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

      He always looks alright when I see him
      Admittedly not lots of times

      What's wrong with him

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

        He's just very strange. Has the odd match where he looks completely comfortable in the team, decent and a good prospect.

        Then plenty of games he looks Championship standard, loses the ball with every touch, shoots into defenders. It's a bit bizarre how much he can fluctuate.

          Sounds a bit like Arsenal's Ox

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

            Very good comparison, though when he fires I think Ox looks better.

    I always think Lindgard is better than he gets credit for

    What is it specifically about lingard that van gaal and mourinho like about him so much???

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

      Fills a skills gap and plays how and where he's told.

  10. Team Cruel

    Lingard has scored in last 3 games at Wembley. Spurs should sign him for next season.

    That's a red

    1. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years

      No way.

  13. Leaf

    Shut up Neville you dick

  14. Richd

    Disgraceful inconsistency from fpl once again regarding Eriksens non assist.

    Back to the Telegraph game next year. Get to enjoy FA cup more too.

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

      The inconsistency this season is getting a bit ridiculous

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

        Yep that's all I'm peeved at. Just make it up as they go along.

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He got the two assists correct?

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

        That hasn't nothing to do with the decision making.

  15. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    He went in with 1 leg. Defo not a red card

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

    Scummy Utd players trying to get the young kid sent off when they are 2-0 up.

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

      I know, but all teams do it.

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

    On replay I reckon yellow is fair

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

    Could easily have been a red

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

    Any mid worth getting, up to 5.6m, may stretch to 5.7m depending on a price rise?

    1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years

      Invest in snodgrass if u have the money

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

      King for 28.

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

        Oh, Josh King. Yeah, thanks.

    3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…

      King

  20. 1966 was a great year for E…
    • 15 Years

    He just about pulled out from the straight legged lunge.

  21. Giovanni Giorgio
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    ref is having a shocker as per usual

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

      He got that right and it wasn't him who disallowed the goal

      1. Giovanni Giorgio
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        It was him who made the final decision and you know very well what I meant. Also, that could've easily been a red and you know it. He basically launched in at full speed

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

          I don't know it otherwise I wouldn't have said he got it right. Idiot

  22. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    That was a red...

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

      nah

  23. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
    • 9 Years

    VVD in for Stephens- even with one leg

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

    What's Neville on about? You can see from the first few replays it's not as bad as he was making out

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

      This

    2. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Neville is a great pundit 70 percent of the time. Sometimes i dont think he thinks about what he says and comes out with rubbish.

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

        Did you see him on ArsenalFanTV?

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

      Biased beyond belief

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

      Which is exactly what Neville said.

      He admitted it wasn't as bad on replay, a yellow is fair, and the initial challenge had him fooled into thinking it was much worse.

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

        On the first replay he said 'that's a leg breaker'

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

          He said it more than once but to be fair it did look worse first time around

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

          And on the following he fully accepts he was wrong and it wasn't nearly as bad.

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

      Always chuckle when I see someone post about Neville being biased.
      Pot/Kettle always springs to mind.

  25. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Gary neville is such a bias dose.

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

      Has nothing to offer as a commentator.

  26. Syd.

    8 United players chasing the referee trying to get a Southampton player sent off who had just been fouled by a United player 😆

    Bonus points added, people. Let's not get too involved in watching football that does not matter.

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

      73 with Mane to come, got to be happy with that from 10 men.

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

        Well done.

  28. GE

    9 years, 1 month ago

    What would you do before GW27 for this team? 🙂

    (0FT, 3.0 itb)

    Heaton
    Coleman/Baines/Brunt
    Haz/Mane/Alli/Siggy/Phillips
    Kane/Lukaku

    Bench: Jaku, Chambers, Robertson, Diomande

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

      Nothing until I see the FA Cup replay result.

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

        If City wins? 😉

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

    Hassen apparently fit, since on bench, and Forster still sucking and costing So'ton points and titles, what do you think is the chance that Hassen starts at Watford?

  30. Syd.
