Saturday’s action concludes at Wembley Stadium as Tottenham Hotspur entertain Swansea City in the 5.30pm kick-off.

All eyes are on Harry Kane after he scored twice in each of his last two appearances for the north London outfit over the last few days.

Over 20% of FPL managers have handed him the armband this week – second, once again, to Romelu Lukaku’s 30% backers.

Kane was handed the armband by 17 of the top 100 heading into Gameweek 5, while team-mates Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli were selected by nine and seven of that elite group respectively.

All three start along with Heung-Min Son but Mauricio Pochettino sorely disappoints the 345,000+ who drafted in Ben Davies by benching the Welshman against his former side.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    What would you do with this lot?

    Elliot
    Jones, Maguire, Naughton
    Eriksen, Salah, Mkhitaryan, Brady
    Kane, Morata, Firmino

    Foster, Chalobah, Cedric, Dunk.

    2 FT 0.0 ITB

    Thinking Dunk -> Lascelles and roll a transfer, bench Maguire against Liverpool. My other idea is Brady + Cedric -> 4.5 + Kolasinac.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Not a lot wrong with that team, do the Dunk move and roll the transfer

    2. Emmicson

      Leave Brady Alone! you already have Eliot, do cedric to Kola!

      1. I Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Don't have the money. Need to raise 1m to get Kola for Cedric.

  2. Kalou

    Who would you guys lose for Aguero?
    A.Kane
    B.Lacazette
    C.Firmino

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      B or C

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      8 years, 10 months ago

      C if you got the cash

    3. Blanka
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      C. but surely does most damage to rest of your team

    4. Teror
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Lacazette. He's done nothing to suggest that he'll be scoring double figures on the regz and Arsenal almost certainly won't finish higher than 5th.

    5. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      C if you don't want to spend that 3m saving anywhere else in your team

    6. Emmicson
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      B, as I Did Laca to Jesus(c) for a hit this Gameweek, but it backfired via Aguero

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        C will ruin your team so B

      Awful score. Do it.

  5. Ragabolly
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Getting tired of owning Mounie and Danilo, so thinking of a -8 of

    Mounie + Danilo + Eriksen -> Aguero + Jones + Any 4.5 mid

    I know Eriksen is class, but already own Kane and Spurs can be frustrating. Thoughts?

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

      Yeah man

    2. Emmicson
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I will help with the mid Loftus-Cheek

    3. Team Bobcat
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I am in similar predicament and could do a similar (-8) to get in aguero but like you at eriksen cost.

      It diesnt feel right. I can not pull the plug ar eriksen cost.

      I would be more comfortable lising kane for the aguero move. My thoughts only

  6. InvertedWinger
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Quick, someone talk me out of dropping Lukaku for Aguero

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      No.

    2. Twelve years a slave
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Why would you want to be talked out of it

    3. A Team Of James McCleans
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Ownership, rotation, not gonna score a hatty everyweek, you want the player wholl score the next hatty not the last one, save a transfer

      1. A Team Of James McCleans
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Oh and lukaku hasnt played, aguero could pick up a midweek injury

      2. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        City have much better fixtures than United though and Aguero is a better striker than Lukaku. Scoring a hattrick this week doesn't automatically mean Aguero isn't the most likely to get a hattrick in coming weeks too.

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Better fixtures only after the next two.

    4. InvertedWinger
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Alright I feel better. Thank you.

    5. Cok3y5murf

      1. StayoutheSpiceZone
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Aguero better fixtures
        Better player
        Mourinho wants to win
        Pep wants GOALS

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Did Pep tell you that?

            No his defence did - all two of them

    5. Team Bobcat

      Average is 29

  8. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    City went on a run last season around this time for about 6 games they ran over teams playing pretty triangles and went to the top of the league then gameweek 7 happened and Chelsea changed formation and the rest is history.

    1. Kalou
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Then they played Celtic:)

  9. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    City's game against Palace comes after their EFL tie and before games against Shaktar and Chelsea.

    We're all aware that Pep will troll us yet again, right?

  10. Regin

    A) Chica & Miki OUT for Jesus & Atsu.

    Aguero has unsettled me!

    Forster Lossl
    Luiz Hegz Davies Maguire Mbemb
    Salah Eriksen Mkhi Ritchie Cork
    Abraham Morata Kane

    I have 2 freebies, which would you do

    a) Kane Luiz > Aguero Trippier
    b) Kane > Aguero & Save 1T
    c) Morato Luiz > Aguero Another

    1. Team Bobcat
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      There is a long shot way of upgrading abraham to aguero but at a cost of (-8) and losing eriksen which i am not too keen on

      1. Ragabolly
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I am actually thinking of the -8 shot myself to turn Mounie into Aguero and lose Eriksen

        1. Team Bobcat
          • 9 Years

  14. HamezMace
    • 11 Years

    Is Antonio an option, looked good against Huddersfield on Monday, but that's the only game I've seen

  15. Essem
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Best replacement for TAA? Gomez will play next two for Liverpool so he has to go.

    Is Lascelles a good option? Will at least get a price rise out of him...

    1. StayoutheSpiceZone
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Why will
      Gomez play next two?

      1. Essem
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Because Gomez is banned in CL and the game is in Moscow. Away games in PL before and after CL.

    2. Emmicson
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      buy him for points not TV. He is a good buy.
      Me I Have Rangel that I want to sell for him, but I wont becos. I Feel its a waste of my FT.

  16. Twelve years a slave
    • 15 Years

    How was Atsu today, I know he scored but did he play well and look threatening?

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

      Someone who watched the match can tell you more.
      Purely numbers-based:

      Atsu xG: 0.66
      Atsu xA: 0.34
      1 shot, 3 created.

      Not bad for 5.0 🙂

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      1 goal attempt, 3 chances created.

      Joselu's stats are superb.

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

        He's a terrible finisher.

  17. beetlejuice
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Alli (which I brought in just yday) + Chico > David Silva + Firmino/Vardy? (-4)
    Can't downgrade elsewhere.

    Have no City or Pool cover.

  18. Pompel
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Bavies price surprisingly still rising - and I thought the game consisted of approx 4.9m causal knee-jerkers 😕

    1. Sims
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      yes and they saw him on the top of defender's list

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Wouldn't be surprised if some people haven't even noticed he didn't play and just saw a spurs CS

      1. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        😆 must be the explanation

  19. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Which do you prefer guys? One a 4-3-3 and the other 3-4-3 primarily:

    A) 4-3-3

    Foster
    Alonso | Jones | BAVIES | Kolasinac
    Salah | Alli | Atsu
    Kane | Firmino | JESUS

    B) 3-4-3

    Foster
    Alonso | Jones | Kolasinac
    Salah | Alli | T. CARROLL | Atsu
    Kane | Firmino | AGUERO

    Thanks

    1. StayoutheSpiceZone
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      100% option two

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

      I prefer B with a cheaper Chelsea defender than Alonso that allows you to include Bavies as well. Alonso is great but he's overpriced,

    3. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Thanks both, I'm surprised you've both gone for B. Hmm

  20. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Davies may have had a bit of a niggle? Can't se why Poch would have a shuffle at halftime and move Trippier to LB otherwise

    1. Sims
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      don't think he'd have him on the bench at all if that was the case

  21. MTPockets
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Aguero hauls. Kane blanks. People sell .. Lukaku.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Lol

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      To be fair, Lukaku scored the lowest out of those 3 today.

      1. walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        That is not "fair." Language matters.

      2. Dananz
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah he really didn't turn up today. Major disappointment.

      3. Beavis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        This.

    3. fedolefan
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah, this is what's confused me.

    4. @persecuted_by_mods
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I think sometimes it's as simple as the other two are seen as better strikers

      1. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Who also have better fixtures.

    5. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Easy target. These are the people who put Gabbi in their team because he scored 5 goals in 10 games (or something like that) for Southampton once.

      Lukaku, Kane, Aguero, Morata, Jesus, Firmino, Vardy, Lacazette are quality players who will get points. You have to decide whether the money savings which can be spent elsewhere justify going for the cheaper options over the dearer ones.

      1. MTPockets
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Perhaps, and they may prove right selling him. But not my kind of logic.

      Haha this is actually funny !

  22. Humlesnurr

    Hi all! Is Davies out in the cold?

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

      Not even an owner and no, he's not out in the cold.

    2. Dananz
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I would hope it was just a post-CL rest.

    3. Humlesnurr
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I hope so! Would be a shame to loose such a good value defender.

  23. Contegious

    Foster Elliot
    Alonso Bailly Cedric Davies Long
    Salah Eriksen Willian Pogba Cork
    Kane Firmino Quaner

    WC used up.
    Willian+Pogba+Firmino = Gross+Ritchie+Aguero for a -8? Yay or nay

  24. william prunier
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    two options

    A Stephens to Ward & Play Carroll vs WAT

    B Stephens & Dann to Monreal & Ward for -4

    ???

    1. Sims

      -8

    2. HamezMace

      -8

    3. Nascimento

      You're above this, TM.

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

        If question's genuine, then -8. It's early doors - going to be times when you'll want to do more than -8

          To get Aguero in with Kane + Lukaku = -8 probably.

          Don't Wildcard then, just do a bit of surgery.

      Do you feel you have the shape of the season yet? If so, and if there are maybe 6 other useful but less vital changes you'd make, then it's probably a valid wildcard.

      I am tempted for the first time this season. But I just don't feel I have the shape of things yet. So far most of the players I have removed have done well afterwards - Jesus, Firmino, Yoshida for example. What is to say that I wouldn't do that again on wildcard? It's strange to say after 5 weeks but I don't feel I know enough yet.

      City, for example, are a team I really need to get my head around. Jesus has averaged 66 minutes per game so far. Normally that would take an 10.5m player completely out of consideration. Aguero started 4 of 5 games. Can I captain a player where there is up to a 20% risk of a 1-point cameo? And can he be worth 11.4m if I can't captain him? Normally that would be a clear no as well. But maybe City will score so many goals that it changes all the rules.

      There are so many things like that which I have to try to get to grips with right now. And I'm not pulling the wildcard trigger until I have.

      When where you planning on wcing if not this week? -8 Is a lot if you were planning on doing it in a couple of weeks

    top points this week is a genius - he benched Firmino

    1. tafrère
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Looked at his team. And then realised he is a Manchester United fan. LMAO.

      1. More Tragic
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        not that much of a genius, got his keeper wrong.

        😛

  27. Sarri-ball
    • 16 Years

    Better combo with kane

    Jesus/morata or aguero/firminho

  28. Twelve years a slave
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Aguero Lukaku Kane front Three

    It can be done

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Some might say... it MUST be done.

    2. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      With Atsu Carroll Brady RLC Ritchie in midfield? Yeah. It can.

    3. Slam
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Aguero Vardy Kane more realistic

    4. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      It's not that hard. The £5.5m bracket is the only half decent one in midfield.

    5. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Sure, if gross, Atsu, Ritchie continue to outperform, you have only two pricey mids, and only one pricey defender.

    6. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Also with Haz & double Southampton defence:

      Forster, Elliott
      Jones, Cedric, Hegazi, Naughton, Mee
      Hazard, Richie, Groß, Brady, Chalobah
      Kane, Kaku, Kun

    7. Twelve years a slave
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I can do it and still have Salah Eriksen and a decent defence just means playing a 4.5 mid

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        I've already did it.

    8. fedolefan
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yep, just need to to turn Joselu into Kun.

    9. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Better off with Aguero, Morata, Jesus IMO. You can then get Salah, Eriksen, Mkhi in midfield and Alonso, Kola, Davies and Mendy in defence.

      1. Dananz
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        That would be a great team, just about 5 million short...

    10. mir
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Foster / Elliott

      Naughton / Jones / Davies / Mbemba / Simpson

      Atsu / RLC / Carrol / Erikson / Salah

      Lukaku / Kane / Aguero.

      Can get there for a minus 8. Tempting.
      Means losing Joselu, Miki and Alonso.
      Might do it over 2 weeks. And hope only one Aguero rises the once.

    How is it an assist for D.Silva (1rst goal) and not for Tadic ? It looked to me like the exact same situation.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Silva was crossing it across goal which the goalkeeper got a tiny touch on but it still went to its intended target

      Tadic just crossed the ball in and the keeper pushed it so far out, it's obvious tadic's cross would never have reached the attacker without the keepers giant deflection

  30. Sims

    hemed proving to be the best forward less than firmino/vardy range again

    same points as others for a the premium cheap price of 4.9. legend
