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

      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.

  7. mojoindojo

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

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

        Defoe or Berbatov 5 goals maybe? Not sure.-

      2. mojoindojo
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        25?

      3. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Probably some Suarez haul vs norwich.

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

        Presumably Aguero when he scored 5

    • Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

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

      Kane Captain Numbers

      Overall: 6.2%

      Top 10k: 8.0%

        Wowzers

      2. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years

        That's going to kill my rank

    • Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kane only 20% ownerhip 😯

    • Vinyl78LP
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month 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.

    • JustPark
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      This is getting messyy

    • TheBusDriver
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Walker you useless idiot. Do SOMETHING!

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

        He's holding a CS

    • Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

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

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

        Yeah, Boro will hopefully be their usual toothless selves.

    • AA33
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Kane's predicted points on 20 already!

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

      • Sims
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

          Kane(c)?

      • Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

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

      • Kun Tozser
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Aguero triple captain against Sunderland and Stoke right?

      • Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        What a week to captain Kane. Bloody hell.

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

          Called it 😉

          Rest of the week been shocking, but this match 😀

      • Godot - Fashanu Zealand
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

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

      • Game of Throw_ins
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

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

      • Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I can't believe I benched Kan

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

          Don't believe this sorry

        2. JustPark
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          You really did?

      • Flynny
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Kane and alli rampant....

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

        Crazy game...

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

      • JJeyy
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Now:
        Ibra or Kane to Aguero?

      • Ady87
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Dare I ask how bad the Kane captaincy is?

      • Magic Bean
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

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

      • eazy
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month 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.
