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.

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

    Little pea still only 25% to rise....

    If kane blanks again I would imagine he falls before next gw

      gotta think he will become more popular when Haz + Sanchez come back and people sacrifice a pricey striker.

  2. Lone Wolf

    8 years, 7 months ago

    Fabianski, Elliot
    Alonso, Ake, Lowe, Suttner, Mbemba
    Alli, Mane, Pogba, Atsu, Carroll
    Lukaku, Jesus, Chicharito

    1FT, 1.0 itb. Any suggestions guys?
    Ake>6.0?
    Atsu>6.0?
    maybe a hit?

      Ake to Spurs fullback

    2. laplana
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      What a team! Do Ake + Atsu > Jones + Richarlison/Jese

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

        Ake + Atsu > Trippier + Mooy sounds tasty too!

    3. KUNingas
      • 10 Years

      Ake -> Trippier

    4. Lone Wolf

    need kane to get to 12.3 to buy him anychance if he blanks ?

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

      nope

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

      Not before Burnley.

    3. Fantasy Football Friend!
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Not with Burnley at home next week. I doubt he'll even go to 12.4 if I'm honest.

  4. F4L
    • 11 Years

    Eriksen golazoooo happening in the second half

    Harry Kane.

    Proven, nailed-on, top quality FPL striker who has been unlucky not to score in first two games, plays Burnley, Swansea, West Ham, Huddersfield and Bournemouth over the next six games.

    Not starting with Kane might have been smart but that doesn't necessarily mean that selling him now still is.

    Unless other premium options really put their hands up I'll be quite content to watch his price drop if it means fewer people own him. Especially as Lukaku really isn't the be all and end all of captaincy candidates as is.

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

      Kane comes in for me this week 100%

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      All of which is assuming he doesn't score today.

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

      absolutely, post twice....could have easily been 2 goals.

    4. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      If Kaku and Jesus can match him he's not worth the price

      1. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        If you think he isn't a better captaincy option than either over that time, sure, he's not worth it. I'd be very surprised if I hold that opinion over that run of fixtures though. August doesn't last forever. 🙂

        1. sully29
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          In fact I'm not even convinced that Jesus is the best captaincy option within his own team.

          1. Pep bites Kun
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Aguero is

      2. 1314
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        only two matches of the season and yes most of us have Kaku..

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

      good post, he will score in the second half I think - he looks sharp, but is he worth 12.5m long term if Jesus, Lukaku or Aguero and others can match him stride for stride? Not sure.

      Well said Sully.

  6. KUNingas
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Which one for next week

    A) Hegazi (STK) + Monreal (liv)
    B) Trippier (BUR) + Daniels (MCI)

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

      B

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      B for me if a is 4pt hit

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

        No hit

  7. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Kane should just pretend is September. Easy peasy

  8. jam sandwich

    has Mooy's winning goal bps been added yet?

    1. Licious Lizard

      No

  9. Sterling is £11Mill..…

  10. Gooner Kebab

    1. Sailboats

      nope keeping him. Will watch the yc action tho bit disappointed about that. I got the feeling newcastle need to break their cherry and then they will get going. Last time around I'm fairly sure they beat HUD 3-1. There is value in there just have to give it a bit of time

  11. Obi-1 Kenobi-0

    Oh Harry. Free header.

  12. andymck

    • 10 Years

    Foster Elliot
    Kolasinac Daniels Cedric Mee Suttner
    KdB Salah Willian Tadic Carroll
    Kane Lukaku Abraham

    Kola > Trippier is already pencilled in but then I can only get Pogba if I drop KdB or Salah neither of which I particularly want to do. Unless I can get away with going without for a week or if there are better moves to make?

    Poor from Kane, looks like he is starting to believe the August thing himself

  14. Bubz

    If Kane doesn't score today, someone is going to be in for a pasting soon, four goals in a game or something.

  23. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years

    Alli doing much?

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

      Yeah set up a good goal for Kane.

      Too bad fits August so Kane hit the post

    2. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Probably will get sent off later if they are still losing, a kick out at David Luiz perhaps.

    6. Sanchit

      No. Salah is nailed on. He was rested for the CL game which obviously means he's first choice

      kane is a gamble, so you will either come out on top and fail big. You choose
