Two of the three most popular players in Fantasy Premier League take to the field as Tottenham Hotspur make their way to Newcastle United in the 1.30pm kick-off.

Harry Kane is the main captaincy pick for Sunday’s early fixture. Owned by 37% of FPL managers, he’s been handed the armband by 22% on the back of 7.5 points per match last season.

The Spurs frontman was also runner-up in our Gameweek 1 Captain Poll after netting seven times in his final two away appearances of 2016/17.

Meanwhile, his team-mate Dele Alli is the most owned midfielder in the game, sitting in 38% of squads for the trip to Tyneside.

Both Alli and playmaker Christian Eriksen supplied 6.1 points per match last term and face a defence with just eight clean sheets in 23 home fixtures in the Championship.

Meanwhile, with the Magpies’ fixtures turning kindly next weekend, we get the chance to scout the likes of Matt Ritchie and Dwight Gayle as potential mid-price options for our squads.

Elsewhere, Rob Elliot gets the nod between the posts for the home side – he’s currently the only active 4.0-priced keeper in the game.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

        If he doesn't have an absolute shocker, doesn't get injured or they don't sign a new gk.

      Danilo owners, what is our plan?

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

        Sell, Sell and Sell

      2. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Holding one more week, unless Mendy is declared match fit and likely to start

        1. Jeremy Corbyn
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Do you think he's a straightforward replacement? Danilo looked alright during preseason

          1. The Tinkerman
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Depends on the opposition I think. Mendy looks a better all round player in the few games I've seen from both of them. Don't buy the argument that Sane will start games at wing-back. He can't defend a flank like Danilo can, maybe he starts vs. lesser teams in the future, but not as the full/wing back vs. Everton.

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

        Same as original plan. Hold until Trippier is fit.

      4. Rash
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Hold for 1 week then switch to trippier

        He was going to come back into the team in a few weeks anyway. Whoever owns him didn't get him for today.

    24. Sz21
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Hope he recovers quickly but this is worrying as an owner!

    25. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      At least Dummet owners can look forward to that 1 point.
      If Spurs go wild that might not be a bad score.

      1. Sz21
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Id say any owners have him firmly on the bench.
