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

    Chelsea can't seem to slow the pace down. Spurs just come straight back at you.

    Better 5.5 mid than Mooy? If there isnt one thats fine 😉

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

      He's the standout at this point

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

      None I think. But I'm not sure the extra million over Chalobah, Cork, RLC and Carroll buys you enough extra points

    Big thanks to all those that talked me out of selling Alonso

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

    can you imagine an Alonso brace?! wow i think i would jizz my pants.

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

      tissues at the ready

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

        Tissues useless at that point. Straight in the neighbour's bin.

    2. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years

      My season would be over

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

      Again?

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

      I sold him before his brace last season. I need this!

  5. OldBenKenobi
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    As an Alonso and Kane owner I think I need Spurs to blank

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

      A Kane goal is worth more to you

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

      Better for it to stay like this than Kane get 10+ points. I'm in the same boat as you. People will have him captained.

    I'm still considering selling alonso to create funds for lacazette to kane with my 2FTs this week

    Daft or sensible?

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

      Would be sensible I think if you had unlimited transfers, but seems like a waste otherwise to me. Is there no other way to get Kane? Lacazette is underrated here I think. Arsenal have a good chance attacking against Liverpool and Bournemouth

    2. Meltens
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Sanchez might play against Liverpool, in which case we will see a conpletely different Arsenal. I might just give at another week.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

  8. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    This lot withou Kaku?

    Foster Elliott

    Alonso Trippier Jones Yosh Cedric

    Erik KDB Mhki

    Kane Jesus

    Bench is junk and KDB can be Haz when back

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

      Kaku > Jesus downgrade a defender

      1. Albrightondknight

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years

      They won't play the champions every week

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years

      Ridiculous post, and unfoundedly smug.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

    3. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years

    5. Meltens
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'm on 25 with Eriksen and Jesus left, sometimes that's just the way it goes. Sucks though!

    Kane blanks are you
    A) Selling
    B) keeping
    C) wildcarding

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

      Keeping, obviously. Burnley (H) next.

    2. LC1
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Keeping for Burnley at home then if he blanks again its bye bye.

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

      D) Buying. I own Jesus and was also thinking of Jesus->Kane for GW3.

    4. FPL Daniel

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

      E) Captaining.

      He isn't playing like someone who will keep blanking.

    6. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Keeping but Lukaku C.

    7. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Keep no question. (C) all year- well most weeks.

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

  12. Syd.

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

      I think not

  13. GE
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Tempted to do DeBruyne and Jesus -> Pogba and Kane (-4) next week.

    But probably crazy...?

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

      Wait and see of course, but Kane is on fire!

    2. Red20
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      My plan was always to get Kane GW3.. This August thing can't be real, right?!

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

        Brace incoming against Burnley..

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

    Please EVERYONE sell Kane 🙂

  15. Pylons

    Question,

    the announcer on the Spurs game mentioned the size of the Wembley pitch and said that Spurs could not change the size due to a Premier League rule.

    Does anyone know what this rule is? And why it exists?

    Cheers.

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      They can change it, but not to WHL measurements.

    2. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Has to be a minimum certain size unless Stadium won't allow that like White Heart Lane for example.

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

        Thanks Netley and Red.
        It makes sense on the minimum size, Wembley is likely already at that minimum.

  16. diesel001

    Why isn't a Spurs comeback on? Chelsea hemmed in.

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

      Chelsea doing what Chelsea do

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

    Is this too risky for a pre gw 4 wildcard?

    Foster Elliott
    Hegazi long Rangel stones TAA
    Alli eriksen Pogba mkhitaryan Carroll
    Lukaku Kane Calvert-lewin

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      That defence is rank. Sorry

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

        Fair I'm just frustrated so wanted triple Utd and spurs attack. I've just realised it actually sucks

        1. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Try this lose Alli to Junk and go 5 at the back. See what you can have.

  18. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Son to save the day?

  19. banskt
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    How is Alli playing?

  20. OldBenKenobi
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Seriously considering Hegazi but nit sure if he is nailed. I assume he fairly nailed now? Right?

  21. Guy Demel
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Was waiting on that piece of analysis from Jamie Redknapp before making my GW3 plans.

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

    Bakayoko sucks

  23. Win'dian
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Is it the first time a PL match is played on neutral venue? ☺️

  24. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    My players from today
    Ritchie
    Mounie
    Willian
    Kane

    1. LC1
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yep same.. not going good is it.

  25. *sigh*
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Right now I'd take an Alonso clean sheet and consequently thousands selling my captain v Burnley next week.

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

      As a Jesus captainer I agree. Although a Spurs goal could open up the floodgates

  26. Red20
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Courtois has 2 save points already. Obviously busy!

  27. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Think this needs an Eriksen or Kane long shot.

  28. Permian23
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Kane goals are IMMINENT

    1. Red20
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Next week. Hopefully not until then.

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

    Remember that we have cup games midweek when you will make early transfers.

    spurs are lacking pace
