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

      Obviously this is the first final you have watched

      They've been doing this for years.

        Doesn't make it less American.

          Ok Donald

    Who would you drop? (With Eriksen)
    A) Kane
    B) Costa

    And who would you bring in?
    1) Aguero & Sterling
    2) Aguero & Siggy

    Tempting to bring in Sterling, but Siggy has (BUR) + a game in 28.

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

      do sterling to siggy week after?

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

        You think it's worth the extra transfer, thats the question 🙂

        Thanks, 1 with dgw might be enough

  4. Business Cat

    Gabbiadini looked like the Walking Dead on that team line up graphic 🙂 ...where's his skin tone!?

  5. Leaf

    Come on you reds and whites

  6. JAC THE CAT
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Ideal front 3 from GW29, mine is...

    Ibrahimovic - Kane - Lukaku

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

      Mine too.

      Doing Costa to Aguero, then Aguero to Kane

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

      3-5-2 here w/Alexis back, Kane & Kaku

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

        I'll fit some Sanchez in by GW31 too 😉

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

      I'm so jelly.

      Ibra - Kun

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

      Ibra Kane Defoe/carroll

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

    Is this worth -8?

    Ibra Alli Phillips ➡ Kun Sterling Siggy

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Can get Aguero without dropping Ibrahimovic?

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

        I can

        Lukaku Alli ➡ Kun Sterling -4

        1. JAC THE CAT
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I see the dilemma having to drop Ibrahimovic or Lukaku

          Tough call

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

      Only point of debate is the Alli to Sterling move unless you need to make it for the cash.

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

      I wouldn't be getting ibra out before Bournemouth at home.

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

    All those Gabbiadini owners who brought in for GW26 finally get to see thier man in action...

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      My mini league rival brought him in 🙂

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

      Be a laugh if... lol

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

      What if fpl decide to give him that erekson assist?

  9. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Looks like Alli will fall and Sane rise before Weds. Bit annoying

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

      Still get 2 games before 29 though, Alli won't.

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

      Not for us new Sane owners. 🙂

    3. Egyptian Giza
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      How in God's name would Alli fall? Crazy world

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

        Alli>Sterling/Sane move is well on...

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

    Hope Zlatan gets sent off

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I don't, I want his haul next week

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

        I want his haul, but I also wouldn't mind an enforced transfer to Kun.

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I'd rather sell Kane tbf

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

            Aye, my plan is to sell Kane. But at least if Zlatan gets a red, there is no risk of missing out on a Kane haul.

            But yeah, Kane is gone otherwise.

    Is Tom Carroll good option for next few weeks as 5th midfielder (have De Roon but need the .1) to play week 28 then mostly on bench

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, might bring him in this GW.

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

      He's the standout 5th mid...playing and 4.2m...super enabler.

      Not sure I'd be taking hits or wasting FTs to get him in though

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

      No

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

    Rafinha goal

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

    The referee in the rugby is more useless than Mike Dean

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

    Just in relation to the top 10k captain choices the 5th highest percentage owned captain was Sanchez.

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

      Yeah thought so lol, didn't look. Honest

  15. Egyptian Giza
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Is it logical to do Eriksen to Sterling?

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

      Unless you've got someone else you can get rid of, yeah.

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

      Nothing in FPL is logical

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

    So... Sterling vs Phillips?

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

      Ignore. Sterling be Sane as a Phillips replacement.

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

        *or dear lord

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

      You are joking?

  17. Mattymo23
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    If spurs hadn't played Thursday I'd have captained Kane. Gutted

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

      Four points from each of his earlier captaincies, had me shy away too.

  18. joescores
    • 10 Years

    Do we know the BAPS in Spurs game?

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kane 3
      Eriksen 2
      Lloris 1

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

      No but it'll be Harry 3, Erik 2 and Hugo 1

    3. Egyptian Giza
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kane - eriksen -alli

    Why don't more players twerk when they celebrate scoring a goal?

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

      Not enough junk in the trunk.

    2. Business Cat

  24. mojoindojo

    Tempted to go all out for City DGW for -8

    Sanchez to Sterling
