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 ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Why? He plays stoke

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

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

    3. MTPockets
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Against sunderland/stoke. That would just be stupid.

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

      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.

      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

      No way

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

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

      1. Donnie Brasco´s
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Yes! I agree!

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

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

    4. Knowledgeable meerkat
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months 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, 5 months 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, 5 months 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, 5 months ago

      Big no.

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

    Stoke look like they don't know what hit them

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

    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, 5 months ago

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

  6. Garlana
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

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

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I had both but captained neither.

      1. Donnie Brasco´s
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        You Captained Costa or Hazard??

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

    Chaos if Ibra hattrick against Southampton later

  8. nkhoughton
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    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?

  9. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    9 years, 5 months ago

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

  10. mir
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 months 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.

  11. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years

    Come on Huddersfield!!

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

      This

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

      Why now?

  12. Donnie Brasco´s
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months 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!

  13. TOBY1
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Keep or ship Phillips?

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

      Shipped for Sterling

    3. TOBY1
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

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

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

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

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

      Definite green arrow

    2. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      You already know the answer...

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

      Probably

    4. rdamjan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      100%.

    5. MTPockets
      9 years, 5 months ago

      shuddup

    6. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No doubt.

    7. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Errr...

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

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

    Stoke vs the big teams this season...

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

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

      KUn TC locked

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

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

    3. Knowledgeable meerkat
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

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

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

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

  16. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 5 months 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, 5 months ago

      I thoroughly considered it 🙁

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

        VC for me

    2. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Same here. Annoying. Least we own them

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

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

    5. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

  23. Sim Simma

    No Toby, No clean sheet

  24. theChosenOne
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months 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
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yes I am. Went Hazard but still grateful!

    2. Viper
      • 16 Years

      I'm very glad of them 🙂

  26. shirtless

    Every time I consider selling Harry he nails it. So confused now..!?!

  27. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Wimmer bandwagon

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

    I'm going to be very smug and say I don't have to sell Kane for Aguero.

    Carroll - > Aguero here 😎

  29. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Toby dead

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

    Toby off injured. Hopefully Spurs will let one in.
