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.

      Spurs love a 4-0 at home on Saturday lunch time. Think that's 3 in a row now

        Stoke game was a Sunday 1.30 pm kickoff

      Lukaku with just the one goal please

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        That would be one too many for me.

    • Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      We need a chip that doubles the number of player we can choose from one team. Kane, Alli, Eriksen, Vertonghen, Son and Davies would look good in my team.

    • Ravager
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Think I'm WC'ing this week and probably keeping 3 Spurs

      Currently on Walker, Alli and Kane...would you switch that around?

    • Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Any chance Eriksen to get 1 bonus?

      So unlucky not to score or atleast assist one more...

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years

        He deserves it but unlikely

            • 13 Years

            Eriksen, Alli and Kane TC

            No, probably just baps, Son, King and Alli.

    • Bubz

      Hoping for a Lukaku red card as an owner but non captainer. Selling him to Ibra this week anyway

      1. Jay_
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Same.

          Can you imagine any situation where Lukaku puts the effort in required to get a red?

        3 Spurs players just isn't enough

      3. LeicesterA
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I know I probably should be happy but I just wish could have grabbed 7-8 more points in that and he could have.

        ML rivals didn't have him and I went C. It was one of my only chances to bridge at 50+ point gap 🙁

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

          as a ML leader all my rivals went Kane C and i don't even own him, i kept son instead, chuffed to only lose 10-14 odd points with Kaku C in the bag

      4. F4L
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Why didn't that eriksen to kane goal happen? 🙁 12 points missed out on

      5. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        If Pottechino stays. Triple Spurs attack from gw1 onwards

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Nope, they'll be playing at Wembley.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          No chance. 38 away games, I won't have any Spurs player.

        3. MTPockets
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Will be so expensive though.

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

          Boruc made 10 saves, this could have ended 7-0 at least

          1. Alnair
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Yep, this was the most non-captainers/jinxers could've hoped for.

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

          Kane awful defending to allow goal and returns 24 points instead of 10, Jaansen misses sitter and great defending to clear to deny Davies returns. Swap the defending around and Kane gets 10 Davies 12 and finally some luck as it is it's 24 vs 6 instead of 10 vs 12, and 18 point swing.

          1. Whazza

            ? Eriksen was on for 2 at HT, what did Son do in the 2nd half to jump him - Eriksen ran the midfield 2nd half.

          • 14 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          The reason we loaded up on Spurs is that Bournemouth are awful at defending, so why moan about the awful Bournemouth defending?

        14. Sánchez
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          My rival has this unbelievable ability to get returns from almost every single player every week. Really annoying. No idea how I'm still actually keeping up with him.

          1. DA Minnion (Former great)
            • 13 Years

            1. Sánchez
              • 13 Years

            • 14 Years

            Davies on 29 BPS. Most provably would have got the 3 bonus if had assisted there. Gutting.

            40 (-8) from Kane(c), Alli and Son. Will take that.

            Kaku, please blank this week.

              Bavies gave him the ball but Janssen shot and it came back to him, before he scored. No assist!
