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

    Alder & Vert being rested or injured?

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

      Rested

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

        False

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

      Both injured. Suspect minor, but who knows

  3. AccountAnt80

    Lose Alonso or Valencia for Aguero fund?

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

      Depends

      Alonso is very very expensive

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

      Alonso is a season keeper. Valencia

    3. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Valencia. ManU are good for clean sheets, but so are Che and Alonso has proven attacking ability points.

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

      Yep, depends, for instance I got him at 5.9m so would never sell

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

    About time Stoke scored really

    1. AccountAnt80
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, need a Stoke goal. Too many people have Walker.

  5. Ibracadebruyne

    My 2 keepers are Courtois and Grant, was thinking of playing Grant if they get a dgw next and then get rid of Courtois for GW28. Really not sure now.

    Any ideas?
    Cheers!

  7. Team Cruel

  8. FPL Puppy

    Kane close to his 4th

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

    Crikey O'Reily, nearly Kane again...

  10. Knowledgeable meerkat
    • 9 Years

    So this is what happens when Son doesn't play...

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

    Come on Kane you waste of space

  12. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I'm here praying Kane gets subbed off for Janssen

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

    Stoke are poo emoji.

  14. Clump
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone know the captaincy damage of Kane today? Well backed or not?

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

      34% owned top 10k, 8% captain if I remember correctly

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

        Thanks. Could have been worse.

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

          Average points for today has sky rocketed though so it still seems quite bad purely because of the enormity of his points haul

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

      #damagegate

      1. Clump

  15. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years

    Nearly assist?
    NEARLY POINTS

  16. Team Cruel

    Hughes is a fraud. How does he still have a job in football never mind in the PL?

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

      as the most dour man on planet Earth how does he motivate his team?

  17. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Spurs will definitely concede.

  18. Pacer.
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    surely a fourth in this for Kane. Turning round my week from marginally below average to marginally above. seismic

  19. Urchin
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    For the third time this season, Thank you Kane (c)

    1. George Costanza
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Well done

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

    Come on Walker. Some attacking points please.

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

      Won't be getting any with that shooting 😀

  21. We Will Klopp you

    9 years, 1 month ago

    Stubbornly playing both my Eve defenders vs Spurs, Kane rarely scores in two games in a row unless it's a peno.

    Lol walker

  23. Team Cruel

    Zero Spurs for me next season. 38 away games.

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

    Will Jansen be brought on for Kane or Eriksen ?

  25. George Costanza
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who to Sterling for a hit:

    A. Alli
    B. Eriksen
    C. Pedro
    D. Mane
    E. Save and just settle for Kun for no hit

    1. v12w12
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A

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

      I'm thinking E, maybe C

      1. George Costanza
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. Now Vert and Toby are injured, that changes things though. Spurs will revert to 4 at the back which might make it Alli.

  26. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Is Vert also injured ?

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

      No I think he took him off in case if he gets injured

  27. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Walker seems dead set on bagging a goal. Pity the greedy sod can't shoot

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