Harry Kane blows hot at Wembley, Manchester City hit four at Feyenoord, and the goals continue to follow Liverpool, but they have to settle for a draw with Sevilla.

Here are the notes from a stirring night of Champions League action.

Spurs look right at home

A Harry Kane double and an opening goal from Son Heung-min earned Spurs a thrilling 3-1 win over Borussia Dortmund that should, finally, curtail the tiresome talk of a ‘Wembley hoodoo’.

It should also spark a huge wave of interest in Kane ahead of the visit of Swansea City for Saturday’s late kick-off.

So far, the majority of the Fantasy Premier League money has been spent on team-mates Ben Davies and Christian Eriksen, making them Gameweek 5’s top two transfers-in.

But Kane’s form is surely now irresistible.

He’s now scored twice as many goals (four) in five days than Swansea have managed all season – great news for those backing Spurs’ assets at both ends of the pitch.

As a result, the transfer take-up of Kane seems to be gathering momentum, with more than 106,000 managers finding the 12.4 required to secure his services.

For now, rotation is not an issue for such a key player at Spurs, but Mauricio Pochettino could break a few hearts elsewhere.

The form of Son, who has started just one league match this season, caught the eye last night.

For those wishing to read into a manager’s substitutions, both Kane and Son were taken off by Pochettino. That could suggest that the latter will figure in Saturday’s clash.

With Dele Alli surely assured of a start against Swansea as he serves a three-match European ban, the Spurs boss may conceivably manage the minutes of the 25.4%-owned Eriksen. Certainly, while we don’t think his start is under threat, a withdrawal around the 70-minute mark – like he did in the Gameweek 4 clash with Everton – could be on the cards.

The full debut of Serge Aurier, playing at right wing-back, also puts pressure on Kieran Trippier, who has started the last three league matches. He will be expected to retain his start for the Swans’ visit but will clearly be under threat from then on.

Pochettino was certainly pleased with Aurier’s showing.

“He was fantastic. I’m very happy with his performance, he showed real quality.”

But the 8.1% of managers who own Jan Vertonghen should have few worries about their man’s forthcoming domestic involvement – the Belgian was sent off for two yellow card offences last night, meaning he’ll miss Spurs’ September 26 trip to Apoel Nicosia.

That match is bookended by Premier League fixtures at West Ham and Huddersfield Town.

A changing of the Guardiola?

Man City saw off Feyenoord 4-0 with almost embarrassing ease – and with 10 of the team that started against Liverpool on Saturday.

John Stones joined the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi at the top of the Champions League scoring charts with two of the goals in Holland, and while that will be a temporary issue, some of Pep Guardiola’s players are currently permanent fixtures in the side.

Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva, who provided two assists last night, Rotterdam goalscorer Gabriel Jesus, Fernandinho and Nicolas Otamendi have started every match thus far this season.

Kyle Walker provided the assist for Sergio Aguero’s excellent second goal in Holland and has started all but the one match he was banned for following his dismissal against Everton, while the Argentinian striker has still managed 286 minutes despite dropping to the bench at Bournemouth.

The perceived wisdom is that Man City assets can’t be trusted to produce for their premium prices because of Pep’s lust for tinkering.

As a result, only four of them are currently owned by 10% or more of FPL managers, whereas Man United, Spurs and Chelsea all have six players in that category.

But there seems to be a core group of players for whom pitch-time is perhaps less of an issue than we might have bargained for.

Rotation, for the top sides, is a matter of course – particularly when the triple whammy of domestic duties, a busy European programme and international call-ups is in play during the early months of the season.

Based on the evidence so far, Man City players are no more, or less, susceptible to this as stars from any other major team.

And Guardiola’s men are increasingly in the richest of form. Unbeaten in five straight matches in all competitions, they’ve dropped points in only one fixture (when reduced to ten men), kept three clean sheets and scored nine goals, without reply, in the last five days alone.

Their next six fixtures include a Gameweek 7 trip to Chelsea. Other than that, it’s wat CRY STO BUR wba – the sort of run likely to increase momentum, not stall it.

Guardiola has already shown a capacity for compromise this campaign, starting both Jesus and Aguero in four of the five matches to date.

The pair have responded with 23 and 21 points respectively, and both were on the scoresheet again in Holland last night.

Not entirely merry across the Mersey

There seem to be two things we can rely on when watching Liverpool so far – Jurgen Klopp will go ballistic on the sidelines every now and then and there will be goals.

Aside from the 1-0 win over Crystal Palace, every other match has produced at least four, with the Reds’ 2-2 draw against Sevilla last night another case in point.

Whether the three-match domestic ban for Sadio Mane changes all that remains to be seen.

He played the majority of the match against the Spaniards and the two obvious contenders for his Premier League place, Philippe Coutinho and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, were given little time to make their respective cases as a result.

Coutinho’s 15-minute cameo merely served to show how rusty spending the summer attempting to move to Barcelona can make you, while Oxlade-Chamberlain’s 89th minute introduction was good for the appearance bonus alone.

Goalscorers Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah again impressed, although the former blotted his copybook by missing a penalty that could put his spot-kick duties in jeopardy.

With skipper Jordan Henderson potentially in the mix to assume that role, it remains to be seen if Firmino surrenders responsibility following Wednesday’s failure. As the second most owned forward in FPL, it would come as a major blow to his Fantasy stock should that be the case.

In defence, Liverpool were the wrong side of generous once again.

Statistically strong but dreadfully prone to individual error, Dejan Lovren made a horrible mess of a regulation clearance to gift Sevilla the lead. Meanwhile, Joe Gomez’s late dismissal for a second yellow card could have a major impact on the Fantasy charms of Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The two young right-backs have alternated starts in the league thus far, with Alexander-Arnold rested last night presumably in preparation for Saturday’s visit by Burnley.

His 4.5 price tag, 2.2% ownership and share of set-piece duties all make the defender an attractive, if risky, proposition for the Reds’ relatively kindly short-term schedule of BUR, lei, new.

But with Gomez now suspended for Liverpool’s second Champions League group match – a long and arduous trip to Spartak Moscow on September 26 – the chances of Alexander-Arnold starting the domestic matches either side of that European encounter now look decidedly slim.

Alberto Moreno, on the opposite flank, had a superb match going forward against Sevilla, capping it with an assist for Firmino’s leveler.

He, too, costs 4.5 and is minimally owned. But having started four of the Reds’ last five matches, he will also struggle to feature in all three of the Leicester/Spartak Moscow/Newcastle matches that precede October’s second international break.

Andrew Robertson could be another to get the nod against Burnley in Gameweek 5.

    Foster (Elliot

    Alonso, Jones, Löwe (Holgate, Long)

    Miki, Alli, Salah, Atsu (Carroll)

    Lukaku,Firmino (C), Morata

    1 FT and 0.0 ITB

    A) Miki, Morata > Kane, Choupo-Moting -4

    B) Alonso, Morata > Kane, Naugton -4

    C) Save and pray Kane doenst go ballistic

    1. MTPockets
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Impossible to advise as depends how much you want Kane.

      1. The Fed
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        Normally I would wait, but because of the way he played yesterday and the fixture and a lot of people captaining him, I really want him in my team.

        1. MTPockets
          9 years, 6 days ago

          I have the same issue (Pogba injury now means -4 for Kane). Still undecided.

    2. Neevesy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Personally I would look at shifting kaku if you really wanted Kane (which u probably do!). hope then Morata matches Kaku's points. You have a good team though.

      1. The Fed
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        Thats a good point, with Pogba out he might struggle, but the ownership is just so high so its super risky.

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 days ago

          Sort of, but I see him getting a lot of sets of 6 points, which Morata can easily cover, and if he doesn't thats just 4 points and Kane is easily capable of getting 13 regularly.

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        This is good advice.

  2. InSaneMan-e
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    If you're on a WC, would you ditch Eriksen for Alli?

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Nope

    2. brixtonBob
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      No, Eriksen is a consistent points and bonus points scorer.

    3. MTPockets
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Probably

    4. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      No

    5. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      No

    6. Neevesy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      either/or for me, they will be on similar points come end of the season. I always think eriksen more consistent but Alli could pop up with the odd mega haul

  3. EL_FENOMENO
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Hemed, Tammy or Joselu ?

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Tammy

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        Andy Carroll 5.9

  4. JJO
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Willian + Gabba to ?
    Would be for hit and have 1,5mil ITB

    1. JJO
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Vardy/Firmino + some 5,5/6 mid?

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        This looks good

        1. JJO
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 days ago

          Thanks
          Worth a hit?
          Just think both Will and Gabb are most likely to be on bench

          1. WE GO FOR IT
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 days ago

            Yeah!

    2. JJO
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Or maybe Alli+Mounie?

      1. Individual
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        Hmm... depends on your team JJO

        I think Mounie is an avoid for now, initial flash but nothing since

        Vardy/Firmino + Gross seeming quite popular at the minute

        1. JJO
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 days ago

          Thanks Individual
          I think it will be like that with all those 5-7mil attacking players
          Especially with players from BRI,HUD,BUR...
          10+points in 1 week and than nothing for next 3,4

          1. Individual
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 6 days ago

            Yeah for sure. It's very much a case of picking a horse and just sticking to it - rightly or wrongly I got in Richarlison GW3 to afford Alonso in and am just sticking with it for now

            If you do go 5.5 just grab one like Choupachup or Gross and hope for the best like you say - fixtures might be king.

  5. MTPockets
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Longer term?

    A) Antonio + Jesus
    B) D.Silva + Morata

    1. thom830g
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      B

    2. HARLEY
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      B

    3. MTPockets
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Thanks

    4. Individual
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Hello mate

      I like B longer term, Jesus seems to be coming off about 60-70 mins a lot (called him Gabbi on speed on the podcast this week!) and Morata with a humdinger of a run of fixtures between GW8-28, plus playing the whole game.

      Dilva you have to hope comes through, though it looks like he's now losing out to KdB in "assisting the assister" roulette.

      Can you afford Mendy/Walker at the back instead?

      1. MTPockets
        9 years, 6 days ago

        Looking for Pogba alternative but thinking ahead (currently have Morata). Silva's not ideal but limited in price to afford Kane. Mci defence not really doable atm with Alonso.

        I'll have a listen to the podcast later, cheers.

        1. Individual
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 days ago

          Cheers MTP!

          Yeah not ideal at all. I have gone for Pedro actually in that price bracket but can see why you'd want the city cover. I have none and am a bit worried - have Richarlison on the other side of it lol hoping he is keen to exemplify why city should sign him

  6. Vernon Anita-Dobson
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Prepared to take a -4 hit to get Eriksson in for Pogba this week, question is, which downgrade do I do to get the 0.9 that I need?

    Ramsey to Choupo
    or
    Bertrand to Simpson (other 4.5 def)
    or
    Kolasinac to Jones

    1. thom830g
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      latter I think

    2. Neevesy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      B or C

  7. Hankkk
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Vardy or Firmino?

    Got Salah as liv-cover

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Forget cover. Who do I think will score more between Vardy and Firmino?

    2. brixtonBob
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Vardy as when he hits form he'll score loads, also guaranteed full game time.

  8. IRBOX ⚽
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Bottomed sorry lads. No frees, 0.4 ITB

    Elliott
    Alonso Davies Jones
    Eriksen Salah Mkhi Brady
    Kane Firmino Chicarito

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Foster Carroll Naughton Mee warming the bench

  9. MHG
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    My team for this week:
    Foster
    Cedric,Jones,Mee
    Carroll, Mkhitaryan, Salah, Alli
    Firmino,Kane, Lukaku

    I have a free trf but plan to role it over - any suggested tweak?
    Thanks

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Can Mee be rotated with anyone decent this week? Away to LIV might not be good for him?

      1. Bald Eagle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        Daniels, they compliment each other pretty well until GW10.

        1. OldBenKenobi
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 days ago

          Well then get him in for Mee and ur sorted

      2. MHG
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        Thanks - good point!
        I have Naughton and injured Mbemba.
        Naughton's fixture at spurs is not easy. I thought Mee could trouble Liverpool on corners.
        The alternative is to use my free trf for maybe Clark.

    2. thom830g
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Solid!

  10. HP.
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Mane and Chicharito to Ritchie and Jesus for free?

  11. Dacra
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    WC done, I feel free as was already on a -8 after Pogba injury..

    Elliott (Foster)
    Kolasinac - Mendy - Alonso - Davies (Hunemeir)
    Moting - Silva - Mkhi (RLC, Obiang)
    Firmino - Kane - Morata

    0.6itb

    Screw midfield.

    Is this foolish?

    1. DR0GBA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      An amazing defence and attack... making me considering it too

    2. rivercityransom
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      very nice

    3. fishnil
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      You would need to get Eriksen/Salah in there. Don't think Silva + Moting will give you anything better than Eriksen + Carroll.

      1. Bald Eagle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        Agree.

    4. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Would be worried about mids.. especially as last season 5 in the midfield was the default option

      1. Dacra
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        Defenders (plaaying as mids) and forwards seem better value to me this season though.

    5. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      You've effectively got 7 midfielders there. I like it, just Silva's minutes would worry me. Carrol instead of Obiang maybe.

      1. BananaMan
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        Ali over Eriksen. Will play more minutes with his CL red card in play.

      2. Dacra
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        Yeah, when Firmino rises, could consider him and Silva to Coutinho and Vardy.

        1. BananaMan
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 6 days ago

          How About a midfield with the cash spread out a bit more;

          Mike - Ayew - Philips - Carroll - Chalobah

  12. thom830g
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Worth taking a hit of -8 to do Lukaku+Willian -> Kane+Silva?

    1. brixtonBob
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      No, especially as Utd home to Everton. Would ditch Willian though.

    2. MTPockets
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Doubt it but can see the appeal

    3. HARLEY
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Yes its worth, Cheers!

  13. BananaMan
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Morning,

    G2G for the Weekend??

    Begovic
    Stones - Cedric - Dawson
    KDB - Myki - Willian - J.W Prowse
    Kane(C) - Lukaku - Hernandez

    Ryan - Mee - Carroll - Laughton

    1 FT Available 0.1 ITB

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      I'm not so sure about Willian. Rest looks good

      1. BananaMan
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        Options to replace him?

    2. Dybala10
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      JWP, Willian, KDB and maybe Begovic/Stones need to be monitored. I would use that transfer personally.

      1. BananaMan
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        Yes they are the ones I have my eye on.
        It's just knowing who to go for?!
        I was considering a WC, not sure if its that drastic?!

  14. Bubz
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Could really do with Loftus Cheek starting this weekend. What's up with him?

    1. Bald Eagle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Sadly presser tomorrow, not fit enough after the injury I believe, planning to play him, too.

    2. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      He is not nearly as good as some would have you believe. And now, he has to catch Woy's eye, on a sinking ship ...

      1. Bubz
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        I'm not too bothered for 4.5m

        1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 6 days ago

          OK. Cork?

          1. Bubz
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 6 days ago

            Not sure I'll have the luxury of a 4.5 ---> 4.5 tranny. I will consider Cork on a WC though!

        2. OldBenKenobi
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 days ago

          Agree. Potentially a great enabler

    3. More Tragic
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Shaved infected pimple on his leg?

    4. makaveli123
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      It will be interesting to see if Hodgson rates him.

  15. Karan_G14
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Stephens to Maguire worth (-4) for the next 3 (hud, LIV, bou)?

    Appreciate your thoughts!

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Prefer your option on the last page.

  16. Rik Waller
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Out of the box idea...

    Need a 6.9m or below mid for 3 weeks or so.

    A - CHOUPO, RITCHIE, etc - cheap safe options

    B - FABREGAS - Risk of being dropped, BUT if he plays just 2/3 matchs I tihnk he'll outscore the cheaper options. Also if he doesn't play I have autosubs coming on

    What would you do? Safe or risky with possible high returns???

    1. BananaMan
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      GAMBLE!!

    2. fishnil

      Mee might be worth playing. Getting some headers in from corners. Carrol has set pieces.

    Guys....

    Quick question - Are injured players e.g. Pogba Protected from Price falls? If so how long for?

    Thanks

      no

    2. MTPockets
      9 years, 6 days ago

      No they're not. Meant to fall more slowly when injured, but that doesn't seem to be happening.

      Lukaku -> Jesus/Morata

      Cedric -> Kolasinac

      Popular enough then.

      Very big part of my Firmino v Joselu/Abhram decision.

      He looked really good v Bournemouth.

  20. DR0GBA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Can anyone please help me with my situation? I'm really struggling to decide if I need to Wildcard or not...

    Elliot (Begovic)
    Kolasinac - Kompany* - Hegazi* - Bertrand (Rosenior)
    Eriksen - Pogba* - Willian* - Ramsey (Carroll)
    Kane - Lukaku (McBurnie)

    *Injured/rotation risks

    I only have 1 FT so I'll have to take a hit to remove the injuries, but that still leaves me with either playing Carroll/Hegazi and having 2 bench fodders who won't play on the bench.

    Any help is very appreciated!

      • 11 Years

  21. JJO
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    So let me phrase it like this
    A) Vardy/Firmino + Chupo Moting

    1. The Cloud
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      A

    9 years, 6 days ago

    1FT, 0.3ITB

    Repost for more input. GTG? Too gutsy to arband Alli?

    Elliot
    Dawson Davies Yoshida
    Willian Ritchie Eriksen Alli(C)
    Benteke Jesus Lukaku(V)

    Forster T.Carroll Mee Hunemeier

    1. HNI
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      PlZ remove willian and benteke...rather have gross and firmino for them

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 days ago

        You reckon that -4 is worth it?

    2. beetlejuice
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      I would do it...as someone who captained Chicarito last week.

    3. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Willian is far from nailed

  27. mad_beer ✅
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    How likely is Pedro Obiang to keep his spot?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Well he scored, so likely I'd say

  28. beetlejuice
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Need more feedbacks on this;

    A-) Willian + Ramsey > Alli + Gros
    B-) Wllian + DDG > Alli + Krul

    I will play Elliot until my WC if it is B.
    Thanks!

    1. bitars
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      i Would go for Eriksen instead of Del Alli

  29. bitars
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 days ago

    Forster, Elliot

    Cedric, Maguire, Jones, Davies, Schindler

    Mane, Dele Alli, Eriksen, Willian, Carrol

    Lukaku, Firmino, Abraham

    1 ft 0,7 itb

    I am thinking of letting Mane go but for who, Salah or Mikhitarian maybee.

    I am also worried about William, do you think hi will start next game?

    Is it worth to take a hit and change Mane, Abraham to Can, Morata or any othert suggestions?

    Are some of you considering 5-2-3 this year?
    I have been playing FPL for 7 years and I have never ad such problems building a team on a WC.

    I think there is a lot of OOP interesting defenders compared to a big lack of interesting 5-8£ option in Midfield.

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 days ago

      Nah, midfield needs at least 3 big hitters.. Alli/Eriksen, Mkhi/Pogba, Salah/Mane, Hazard, Sanchez. Too much talent to ignore there
