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 Kane
    Sold Alli for -4

    I need Kun to score a hat trick today

      This
      although I do have Kane 🙂

    Played Ericsson instead of Alli, he's usually the better option at home

    KDB - need to wait on news. May have been ill this week and so only good enough for the bench. The fixtures coming up would suggest that Middlesbrough is the time to rest players:

    Today: Sun (PL)
    Weds: Stoke (PL)
    Sat: 'Boro (FA Cup)
    Tues: Monaco (CL)
    Sat: Liv (PL)

    Would he play Aguero, Sane, Sterling 3 times in a week against 'Boro, Monaco and Liverpool (a rival for Top 4)? I still think 'Boro will be the rotation game.

    I suppose many like me sold ali last gameweek. I sold him for KDB.

    I had a choice between selling ali/eriksen. I thought eriksen had more chance of getting something with corners etc

    Give us a nice lasting memory Kun 🙂

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

      You'll be keeping him when Ibra gets banned

    2. Hooky
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Happy ending would be nice 😉

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

    Have no idea why I didn't do Eriksen to Sterling for a hit, feel like such a fool.

    1. Point-one short
      • 9 Years

      Tottenham have a great run off fixtures coming up...

  7. FISSH

    Ibra nets that penalty yesterday, outlook completely different! Fine margins!

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

      Ya but of late it seems we're on the wrong side of the margin, constant hit after hit

  10. The Left Duke #3
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I should be excited by the Aguero TC and having Sterling but my rivals I'm chasing, have done the same and me transferring Alli and Lukaku out and keeping Eriksen and Ibra is just season defining. This game can be so frustrating 🙁 ......pity party here 😉

  11. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Kun 4 goals sterling 4 assist would be lovely

  12. AA33
      9 years, 3 months ago

      We went mad when we came to know that Aguero is starting

      Imagine what our reaction will be when Aguero scores 😉

    • F4L

        2. George Sillett
          • 10 Years

          71st minute stops talking crap.

        • 10 Years

        I'll be impressed if he reaches 67 mins to be honest

    • Game of Throw_ins
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Kane + Alli today = 25 (incl bps)
      Sold Kane/Alli for Kun/Sterling (-8) Opportunity cost = 33 pts.
      Kun/Sterling can better that in 2 matches.. Fingers crossed.

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Did you TC?

        1. Game of Throw_ins
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Yes

    • 8ball
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Alli owners! Where were you guys when I asked if I should drop Eriksen or Alli?

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

        They were all dropping him too!

      2. MTPockets
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Buying Sterling...

        • InSaneMan-e
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          I kept him, but purely because I was so angry at Phillips I raged transferred him out.
          Moral of the story: Phillips sucks and getting him out will lead to good things

        • HuttonDressedasLahm
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          I was here

            • 11 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            You didn't say much did you? 🙂 Asked the same question 3 times as I was not convinced. Got a 100% keep Eriksen vote.

        • F4L
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          kept Alli 😎

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

        Aaaarghhh
        Ali out for Sane for-4 to fund Kun.
        Kept Erikson.
        Well that didn't work out.

        1. InSaneMan-e
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Many did that though
          And Kun alone could balance it all

      4. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Sold Alli, Firmino and Jesus for Sterling, King (9) and Aguero, no pressure lads

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

          Sold Eriksen for Sane (-4). First part complete with Eriksen 2 pointer. Now for Sane to deliver.

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

          Wow, that is harsh. Took any hits?

          1. FPL Blow-In
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah -4. I included that. I'm on 16-4.

            Have Alonso, Sane, Snodgrass, Sterling and Aguero TC to go though.

      6. Zos93
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        20 points with Sterling (TC), Azpilicueta, Pedro and Costa to go.

        1. Zos93
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          10 points not 20!

        2. InSaneMan-e
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Sterling TC!!!!

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

        Do we think Lukaku may drop this week or will anytime be OK to draft him in?

      8. Numb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Lol, a guy in my mini league sold Kane and Alli this week! 😆

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

          So did massive numbers on here

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

            I doubt that. Just you hear from the ones that did

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

          It all depends what Aguero and Sterling does

        3. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          The guy in my ML sold Zaha Lukaku and Alli for a -8

          He has Firmino Mane and Kane though

        4. Hobolicious
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Too bad I am not in your mini league, as then there would have been two of us...

        5. FPLtfs
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          a lot of people did.

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

        not had dele ali all season ,kick in the love rocks every week...

      10. ChampChomp
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Are many people planning on playing their wildcard GW29? Think it would do my team wonders and allow me to get all my planned transfers done straight away rather than gradually shifting out my deadwood. Once these FA cup ties are played next week, will it be long before re-arranged fixtures are announced does anyone know?

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

          Seriously considering this too. Thinking being able to get the likes of Kane, Sanchez, Erik/Alli in immediately will outweigh the DGW in 37, especially considering alot of teams maybe be rotating by then.

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

        Graeme Souness is the only pundit on Sky that talks any sense

      12. PlayPercentage
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Kane still yellow flagged.
        Get a grip, FPL.

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

        sold alli to kun
        and benched him 🙁

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

          Sold a mid for a forward. Interesting.

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

          lol wut

      14. FPL Maldini
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        A bit of good news...

        The FPL App is still showing Spurs v Palace so some of my friends still think there is a game

        I hope Kane gets transferred in a lot

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          I don't want him going up in price tho

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

          Don't want Kane to rise too much.......

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

        Holding myself pressing the confirm button for Kun -> Llorente at least after city plays, doesn't want Kun to feel betrayed by me

      16. MTPockets
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Going well so far apart from Ibra. And Foster. And McAuley. And Funes Mori. And selling Alli. And -8.
