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

      I got criticised for saying you can have Alonso for the same price as Willian. Right to be smug.

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

        You were the person who made me go for 4-4-2 with Alonso instead of 3-5-2 with Willian.

        Thanks for that! 🙂

    I knew Alonso was the only Chelsea coverage I would need. Don't know why I bothered putting Willian in.

    Took out Alonso for a hit. Also got Salah and captained him. Maybe I should quit.

      Elliott, Ritchie, Kane and Willian. Just wildcarded

  19. FPL Daniel

    8 years, 7 months ago

    Getting Kane was poor decision. Even if he scores against Burnley. 1 goal in 3 that is it

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

      Best sell him then

  20. Slam

    When did Kane get a YC?

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

      Pulled Kante back in the build up to goal. Knew it was a YC straight away

    2. thepeen555

      Can't see it in the app

    The commentator said Vicnent Janssen is on for the injured Kieran Trippier. Another injury?

  24. Shirokov(c)

    LOL @ spurs

    LOL @ the haters

    1. Podge

  25. Ibralicious

    Eriksen to rise tonight?

    1. Assisting the assister
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yep think so - looks essential

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

    I know Alonso scored twice but when hazard comes back I still think 7m is too much, especially now his price will rise

  27. jai1212
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    KDB and Kane to Eriksen and Kun

    1. fishnil
      • 11 Years

      Let kdb at least play.

    Selling Alonso last week didn't go well then 😎 😎

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

      Ouch

    2. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      He almost scored last week too.

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

        Needed the funds to get Mkhi in and he was the one to fund that move

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

          Mikhi had two assists. So not that bad.

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

    If it wasn't Wembley Alonso wouldn't had the space and wouldn't score the second goal

  30. Sahil Yadav
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Had dumped Alonso with -4 🙂

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years

      Awesome work

    2. niko mate
      • 9 Years
