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.

    Bad call linesman.

    Soton goal wrongly ruled out

    United in dodgy favourable decision

    It's actually a joke

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

      Jose to say they deserve luck after they win and then promptly criticize the refs two weeks later for perceived injustice.

    2. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It is a joke, but hardly United's fault.

      Not like Sanchez punching the goal into the net and getting away with it.

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

        Never is United's fault. Always the referee.

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

          It's a dreadful call, there have been dozens of them this season. It has been getting worse and worse in recent seasons. Really very little to do with the clubs involved, unless you are of the tinfoil hat wearing persuasion.

    8. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      they get into Europa group stage.. which effect their fatigue and they will be deemed crap as FPL prospects

  13. Malcolm Tucker for England …

    1. fedolefan

      My FPL team will disagree.

      Poor mans Ndong

  15. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    If Bertrand stays onside there I reckon there would've been no offside call at all. Think the lino flagged him before Gabbi scored, dreadful officiating.

    1. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It looked on in real time, too.

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

        Clearly onside. Bertrand fully offside. He was the one who was flagged because I would bet the lino thought the ball was going to him. Utter crap call.

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

      Can see why he did tbf, hard call in real time

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

        Think he jumped the gun in a big way though. In fairness, the red white theme both have going is bound to be a pain.

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

      Probably called it offside instinctively, but by then felt it was too late to change his mind.

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

        Maybe so, just shows how badly challenge calls are needed in some sort of capacity

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

          Aye, bit harsh on them having to make split second judgement calls.

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

            Yeah it's just needless. Have a video ref to say in the ref's ear that Gabbi is onside, goal should stand. Simple as really.

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

    Who thinks offside goals should get reviewed via replay technology?

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No. Just don't have corrupt big team bias.

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

      No reason why not as the game has already stopped

  17. Siva Mohan
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    all those Gabbi owners watching the game would be p***sed off 🙂
