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.

    Afternoon troops, will Harold get 3 BAPS?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Yes

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

        Thank you Epic.

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

      Not sure. Quite tight IMO.

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

        Who's next to be considered to get 3?

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

          Dembele. Made a lot of passes, winning goal and not many dispossessions

          1. Epic Fail
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Have a look near the bottom of the previous page for workings.

            Thank you Diesel. Didn't he get booked though? I have been drinking quite heavily and talking to some random girls a lot..

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

              No booking. So tight IMO.

                • 9 Years

    Anyone have a good link for Sky Sports News?

    1. Epic Fail

      Modbro

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years

        Mobdro even.

        1. Budweiser
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          I have Mobdro but the channel is offline 🙁

            Mobdro doesn't work through WiFi at times, but through your data plan it should be fine

              • 13 Years

              What does that mean?...how do I do that?

    2. THFC4LIFE

      506 on virgin

  3. GreatCarragherReef
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Looking to next week...
    Siggy, Alonso, Llorente ---> Zaha, Chambers, Ibra (-8)

    Good? Or just do Sanchez and llorente to zaha and ibra for the -4

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

      Just the -4 in my opinion. It depends on whether you want Alonso back later and how much value is tied up on him.

      1. GreatCarragherReef
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        got my wc, bit tied up but not sure i want him- chelsea will win the league before then and alonso certainly then wont be starting every game

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

          I'm hoping for (though not expecting) a United win, so that Chelsea assets remain relevant.

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

      I'm considering the -8 but it's Brunt out not Alonso. Would just do -4 in your case.

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

    I've literally equalled my score for last week already

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

      Did you TC Kane in the end?

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Yep 🙂 48 from 3 this week. 48 from 11 last week. Hopefully 12 from Kane, and that's no less than I hoped for!

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

          Happy days. He'll get 12, could easily have been more!

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Should have TCed him next week instead

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Wow I'm hoping to match mine of 86

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        84 for me last week. 36 from 3 already. Will prob finish on 50.

    3. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      What's your score this week?

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        48 if Kane gets 3 baps

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

    Not a Kane/Lukaku question, but does anyone know why Kone was benched for Sunderland? I thought he was nailed...

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Question invalid. Please get back on the Kane Train or he Lukaku Choo Choo

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

        Damn

  6. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Not happy with Kane's 12 points. Should've been much more. Lukaku will now outscore him and I don't even have him.

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

      you never seen to be happy

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Bus drivers all miserable

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

      Think you told us this already. Like six times. We get it, the universe is against you.

    3. barracuda
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Not happy with 12 pts at this stage of the season??

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

      Think about it like this - even if Lukaku gets a brace he'll only score 2 points more than Kane (C).

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Great way of looking at things

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

  7. Jazz!
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    If Janssen wasn't so bad, Davies would have that assist + 2 baps. Ah well. 😛

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      That shot was going way wide mate.

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        "If Janssen wasn't so bad" 🙂

        1. Les Bleus
          • 14 Years

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years

        Changed it now. 🙂

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

    Step up Lukaku

    (C)

    Hatty incoming

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

      You don't think Heaton will make 10-11 saves?

      1. GreatCarragherReef
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        he will, out of 16 shots

    2. Too Mane Men
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Valid point

  9. Fowler23
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Triple captain Ibra next GW or Alexis GW 36 ?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I'm TCing Ibra, but don't copy me.

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

      See what happens on Monday night but I'd probably hold now for Alexis. Even on the wing them fixtures are very tasty!

  10. Chucky
    • 12 Years

    Bops finals?

    1. Epic Fail

      Mmmm

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

      Nope

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

        good

  11. Skyarm
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    A) Lukaku, Holgate, > Ibra, Gibson
    B) Barnes, Sanchez, Holgate> Ibra, Gibson Zaha

  12. IRBOX ⚽
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    How is a 12 pointer a (c) fail? Can't see Lukaku doing much damage v Burnley

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

      Famous last words.....

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        .. that's coming from Everton fan. Even my grav is the big Belgian!

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      It's relative.
      It's a fail if Lukaku scores a hat tricks.

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Epic fail?

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          The worst kind of fail.

    3. Too Mane Men
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      We'll see about that. He's sheet hot at home right now.

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Only one team (Chelsea) have managed to put more than 2 past Burnley in recent weeks.

    4. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      It isn't, despite what some miserable whingeing Bus Drivers might say.

    5. Clump
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      He's a beast against poor teams at home.

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        But Burnley aren't poor defensively

  13. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    42 from 4, captain played. Happy with that. Now keep quiet Kaku.

  14. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Heaton to Valdez likely for next week.

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

      Hard to sell Heaton after a 10 point haul 😉

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Highly doubt it.

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

      If you still have a WC then Yes.

  15. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    2 of my rivals have Alli C and Erekson. Some nasty points potentially being taken away..?

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

    Robertson master class incoming....

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      What channel is the snooker on? 😛

      1. Jafooli

  17. Chucky

    Lukaku(C) punish those sinners

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

    How will Leicester's legs hold up after midweek CL exploits? Need a big win for palace

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Their legs will be fine. They are professional athletes plus Wes Morgan.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Lol poor Wes.

    2. Tim Canterbury
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Really need to start offloading these Spurs assets...38 from 3 is unacceptable

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

        how did you get 38?

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

          Son (C), Kane and any of Alli, Eriksen or a Spurs defender/Lloris.

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

            baps aren't finalised, won't be 38

      2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I'm trying to fit in Toby, Alli, Eriksen, Son & Kane. FPL Site won't let me do it though, it must be broken.

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

        Yeah useless spurs 🙁

        1. Bazzalona
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Gave Kane TC today.
          DGW aren't always the best.

          1. Bazzalona
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Poxy phone.

    3. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Is selling Alli on my WC 35 a bad idea?

      Think I'd rather have Sanchez Hazard Coutinho Sterling King in midfield

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Taking out any Spurs player right now is mad. Especially for Sterling.

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          From gw 35 onwards, Sterling has:

          mid, CPL, WBA + LEI, wat

          Picking 5 midfielders is so hard with those fixtures from Chelsea, City, Sanchez 2DGW, and good fixtures for Bournemouth and Liverpool...

      2. Ramboros
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I don't think so. City, Chelsea and Arsenal probably have the best last 3 GWs, and they mostly offer value in midfield. It's one of the sacrifices you might have to make.

    4. Tibbs
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Folks with TC/ BB/ WC. What is the rough plan on when to use?

      WC 35
      TC 36 (Sanchez)
      BB 37?

      1. Moose™
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Same plan with u.

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

        Pretty much, though I might TC Ibra next week.

      3. Bazzalona
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Triple captained Kane today.

        Dgws don't always work out better than a single game.

    5. Moose™
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Kane(c) over Lukaku(c) will define my ML season. I am having 30 points lead over my ML rivals as of now.

    6. barracuda
      • 9 Years

      Is Walker in the Baps too?

      1. itwaswritten
        • 9 Years

        Hopefully not.

    7. itwaswritten

      Southampton is so winning vs. Shitty this game.

        Gabbiadini (C).

    8. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I have friend. Should I play him this week ? Or he will not play both games ?

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Play who instead?

    9. Too Mane Men
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Half expecting the seasonal Kevin Mirallas 20 pointer today. Two goals, two assists.

      Should I be happy for not bringing in Kane?

        Always be happy if you have a choice. Why would you choose to not be happy?

        If you have Lukaku (C), probably.
