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.

    Should I lose Costa or Sanchez in order to enable the Aguero transfer?

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

      And bring in whom?

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

      Costa

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

    Top 10k average up by 19 today to 57. Average of 2 players left and 90% captains played.

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

      56 after hits

  3. Emiliano Sala
    • 9 Years

    Firmino or sterling ? Sterling has a dgw and a blank and firmino two normal gws. Also he plays burnley gw 28 at home
    Which one ?

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

      Sterling for GW27, then transfer him out for Firminho for GW28. That's what I'm doing.

    2. Fergies fledgling
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling for double and then Firmino for Burnley?

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

        Seems good. But too much transfer for 1 player in 2 weeks ?!

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

    Kane --> Aguero (C) still on the cards for everyone after todays events?

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

      For me, yes. Don't know/care about anyone else.

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

      If my frontline was Kane Ibra Lukaku I'd still be doing it

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

        Which one would you sell?

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

        I have that frontline..kane goes for kun this gw

    3. Sanguinista
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      My frontline is Costa, Kaku & Kane. I'm doing Costa -> Kun if City have a DGW

  5. skodaole2
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Since the only players i have with a GW28 blank are Walker, Alli, Ibra, Kane, Crouch I could either (Dont want to bring Kun so Ibra/ Kane -> Kun is out of the question)

    A) Drop Alli for a MCI mid now if MCI have a DGW and then drop Crouch and MCI mid for a hit for 2 players without a blank.

    B) Keep the team as it is and go without a MCI player and just change Crouch and Alli next week without a hit. Thoughts?

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

      A though going without Kun when many will TC him is madness IMO.

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

        Wouldn't you want to TC someone in GW34 who is in better form and guaranteed closer to 180 minutes?

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

          I'm not going to TC him. I'm just going to (c) him, but I know many will TC him.

      2. skodaole2
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers for the reply, there is no way to predict Kun's minutes though. Plus i dont like Guardiola's strategy at all. Kun will be anxious to score and prove his value and it could lead to either his being booked or missing easy goals. And its too soon to TC there will be many opportunities ahead imo.

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

      Wait until the game on Wednesday to make a decision. Doesn't look like any of the city mids are rising right away so can wait

      1. skodaole2
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers, wouldnt rush into any action yet. If MCI have a DGW though, i will have a difficult decision to make and cant choose between the two strategies

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

    After having to read all of the cowardly lollers when my Jesus differential broke his foot, shipping him to Kane is sweet revenge.

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

    Who makes way for a City mid?

    a) Hazard->Sterling
    b) Eriksen->Sterling
    c) Phillips->Yaya

    I do want Sterling but Yaya in a DGW could be fun

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

      Feeling like giving a last hurrah to Yaya as well!

    2. The Wise Owl
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hazard has to go surely.

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

      Wait for Phillips hamstring news injury to see. If he is out he could be one to go despite GW28 match as he is out of form.

  8. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Alli and Lukaku -> Sterling and Aguero (no hit)

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

      Only if next week is a DGW for City

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

    Figuring out which of the 2x Spurs and 2x Chelsea attackers to turn into 2x City attackers is going to do my head in this week.

    1. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      1 each.

    2. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs Mid and Costa

  10. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    60 points with Mané to play

    Green arrow?

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

      Yes

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

      Yup

  11. Merlin the Wraith
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    64 (-4) pre baps with Morgan sub for Phillips. Hoping for 'dead cat bounce' from Leics.. f*****g hate that term hehe

  12. TOBY1
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sane a strong differential to Sterling.

    Also played less mins this season so less likely to be rested / subbed off early?

  13. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years

    What week will City's DGW be?

    1. TOBY1
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Next week

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

      This one coming.

      1. Make United Great Again

        Cheers.

  14. FPL Panda

    What would be sahncez's potential dgw fixtures ?

  15. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    My mate in my ML got 96 points, is there anyone else in the world with at the ml?

  16. Business Cat
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    65 all out, post baps and auto-sub.

    Looks like another week of gatecrashing the top 10K before getting ejected again just as quickly 🙂

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

      Don't worry. I think you will hang on there for some time.

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        All those Kane owners/cappers in the top 10K will be forcing me back out to 11/12K again probably.

        Was 8792 this morning.

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

          Wow. Love those numbers. Iam in 1.2 million. 61 and Sadio Mane remaining. Hope I gatecrash the 1m mark and stay there.

  17. Caleb's Kitties

    9 years, 1 month ago

    Has to be ibra ahead of kane to aguero after this performance?

    I can do above with 1FT but need to sell alli to sterling for -4 to enable kane to aguero..what a dilemma..

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

      No it doesn't.

      1. tm370
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        ibra's form last six - 8-7-2-2-6-5
        Kane - 17-5-2-6-1-17

        1. tm370
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          that last 17 should be 20 for Kane, after BPS

    2. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      That's what I'm thinking now. Was all set to do Kane to Kun, but his price rise this week will make it harder to bring him back in.

  18. fedolefan
    • 11 Years

    Same carnage from the FirMane due tomorrow please.

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

    Feel like doing the Firmino to Sterling transfer now, even if they lose, gw27 and 28 against Sunderland and Stoke.

    A) Do it now
    B) Wait for Wednesday

    1. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      why do it now?

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

        Impatient, haha

  20. puhd
    • 11 Years

    Snodgrass or King?

    Thanks!

  21. Karan_G14
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero to Kane confirmed for GW29!

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

      City dgw coming up....

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

    Start
    A) Baines (have Coleman)
    B) Morrison

  23. Optic1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Those Kane goals have cut me deep.

    Luckily I had Walker, Alli & Eriksen cover.

  24. Point-one short
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    9.1 players played on avg from top 10k and 89.9% captains played, 6.5 players on avg played from all teams and 53.7% captains played. Top 10k avg score post-BPS 57.1, 36.1 from all teams.

    1. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      6.5 players from all teams seems very low - unaware of blanks and (c) still on blanking players and (vc) points to come in?

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

    58 points bang on 100k. Red?

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

      Yes.

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

      Nah

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

      Grey arrow

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

      Green

  26. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So for anyone playing catch up now, Kane is clearly the better option than Costa because of his explosive potential?

    This is a post GW 28 query.

    Thanks.

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

      Only in terms of captaincy. Nothing in it in general.

    2. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He is definitely. My Captain in GW29.

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

      Yes

      I'd try to have both though

    4. I Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah definitely.

      1. EmreCan Hustle

    Wait. Kane got injured? Didn't watch the game.

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

      No hes fine

  28. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Any Stat on points on Bench which will be added to average score later?
    Should be High especially this week.

  29. TOBY1
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Is it possible to see how much I paid for a player?

    I have Phillips. Currently I can sell for 5.7 and he is 5.8 so is it likely I bought for 5.7?

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

      Transfers -> List View

    2. Karan_G14
