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.

    Kane to Jesus is one I am considering

    Even a wc very tempted

      Im doing it ON wc

    2. willl
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I'm thinking of getting him in, surely you can't drop for those fixtures?

    Own Kane, Ramsey, Willian...

    How none of those three managed to score I have no idea. Two hit the post and Ramsey had approximately 500 chances to score.

    🙁

    1. Ryan Naysmith
      • 10 Years

      That Ramsay had so many chances

    realistically Kane owners will keep him for Burnley but will prob not captain him

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      8 years, 11 months ago

      He will drop, maybe even by .2, welcome to the new fpl world

    2. Stokelona
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I think I will captain him, chase my losses

    3. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Keeping and captain in I'd say

    I have taken a 4 point hit this week by doing 2 transfers. If I now decide to play my wildcard, will that eliminate the 4 point hit? Thank you

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Yes

    2. thepeen555

      Yep

    3. SuperMario

      How'd your team go from having just the 2 issues to now needing a wc? 😆

      1. Rawslang
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Good question! I acted last night to catch the Pogba rise, letting Zaha go. It's that frustrating time now where it feels like all the 50/50 options I had preseason have gone the wrong way!! I had a 74 point week last week but looking at 30 this week with KDB to play!!!

  5. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    One more week for Kane. If he bottles it I may have to wildcard in International Break 🙁

  6. More Tragic
    • 10 Years

    lol @ Kane owners

    1. Ryan Naysmith
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Lol we'll still beat you this year

  7. Syd.

    Kane loves August

  8. Football Heaven
    • 9 Years

    There's something about Chelsea that I just hate

    1. The Enlightener
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Spurs fan? 😆

      1. Football Heaven
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        No

  9. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    At least Alonso is on -60%. Won't rise this week

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

      Could easily

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

        Would probably require hits, as most people don't have a 7.0m defender slot sitting around.

  10. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Yeaaaaaah

  11. Why Always Me
    • 12 Years

    Kane brace vs Burnley no doubt so no point removing at this stage

  12. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Love you, Marcos!

  13. Dr Van Nostrand
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Kane 0 - August 12

  14. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years

    Champiooooonssssss

  15. NATSTER
    • 15 Years

    Another 1 point for Harry who showed a good form.

    Hold ?

    1. onionbarje
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Sell so he goes down in price .2, and then i get him for a discount when he starts scoring in September..... But seriously keep him, he'll score soon

    2. ☻ Jon Snow ☻

      Ship

  16. Waxys

    All the casuals looking to transfer out Kane after August while I'm looking to bring him in for the hat tricks 🙂

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah got that a few pages ago.

    2. Goat
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Ok

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      You just transferred in Tripper and he got injured?

  17. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Kun will save us.

  18. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Alonso 3 cards away from a suspension

    Avoid

    1. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Kane too

    2. Guy Demel
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      So is Kane

  19. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    On wildcard. Surely Kane is worth having right? Matter of time when he gets back to back hauls.

  20. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ

    Looks like Kane and the other Spurs players might struggle to settle in to Wembley - at 12.5M I don't know how much longer I'm willing to give him.

    May be an option to switch him out and reassess at a later date. The pairing of Jesus and Eriksen is more appealing to me when compared with KDB and Kane.

  21. arndff_
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Ake, KDB > Alonso, Silva?

    1. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Surely wait until Kdb has played first.

  22. Football Heaven
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Contes treatment of Costa is disgraceful, everyone going on about how they'll struggle. They're missing a bit part player and they have bags of defensive players. First half they spent half the game on the floor

  23. Big Test Icles
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Alonso

  24. Jairzinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    60 all out

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Ban.

      1. Jairzinho
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Captained Kane, benched Foster for Elliot though.

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

      I think I have only 40% of that total!

  25. The Royal Robin
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Headache central.

  26. Costa Nostra
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Stats don't lie. Kane doesn't score in August. Period.

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

      This

    2. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Amazing half of players willfully ignored this

    3. Ibracadabra
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      2 posts in 2 games, plays Burnley next week in August - will score. Burnley shipped 3 at Chelsea against 9/10 men.

      1. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        They shipped 2 but doesn't matter how plum the fixture is Kane always blows it August

  27. Harper_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Are we overlooking Alonso at our peril?

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

      Yes

    2. Ibracadabra
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      There was a nice hot topic or discussion about how at 7M he is way better value spent than Willian at 7M pre season and I agree, don't own either as wasn't sure that a Hazard-less and Costa-less CHE would score well the first few weeks but he looks good again this year. The issue is 0 clean sheets and he won't score a direct free kick each match so he should be a 5-7 goalscorer again this year but will they keep the clean sheets?

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

        Maybe not, but he is even more far forward than he was last season, something which I didn't even think was possible for an FPL defender. He's practically a striker, no joke.

  28. BrockLanders

    Score check: 33 post baps. Danilo left..

    *kills self*

  29. Up the tics
    • 10 Years

    Kolasinac, PVA out
    Alonso, 5.0 in

    for -4? righttt?

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Not convinced

  30. JustPark
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Yep. Ditching Kane plan.Squad would be much balance without him(could have Alonso).

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Each to their own 🙂

      1. JustPark
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        It's affirmative then.

    2. Frozen flying mammoth
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Yea I'm feeling the same but don't want to take a hit, especially given Kane's fixture next week. May give him one more week...

      1. JustPark
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Was planning to have him for Burnley but I'll think I pass now. Eriksen is enough.
