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

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

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

      Alli

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

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

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

          Toby got injured
          Vert got subbed

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

            Thanks for that

    2. NATSTER

      Leaning to Alli.

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

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

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month 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

  3. tm245
    • 14 Years

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

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

        102 after bps and Mane to play. Nice

      2. tm245
        • 14 Years

        Is that you?

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

          No it's somebody in my mini league

          1. tm245
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

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

  4. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Of course.

    2. AndyCook
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah

      • TerryVenables
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

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

    3. DR0GBA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Any chance of Mane getting an injury before tomorrow?

      I have PVA sitting first on my bench..

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

        Anyone can get injured.

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

      Firmino and Mane vs 18 points :/

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

        18 points

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

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

            No I don't own him

            Had to make do with Alli & Eriksens points

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

        Not too much of an ask

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

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

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

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

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

          Lol

    6. Dreams
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

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

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

        Green today, might be red tomorrow.

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

          Why TM?

      2. AndyCook
          9 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

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

      3. ARKHAM
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Brought McAuley, Lukaku and Kane in for -8.

        Result.

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

          Indeed

        2. Fred54
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Scraped, it just.

      4. Thiga
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        85 all out. Really needed that 😆

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

        OR should be updated at around 5.30

      6. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

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

        1. AA33
            9 years, 1 month ago

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

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

              Very true 🙂

        2. Messiah Hazard
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month 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
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            You said it

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

            Costa

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

            Kane IMO

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

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

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

          Sterling enough city coverage for dgw?

          1. Viper
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Aguero has to be captained imo

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

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

            Find a way to get Kun in

          3. Netley Lucas
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Nah, we all need Kun

        5. Viper
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month 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
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month 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.

        6. Emiliano Sala
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

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

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

            100%

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

            Yes

          3. joersherman
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

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

            All the way

        7. AA33
            9 years, 1 month ago

            OR 1 captained Kane!

            1. Viper
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

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

            2. TorresMagic™

              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Only 12 game weeks to go.

            3. Ibracadabra
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 1 month 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.

          • Clifford☯

            How many players left ?

              • 13 Years

              Only Mane too

            2. Fred54
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Mane on the map here too.

              • 10 Years

              Firmino left

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

            Currently have 6 players playing in GW28. Crap.

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

              1 transfer and it's 7 which is decent

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

                How many will you have?

          • Jazz!
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I hate you Harry Kane.

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

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

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

              Would you take him as an Ibra replacement?

          • grig
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

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

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

            Anyone going Hazard or Alli > KDB?

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

              Plays too deep

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

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

            3. Netley Lucas
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Not KDB, Sterling or Sane imho

            4. liiusions
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

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

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

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

          • DR0GBA
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month 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
              • 10 Years

                • 9 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                What about GW28?

                1. Netley Lucas
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  27 is the priority, assess 28 after.

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

              The one that doesn't play

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

            Average left to play?

            • 15 Years

            The interviewer must be drenched in spit.

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

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

          • Duffy Dunk
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I want Mané to do a Kané tomorrow

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

              Troll?

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

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

          • joersherman
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

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

              • 16 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              They are not the team they use to be
