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

    Mini-league leader wildcarded this week to get 5 DGW players. One of them is Bravo and he only has 4 starters for next week and 2 of those are Gueye and Schneiderlin

      • 17 Years

      Surprised you are behind this manager in your ML.

        In fairness every move he has made this season has paid off so he well inside the top 10k

        1. Ibracadabra
          • 17 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Wow that must be really an amazing run of moves for someone who doesn't know Caballero is likely first choice in PL and owns two defensive midfielders.

          Lightning in a bottle a la Leicester 15-16 for him....

    How is Barkley still on?

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He made me hate him this game.

  3. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    best possible scenario for me.
    Now Kun!

  4. Arceus
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    McAuley to steal Kun's goals

    1. Mark-O
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Brunt assist given?

  5. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Barkley the waster

  6. The Bandit

    Spent all week deliberating whether to sell Kane or Lukaku, never considered Ibra 😀

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

      It made sense at the time. Can't regret it as it was obvious choice. Could have had 2 or 3 but had a bad bad. Roll with it and move on.

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

        Selling this week to get Lukaku back

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

      I considered it after seeing him lying on the field during the cup final. He was rooted. Just against Bournemouth though, it would been a bad idea, well and all as it worked out but hindsight is overrated

    3. Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Same!

  7. Alexieishere
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Now transferring out Kane instead of Kaku to Kun doesn't seem too bad haha

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

      Same here.

  8. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Dembélé goes off

    Spurs falls to bits

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He's so important

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

    Aguero TC, Kane, Lukaku 😀

    Ibra > Costa GW26 best transfer ever!

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

    Baines pen equaliser? 😛

  11. C_G
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Sold Eriksen for Firm yesterday, quite happy with the decison

  12. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    This just needs a Coleman equaliser

  13. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Baines Corner..promising

  14. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Tottenham showing their loser face?

  15. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Mirallas ..boo

  16. ChelseaGuy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    That'll be enough for me to keep Lukaku at least till DGWs
    Fixture proof

  17. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Lukaku goal very handy , loads sold and kept Ibra , loads with Walker

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

      Yea

  18. Mark-O
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Walker with CS gives me a better projected OR than without CS

    From a Walker and Lukaku owner

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

      Walker ownership lower presumably?

      1. Mark-O
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Both have >30% ownership apparently

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

      A lot more own Spurs defence than Kaku or Mirallas.

      1. Mark-O
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Unity is power

    3. Conk
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      More own Kaku than Spurs def in top 10k, which is the only place it matters

  19. FPL Puppy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Sissoko on
    Eriksen off

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

      Did Eriksen to Sane this week for a hit. Hopefully will payoff. First part complete - Eriksen only getting two points.

    2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      phew got off lightly with eriksen out for -4

  20. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Would we get word on the possible Ibra ban by tomorrow?

  21. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone less than 15pts?

  22. ellboy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Wow, my TC on De Bruyne has proved to be an astute move!

    Also picked up Aguero earlier in the season, when Jesus came in. I genuinely think Pep has single handedly derailed my season.

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nah, you hit the confirm the button

    2. MTPockets
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Harsh

    3. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Barkley is such a player

      1. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Is that what they're called these days ??

    4. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks for nothing Eriksen. Kept you for this game instead of getting Sterling.

      1. Mark-O
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Not your day

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

          And sold Lukaku and kept Ibra.

          1. fedolefan
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Don't beat yourself over keeping Ibra. That had a 15 pointer written all over it.

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

      Got rid of Luaku, kept Ibra, no Kane...

      All on you Aguero

    6. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      What to do with Mirallas?? 2 assists in 2 weeks despite not starting both.

      Surely he's due a start soon? Keep since he has a game in 28?

      1. Mark-O
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Unless you are tight on Budget and don't mind a risk

      2. Ibracadabra
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        of course keep surely you don't have 11 for GW28 and can improve elsewhere.

    7. faux_C
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      So good to see all those cleanies vanish.

    8. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nice pass FM 😆

    9. Mark-O
