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.

      Eriksen

      Not sure people advising Alli have seen any of spurs games over the last month

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

        I haven't to be fair. Just see Alli as more potent for a goal

    6. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Eriksen, could have had about 10 assists today! Gonna pain me to sell him for Sterling myself.

    Southampton so unlucky

  3. Leaf

    Southampton the better side so far and deserve this

    United will win though

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

      Wouldn't be so sure. United look all over the place at the back.

    2. Syd.

      Very true

  5. ekul the lokonga enthusiast

    Kane/Costa & Hoijberg > Gabiadini & Sterling/Sane/Pedro good moves

    Which players should i pick on both sides??

  6. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Move Costa to Gabbiadini for a hit, already taken one to get Aguero in.

    Trying to work towards:
    Grant Heaton
    Alonso Baines Coleman Mee Brunt
    Sanchez* Mane Morrison Siggy Pedro*
    Gabbiadini* Lukaku Ibra*

    for gameweek 29.

    Thoughts?

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

      Looks good. No spurs though.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Where do you propose putting them in?

  7. Odikostar
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Honestly wanna do rondon to gabbiadini for a hit

    1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast

  9. Somalion

    This is a game for Mkhitaryan, real shame he's out. Southampton with great paced attacks, would love if United had the same. Could've been really end to end stuff.

  10. Guvnor

    Guy in my ML had Kane and Alli. Huge haul for him today means im back to chasing his coat tails

    1. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years

      Mini League leader captained Kane. But had no other obvious choice. 🙁

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

    If you own rondon , dump him for gabiadini right now. Its a no brainer tbh

    Even for a hit

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

      For a hit no. Wait till 29

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

    Foster (Jaku)
    Walker - McAuley - Alonso - Robertson (Friend)
    Mane - Eriksen - Siggy - Zaha (Stanislas)
    Rondon - Lukaku - Ibra
    2.8 ITB 1 FT
    A) Ibra >> Aguero if DGW
    B) Eriksen + Lukaku >> Aguero and Sterling -4? After DGW Aguero >> Kane or Lukaku.
    Best choice would be just Lukaku to Aguero but 0.1m short. 🙁

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

      Rondon Eriksson to Morrison Aguero ?

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

        Hmm, that could be good. Or Zaha and Lukaku to King (no blank) and Aguero.

          Aparantly he improvised that line. Now it's in the top 10 best improvised film lines.

          If you watch the scene. You can see Segourney growing impatient coz hes talking all over her scene

      Sad news.

  14. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Is Costa really that essential? He doesn't seem to explode anymore and Chelsea's points are more shared around.

    Should I ship him for Aguero this week and hold Sanchez for Liverpool or do Sanchez > Sterling and keep Costa for West Ham?

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Im doing him for Aguero

  15. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Got exact cash for kane to kun....giving me this team.

    Is alli to sterling....or anything else worth a hit?

    Heaton (pickford)
    Alonso

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Haha Alli to Sterling seems to be the million dollar question, no clue either mate, keep changing my mind (look below)

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

        Sterling imo would need to get 8 points more than alli does in 27.

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Why 8 points more? Using 2 transfers to get him in and out, so that is only -4 though

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

      You look a bit light

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

        Yeah hit return by mistake...

        Guess it will be a recurring question....

        Is alli to sterling worth a hit if no other spurs coverage. ..

  16. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Alli to Sterling (-4) yes or no?

    I have no other Spurs cover

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

      I'm not sure anyou more mate...

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

      Who are your other midfielders?

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Hazard Siggy Phillips Mane

        If I do it, I'll probably do Sterling to Snodgrass in 28 and Phillips to Eriksen/Alli in 29

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

          Possibly get rid of Hazard instead if you have any other Chelsea coverage

          1. JÆKS ⭐
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Doing Costa to Aguero, but yea that has crossed my mind as well, watched both the Spurs and Chelsea game though.

            Hazard was painful to watch in the first half from an fpl point of view but he was superb in the 2nd half. Alli on the other hand wasn't involved that much, although his positioning is still promising

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

              As a Chelsea fan, and watching every Chelsea game I like to have players in my team, but as consistent as Costa is i'd rather have Aguero for a DGW. Hazard also isn't worth his price, and i'd rather have Pedro than him. I'd 100% have Fabregas over Hazard if he was nailed on...sadly he isn't 🙁

              1. JÆKS ⭐
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Yea totally agree he is not worth his price tag, but he seems to be delivering consistently now, it will probably also be easier getting Sanchez back in through selling Hazard though, so really leaning toward selling Alli rather than Hazard, but yea IF I'm selling anyone though.

  17. Optimus.

    If this finishes 2-2 watch Utd win the match on away goals scored

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …

      no, it goes on funniest team name

      Including goals scored against their parent club?

  18. nkhoughton

    Crouch to Gabbiadini?

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      he's not that short.

    2. JÆKS ⭐

      Crouch might have a dgw next week

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

        How might he? If so when will we know?

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

            A double vs city and Middlesbrough

            Crouch is getting taken off early alot is a dgw with him even worth it?

  19. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    Come on Saints. Would love to see them win.

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

      Yes. First trophy in 40 years. Would be amazing.

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

    I'm not 100% certain about what could happen regarding City. Are the following two statements correct?

    1. If they beat Huddersfield, they will have DGW in GW27.
    2. If they lose to Huddersfield, they will have single games in GW27 and GW28.

    Is that correct?

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

      Yes that is correct

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

      Yep

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

      Both correct

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

      Correct. So worth buying city anyway. Just watch for injuries v huddfersfield

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

    3-2 incoming

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

    Imagine Herrera's reaction when he's actually hurt. He'd probably cry.

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

      Such a cheating little low life

      No need for it

    2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      he'd probably blart

    3. Sims
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah he reminds me ofbsturridge and suarez

  23. Smoky Johnson
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone considering Yaya instead of Sterling seeing as how he is both on pens and free-kicks? Also played every game since he came back and a good differential from sterling/sane.

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

      Plays to deep

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

    Lingard close.

  25. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    folks, is it crazy to go with THREE city players if DGW is confirmed?

    Want to do :

    Jesus + Mane + Alli >>> Kun + Sterling + Sane for a hit

    Or are City unreliable still in the PL?

    1. Smoky Johnson
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No two will be enough. Also Mané is playing during blank as is in form. Nonsense removing him.

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

        want to bring back Mane and McAuley for gw28

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

      Keep Mane, he has a game in week 28

    3. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Get rid of Jesus and Allionly.

  26. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Move Costa to Gabbiadini for a hit, already taken one to get Aguero in

    Trying to work towards:
    Grant Heaton
    Alonso Baines Coleman Mee Brunt
    Sanchez* Mane Morrison Siggy Pedro*
    Gabbiadini* Lukaku Ibra*

    for gameweek 29.

    Thoughts?

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      To far ahead to plan, before you get to GW29 there will probably be something else to plan around (Injury, Suspension, another player hitting form etc)

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        True, won't think that far ahead but do you think Costa to Gabbi is worth a hit given that Costa never hauls?
