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

        Jamie Redknapp tearing into Sunderland defence except for Pickford. Given his propensity to get things wrong is there going to be a Pickford clanger and Sunderland keep it tight?

        Can't decide whether to get Llorente and spoil my big front three structure or not... Would ideally like to have three of Aguero, Costa, Kane, Lukaku for future weeks which means taking Llorente straight back out...

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

          well, ull want Gabs soon

        2. Vinyl78LP
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I've reduced my big front 3 by getting Llorente. Felt too top heavy and ended up with weak 3rd/4th/5th midfielders.

      6. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I'm not greedy. As a Aguero TC I would be very happy with say a goal and 2 bonus pointa, something like 8 points would be lovely. Especially after last year! I do have a very bad feeling about it though I must admit.

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Min 15 points over the two games.

        2. Tshelby

          Feeling the same!

          same, not hard to be Carroll tbh

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

          2 goals over the games is BARE minimum.

          Have faith in Kun, guys.

        6. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Definitely. He just needs to score, the earlier the better to take the pressure off.

        7. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          As Hazard TC'er last season who got 12 last time, I would be happy with anything above that.

        8. Deeney-is-a-god
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I put the TC on Aguero when he got 26 last year. So I want a minimum of 20 points.

      7. AA33
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Amat got more points than Zlatan this week. Fact. 😉

            Just saw the score should took out Lukaku Hazard Alli for SAS city should I stay calm. My rival has Kane on 68pts with no city players. Aguero needs to grab at least 4 in this DGW for ut to pay off. I don't see it happening. The day I'm having I got this feeling Aguero will blank

            1. Speédy
              • 9 Years

              Exact same transfers keeping ibra,huge point loss if it doesn't come off

                Speed I knew Alli would do something. I wished I kept lukaku got rid ibra. Kept Alli got rid hazard for Sane.

              Took out Alli and Lukaku! Ibra gets -1! My rival has Alli, Lukaku and Llorente! Nothing is going my way this season. Going to be my worst league position in over 5 years!!!

            Anyone know what's happened to Negredo? Dropped for Gestede can't be a good sign.

            Worth a hit to switch to Llorente?

            Need Aguero to do well and Sterling not to so I don't regret not doing Eriksen to Sterling for a hit which I still can't believe I didn't do.

            Pre-interview with Pep

            Journalist: Pep, it's the start of a busy period, 5 games in 14 days. Did you take that into account when you made your team selection for today?
            Pep: A little bit... a little bit. I think in the next games we will think more than today, but of course it's a lot of games in short period. But on the other side, it's nice and of course... [have no idea what he says here]
            Journalist: So, for instance, it's that why Kevin De Bruyne is on the bench? Not tactics or form?
            Pep: No no no... but in three days we play another game, in three days another game...[can't really tell what he says here] and he play a lot of games. In the last game for example Yaya and Silva didn't play, so... except the strikers, the last players played a lot of games, especially [can't tell what he says]. Bacary didn't play the last game, so.... Kolarov didn't play the last game, we'll try to make it [something]

            Sorry, but his English is quite bad and you can't always tell what he says. I also wrote this live when his interview was on, so make it what you will. 😆
