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

          56 was looking like a good score until today

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

        Last three meetings between these sides has ended 4-0

      4. George Costanza
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month 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 ⭐
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

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

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

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

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

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

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          No.

        2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 15 Years

          See you on the scout cast

          1. Granville
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month 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

            I never predict anything in this game anymore.

        9 years, 1 month ago

        In my ML 1st has Kane as (C) & 2nd has Alderweireld,Kane & Ali,I only own Ali 🙁

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years

          What place are you?

          1. Lecky Legs FC
            • 10 Years

              Far off the pace?-

                • 10 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

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

      8. Speédy
        • 9 Years

        Kane is the new troll machine

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

      9. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month 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?

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

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

      11. Rains of Castamere
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        78 with Mane to go. Lovely.

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

        1. AndyCook
            9 years, 1 month ago

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

        2. PvA
