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.

    Lol at anyone who's considering Aguero for the DGW.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Why? He plays stoke

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

      Why? With 2 plum fixtures vs Kane at home to Everton, why not

    3. MTPockets
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Against sunderland/stoke. That would just be stupid.

      • Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Surely its lol @ anyone NOT considering Aguero? If Aguero hattricks v this defence & you don't have him you are talking mega damage to overall rank.

      Assuming City has DGW27, was leaning towards Kane to Kun than selling Lukaku, as it allows me to do Iwobi to Sane too, with the half time hat trick I'm torn...

      Anyone has the same dilemma? Taking into account fixtures and form who should I ship for Kun? Will be getting Lukaky back for GW 28 though.

      1. DMP
        • 10 Years

        I haver Costa, Kane and Lukaku. Want Aguero for dwg ... Who to loose ?

      FPL should allow a retrospective chip where you can change your captain after all games have been played.

      1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        No way

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

        I agree. Get rid of the all out attack chip.

        1. Donnie Brasco´s
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yes! I agree!

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

        Yeah and a chip to be #1 for 1-week

      4. Knowledgeable meerkat
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        This is actually a good idea - we'd all have used it by this stage of the season though 😆

      5. Bellerinmondo
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Nah. Annoying frustrations are part of the addition of the game. Don't sanitise the risks !

      6. fiveyears
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        What would be the point in things like that? Chips should still be subject to the deadline, whatever they are.

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

        Big no.

    6. PvA
      • 9 Years

      Stoke look like they don't know what hit them

    7. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      It would be hilarious if Man City lost and it was just a single gameweek

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

        Not sure, makes decisions a hell of a lot easier for some. Ibra instead of Aguero for starters.

    8. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Didn't own kaku for his 4 and don't own Kane for whatever crazy score he gets today, terrible fantasy management.

        I had both but captained neither.

        1. Donnie Brasco´s
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          You Captained Costa or Hazard??

    9. Mark-O
      • 10 Years

      Chaos if Ibra hattrick against Southampton later

    10. nkhoughton

      Should I be worried with no Kane? 0.7 ITB 1FT

      Robles / Heaton

      Alonso Nyom Chambers Funes Fodder

      Hazard Alexis Eriksen Siggy Phillips

      Ibra Costa Crouch

      Do I make a Transfer?

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

      Suppose selling Kane for Aguero isn't that bad. Everton then blank isn't great and then bring Kane back GW29.

    12. mir
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Like many one of lukaku or Kane must make way for Kun only to be transferred back. But which one? Was all st on Kane but now thinking Lukaku and bring him back gw28.

    13. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      Come on Huddersfield!!

      1. Lav

        This

      2. fedolefan

        Why now?

    14. Donnie Brasco´s
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kane is Top Scorer in the league now!
      Woooow!
      I have Lukaku for (C) but I dont mind, cca 20pts from Hary is great.
      Just 20% ownership!

    15. TOBY1
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Keep or ship Phillips?

      1. tm370
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Obviously wait for news on Wednesday/Thursday after his scan, and after the City result is confirmed.

      2. Our Man Charlie
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Shipped for Sterling

      3. TOBY1
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        For me it's whether Alli will score more against Everton than Phillips will over 2 weeks.

    16. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Chance of a rank increase today (140k) with Alli, Eriksen and Walker?

      3. Bubz

        Probably

      4. rdamjan

          No doubt.

        • Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Errr...

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

          I hope so - but Kane's scorer is so huge it will largely negate any gains, esp with potential captains.

          Alot will depend on the clean sheet I suppose, which will be worth 6 points.

      6. Bubz

        Stoke vs the big teams this season...

        Chelsea 4-2
        Arsenal 3-1
        Liverpool 4-1
        Spurs 4-0 at HT

        2. fedolefan
          • 11 Years

          Kun triple (c) on the cards especially when you consider Sunderland are the other team.

        3. Knowledgeable meerkat
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          And next up They play man ci- oh sorry you said big teams

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

          Lost 4-1 to City at home too. Held United to 1-1 twice though.

      7. Granville

        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I never did consider captaining Kane. I captained him weeks ago when Lukaku went crazy and captained Lukaku this week. Them the breaks.

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

          I thoroughly considered it 🙁

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

            VC for me

        2. Bellerinmondo
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Same here. Annoying. Least we own them

        3. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Similar here. He's failed me when I've captained him 3-4 times and I've owned him since GW14 or whatever.

        4. shirtless
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          Burnley & Hull still fresh in the mind! Got him in for Costa in Sky though.

      15. theChosenOne
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Some of the comments on here make me cringe. If you have kane in your team but didn't captain him....maybe just be glad of the points?

        1. shirtless

        Toby off injured. Hopefully Spurs will let one in.
