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

    Kane is going to take all the attention off Aguero this week for all the casuals 😎

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I said before game even if Harry as my captain goes big he's out for Aguero

      now, er...

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yep and aguero will be up against this stoke defence!

    3. We Will Klopp you

      Excellent *Mr Burns voice*

    4. kalmoffit

      He's going to be hard to sell.

    5. WVA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Shame most of my casual ml rivals all have 3 spurs this week

    6. Rossamous
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I was never going to lose one of Kane, Lukaku, or Ibra for Aguero for a hit for one gameweek. It's madness and shakes up the dream front three. Going for two city mids instead

  2. JÆKS ⭐

    Alli owners

    Keeping or selling for Sterling?

    His position is good on the pitch, got fouled a lot when he was setting up the attack so could have got some more so far

    1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Selling when DGW CONFIRMED

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Assuming City will have a dgw obviously

    2. MTPockets
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Sterling vs sun/STO. Selling (or Phillips)

    3. Rossamous
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Selling but might get back gameweek 29 or 30

  3. The Hindu Monkey

    Just so glad I stuck to my heart this week with Harry captain

    biggest green arrow of season incoming

  5. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Well that settles it, Sterling in for Firmino next gw, have to make up the damage Kane has done somehow.

  6. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    number 1 in the world captained kane. 2 and 3 dont own him.

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

    Tottenham thrash this Stoke side every time. I won't read to much into it.

  8. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 11 Years

    Another Alli goal please without a kane or eriksen assist would be nice

  9. SpaceCadet

      Why?

      • 15 Years

      I'm still doing it, might get an extra 0.1 or 0.2 too.

  10. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Come on Eriksen. Get some goals

  11. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    That Kane FK was going top bins before the deflection, don't lie to yourselves

  12. FPL Virgin

    9 years, 5 months ago

    From the conclusion of this week's captain sensible article: "...with no real rival for the Toffees, Lukaku – as evidenced by the RMT ratings – perhaps looks the safest bet."

    🙁 🙁 🙁

    1. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      He was the safest though mate, they didn't say Lukaku will be the top scoring

      1. tm370
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Why complain about sound advice?
        Spurs were in a slump - Everton's form is/was exemplary, and Lukaku is in fantastic form.

    1. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Haha, I'm the opposite - want Kane to keep going

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

        Lucky haha.. I need Alli to score two unassisted goals and Spurs to lose their clean sheet after he gets taken off on the 88th minute. Any chance of it happening? 🙁

  15. 1966 was a great year for E…
    • 15 Years

    Hands up if you got both Kane / Lukaku captaincy decisions wrong.

    1. Dreams

      Yes.

    2. mir
      • 16 Years

      Yep. Have got captains wrong throughout the season. Still I want him to keep going.

      1. 1966 was a great year for E…
        • 15 Years

        No doubt, happy to own them both 🙂

  16. pablo discobar
    • 16 Years

    Selling Ibra for Kane has worked out well

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

    Another alli goal with kane assist and I might actually orgasm

    1. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 11 Years

      looool:)

  18. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years

    Still worth picking Grant over Heaton for the dgw?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Butland's not far off a return.

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

        That's in April

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Lol, now that would be a real test of my patience...

        2. Netley Lucas
          • 11 Years

    2. kalmoffit

      Definitely, imo.

  19. Bubz
    • 12 Years

    Never seen such domination of an FPL season as the current no.1

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      What Spurs he got?

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

        Kane(C)

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          And Pedro.

          McAuley on his bench. Casual.

      2. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Wow Kane (c) 😮

      3. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        And Walker

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

        Nothing but Kane

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

          He has Kane captain and Walker?

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      There was one guy a few years ago. Ehh... john reeson or something? He was number 1 for months

    3. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$

      Will be swallowed up when the chips come in

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

        Not if he keeps making decisions like Kane(C)!

    4. Josse
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      He's new to the game. Started playing last season but dropped out fast. This year his sons banter was the reason to give it another try:)

    Captained kane during lukaku's goalfest verus bournmouth...

    no prizes for guess who i captained this week:-/

    1. Egyptian Giza
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I feel you bro, I got Luk right the first time and then I trusted him too much I guess. But hey, better than nothing.

  22. fedolefan
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    I just need to blindly follow someone who's had the midas touch when it comes to the captaincy. Any users on here that are must-stalk for the captaincy pick?

    1. Dreams
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Mark. Ogie.

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

      Same with me.. Probably he'll lose his touch as soon as u follow 😉

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

      It's a roulette wheel

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

    Owning both Lukaku(c) and Kane

    Bittersweet

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

      Lots of us got only Lukaku so enjoy mate

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Same, at least we have Harry, many don't.

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

        My MLs in jeopardy because rivals captained Kane shucks

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

      Same here. Though I have accepted the reality that I will always mess up with the armband choice.

  24. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Kane you donkey-.- So is triple C on Kun next week okay thing to do? Not sure if any big hitter is going to have as easy matches as Kun on DGW. Opinions? Cheers

    Plot twist: FT Spurs 4-5 Stoke

  26. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Who to bring in for Carroll & Stanislas over the next two weeks?

    A - Llorente & Sterling
    B - Llorente & Antonio (after his suspension)
    C - Other?

    Heaton - Pickford
    Coleman - McAuley - Brunt - Pieters - Amat
    Sanchez - Eriksen - Siggie - Phillips - Stanislas
    Costa - Lukaku - Carroll

  27. Darth Crooks
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    I was contemplating Kane, Alli or Coleman for captain and had it on Kane for a while, then decided on Coleman a couple days before deadline. Then like half an hour to go I switch to Brunt after looking at previous home form and deciding it made more sense. Fuuuuuuck

    1. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      What's the first rule of FPL?

      1. Darth Crooks
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I know, I've been kinda in and out with FPL this season so I'm even more annoyed I tinkered TWICE like an idiot.

        1. 1966 was a great year for E…
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Never captain a defender 😉

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

            Did that with Brunt where he actually delivered.

      2. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Don't talk about FPL?

        1. 1966 was a great year for E…
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          That's the first rule of FFS.

  28. Lav
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Pieters assist/goal would be great.

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

      This

    2. Tibbs
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      this, though not hoping for much.

  29. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    So weird to get two assists and a goal out of a single half and feel thouroughly depressed about it!

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Not sure if serious

      1. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Main rival captained kane...

  30. Feed tha Sheep
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Looks like I will have to sell Costa for Kun now instead of Kane?

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yes
