White Hart Lane is our first port of call in a Sunday that is set to shape many of our Gameweeks.

As expected, Harry Kane leads the line for the hosts again after shrugging off a minor knock in time to entertain Everton. The Tottenham frontman has been handed the armband by 5.6% of Fantasy Premier League managers on the back of seven goals in his last three home outings.

Five double-figure hauls in seven in front of his own supporters suggests that Christian Eriksen will have a major say in the outcomes of today’s 1.30pm encounter, whilst Dele Alli was back in the goals after Mauricio Pochettino returned to a 3-4-2-1 set-up against Stoke last time out.

Perhaps surprisingly, Romelu Lukaku is also backed by 5.6% for Sunday’s early fixture despite failing to score in each of his last four road trips.

Up against a defence with a single goal against in their previous seven at the Lane, his prospects of points perhaps took a turn for the worse after both Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen recovered from knocks to take their place in an unchanged Spurs XI.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Wanted to get rid of Lukaku over Kane but thought I'd be sensible and keep Lukaku as he has a fixture next week. Seemed like sound logic but paying the price here 🙁

    Right, I'm flipping this into a positive.
    I sold Kane for llorente and they are equal (so far)
    and I sold Lukaku for Aguero (TC).
    Hopefully only 2 points for Lukaku plus the -4 means Aguero only need to score 2 points from 2 games for me to break even 🙂

    Starting to think owning Kane is essential after game week 28...

    Kun > Kane looks so obvious for GW29 now

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah I talked myself into that.

      Part with us on a high Kun!

      Yea

    3. Alexieishere
      • 14 Years

      28 Kun -> Llorente and 29 Rondon -> Kane for me

  9. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Still a chance for Lukaku hatrick.

  10. Pep says
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I wrote close to a dozen comment explains the logic behind keeping Kane over Lukaku this week. He need to come back in 29 anyway, so bringing Lukaku back in 28 is the same thing. 1 out and back in. 2 transfers..

    1. MTPockets
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yes you did (I didn't have him anyway).

      • fiveyears
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I did both out for Ibra and Kun! Such is the way it goes

      • Firminooooo
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        +1

      • Alexieishere
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Not really, I've both and choose Kane because Lukaku has 28, this decision give me 11 at 28 with Kun -> Llorente. That enable me Rondon -> Kane at 29

        Impressive really. He needs to predict what someone will say and reply to it before they even post in order for it to appear on time

      Maddening. The number of people in my MLs who have kept Kane and overlooked Aguero is ridiculous. Or brought him in in the last couple of weeks. Neither make any sense, yet they are being rewarded

      1. andymck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        And that's fpl

      2. O Fenomeno
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yep my ML leader brought Kane in last week and has captained him both weeks

        1. Duffy Dunk
          • 9 Years

          this sucks

      3. Richd
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I don't have Kane. But completely disagree with this.

        They deserve the points for owning Kane and showing faith.

        1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          That's silly. Just because I "keep faith" with a player doesn't mean they deserve points. I've kept the faith with Phillips, and I've been burned.

          1. Hairy Potter
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            You deserve points for the players you have in your team. It's as simple as that.

        2. A Betting Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          I wasn't talking about longer term owners keeping him, that would be acceptable.

          Well anything is acceptable as it's just a game lol, hard to remember at times...

      4. Hairy Potter
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I'm surprised so many people don't have both Kane and Aguero

      5. d3bug

        Brought Kane in gw 12

        It was difficult to see those 3 back to back blanks(gw 15-17) that too when he is your cap but got those big hauls and was my cap in 2 of those

        Best transfer I've made this season! 🙂

      As An Eriksen Lukaku and Coleman owner, this is more painful than getting kicked in the nuts

      Who will be the rotation casualty?

      A) Sterling
      B) Sane
      C) Aguero
      D) nobody

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        D. City will go for the kill.

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Silva.

      3. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        A I think. But hopefully D. This result + Liverpool win are good news as it keeps the pressure on City and so Pep will be slightly more pressured to name a strong team.

    9. Ohhh Shola Ameobi
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Sterling and Sane in for Mane and Alli (-8) not looking as promising now...

    10. Rainer

      I will LOL so much for about 20 seconds if Kun is benched

      1. Alan_T

      Lukaku isn't quite top quality yet but he has to leave this Everton side in the summer

      He needs to be fed and there is a severe lack of quality service up to him especially in away games

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        He doesn't have the attitude or will to go a step higher. Jose seen it.

        1. CABAYE4
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Jose just doesn't like to play anyone under 25 who isn't already a world star.

      2. Sif
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Before today he was level top scorer with Kane and Alexis so can't be that terrible.

      3. CABAYE4
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Only if he's leaving to be first choice centre forward somewhere.

        Back to Chelsea if Costa leaves?

      Aguero was wearing a yellow jacket (like most other players), Nacho did not (was wearing a dark jacket)
