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.

        It was so flagrant and clear though. Can't see how it can be explained away.

    FFFix actually told me to bench Coleman for tom Carroll -_-

    What do you think the best scenario is here?

    1. diesel001

      1-1 with a Lukaku goal.

      1. rdamjan

    Is Antonio still suspended against Bournemouth or is that his return game?

    1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

      He is back I think

  8. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Barkley had a chance to put big rom in there. Instead chose to take it inside and lose the ball

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      True

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years

      Exactly this, the beast was unleashed

  9. Sim Simma

    Mori looks rattled

    1. Alan_T
      • 9 Years

      Standard

  10. Smoky Johnson
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Think Everton will put one behind Spurs before FT?

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

      Not unless they give Baines and Coleman more protection and push Barkley closer to Lukaku,

      1. Duffy Dunk
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Barkley won't pass to Lukaku even if his life depends on it

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

          Then get Mirallas or Lookman on.

    2. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Could on a counter

  11. Arctic monkeys
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    That was a clear peno denied for Kane

  12. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Coleman getting closer

  13. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Coleman plays ridiculously high up the field. Almost in there

  14. EDEN THE MAN
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku and Kun to Kane and Costa?

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

      Yes.

    2. Conk
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, players with a fixture in the gameweek are overrated

      1. EDEN THE MAN
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry

        *Disclaimer* Next Week.

    3. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Keep Lukaku for the next 2

    Since when did Ashley Williams have a head full of hair??

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years

      Born hairy.

  16. ChampChomp

    9 years, 1 month ago

    Barkley slows the play down almost every time he gets it. Even more frustrating to watch when you own him. Will never make it as a top player unless he develops a brain

    1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He just needs to let go of the ball. I dont think he needs to develop a "brain" so to speak.
      He's shown he can play within a team. Its just consistency. Not ability.

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

        Part of being an intelligent footballer is letting the ball go at the right time. I don't doubt his technical ability at all

        1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I said ability in the terms of What he is able to do. I didn't single out his technical ability.

          I have seen him let go of the ball at intelligent times is my point

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

      They need a proper CAM.

      Siggy would be a great addition...

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

      He has the wrong perception of what he should be. He should be an assister who pops up with the odd goal (like Eriksen) rather than a Bryan Robson type player. If he stopped running with the ball and shooting his performances would improve.

  17. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Need to get Valencia on to support lukaku, so isolated up top

    If I did a -16 would you just Wildcard instead? Means can't do the Wildcard/bench boost combo later....

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      -16 depending on transfers.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        You get nearly half back from playing in blank weeks.

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

      OK up to -12 IMO,do 1 move next week

  19. FPL Puppy

    9 years, 1 month ago

    Eriksen close with a header

    1. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe not THAT close 😆

  20. Jimmy Boy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Alli > Mane
    Zlatan > Kane

    Worth a -4 hit this week? Won't be able to do them over the next two as Kane will rise and Zlatan will fall leaving me with not enough to do it

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

      Surely Kane won't rise as nobody's going to bring him in when he doesn't have a game.

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

        They will. Just like Gabbiadini last week. Called points chasing.

  21. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Robles looks to be in control of what happens around him. Not

  22. Oven Glover

    How long is Danny Rose out for?

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

      3-4weeks

      1. Oven Glover
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        If it had been for longer I would have gotten Davies for sure

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

          Only one march too, I reckon Rose will be back for GW30

    2. Klip Klopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      On soccer am yeaterday he said another 3 weeks

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I think he actually said 3 weeks until he begins training again

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

      I like your thinking 😀

  23. TheBusDriver

    This DGW has already forced me into bad bad decisions. Kun and Sane better make up for it.

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

      Not over yet.....

      A non-Coleman Everton goal would make me feel better though.

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

        Lukaku goal will be much preferred.

    This Christmas Tree formation of Everton is killing my Coleman/Baines prospects;
    Having said that, Everton look good- lots of chances so far

        Saw this coming... FIFA works!

    5. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years

      The only positive thing about Everton is they're down by just 1

    6. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Only turned on at the second half of the first half- saw the highlights at half- not as promising as I had thought. I do have Kane but also Kaku... looks like Everton Blank likely at this point
