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.

    I know it's tough reflex wise, but Forster has to get a touch on that and keep it out. Right through his hands and just over his head.

      The speed the ball came off it head. Nah...

      Forster was poor with the free kick, cant believe a keeper his size didnt get a touch on the third.

        Ibra looks injured

        1. Pep says
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          He's 35. Played a very intense game after and FA cup game a few days ago. What do you expect

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

          Has scared me 3 times in this match. Went down each time and it looked bad, but was back up and running after.

      • Holmes

      • David Davros
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Keep one of Alli and Eriksen:

        A) Alli

        B) Eriksen

        C) Nothing in it

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

          B

        2. MR SUNSHINE
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Would say Eriksen. Has freekicks and is an assist whore

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

            Forster was the main culprit

            He was shocking

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

              Yeah , was very good last season, this season not so good

          2. George Sillett
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Bad day yet again for potential game changing decisions.

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

          My concern is about their PL table. 13th is okay, but if they lose more players this Summer and don't fully replace them (which I don't think they have), it's going to get more and more precarious.

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

            3 years in a row best players have been filched, they stand up every time . must be some great spirit in those parts
