The Gameweek begins with what could be the key fixture as Spurs – the major source of Fantasy talent right now – host Bournemouth at White Hart Lane.

Over the past week, Fantasy managers have doubtless been scrambling to fill their three Spurs slots, with the focus switching to their buoyant attack.

Despite Dele Alli’s recent successes – with five goals in his last six Gameweeks – Harry Kane returns up front and now becomes the headline act.

Owned by just 13.2% of FPL managers ahead of today’s encounter, Kane is unlikely to remain such a differential in the coming Gameweeks, providing us with an early opportunity to cash in.

Meanwhile, in defence, Kyle Walker makes his return at right-back with an unfortunate Kieran Trippier making way. Walker was the most sold defender heading into today’s deadline, shedding 98,000+ owners but is still part of more than 33.9% of squads.

For Bournemouth, Josh King is undoubtedly the major threat. He’ll likely feature on many FPL benches today, although having already returned goals at Old Trafford and Anfield, he appears to have the fixture proof status to punish such a decision.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    As a 20 year old (I have no memory of the United side of 99) I can't think of a team with such chemistry as this Spurs team, I mean look at the smiles on their faces. They're playing brilliantly and actually seem to be enjoying themselves

      they've got smiles on their faces because their not under any pressure, no CL and 7 points behind the league leaders.

      99 side overrated , Arsenal through away double after dominating cup semi , Bayern the CL after owning first 89 mins

      1. william prunier

        It wasn't Fergies best side, but still a class nucleus

        Can a team who only lost 4 games across all competitions really be considered overrated?

      You make a good point though Spurs are playing with great exuberance.

      Keegan's Newcastle team enjoyed themselves as well.

    Why didn't Alderweireld not get the assist for the first goal? Didn't he get a touch en route to Dembele?

    1. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      No. He flicked at it but didn't seem to get a touch on the ball.

      He's looking decent to get assists. I think it's a matter of couple of matches and he'll be on fire.

  9. Gaz Downright

    Did you catch David Villa's goal last night?

    1. Rainer

      Yes, has the GK be done for match fixing yet?

    5. Somalion

      Yeah.

      He said he hit it because he wasn't bothered running any more 😀

      Nathan Blake didn't.

    Inter 2 - 1 Milan, last five minutes should be on fire. If anyone is interested.

    who gets substituted first...Kane or Son?

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Alli

  12. Dele
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Kane will score in the second half. They'll push early on for the third.

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Sadly as a non owner I agree , may well score more than the 1

  13. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Going well so far for Non Kane owners 🙂

    1. BobBradleysOpportunity
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      i wouldn't say that, he's now in a position where any goal and he's on max baps and 12 points...

      1. Leaf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        This

      2. Dele
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        This

        One goal or two would be nice

      3. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Getting a goal looks unlikely though...

        1. Lizard Lips
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Looks massively likely to me. Soo many chances being created he's bound to get his lion share next half and take them, variance innit.

      4. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        This, could easily get 16 points and 32 for (c), if not more.

      5. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Depends - some people took out Eriksen for -4 or -8 to bring in Kane. He needs 2 goals and an assist minimum to repay them.

        1. BobBradleysOpportunity
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          depends whether they captained

  14. hannibalos
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Toby and my team needs a break. Give him the assist for the first goal. He touched it

    1. columbo
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Think it will change, clearly got a touch

      1. Annie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        You are deluded

        1. Annie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          I've just seen a new angle in slow motion. He didn't touch it

        2. hannibalos
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          No need for that. I cant be 100% sure but I saw the replay a few times (although none of them was from the back) and it seemed he toughed the ball. This season he has been really unlucky and I believe he should find some luck. For me the assist is his although not 100% sure

          1. Annie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            I've seen the one from the back on sky at hald time

            1. hannibalos
              • 16 Years
              8 years, 11 months ago

              So no Toby assist mate? I have not watched the reply from the back. COSMOTE TV here in Greece have not shown it yet. If you have watched it then I take your word for it. Cheers

              1. hannibalos
                • 16 Years

        Biggest deflection ever.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      3. Pasqualinho
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I think 'clearly' is stretching it a bit. Somebody might have got a touch, but after a few viewings not even that is clear.

  15. The Mandalorian

    Kane looks in trouble, I need to ring his mum.

  16. Lizard Lips

    Reckon Kane gets at least 2 goals or assists second half, at least 1 goal or assist guaranteed though, bookmark this....

    1. Holmes

        May you be right!

  17. dark91
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    So Kane, Alli and Son scored 47 goals this season, while Manchester United scored 46 in total !!!

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Remove Ibra from that too 😛

    2. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      AND spurs have conceded fewer goals

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        It's almost like Spurs are higher in the table than them or something

        1. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Spurs are the only team to have conceded fewer than United.
          Point is that they don't sacrifice defending in pursuit of more goals à la City, Liverpool.

    3. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Woah

  18. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Harry Kane captainers will be proper sweating it out. And it will be the really bad type of sweat, like world of warcraft player sweat.
    They will all need showers after this game

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I'm non owner doing the same

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Haha. Yeah. Lukaku could punish us if he doesn't get at least a goal.

    3. Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Why? He's bound to get 3+ chances next half and will probably net 2 and maybe add an assist too. The way Spurs are playing Kane (c) will be buzzing right now.

    4. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      An assist is all I want from my captain, anything more is bonus... Job done by Kane, he can now relax.

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        U wont say that if Lukaku scores a bagful 🙂

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Nah, I got my Luka pts last week, so its fine even if he do well, Luka wasnt on my captaincy list this week, so no regrets... 😛

      2. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        So much this, the fact he'll get a goal or 2 imo means captainers will be buzzing right now.

    5. MTPockets
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Definitely not like world of warcraft player sweat.
        Do you quote from star trek?

      • Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        He's doing me absolutely fine. Brought him in and (c) as a block in my ML to preserve my lead.

        I don't really care how many pts he gets because he did his job before he even kicked a ball.

      Pickford Valdes

      Walker Alonso Rojo Mawson Amat

      Alli Son Alexis De Roon Sane

      Aguero Lukaku Origi

      Aguero to Ibra feels like a no brainer for me

      is anything else worth a -4?

        He'll be in set piece heaven today.

        McAuley could be on for a Alonso type haul!

      Kane or Lukaku..whoever is outperformed today makes way for Ibra's DGW next week

        . Becuase whwoeber scores more this week will score more next week...Stare logic. Kane the better player arguably the better fixture and plays for the better team. If u don't have a wc lukaku has to go do u understand what in saying to you right now?
