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

    A) Alli > Firm in time for GW28, Ibra > Kane for GW29, no hits taken
    B) Alli > Mane and Ibra > Kane for a hit now

    1. Konstaapeli
      • 9 Years

      A

    2. Ha.

      A

    3. Webbinho

      No point getting Kane now. He could get injured in the millwall game, or a red. Not worth the risk, albeit a small one.

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

      A

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

      B is basically a hit for Non playing player.
      Why would you do that?

    6. Whats the Mata?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Does this mean no Sanchez?

  2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    backed Everton at 5/1 (£14), ht/ft Spuds/Everton at 40/1 (£1) and Everton to win from behind at 18/1 (£1).
    If Koeman plays the same way in the second half that's a serious waste of money

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

      I'm on Kane 2 or more goals and spurs to win to nil. Pretty comfortable with that. I've lukaku and Coleman, so pretty sure I'll be collecting.

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        more likely than me. 🙂

    Quick question.

    Which was worst ?

    Ibras elbow,
    Or
    Mings crunch

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years

      Pogba's hair

    2. makaveli123

      Both RC

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

      I still believe the "stamp" was accidental (ish)
      Elbow was awful

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

        No way in hell was that stamp accidental. You can clearly see him looking away purposefully so it looked that way. He knew exactly where his foot was ending up

    Fake Man City team news auto ban please

    1. TheBusDriver

      Aguero benched

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

        Do you hate him more than Kane?

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

          Of course.

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years

            Hope they both tear you a new one 😛

    30 mins until either my heart is broken, or my year is made 😆

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

      There is no way he will be benched if fit. I won't be celebrating until the calls in the net.

      1. DR0GBA
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He's been benched whilst being fit most of the season

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

    Does anyone have a video link for that domino's tv ad with Chris Kamara?

  7. Captain Vantastic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Any chance Kane is restrospectively banned for that celebration with Alli?

      Almost all of us...

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

      378k transfers in yet only .1 rise. Right.

  10. Lawrø
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Do you think it's crazy to save a FT here? 🙂

    Heaton
    Coleman / McAuley / Amat / Brunt
    Mane / Sigurdsson / Carroll / Phillips
    Lukaku

    Pickford / Alonso / Sterling / Kun / Ibra / 1.6m in the bank...

    Thinking 2FT in GW29 could be more beneficial than the points say Mawson will score over Amat...

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

      Could do, or do Sterling to Antonio/Lanzini

      1. Lawrø
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I'm not thrilled about having Lanzini or Antonio in my team after GW28... and quite fancy Sterling against his old club in GW29 worst case scenario... definitely an option though! Cheers mate 🙂

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

      Yes, I'd save it.

      1. Lawrø
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks everyone 😀

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

      Nope

      But I'd include Amat on the bench 😛

      1. Lawrø
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Haha, that's probably fair! 😀

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      See what happens to Ibra.

      1. Lawrø
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Hmmm I really don't know what I'd do in that case

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

      Good point to save FT.
      Mawson hit the post twice in the space of a few seconds yesterday, not much luck with him.

      1. Lawrø
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Great record though, I expect him to be in the goals again before the season ends 🙂

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

      save, though amat to mawson sounds good

      1. Lawrø
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Hope things have been landing buttered side up for you Shoe! 😀

    7. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd be on a -4 at least with that team Lawro.

      1. Lawrø
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Interesting 🙂

        Who would you be removing? Amat and Sterling --> Mawson and King(-4) I presume?

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

    Hopefully Pep is in in a good mood today 🙂

      To be honest, if he got 30 today and 80 on Weds I'd still be ok with that

      1. O Fenomeno
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I'd fancy him to get one if he just got 30 mins today. Then starts on Wed and fills his boots

  16. Latchmere Wave Machine

    Considering getting Kane in after Gwk28, for his dry spell

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years

      TBH I've not got a clue what my front line will look like in a few GWs time

      Luk/Lor Kane/Kun Gabs.

    If I subbed Aguero out last night do I still get his points today?

    1. The Bandit

      Yes but not Wednesdays

      1. Syd.

        What do you mean about Wednesday?

    2. Fergies fledgling

      Yes

    3. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

    Just out of curiosity, who has Aguero TC here?
    I probably would if I hadn't wasted it on a Kane 2 pointer earlier in the season.

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

      Ouch.

  26. Hect.OR 98th
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So pleased that I took a hit to get rid of Benteke for Aguero instead of a straight swap for Kane. Benteke has to be the worst FPL asset I've owned this season. Useless, utterly useless. My selection skills, that is.

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

      I know people that have done Wilson > Origi > Benteke > Rondon..
