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

    Think I'll be swapping Kaku to Gabbiadini in gw 30.

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Sounds a good plan

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Never heard of him before tonight, but googled him and watched a few clips. You know the guys rep enough to warrant that swap or is it just because of Bou?

  2. kenzo.
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Would you transfer Defoe out if you had him for Llorente? If it was just the next 2 then its a no brainer but over the next 5?

    A. Stay with Defoe (MCI Blank BUR wat lei).... Better player but team completely out of form
    B. Get in Llorente (BUR hul bou MID TOT).... Not too good stats but team bang in form

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      No reason Defoe can't score against city

      1. kenzo.
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        yeah but then Llorente has two against BUR and hul

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Defoe is the better of the two

  3. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Up to 3.5k with triple Liverpool attack to go. YNWA tomorrow 😎

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years

      Sky's the limit!

      1. Arteta
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Indeed. I'm flying!

    2. Lawrø

      Congrats 😀

      1. Arteta
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers Lawro! 2 months ago I said I'm slowly catching you. Yeah right ...
        Great job! 🙂

    3. zotter
      • 16 Years

      Coutinho. Firmino. Mane ?

      1. zotter
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Or Origi. Sturridge. Can

      2. Arteta
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Exactly. I'd rather have second trio tbh 🙄

    4. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yowza! Need to give us a look at that squad 😉

      - Good luck! Fortune follows the brave and all that ...

  4. Royal5

    Why are Soton wearing Polish national kits?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      So their striker is actually Lewa?

  5. Smoky Johnson
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Aguero back on pens even if Yaya playing? Im sensing atleast one pen vs stoke/sunderland.

    1. liiusions
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yaya on pens

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        How do you figure?

    2. 404_FC
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      yaya first then kun

    3. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      What you're sensing is wishful thinking. I think it's the collective players call from Peps perspective.

  6. zotter
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Gabbi will have two doubles. Remember !

    1. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Blank GW28 though.

    2. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      3rd Striker Confirmed

      1. zotter
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        This. It's just two from ibra Aguero Costa Kane to go with him. Ibra also has two doubles

        1. Ephurion
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Don't disrespect Lukaku like that. He's the top FPL striker and cost less.

    3. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yes Southampton will have three games to rearrange if Chelsea make Cup Semi, at least two of them will be doubles.

      1. zotter
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        So there will be a double in 37. And another double somewhere. 34 they will play in the midweek if Chelsea go through

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Yes one of those three games will probably be played midweek in GW34, as a single game week, as the Chelsea match would be postponed at the weekend, although it is possible that they will play United in the PL instead.

          Their other DGW is likely to be in GW37

  7. Camp No No
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Have to say, these Serie A level striker, like Ibrahimovic and Gabbiadini, they just can't cut it at top level. And Zlatan is so old too, only good for some pensionary leagues anymore.

    Bad signings, when somebody proven like Ross McCormack moved for a meagre €14M.

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Zaza says hi

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        That's another one who couldn't do it.

        He wasn't up to the Serie A level either though.

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      English football is very overrated. Many think players from abroad can't do it here, but I think the real question is can the English boys do it abroad?

      1. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Kane Can't

      2. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Waddle did pretty well.

        1. zotter
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Platt. Beckham. Gazza. Mcmanaman. Owen even

          1. Camp No No
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Gazza and Owen flopped. But Becks and McManaman did pretty decently.

        2. zotter
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Waddle was amazing for Marseille.

          1. Camp No No
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            I know. That's why I said him. But he was already also the best English player alive and did arguably even better at Spurs. That's of course not surprising, at the time French league was significantly stronger than the English one.

  8. Leaf

    I'd take Lindgard off very soon

    One more foul and it's a red

      Gabb anytime - £5 at 3s
      Gabb score twice - £1 at 22s
      Utd / SOT Ht/ft - £1 at 40/1

            • 11 Years

            Hmmm bit long to wait until then. Any earlier doubles coming up?

        Bit of a random question for the old timers, probably from 3-4 seasons ago. Do you remember that midfielder who was the only 4 (or 4.5) mid in the game and became a bit of a fantasy legend? I vaguely remember he was from Newcastle, but could be wrong about that.

        1. Lawrø

          Ferguson

        Gabbiadini scored 4 goals from open play in all of calendar year 2016.
        He has 5 already for Southampton in less than 3 games.

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years

          That's just because Southampton is better team than Napoli tho. 😆

        Forster has had a bit of a mare

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          …of a season.

          Hassen on goal at Watford?

          1. Camp No No
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Yup. He has singlehandedly screwed Saints this season.

            Losing about whole defence was bad too, though.

      10. You've got red on you.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        a) Kane ---> Ibrah and play him against Bournemouth in GW27, then bench the following week and only field 10 players in GW28.

        b) Walker ---> Coleman and play him in both GW27 and 28.

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Have you got Kun?

            Nope

            1. Epic Fail
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              I'd concentrate on getting him first.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Oh and option b would mean 11 players for GW28

          City transfers first

        4. Winks Club

        Who is Soton reserve GK?

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Dunno, but their backup is the loan GK Hassen, and if you loan a young GK, sure you have a plan that you at least may play him, no?

        2. The Bandit
          • 15 Years

          Forster from next week probably
