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.

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

    1. The Hindu Monkey

      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month 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
      • 14 Years

      Yep and aguero will be up against this stoke defence!

      Excellent *Mr Burns voice*

    4. kalmoffit

      He's going to be hard to sell.

    5. WVA
      • 9 Years

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

    6. Rossamous
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month 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

    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, 1 month ago

      Selling when DGW CONFIRMED

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Assuming City will have a dgw obviously

    2. MTPockets
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Sterling vs sun/STO. Selling (or Phillips)

      • Rossamous
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month 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

      although will Alli take an early bath please!

      1. Dreams

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

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

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

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

    8. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years

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

      There goes the Kane > kun plan

        Why?

        • 15 Years

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

    10. Hybrid.power

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

    12. FPL Virgin

      9 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

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

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

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

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

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

        9 years, 1 month ago

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

      Selling Ibra for Kane has worked out well

    17. Sims
      • 9 Years

      Another alli goal with kane assist and I might actually orgasm

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 10 Years

        looool:)

    18. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years

      Still worth picking Grant over Heaton for the dgw?

      1. Netley Lucas
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Butland's not far off a return.

        1. Mark-O
          • 10 Years

          That's in April

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

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        What Spurs he got?

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

          Kane(C)

          1. Jafooli
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            And Pedro.

            McAuley on his bench. Casual.

        2. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Wow Kane (c) 😮

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

          And Walker

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

          Nothing but Kane

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

            He has Kane captain and Walker?

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

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

      3. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$

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

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

      4. Josse
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month 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, 1 month 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
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

        Mark. Ogie.

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

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

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

        It's a roulette wheel

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

      Owning both Lukaku(c) and Kane

      Bittersweet

      1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Lots of us got only Lukaku so enjoy mate

      2. Netley Lucas
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

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

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

          My MLs in jeopardy because rivals captained Kane shucks

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

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

    24. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month 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

    26. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month 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, 1 month 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. Darth Crooks
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month 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. JustPark
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Did that with Brunt where he actually delivered.

    28. Lav

      Pieters assist/goal would be great.

      1. Sim Simma

    29. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
      • 11 Years

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

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years

        Not sure if serious

          Main rival captained kane...

    30. Feed tha Sheep
      • 13 Years

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

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yes
