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.

    Is Andy Carroll close to a return? West Ham have decent games coming up and no blanks

    1. Hect.OR 98th
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      When he does he'll be close to an injury. Look elsewhere or you'll be spending 4 points for a transfer for every 4 points he gets for a goal.

      1. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I still have him as I've had to upgrade elsewhere and wasn't sure whether to keep him for these nice fixtures.

      Back in training this week. 'Should' be back for the Chelsea game but it's Andy Carroll, so you never know.

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      If City beat Huddersfield it will be part of DGW27.

      1. Crouching Tiger
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        So DGW next week? Woah.

          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah.

          Man City v Stoke being the extra fixture.

    Thought I'd got lucky having Pieters in my squad for a bonus player in the DGW. Now I'm not sure wether to even play him.

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He play Boro.

      Before today over the last six games stoke has conceded second least goals.

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

        Yeah suppose. May as well play him as I own him.

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

      Against Boro?

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

    I have 2 Aguero plans. Which is better?

    A. Kane+Alli ---> Sterling+Aguero -4 (Sterling to Snodgrass before 28)
    B. Lukaku+Alli ---> Snodgrass+Aguero -4 (Aguero to Lukaku before 28)

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

      B

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

      B

    3. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A.
      I have 2 as well. A like yours or

      Hazard,Lukaku > Sterling,Aguero keeping Alli and Kane.

  20. Arctic monkeys
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Almost Eriksen assist

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nevermind, offside

    Phillips injury does not appear to be that bad. Pullis said did not want to risk to avoid missing games further down the line. Scan will show more but must be a scan to show progress rather than determine the injury. otherwise why wait till wednesday

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

      Yep, holding

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yea but he is sheet anyway

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

        0 point better than 2 point especially for gw28 with five matches only is a hugh challenge

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

      I'll wait till the scan but usually when players require scans its at least a few weeks, which renders him useless for 28.

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

      Good news for GW28.

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

    Are Crouch owners planning to play him in gw 27 if they have a dgw? Not a great asset if he gets subbed early once and starts on the bench the other game

  23. Baked baines
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Mark Hughes you P***k. Couldn't have waited another 30 secs

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      why would he give a crap about stupid fpl teams?!

  24. FPL Puppy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Eriksen, pass it to Walker!!

    1. Ephurion
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He doesn't have Walker in is FPL team, and when up 4-0 he's happy IRL and focus on FPL

    I have a goal from Alli and two assists from Eriksen and it still feels like I'm doing poorly, ffs.

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I have the same. Feels fine.

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

      I have just Alli, the 2nd and 3rd in my ML have Kane, the 4th has Eriksen

      So I don't feel great either

    Hi Guy's

    What's the weather like in London ? I've just got Alli, any chance the Spurs game could be called off ?

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

      It's raining goals

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        from the wrong player

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

    Chances of Pieters assist have diminished with Crouch off

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

    Eriksen this, Eriksen that. Annoying me. Where's Alli?

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

      Scored.

  29. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    How was Snoddy been playing for West Ham? Need to bring in a cheap mid (6.3 or less) to enable the Aguero transfer in GW28

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

      King or Lanzini would be better

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

      Substituted early

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

      Looked alright yesterday, could have scored a couple on any other day. Lanzini also worth a look too.

    No 1 in the world Knut Hebæk has captained Kane of course
    He also still has Firmino and Mane left to play lucky bugger
