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

    KDB, Zaha, Kane > Alli, Eriksen, Lacazette?

      You know that you don't get their GW1 points?

      ignore them - It's a good move to do as soon as possible

        Kane should have had 2 goals and Zaha looked strong. How is this the right move to go -8 for?

          home to chelsea, who have no pedro, fabregas or cahill and are melting down. kdb clearly the man before the man, as usual, Zaha in brace... come on

          is there a better day to bury a -8?

      • JustPark

      No Kane No Pain.

      Fair play if you went heavy on mids.

      Don't wanna troll but it must be hard spend all summer trying to fit Harry Kane on your team to see him get 1 point out of GW1 and hit the post in extra time.

      1. Az
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years

      2. Four Point Hit
        • 11 Years

        No, because the season is 38 weeks long, not 1.

      Alli scored Kane blanked and that still ended up a bad result for me, rival had bavies 🙁

    6. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Do we think the casuals will do Kane-->Firmino/Lacazette/morata hence causing a price drop?!?!

      1. Podge
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        They'd wanna be very casual

      Not good enough from kane especially as the most expensive player in the game. I wish I had been braver and gone without especially as it's proven he is a slow starter.

      Instead I went with the herd and got him in. Regretting it now bigtime

      12.5M is too much really, so many more cheaper options at better value. Right now thinking of shifting kane but got to decide who to bring in

        So many people pick players because of fear

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

          Kane is absolutely worth 12.5. nothing whatsoever to do with picking out of fear

        38 games in a season. He will haul (probably next week when he is back in London). I don't own him, but he is a top player who will get loads of points.

      That was hurting watching Kane today and Jesus (c) yesterday.
      Now Lukaku's turn to make sure my front 3 all secured 1 point each

        Jesus & Kane have returned me a total of 2 points so far. Lukaku my only hope.
