The Gameweek begins at Old Trafford and a big clash between Manchester United and Spurs which, in Fantasy terms, has been turned on its head by Harry Kane’s injury.

The striker has been sold by more than 750,000 managers ahead of today’s deadline following the revelation of his absence from this match. Son Heung-min is trusted with leading the Spurs attack in his absence against a Man Utd defence which are yet to concede in a home match.

Jose Mourinho’s tactics will be pivotal to today’s outcome and the potential for Fantasy returns. United have set up to mirror Spurs three-man defence with Eric Bailly returning alongside Phil Jones and Chris Smalling. It remains to be seen if this signals the intention to attack the visitors, promoting the prospects of both Romelu Lukaku and the returning Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

Lukaku goes into this match on the back of successive blanks with his remaining 52.4% ownership desperate for him to produce today with a Gameweek 11 trip to Chelsea up next. The Belgian has been sold by over 314,000 managers ahead of today’s deadline.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Think they’re working on a few things. Should be back to normal later

    Am I the only person who hasn't owned Jones this season?

    😥 😥 😥

      Yes

    2. the snazzy viking
      9 years, 12 days ago

      I haven't either, had Valencia up to GW6, then wildcarded. Was a decision to go for either Maguire or Jones and I went with Maguire...

      No, me too!

      Same here...but i had baily before his injury

    5. pundit of punts
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Bad call.

      You'd have got him in on WC.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 12 days ago

        He seemed to be a permanent injury doubt.

    6. Galza
      9 years, 12 days ago

      I haven’t either..
      Had DeGea all season so can’t really justify both...

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 12 days ago

        I think you can.

        1. Galza
          9 years, 12 days ago

          Maybe.
          Not a fan of 2 at the back from same team.

    7. Holmes
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Cant get him unfortunately due to restrictions...

    8. EMERGING STAR
      9 years, 12 days ago

      What if i say you i have never owned a united defender this season. Never expected united to defend sooo well.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Mourinho has always been about the clean sheets, at all his clubs. Not a surprise.

    9. SuperMario
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Coming in after next week, always seems an injury doubt

  4. MagicMessi
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Seeing people benching jones \Davies...
    The advantage of cheap defence is that you don't have much options so saves the selection headache !
    Jones mee. Mariappa (Naughton. Mbemba)

    1. Holmes
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Mariappa is on bench, so Naughton's negative points incoming

      1. MagicMessi
        9 years, 12 days ago

        I know also have Kane so Naughton is playing anyway :'(

        1. rivercityransom
          9 years, 12 days ago

          doesn't seem like cheap defense is working out for you

    2. Fred54
      9 years, 12 days ago

      United def is essential. Like Jonty said a few weeks back it means you are usually 6+ points behind already.

  5. the Penman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Week 2 of owning Jones, and assuming he gets the 3 bonus, that makes it 5ppg. Can’t complain!

    1. Sánchez
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Same. For Bavies.
      Now got the points and no bavies concerns anymore
      Glad to see back of him

  6. Sánchez
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Can't believe I benched Phil Jones

    For Kane 😎

    1. Yozzer
      9 years, 12 days ago

      I don't consider them dirty points to be fair

      1. Sánchez
        9 years, 12 days ago

        I was actually still hoping for a Kane start. Imagine the egg on my face if he was on the bench and came on

    2. Rainer
      9 years, 12 days ago

      😛 /

    3. Pranav Santhosh
      9 years, 12 days ago

      I benched him for mbemba can I wear cool glasses too 😆

      1. Sánchez
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Not until mbemba stays off the field sorry?

  7. JayBomb

    Thank god Sterling is out of my team!

  8. squ1rrel

    I think my Free Hit team will destroy this week.

    Pope
    Gomez - Bellerin - David Luiz - Otamendi
    Sanchez (c) - Salah - Richarlison - Sane
    Morata - Lacazette

      Looks good on paper, what could possibly go wrong?

      1. squ1rrel

        Lol

    2. Red Dagger ✪

      We both made the right call with Gomez and Moreno it seems! Good luck.

    3. Galza

      Not enough Sterling.. 😉

  9. Karan_G14

    Jones price rise again this week?

    1. Jayv807

      Na, he'll get flagged tomorrow

  10. WVA

    Sterling > Silva for a ft, happy with that.

    DDG...59 points, 5.9 per game. Best mids and forwards at around 60 points. Sold him a few weeks ago...what can I say.

    1. Fred54
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Why T F? I'd try and get him in if my team wasn't burning down every week.

    2. Cok3y5murf
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Well technically, he's played one extra game.

  12. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Anyone else captain kane, sorry I mean richarlison

    1. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO

      Use backspace.

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Richarlison is a mini me Kane

    2. Gt1996

      Richarlison (C) For me!

    3. Desperately Seeking Dusan

      I’m in but have a horrible feeling I’ll look back and say “wtf was I thinking?! It’s Andy Carroll TC all over again”

  13. Litts
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Cheers guys.

    I don't mind captaining defenders when there's nothing sticking out.

    Remember captaining Ashley Cole when he got a a clean sheet and a goal.

    Not having the best of seasons but managed to get Kane captain last week which helped no end.

    Couldn't see anything else sticking out..

    1. nkhoughton
      9 years, 12 days ago

      He's set to get max bonus so 18 points not too bad

      Beyond jesus I don't see anything tbh

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Why would you captain a defender v Spurs. Luck at its finest. Alli converts that chance and you get 2 points. Not worth the risk

      1. COLLIN QUANER
        9 years, 12 days ago

        It is worth the risk because it paid off

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          9 years, 12 days ago

          Not really. An attacking player with goal and assist will always outscore a clean sheet defender and bonus

      2. Litts
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Because Kane wasn't playing, limited options guaranteed to play - looking at you Jesus - and captaining someone who gets no points gets 2 or 3.

        Utd haven't conceded a goal at home this season so took a chance.

        Yeah, Jesus could score a hattrick but I didn't even know if he was going to start...

    3. the snazzy viking
      9 years, 12 days ago

      and then watch Jesus score a hat trick

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Exactly

  14. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Smalling @5.3?

  15. nkhoughton
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Time to sell sterling, Coutinho if back looks like my go to I think

  16. Fuchs Mane Kante
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Jones paying off hits with bonus.

    Nice.

  17. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Choupo is the only player to score against Jones in the PL this season.

  18. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Luckily benched Abraham instead of jones

  19. GlasgowFF
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Looks like my drunken Kane to Aguero transfer was a dud. Had visions of Aguero starting and getting a hatty. Not to be.

    1. Point-one short
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Absinthe?

  20. Ode
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Ville Rönkä captained Salah

    1. KOLASINA(C)
      9 years, 12 days ago

      What's his FPL ID btw?

        1. KOLASINA(C)
          9 years, 12 days ago

          Thanks!

    2. Old Man

      Let's hope he's made a good decision.

    3. Garlana
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Yeh but does he own Jones!?

  21. KOLASINA(C)
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Jones is really heading for that place in the Team of the Season.

  22. KUN+10
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Aguero to come in minute 75
    when the game is MC 3 WB 0 and score a quick brace.

    1. The Royal Robin
      9 years, 12 days ago

      The thing is, I actually think you're right. He'll still score at least a goal.

    2. Sánchez
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Not impossible at all

    3. KUN+10
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Gotta keep the faith

  23. WVA

    Where the fook is Cameron from Stoke?

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Training ground injury.

      1. WVA
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Excellent news, no one on the bench now haha

  24. Shultan
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Biggest regret of season not getting DDG on WC.
    Was 5.5 at the time & is outscoring most 8+mids!

    1. Grounderz
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Had DDG since GW1

      8)

      1. KUN+10
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Keep rubbing in salt on his wounds 😉

  25. THFC4LIFE

    What would be classed as a success when using the free hit chip?

    1. Optic1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Loads of points.

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 12 days ago

      I would say scoring 10-15pts+ more than if you hadn't played it.

      1. how now brown cow
        9 years, 12 days ago

        And being happy with your old team the week after. Not much use of your team is still shagged afterwards.

    3. KUN+10
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Im saving that for a double. You would definetely see how powerful this chip can be.

    4. Own Goal
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Getting a full team out, when there are only 4 games being played, due to FA Cup

  26. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Kun and Sterling may well come on and score. They could get 30mins against a tiring WBA defense. As a Sterling owner, I'm a bit annoyed but not ruling out the chance of points yet.

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 12 days ago

      I own Sterling, Kun and Jesus. Been a nightmare waiting on team sheets

      1. Collie01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Jesus(c) here, so hoping he scores before the inevitable substitution on 60-70mins

        1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
          9 years, 12 days ago

          Maybe Jesus gets injured within twenty mins and the kun show begins

    2. KUN+10
      9 years, 12 days ago

      I definetely see points for Kun and Sterling today

  27. fedolefan
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Come on Bobby! No season is ever complete without you being in my team. Grab that 12 pointer lad.

  28. Ravager
    9 years, 12 days ago

    I didn't expect Kun or Sterling to start tbh. Just didn't want to use a free to get Sterling out...

    Hope he comes on and gets something.

    1. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 12 days ago

      I used a free to get rid and it feels great

      1. Ravager
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Lol can't blame you. I didn't want to use my other free without knowing what would happen with Kane

  29. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Bookmark it, Ota is scoring again this week to punish those who ignore him at their peril

  30. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 12 days ago

    At least WBA got 3 fit centerbacks today, some hope they can hold City early on before the inevitable late City winner
