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

    No problem with selling Alli, the alternative was Mane who also plays next week. 🙂

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

      This. Someone had to be out. Iam glad it was not Mane.

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

    Thank God I didn't listen to those telling me to ship alli for Sterling. Sterling still play so I could end up eating a humble pie though

    feels weird still having xi left to play (counting Captain as 2)

    My midfield prior to the City game:

    Alli Firmino Mane 5.8m 4.6m.

    Had to remove one of these to get a City mid.

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      4.6m

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

        Hah, yeah. So make up 3 million for a City mid and make up 3 million for Kun. Reckon I could have got that from my defense?

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

    With my season this is set to end in tears and Kun with a limp 🙁

  10. Lav
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else sell Alli for -4 and keep Eriksen?

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

      plenty.. bad luck

    2. Zos93
      • 9 Years

      Me!

    3. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years

    4. Yome
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I sold both for sane and sterling

    5. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years

      Yes you're definitely not alone

  11. purple.emu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I went -8
    Mane would have got me 13
    Alli would have got me 12
    Kane would have got me 13

    46 points down with the 3 city clowns to come!

    I hate this game!!!

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

      Mane was a weird one as he plays 28.. and Kane at home after a 3+1 performance?

      Tough luck anyway but there were always risks

    2. Stokelona
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Oh god, I know how you feel!

    3. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      selling mane was a bit short sighted given gw28 blanks

    4. mcrayeps

      @_@

  12. AA33
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sold Alli and Lukaku 🙁

      Hopefully SAS can better that 🙂

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

    • Zos93
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Alli to Sterling for a minus four and kept Ericsson. Triple captained Sterling though so there's still hope.

    • F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Does KDB being benched make people worry about the false 9 being deployed on Wednesday?

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

        No, Yaya be rested.

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          that's what im hoping, Kun pens as well then

      2. MTPockets

          Wednesday shmednesday...

      3. Mattymo23

        9 years, 1 month ago

        Felt awful with 10 minutes to go having got rid of Kane. Thankfully still own Barkley, Alli, and Lukaku so got away with it

      4. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Lukaku 》Aguero was a given.

        But annoyingly didn't have to do Alli 》Sterling to fund it and thought hard because it would cost me 8 points in hits. Sterling won't even come close to paying us back. Hey ho.

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

          Way the season has gone, Fred 🙁

        2. Ha.
          • 10 Years

          Same boat

        3. thisisdiz
          • 11 Years

          Same

      5. Mic
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Sane Aguero Sterling for -8, with Alli and Lukaku out. TC Aguero. Season defining stuff.

        Oops!

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

          Its Ibra's fault for being undroppable before Bournemouth at home 🙁

      7. boc610
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Unless sterling and kun run seriously wild then that's a waste of a tc chip if you just got rid of Kane/Luk +Ali

      8. Danstoke82

        9 years, 1 month ago

        Happy Kane and Kaku owner. Not so much owning Coleman though.

        Sadly sold Alli for Sterling for the DGW.

        1. Point-one short
          • 9 Years

          Yeah same here - I expect a lot did that move.

      11. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Alli better option now than Eriksen?

        1. Winston.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Nope

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years

            10 in 11, you seem sure

        2. Whazza
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Not according to the member tool.. he is a much bigger goal threat though which might outweight that

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

          Now? Been since December

      12. AverageJoe
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Sold Mane for Ibra 🙁

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Ouch

        2. Whazza
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          But how?

        After GW 28...

        A. Eriksen and Llorente
        B. King and Costa

        Would you prefer A or B of these?
        Thanks.

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

          B

      14. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        With the hit I will use to get him back in, selling Lukaku for Aguero over Ibra will cost me 12points + £0.3m value lost. Such a cruel game.

      15. CloudSky
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        So it was supposed to be Eriksen and Ibra, not Alli and Lukaku. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Over to you Kun, crush the nonbelievers.

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

        Need 22 points from Aguero/Sterling to break even after that.

      17. GXNG
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        When will we be certain whether or not ibra got a ban?

        1. Whazza

        Top 10k Big Dogs up 16 points so far today. That's why they're in the top 10k
