail! Doesn't get better than that

  7. mojoindojo

    Kane(c) and Eriksen more than doubled my score. 🙂

  8. Ha.
    • 10 Years

    Happy Sunday, one and all

  9. Jay_
    9 years, 5 months ago

    What's the record score for a single player in a single game week in FPL?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Defoe or Berbatov 5 goals maybe? Not sure.-

    2. mojoindojo
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      25?

    3. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Probably some Suarez haul vs norwich.

    4. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Presumably Aguero when he scored 5

  10. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Walker, alli, eriksen in this game. Guess it could've been worse.

  11. PvA

    Kane Captain Numbers

    Overall: 6.2%

    Top 10k: 8.0%

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

      Wowzers

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      That's going to kill my rank

  12. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Kane only 20% ownerhip 😯

  13. Vinyl78LP
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Sick as a chip yesterday after 21pts, Kane(c) with an Alli topping has me on the ceiling. Keeper Grant getting mullered but who cares.

  14. JustPark
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    This is getting messyy

  15. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Walker you useless idiot. Do SOMETHING!

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

      He's holding a CS

  16. Mark-O
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Is anyone going to get Grant for dgw hoping that city doesn't do a 4-0?

    1. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah, Boro will hopefully be their usual toothless selves.

  17. AA33
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Kane's predicted points on 20 already!

    Which means it will be 40 by the end of game 😉

  18. Sims
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Assuming baps stay that way (unlikely after cleanie added)

    Currently on 51 points from this match alone 🙂

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Kane(c)?

  19. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Shouldn't have panicked and taken the armband from Kane to Lukaku. In hindsight.

  20. Kun Tozser
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Aguero triple captain against Sunderland and Stoke right?

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

    What a week to captain Kane. Bloody hell.

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

      Called it 😉

      Rest of the week been shocking, but this match 😀

  22. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    This is not looking good.. 35% of players in the top 10k own Kane - red arrow confirmed

  23. Game of Throw_ins
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    In top 50 only 9 have kane. What a chance for Kane owners to catch'em 😉

  24. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    I can't believe I benched Kan

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Don't believe this sorry

    2. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      You really did?

  25. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Kane and alli rampant....

    And yet I'm planning to dispose of them both....

    Crazy game...

  26. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Makes getting in Aguero so much tougher.

    I have Lukaku, Ibra and Kane and don't want to lose any now. Planned to ditch Kane but it's tough given his form.

  27. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Now:
    Ibra or Kane to Aguero?

  28. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Dare I ask how bad the Kane captaincy is?

  29. Magic Bean
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    No chance selling Kane for Aguero now, Lukaku to get the chop.

  30. eazy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Sorry the gloating but what makes this even more satisfying is the fact that I went with my gut instead of stats 🙂 Hopefully this could be the turning point my season needed.
