After Aaron Mooy fired Huddersfield to victory over Newcastle, we make our way to Wembley as Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea go head-to-head in Sunday’s final fixture.

A victory for Spurs today would set a new club record of 15 successive home league wins, yet their record in competitive matches at Wembley – two wins, one draw and seven losses – is anything but convincing.

Subject to over 164,000 transfers out last week, Harry Kane has now gone 11 Premier League matches in August without finding the net.

Yet Kane was still the second most captained player for Gameweek 2, handed the armband by 526,000+ FPL managers as he looks to recover from last Sunday’s blank at Newcastle.

Both Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli plundered the points at St James’ Park to put Kane in the shade.

They also combined for both goals in the corresponding fixture last season, with Eriksen supplying assists for Alli’s pair of strikes in a 2-0 home win over the champions.

For Chelsea, Alvaro Morata is handed his first start after emerging from the bench to bag a goal and assist in last week’s shock home loss to Burnley.

But there’s no Eden Hazard as he fails to recover from an ankle injury in time for the Wembley encounter.

  2. MOBAFFILIATED

    Can anybody estimate a realistic return date for hazard?

    After the international break?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Maybe even next week.

      In training, played 45 minutes in the week.

  3. Waxys
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Trippier or Davies?

    1. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Both.

      1. Waxys
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I would never do that

        1. The 12th Man
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Both look good. Get one and stick

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            I'm tempted by both too. Maybe next week when we know a little more about Rose and I have another FT

        2. Gashead9
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Tripp

    2. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      If Rose is not coming back, Davies. He shoots much more often, and almost scored 2x already. Seems to take some free kicks, too.

    3. Sharkytect
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Trippier. Just more nailed long term

  4. _Jane
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Benched Courtois so I hope Alonso scores an own goal

  5. Alexis Nonsense
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Have Davies as placeholder for Trippier

    But watching the game, surely Davies is the better asset

    He's got shots on goal every 10 minutes

    1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      It's definitely not worth a transfer at present

    2. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Won't be this way every week

    3. Sharkytect
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah, keep him until trippier is fully up to speed (getting a dangerous cross in every 5 mins) or when rose comes back. Whichever comes first.

      Surely more pressing transfers for now?

  6. Ntchampionees
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Buzzing for (c) Aguero tomorrow

  7. Gazpilicueta
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Vote please!

    which player should I get rid of, to make money for Pogba/Mhki

    A) Willian ( + a second transfer for the extra cash)

    B) KDB ( He hasnt played this week but might play deep and is expensive)

    C) Firmino (Studge is back and firmino less forward)

    D) Kane.......discuss....

    1. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A

    2. Ha.

      A

    3. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      A or C

  8. Pacer.
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone actually watching this game wont be concerned about Spurs attacking players. Even against very stubborn, high quality opposition they look very, very dangerous. There's going to be no shortage of goals from these players

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      yep; Kane Alli coming in for me this GW

    2. bojack
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Eriksen + Kane for me pretty happy with these two 🙂

    3. Alexis Nonsense
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Would you get Eriksen or Alli for midfield coverage?

      I want Alli, but might be persuaded to Eriksen if there is any good arguments for it

      1. Zebras
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Eriksen's set pieces. Alli more likely to get booked

    Whos the sexiest player on your team?

    Mine is Ben foster mmm

    1. Feloh

      Probably Foster for me too.

      After seeing Andre Gray in a vest yesterday I am tempted to get him.in.

        Are you a player linked with a move to Spurs?

    3. Turbolag

      Is it unusual for a player to like fan-art of themselves?

      1. laplana
        • 8 Years

        In the kit of a team he's linked with a move to? Yes.

    5. Jairzinho

  12. PlayPercentage

    Is Alonso still essential this season?
    At times like this, with the prospect of a 15pt haul, that 7.0 price tag doesn't look so bad.

    1. Waxys
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah he's good but I don't want to give up any of my defenders for him

      1. Turbolag
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, feel the same. Fixtures just don't do it for me.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      After he scores against Everton, he'll be named essential.

    3. Gazpilicueta
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      teehee

    4. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      He'll be in my team at some point... just not yet.

    5. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      No, but I'm certainly no planning to sell at the moment

    6. cheekumz
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I transferred him out last night and as glad as I am that i have him for this haul, i don't regret the move at all. I have no doubt he'll be back in my team at some point in the future tho.

      What part of losing 1-0 inspired you to triple up on an attack.
      God forbid two triple ups, say goodbye to max bonus points... And rip to your entire week every time they score 0 or 1 goal.

    I wonder whether Luiz will last the 90 without being dismissed. Looks like he's lost his marbles again.

    1. Waxys
      • 8 Years

      He looks normal to me

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years

        Your normality is skewed. I think you've made that much clear to all.

    Chances of Kane price fall if he blanks?

    Might get him in on WC if he does!

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Guaranteed

    2. Before Burnley at home? no chance

    3. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      0.1 is a small price to pay for 42 points next week

    4. Rover
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Very high if Kun/Jesus scores tomorrow.

    5. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      No way

    6. A Betting Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I think he would go close, already past -50.0

      Would probably depend on Jesus / Aguero tomorrow.

      Don't forget there'll still be plenty of casuals who went Kane over Lukaku.

      Irrelevant anyway as he's scoring today...

  20. Tornado

    Time to ditch ritchie?

    1. My name is an echo
      • 14 Years

      good question but he does have the fixtures and surely there are more pressing issues

    2. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      As soon as you sell him he'll get a free kick

    3. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yes. Has always been a crap Fantasy asset.

  21. Jairzinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Can someone rename this month already so that Kane can score in it?

    1. Football Heaven
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      In fairness that is funny

    2. Ibracadabra
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      He'll score in second half - Spurs will have plenty of chances. Wouldn't be surprised with a 2-2.

    3. Pogtember?

  22. infamousprob
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Is it worth to do kolasinac+danilo -> trippier+bailly (-4p)?

    1. Lone Wolf
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      just kola/danilo>trippier for free

      1. Lone Wolf
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        *if danilo wont start tmrw or will be subbed early than him obv

    2. Ibracadabra
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Long term the latter two are better but I don't love -4 for defenders - can you just do Danilo to Trippier for free this week if Danilo doesn't start tomorrow against Everton...

      1. infamousprob
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        It's always risky to do -4 on defenders. Just wonder if i only do danilo->trippier, is kola gonna drop in price. And can see manu keeping lots of clean sheeets.

    3. Rash
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Danilo needs to go with which ever move you make imo

  23. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    To me, it doesn't really matter if Kane drops in price. Likely I'll keep him for the whole season (pending injury) so it doesn't make much difference.

  24. Football Heaven
    • 9 Years

      Ditch Bertie. Upgrade Ramsey

        Ramsey looked excellent yesterday - good movement into the box, think he'll score more goals than Willian, Mikhi, other similarly priced players with those runs - I can see 8-10 goals.

          You like this team?

        Why on earth drop a defender in a good team with assists and bonus potential and good fixtures all the way through GW12?
        Then again, his other three are super options. Other than a Liverpool mid though there probably isn't anyone worth upgrading Ramsey to with his current mids.

      Heh, I like yours too!

      I'd get Chica over Firmino And Kane over Jesus I think. Then Kola over Bertie

        Bad maths mate

    I really don't want to WC, but I can do this and it looks very tempting - thoughts?

    Foster, Elliot
    Alonso, Trippier, Yoshida, Hegazi, Fernandez
    Mkhi, Pogba, Eriksen, Jese, Chalobah/Carroll
    Lukaku, Jesus, Chicharito.

      not for me

    2. mikess

      Looks great

    3. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yeh this looks good mate, I think I am Wildcarding

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I'm trying to hang on to the break, but I'll likely not afford it then.

      Kane is going te muller someone, very soon

    5. Ibracadabra
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      The danger with WC before transfer window closes is that what if Tripper, Elliot, etc. lose spot. Pogba AND Mikhi seems chasing points/overkill to me same with Chicharito though he is value... not sure what your current team is but not sure if Chicharito OR Pogba will beat 13 and 15 respectively any time soon...

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Currently

        Begovic, Elliot
        Kolasinac, Danilo, Jones, Hegazi, TAA
        De Bruyne, Salah, Mkhi, Jese, Carroll
        Lukaku, Jesus, Abraham

        The WC is definitely a significant upgrade.

        1. Ibracadabra
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Not worth it in my opinion since you already own the likes of Mkhi Hegazi and Jones who would be the types of gems you'd want to add to a WC. And even Jese, etc. I'd save WC and gradually take a -4 or two to bring in your desired transfers. Just my opinion.

          I am in a worse position (own Iwobi, Alexander Arnold and Danilo) and will likely just do a -4 to remove Iwobi and one of the above defenders rather than wildcarding.

            • 13 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            I do agree. It's a decent squad with just a few needing shifting - Begovic, Kol, Danilo, Abraham. I'll hang on until the break.

      Not enough Kane.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I'd be captaining a united player, Kane would weaken my midfield too much.

          Fair enough. Buy a really big sofa 🙂
