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

    Worth doing a WC to catch price rises and improve value?

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah, that's half the point but this can be done at arguably any point in the season.

      Nope. Probs after next gameweek or after GW 7.

      If you want to do that then why not wait until after next week for international break so that you then have 2 weeks for catching rises. A lot more productive?

      Normally the first international break is a better bet because it's longer between the gameweeks, more chance for movement; also, the transfer window will have closed and you'll want Bale in your team 🙂

    Which is better going forward. Team A or B? I would not do until after game tomorrow but B is existing team and A would be WC. Only Foster Pogba and Lukaku in both. No Chelsea in either.

    A
    Foster Myhill
    Maguire Cedric Jones Mawson Mbemba
    Eriksen Mane Pogba Ramsey RLC
    Lukaku Chicharito Jesus

    B
    Foster Elliot
    Kolasinac Ake Bertrand Danilo Long
    KDB Pogba JWP Atsu
    Lukaku Kane Firmino

    Messi has hit the post 3 times and skimmed the bar from a free kick.

        Haha!
        It probably is right now! He has to play with Deulofeu and Alcacer for the next month if Dembele and Coutinho don't sign

    How do I get Pogba and/or Mkhi into this team and do I need to?

    Foster
    Danilo, Kola, Stephens
    KDB, Willian, Ramsey, JWP
    Kane, Lukaku, Firmino

    Elliot, Fraiser, Carroll, Hunemeier

      Similar to me, think it needs a -8 unless you do kolas to 4.5 or get rid of a ST

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        That's a ridiculous post. How does it make sense doing a -8 to bring either of them in?

        Kola to jones
        Willian or Ramsey to pogba

        -4 maximum if your desperate for one of them.

        1. Toast

            • 11 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Ah I thought Willian was 7.5M.

            A temporary fix would be Danilo to Mbemba and Willian/Ramsey to pogba/Mkhi.

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

      Danilo/Kola downgrade and Willian up to miki/pog

      I was wondering on dumping Firmino for a 4.5 and going heavy on mids

    4. Fantasyamateur
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Had the exact same front 8. Already did Ramsey and JWP to Pogba and RLC.. Thinking of just doing a WC to be honest..

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Easy if you sell KDB? If not then sell Kola for a 4.5 and upgrade Willian or Ramsey.

  8. Invincibles

    What to do with this lot?

    Foster Elliot
    Bertrand Cedric ake kolasinac Hun
    Kdb willian atsu tadic Carroll
    Lukaku Kane firmino

    Don't want to miss all the price rises, so best -4/-8?

      Not sure, who you looking at getting rid of

      1. Invincibles
        • 12 Years

        Probably kolasinac and possibly firmino to free up funds, mid is awful Rn

    Last night it was all Pogba

    Tonight it is all Alonso

    Forgot how tedious this site can be with knee jerkers

    1. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Neither are worth it right now. Extenuating circumstance for both.

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

      Alonso, maybe but the United attack, it pains me to say, looks decent

  10. Concrete
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Foster Elliot
    Kolasniac Stephens Lowe Suttner Francis
    KdB Alli Salah Ritchie Carroll
    Lukaku Jesus Rodriguez

    A -8 Francis, KdB, Rod to Trippier, Pogba, Chic
    B -4 KdB, Rod to Pogba, Chic
    C one of the above
    D Save

    KdB needs to go for funds. Risky as he may score points tomorrow but in the long run...

  11. Lucackadoodledoo

    Thoughts on downgrading Kane to Lacazette to upgrade a 5.0 defender to Alonso?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Kane to Jesus ?

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

        Better option in your opinion?

    2. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Nope

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

        I think Alonso will be essential this season

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

      Wouldn't be making that move this gw. Maybe next for free with 2 Ft if it needed to be done

    more twists and turns to come

    after the int break hazard and sanchez are back. How will we fit them in?

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

      Genuinely think this is the hardest season to date. Was certainly the hardest to pick a team preseason. Even more so now

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Indeed

        Arsenal 2 home games v Bournemouth and v W Brom Monday night is scary

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

      Hazard? Get the cheaper attacker next to him - pedro or Willian

      Sanchez is a non entity as far as Im concerned

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

        Good luck with that...

        1. Fred54
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          If he's stuck on the wing, I'm not paying that much just for assists.

        2. HALFSPACE
          • 8 Years

          Right son

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years

        on paper but once hazard fires everyone will want him unfortunately

    3. the axolotl

      17 man squads?

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        they should increase the money with the way the transfer market is going

        1 billion budget, 30 players

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

      If one of them expoldes and continues to deliver, ill swap one of Kane/Lukaku for a good cheaper striker and mid priced mid to one of them, cant build a good team with both of them in it tho imo. But - i cant see them being worth the money honestly.

  14. Viper

    KDB & PVA - > Pogba & Alonso - 4

    Make sense or knees of the jerking variety?

    1. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      PVA looks overpriced but don't move on kdb yet

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

        Yeah I'll wait until tomorrow but I can't help but think Pogba/Alonso looks much better value

        1. n-doggg
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          It does for sure. But even pogba at 8.5 would be good value if he continues so worth giving kdb a few more weeks

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

      Alonso in the long run is worth it, imo

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      PVA has a great fixture next week, Alonso unlikely to score 2 again - he only did it once all of last year. They're good moves, but could you wait a week?

    8 years, 7 months ago

    I've doubled up on MUN defence with DDG and Jones, which hasn't worked out too bad so far but, with Lukaku in there too, I'm a bit frustrated I can't bring in Pogba. With that in mind, do you think Jones - Trippier looks a sound move, with view to getting Pogba in next week? Or just keep rolling with the double MUN defence.

    Not sure about Spurs this season and if they can match the heights of the previous 2 seasons.

    They lost to a very depleted Chelsea side today and were lucky against a very poor Newcastle side last week never looked like scoring until Shelvey got sent off. Lets see how they get on against a stubborn Burnley team

    If I could just upgrade Iwobi to Mkhi without sacrificing any other player, that would be great.

    Thanks
