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.

    People with Alli and Eriksen, who would you drop first? Can't keep both when they blank in 28

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Alli

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

        I've got both. Will probably drop Alli as Vert got injured.

        1. Syd.
          • 17 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Toby got injured
          Vert got subbed

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

            Thanks for that

    2. NATSTER
      • 15 Years

      Leaning to Alli.

    3. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I chose Erik over Alli - on spot's, etc. Hope that helps.

    4. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Drop Eriksen
      Hasn't scored for last 10 Games
      IMO Its better to Keep a Goal Scorer than an Assister

      eriksen is the king, involved in almost everything

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

        67 right now before BPS. 9K before table update tonight and Mané to play. Might hit top 5K.

    2. ChampChomp
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Another bang average week for me then

  3. tm245
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone get a century? Surely a Kane capper must be close.

      1. Rossamous
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        102 after bps and Mane to play. Nice

      2. tm245
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Is that you?

        1. Syd.
          • 17 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          No it's somebody in my mini league

          1. tm245
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Big score that, shows you what captaincy can do for you.

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

    60 with Mane at an OR of 200k a green?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Of course.

    2. AndyCook
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah

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

      You posted the averages above yourself. Did you just want someone to lick your poohole?

  5. DR0GBA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Any chance of Mane getting an injury before tomorrow?

    I have PVA sitting first on my bench..

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

      Anyone can get injured.

  6. ChelseaGuy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Firmino and Mane vs 18 points :/

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      18 points

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

        Syd..u captained Kane?

        1. Syd.
          • 17 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          No I don't own him

          Had to make do with Alli & Eriksens points

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

      Not too much of an ask

  7. Rossamous
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    It's weird seeing such a badass like Kane speak the way he does

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

      It's like a dentist has injected him with a litre of anaesthetic

      1. Rossamous
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Lol

  8. Dreams
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    61 with sadio Mane to go. Somewhere in 1.2 million. Green arrow imminent?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Green today, might be red tomorrow.

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

        Why TM?

    2. AndyCook
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yes for sure. Think TM means you might slip slightly tomorrow versus where you end up tonight if Mane doesn't perform as you only have him in that game

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

        Ah well understood. By the end of the gameweek, my rank would improve from 1.2m right?

  9. ARKHAM
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Brought McAuley, Lukaku and Kane in for -8.

    Result.

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Indeed

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Scraped, it just.

  10. Thiga
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    85 all out. Really needed that 😆

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

    OR should be updated at around 5.30

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

    United XI: De Gea, Valencia, Bailly, Smalling, Rojo, Herrera, Pogba, Lingard, Mata, Martial, Ibrahimovic.

    1. AA33
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Strong team! Perfect platform for Jones to start in GW 27 🙂

      1. Leaf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Very true 🙂

  13. Messiah Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    My front line is
    Kane Costa Lukaku

    So Costa most logical choice to sell for Kun of Kun has DGW? Or Kane?

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

      You said it

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

      Costa

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

      Kane IMO

  14. liiusions
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Only a Liverpool B team victory can cheer me up after that

  15. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Sterling enough city coverage for dgw?

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

      Aguero has to be captained imo

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

      Can't have enough 'coverage' in a DGW.

      Find a way to get Kun in

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Nah, we all need Kun

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

    Does fantasy football fix still work for people?

    The app won't let me log in and the browser version seems extremely 'buggy'

    1. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I've been facing the same issues with the app. I reinstalled it, but after I few days I was automatically logged out and I can't get back in yet again.

  17. Emiliano Sala
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Carroll and sanchez to aguero and sterling yes or no???

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

      100%

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

      Yes

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

      Yes

    4. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      All the way

  18. AA33
    9 years, 5 months ago

    OR 1 captained Kane!

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

      And that's why he's top. Great decision

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Only 12 game weeks to go.

    3. Ibracadabra
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Nice decision. I was very close to an amazing decision myself -see comment - http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2017/02/23/the-scoutcast-episode-215-disclaimer/?hc_page=2#hc_comment_15090491

      Sanchez (0), Ibra (0) and Carroll (0) to Kane (20) Costa (6) and Mane (TBD) for a -4.

      In the end I didn't do it and chose Costa over Kane in an Ibra replacement. A 14pt swing at least. Oh well. Must move on to next week now.

  19. Clifford☯
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    How many players left ?

    Only Mane here.

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Only Mane too

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Mane on the map here too.

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

        0161

    3. dark91
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Firmino left

  20. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Currently have 6 players playing in GW28. Crap.

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

      1 transfer and it's 7 which is decent

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        How many will you have?

  21. Jazz!
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    I hate you Harry Kane.

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

      Biggest troll this season. Makes it worse I ditched him for Aguero/Giroud

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Would you take him as an Ibra replacement?

  22. grig
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Kane&Eriksen to Sterling&Kun is now a taaaad bit harder to do..

  23. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone going Hazard or Alli > KDB?

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

      Plays too deep

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

      I haven't seen anything from KDB that makes me want him.

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Not KDB, Sterling or Sane imho

    4. liiusions
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      If KDB was 8m you wouldn't even be considering him ahead of Sterling/Sane

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

      I'm doing Hazard to KDB and handing him the armband

  24. DR0GBA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    After that Spurs game would you still take a -4 to get Sterling in for any of these midfielders? (Using FT to bring Aguero in)

    A) Antonio
    B) Eriksen
    C) Alli
    D) Mane

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      A all day long.

      1. DR0GBA
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        What about GW28?

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          27 is the priority, assess 28 after.

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

      The one that doesn't play

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

    Average left to play?

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

    The interviewer must be drenched in spit.

    1. Rossamous
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Needs an umbrella when standing that close to Kane when's he talking

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

    I want Mané to do a Kané tomorrow

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

      Troll?

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

    Will Spurs go back to 4 at the back and Son starting - therefore buggering up Alli?

  29. joersherman
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Erik & Kane > Sterling & Kun now looks a bit less obvious given I wouldn't be able to get back in til past gw29

  30. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Barca on the back foot

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      They are not the team they use to be
