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.

          Rondon (c) 😉

        • 16 Years

        Joint top 🙂
        Probably need Mane to match Firmino to finish 1st.

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

    Costa & Sanchez ----> Aguero & Mane (-4)?

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

      Yes from me 🙂

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

      Why didn't you do Sanchez to Mane lasr week itself

    3. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      yep but you are one day late with Sanchez > Mane move

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        *2

  3. GE

    9 years, 1 month ago

    What would you do before GW27 for this team if City gets the DGW?

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

      (0FT, 3.0 itb)

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

      Bench: Jaku, Chambers, Robertson, Diomande

      1. DR0GBA
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Lukaku out for Aguero, and bring him back in next GW?

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

          Could be - or Kane -> Aguero?

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

        Has to be Phillips to Sterling

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

          Not worried that Phillips turns back fit in GW28 and Aguero scores a haul?

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

        You already used your FT?

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

          Yup 🙁 Stanislas -> Siggy before Siggy's rise tonight 😉

  4. Zlat-man
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Gw27: Alli, Kaku> Sterl, Kun
    Gw28: Sterl, kun> Siggy, Kaku

    Invest (-8) in this ?

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

      Investing 8 in sterling basically. Which is what I am contemplating. Probably will pay off

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

    Just seen the disallowed goal

    Poor from the officials

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

      Very poor.

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

      Who did you captain?

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

        Lukaku

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      whose goal was it (been decorating!)

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

        Gabby

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers Syd

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

    If city and Stoke have a double how many players are we aiming to have.
    I already have Grant and Crouch and thinking of getting Kun and Sterling for a hit.

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

      Already have Grant and Aguero
      Think Sterling/Sane is all I need

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

      Those 2 are not the best Stoke options. Crouch could be benched

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

        This

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

        I know but sure I have them anyway. May as well play them.

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

      I already have Grant crouch. Definitely will get Aguero. Maybe sterling or stones too

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

      Kun +1 maybe

      Stoke are pants. Avoid.

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

        This is nonsense

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

    Anyone ready for next season?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Arsenal

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

        Nope, this is their time of the season. Title out of reach and 4th place up for grabs.

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

      Already finished my rotation spreadsheet.

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

      Yip only 3 days away

      Garden tools at the ready

  8. zotter
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    A. Kane to Aguero for free
    B. Kane plus alli to Aguero plus sterling for minus 4

    On the latter I would want to ship sterling for alli in 29 so effectively sterling needs 8 just to pay for the transfer

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

      B

    2. DR0GBA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Probably A since the Spurs players are looking decent again, and being out of Europe might give them that FPL boost

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

        True. Actually it's 8 plus whatever alli gets v Everton that sterling needs to get. Don't think worth it

        1. DR0GBA
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Give yourself the week or until the Man City FA Cup game to decide though

    3. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A

  9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Maguire had 3-4 injections after hull game. Hopes to be fine for Leicester game

    Words from the man himself

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      3-4 days rest after injections*

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

      Must be a doubt then.

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

      Aguero would be out for the rest of the season with that.

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

      What a man.

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

    This better not end in a draw. Had it up to here with blank planning...

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

      Don't know

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

        What's the alternative? No City attack? Come on Uddersfield 😉

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

      Yep, just for two weeks

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku, Kane or Ibra out

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

        That narrows it down! Which one?

    4. Lawrø
      • 14 Years

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

    Kane to Aguero still a good move?

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years

  18. TerryVenables
