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.

      56 was looking like a good score until today

  15. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Last three meetings between these sides has ended 4-0

  16. George Costanza
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    I continue to be dumbfounded by the lack of appreciation for Pedro. The man is a sure starter now, he scores and assists. He is a brilliant home player and he has since added away goals too. Yet, he gets continually overlooked from both casuals and non-casuals alike. I am happy to let everyone spend a fortune on Hazard while Pedro outscores him and spend the 3 million elsewhere.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      He's not a sure starter, slight doubt with willian lurking

      1. George Costanza
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        It's rare. Liverpool was the last time and since then he has started every game in all competitions. He has clearly won the battle in Conte's eyes.

      Most people have had 3 Chelsea for quite a while. I considered downgrading Hazard this week but went to maximise my squad for the blanks.

      1. Epic Fail
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        This is it. And even not having 3 Chelsea, other pressing issues this time of the year.

    3. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      There is plenty of apreciation but people have more important things to focus on

      1. George Costanza
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        True. Perhaps it is double/blank planning. But look at the scout selection - Hazard is usually there, Pedro doesn't get a look in.

  17. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights

    Can I have a massive moan about a 2nd half blank for Kane 😎

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No.

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      See you on the scout cast

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

        I said that to Mark, I must go on as I'm top scorer. I do actually have a medical reason not to though.

    3. Syd.

      FPL breeds greed

      Bet you at HT you thought he would get another one

        I never predict anything in this game anymore.

  18. Bruno Bruno!!

    50k drop after today only Alli goal to get excited about

  19. Lecky Legs FC
    • 10 Years

      What place are you?

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        3rd

        1. Epic Fail
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Far off the pace?-

          1. Lecky Legs FC
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            About 60+ after this GW will be doing differential from now on.

  20. Speédy

    Kane is the new troll machine

    1. Ephurion
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      He's scored in 5 of the 6 last matches against non top 6 teams. Hardly a shocker that he'd do something against Stoke.

  21. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    So with this team:

    Jaku (Valdes)
    Alonso Brunt Pieters (Coleman Holebas)
    Hazard Mane Alli Siggy (Phillips)
    Lukaku Costa Crouch

    Costa to Aguero with my FT, or anything else for a hit?

  22. Lovejoy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Haz/Benteke -> Sterling/Kane for a -4?

  23. Rains of Castamere
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    78 with Mane to go. Lovely.

    1. Pacer.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Incoming OG hatrick and Ben Thatcher style assault, red card plus 10 game ban

  24. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years

    Own only Alli and Eriksen from this, good or bad result?

  25. Bubz

        • 12 Years

        1. Epic Fail
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Aye, it's ridiculous how much football there is.

  26. NorwichCityLad
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Cahill > Mawson or McAuley

    I like Mawson but the ownerships to mcauley is what borhers me
    Thanks

  27. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Now waiting for Mane's 2 points tomorrow

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

    Teams that make the FA cup semi finals will they suffer from more blanks ?

    1. AndyCook
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Probably not, they will lose a fixture on the weekend of 34 but there is a midweek slot which they can play in

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

    70 with Mane and an OR of 200k
