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.

    Please forgive my ignorance as I haven't been on here for a while, but is the City DGW in GW27 confirmed?

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

      Think they need to beat Huddersfield midweek

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

      If they beat Huddersfield

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

      Only if they heat Huddersfield on Tuesday

        The match has been moved to Wednesday for TV

    Guys,

    what do we think of these transfers for a -4 ?

    hazard > sterling
    costa > aguero

    Tnks.

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

      Can you do Costa > Kun only ?

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

      Do it

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

      Aspiring.

    4. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Costa --> kun only for me

    5. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      V good

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

      Yesterday I was on Kane/Alli out, today I am on these two.

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

    A. Costa, Alli, de Roon> Aguero, Sane, Sterling (-8 hit)

    Or

    B. Costa and Alli>Aguero and Sterling (-4 hit)

    Sorry for the repost, bottomed on another page.

    Thanks

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years

      B

      1. George Costanza

        Thanks

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

      A is tempting, isn't it?

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

        It is Netley, It is

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

    Costa and alli to sterling and kun worth a -4? My likely moves

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

      Defo

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

      Tempted myself. But I think Costa has a better fixture than Kane this week

    3. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not for me

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

        Why not La Roja?

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Costa vs West Ham

          I'd keep him, West Ham can't defend

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

            You could have a point, but he does have a penchant for just the one goal

  5. Sailboats
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku > Aguero for free? Good move or not?

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

      Depends who else you have

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

        Ibra - defoe - lukaku. No city players.

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

          Yeah, unless you can afford Defoe out.

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

            cheers man

    2. liiusions
      • 10 Years

      I think you know the answer

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

    Italy sleeping

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

      Siesta?

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

      Why did the winger not even try to tackle Care?!

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

    Just realized I have to also figure out how to get Alexis back in for gw29...

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

      Unlikely he goes crazy against Lpool , I'm tempted to fix some other stuff first.

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

        Right, 29 is West Brom, waiting until after the second blank.

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

        It's possible that any striker could go crazy against pool. Not the strongest back line or best keeper. They're still disorganised ..

  8. FFPro
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I managed to get Pieters 0pts 2nd off my bench due to Phillips and Carroll no shows.

    That makes 20 points from 15 autosubs this season.

    Surely some kind of record

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

      Just checked the Guinness Book of Records and I can confirm it's a new World Record.

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

        You obviously have an inside track 🙂 How many beans were in your bath?

  9. dunas_dog

    What are likely permutations for Sanchez double week assuming they progress in FA cup v Lincoln and go out of CL to Bayern?

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

      Well 34 would be SGW, but they'd have to fit another game in on top of DGW 37? So yeah, there'll be 2 DGW's for him unless they TGW 37, can't see that. Precedent already set for teams playing PL in Europe weeks.

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

        Thanks that's helpful

    2. FPL Panda
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Why would 34 be a sgw for Sanchez?

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

    If City beat Huddersfield,

    Jesus + Alli > Aguero + Sterling (-4) yay or nay?

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

      Yay yay yay

    2. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      These are my exact moves but I may have to make them before the replay or be priced out

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

    A) Ibra - kun
    B) Kaku - kun - kaku

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. Caleb's Kitties
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A

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

      What is the point of having Ibra?

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

        A home fixture against Bournemouth,could easily get 10 + points

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

          Nah, he isn't Lukaku.

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

            Still fancy him with his experience

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

      B

  12. King Kohli
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    If City beat Huddersfield,

    Phillips + Ibra --> Sterling + Kun (TC) -4

    worth it?

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

      Other 2 strikers???!

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

      Oh yeah, TC is debatable but sun & STO do stink a bit defensively.

  13. Sonic Huth
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Keeping Kane, Ibra- Kun now. What a performance

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

      I'm getting rid of Kane.

      It's not like we didn't know he can score hat tricks.

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

        Me too. Hattie done . Can bring back if needs be

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

          Aye. FPL isn't about living on past performances, more about predicting future ones.

          Thanks for the points Kane, but I'll see you again in a few weeks.

  14. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku Alli ➡ Kun Sterling -4

    Worth it?

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

      Potentially

    2. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yup

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

      Maybe, maybe not

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Why George Costanza?

    4. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely

    5. MR SUNSHINE
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking the exact same moves. Take it you will revert to another -4 for GW28 to bring back Luk and ???

    Heaton
    Alonso coleman mcauley

  21. Ed

    Lukaku + Alli/Eriksen > Aguero + Sane (-4)

    Got to be done right if City win in the FA cup?

    1. Epic Fail

      Doesn't have to be, no.

  23. FPL Maldini

    Great feeling when you realise nobody above you in your ML owns Kane 😀

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

      Yeah , or just 1 or 2 above , if you're a battler

  24. Vinyl78LP
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Kane 40 pts to my nearest ML challenger's (Triple Captained) Lukaku's 18 points gives you the nice fuzzy feeling.

    My TC still in my top pocket.

    1. Debauchy
      • 13 Years

        ...aye, my favourite arcade game of my youth,

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

          Aye, not bad.

          Though... Chase HQ > Outrun 😎

  25. DantheManinaPan
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Phillips to Sterling/Sane makes more sense than Kane/Ibra/Lukaku to Aguero, right?

  26. Camp No No
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Surely they're going to give Eriksen that 3rd assist?

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

      Doubt it

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        By their own rules they should.

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

          You think they stick to their rules? 😀

          1. Camp No No
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Not really. 🙁

        2. kalmoffit
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          If you're expecting consistency, perhaps you haven't been watching.

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

    As terrible as this sounds, a Zlatan red card would make life so much easier for next week

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

      Rooney (TC) vs BOU

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

      It did cross my mind. But as someone who benched him for Bou it would be detrimental.

  28. Camp No No
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Kane 3rd most started forward in top10k with 35%, 5th most overall with 19%. That hurt non-owners. Bigly.

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

      Having Eriksen and Alli softened the blow a bit.

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        That Eriksen 3rd assist would soften some more! 😡

        1. Les Bleus
          • 14 Years

      Plenty here dare, why not

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

        Will wait for the replay match and then decide, early transfers starting to bite it seems now.

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

      I don't want to sell him, mostly because he keeps scoring hat tricks

        But up against Koeman defense while Kun plays 2 matches against Stoke and Sun? Point to ponder this.

          Well I'm probably doing Costa to Kun instead. I'll definitely have Kun. If it's your only way to get him then just do it

      I just bought him back this week so don't have much money in him. He will be the one to go.
