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.

    What is the ideal situation striker wise next season?

    At the moment we have Lukaku, Costa, Kane, Zlatan & Aguero/Jesus as options, is that too many to choose from, leading to wasted transfers swapping between them?

    1. PvA

      Get through this season first

      If you still have Jesus as an option then I suggest you shut the shop for today sir.

      I've enough on my plate with the next 2 gw's nevermind next season!

      Next season will be far more predictable IMO, given none of the big guns will change managers, which is nice to start with.

      Costa, Lukaku and a budget 3rd seems a good place to start.

    I refreshed my FPL team and wondered where my Kane points are. Turns out I benchwink fooled myself.

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years

      Even you're at it 😮

        You calling me a winker?

  7. JJO

    So Brunts assist wasnt given cause the ball going down touched someones back
    And this attempt to drible and defender stopping him and trying to clear it will be given as assist
    Is this idiotic or what?
    What faking rules are this?

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

      Wot

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years

      Wot

    Good job I own McAuley so I can benefit from these contentious assist decisions

    Corner coming up, Eriksen Assist

  10. Arctic monkeys
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    What do you think of this 8 points hit:

    Defoe, Eriksen, Fodder ==> Aguero, Sané, Stones.

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

      Would prefer Pieters tbh or just a player with a fixture in 27 and 28 is the same thing.

      1. Arctic monkeys
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Already have three defenders playing in 28

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

          And a full xi? Pieters anyway over Stones. Much more attacking

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

    The reasoning for not giving Brunt an assist was that it touched two players.

    It only touched one player before Kane so surely Eriksen gets the assist.

    FPL are consistently inconsistent.

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

      Eriksen didnt even try to pass it to Kane

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Oh, what do you think he tried then? Just play the ball to the direction where there were no other Spurs players but Kane but not attempting to pass it to Kane? In real terms, when player plays the ball to direction of another player, it is called a pass attempt.

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

          He simply got tackled

          1. Camp No No
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Got what? Who do you think tackled him?

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

              He was trying to dribble past the defender and the ball hit the defender. It's not rocket science

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

                How do you know he wasn't trying to play the ball around the corner to Kane? Are you a mind reader?

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

                  By watching it

      Moan moan moan

    5. FFPro
      • 11 Years

      Oh I'm sorry I didn't know you guys could read Eriksen's mind / intentions

  13. Jafooli

    Dele's not in the game

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

      Didn't take him many efforts to rack up 7 goals in games so don't worry

  18. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Kane is going to get a hat trick today

  19. Bubz
    • 12 Years

    Spurs rampant

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

    6500+ in the top 10k don't own kane

    Only 800 captained him

  21. FPL Puppy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Kane close!

  22. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    This will end 5-1 with Eriksen Alli blanks

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

      Will take that as long as Kane scores all 5

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      One of them will score the own goal

  23. bakayoko

  25. Team Cruel

    Costa or Lukaku > Kane for a hit?

  26. Art Vandelay
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Kane seems to have found his mojo...
