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.

    Ibra the narcissist.

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

      Gets away with it because he backs it all up

    2. Somalion
      • 16 Years

      Says he'll score goals. Does exactly that.

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

        Yeah, credit where due

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

          Only time I'll accept it is when it's backed up.

          And in fairness, a lot of people thought he couldn't hack it in England at his age.

    A win is always deserved

    One thing playing well but you have to get goals not concede and get over the line

    1. Forza

      And benefit from questionable refereeing.

    2. mojoindojo

      And have match officials that are not piss-poor

    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? Obviously subject to injuries, form etc, plus may get Walker in instead of Pedro.

      Ibra doesn't do rest

    4. Forza

      • 11 Years

      Five full days of rest. That's more than enough, even for footballers.

    Was awesome to be at White Hart Lane today watching Kane in the first half. The second half was devoted to talking with a local about his TOT tattoo and eventually permitting him to do a bump off my hand. No idea that this is what I would be in for today. Go Kane!

    Ibrahimovic's arrogance is absolutely wonderful. What a player, what a guy.

      Arrogance is not really a wonderful thing...

        With Ibra, it is.

      I do really enjoy it. The very top players believe they're the best going, some are more vocal than others, but I think when you're entire life is dedicated to performing at the highest level, you need that ego.

    3. Sims

          Over 7.5 corners?...how do you get half a corner?

          1. Mílanista
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years

            Saying over 7 is apparently confusing.

            • 12 Years

            Doesn't need to. The 8th corner, gets it over 7.5, 7th doesn't. Simples

      They shoulda played Martial instead

      I owned him for over a month, it was brutal.

  14. Epic Fail

    If only Messi and Ronaldo weren't around, Zlatan might make the top 100 players.

  15. Sims

    Forster played like those high school kids that are forced into keeping because nobody else wants to

  16. Jay_

      How refreshing was that Ibra interview. All we normally hear is the standard "all about the win for the team" that comes from a brainwashing media training team.

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

        Personally I found it offensive

        1. Somalion
          • 16 Years

          Offensive is a bit much

      If people are going to complain about results due to officiating or bad calls, then why are these same people completely and consistently resistant to new ideas and change like replay for offsides/handballs...?

      Do you want the calls right...or not? Cant have it both ways.

      1. Epic Fail

        When those are I think depends on their FA Cup and European progress, there was even talk of a TGW if they get far enough..

      While it is nice to have United win, I think it is all a bit marred by that disallowed goal. Southampton were robbed of that and it's really disappointing that we still don't have some technology to help out in these situations. Would have changed the game entirely, no idea what way it would have went, but all I really want is a fair match.

        Som it is ridiculous in this day an age ( old git here) that the biggest and greatest game in the world lags so far behind all other sports. It will come , so why not now ? Really pathetic by the Dinosaurs of Fifa
