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.

    3. My Name Is Pepu

    4. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      I assumed Bavies was always gonna start this, could be rested V Palace..

        • 13 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Expecting United to nick one away today.

        At Crystal Palace?

    Half way there! Another half of the same please...

    • 15 Years

    Come on Coutinho, hat-trick minimum today

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Ummmm.....

    2. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Lucky if he plays

    3. SuperMane Returns
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Dial up?

  6. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Does that Alli dive count for successfully tricking the referee, so he can get banned or is that only for penalties?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Not sure if serious

      1. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Quoi?

    2. Meppelfield
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Only penalties and red cards as far as I know, so no, it won't.

    3. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      The ‘simulation rule’ only applies when it has an impact on the game (ie penalty or a player getting sent off)

      So not in this instance

      1. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks.

        1. enrico.palazzo
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          No worries 🙂 Filthy dive nonetheless

    4. TV Hunter
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Nah. Richarlison did dive last week

  7. Viper
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Hold Jones & Davies. Hold!!

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Jinxed

  8. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Why is Lukaku so bad?

    1. Patch
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Perfect goaless first half so lukaku and alli will sxore

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      He has always been bad, he thrives when he receives ample of supplies which only happens against the minnows.

    3. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      He only scores against weaker teams.

      The ultimate Troll

      1. enrico.palazzo
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        I remember only 2 years ago people said the exact opposite where he gets bugger all for the plum fixtures but streaky points for the though games

    4. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      United midfield is the reason

    5. IRBOX âš½
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      He can’t create for himself. Scores tap ins only

  9. Nickofoz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Kane owners that haven't wildcarded yet - planning on hitting the button if he's out for longer than 2 weeks??

    1. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Nah. Next week looks tricky anyway so would prefer to do it during the break.

    2. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Nope, not unless some other major surgery is needed.

  10. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Eriksen playing so deep

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      I think Adele found him

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 9 Years

        Hello?

      2. IRBOX âš½

    I just woke up lads. About to turn on the TV. I'm to expect loads of goals right....?

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      The game hasn't been boring so far, honestly.

    2. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      How about lunch first.

      1. Red Dagger ✪

      • 9 Years

      & playing pretty shite, not everyone can be KDB.

  13. Alan The Llama
    • 16 Years

    Mourinho's Utd reminiscent of watching Brazil in 1970.

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Just with better players

  14. Rainer

  15. GAMBIT

    1. Goat

      We’re you expecting a hattrick?

      1. GAMBIT
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Sold him for Aguero. I'm delighted 🙂

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Yeah been in form now for last 3 GWs

    2. soup natsi
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Good game so far

  17. How is John Moss anywhere near the PL as a referee, let alone a big game like this? Are the current crop of referees really that bad?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, they're all shocking.

      1. Sooner we have video ref the better

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Referring by drones, like to see the players crowd around the ref then...

          1. Jafooli
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            * refereeing

            1. Son is Rising
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 5 months ago

              Way more of this then...
              https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4k76YTAPGuw

          2. Maybe a Robot Wars house robot with a flame-thrower?

            1. Jafooli
              • 14 Years

    2. Guy Demel
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      He’s not done much wrong imo

    3. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      He has been alright I thought... missed Ali’s dive and called play on for an unclean tackle on Matic (I think it was)

  18. JustPark
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    This may come shock for some but Spurs is actually better than Pool. Same attacking pedigree with better defence. They always end up having the best fullbacks for the past few years is a bonus+mystery though.

    1. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Spurs is always a better team

    2. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      How is this a shock?

      1. JustPark
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        For hardcore Pool fans it is.

        1. Red Dagger ✪
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          That would be me and I'm not shocked.

          1. JustPark
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            That's submissive not hardcore.

      2. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Heh.

    3. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      They buy players to fit Poch's system rather than expensive misfits. (sissoko excepted)

    4. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      I'd reverse the two: same defensive pedigree, with a far better attack (especially with Kane).

    5. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      What do you mean the best fullbacks? Didn’t a Liverpool fan from here say they were in fact the ones with the best fullbacks not so long ago?

      1. JustPark
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        You got me there

        1. Pariße
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          😀

  19. Paul
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Boring goalless draw for sure!!

  20. ConorOD97
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Coutinho is injured lads

  21. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    The casuals sold Bavies, the Pro’s carried on reading their newspaper 😉

    1. TheBusDriver
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      lol. Don't cry when he's benched vs Palace next week.

      1. The Mandalorian
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        The bus is late 😉

        1. TheBusDriver

      The pros never had him to start with

    3. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      The cool kids benched him.

      1. The Mandalorian
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        And played Carrol instead

    4. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Vert and Alder are the only certs in the spurs defence.

  22. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Can't see the game. Is Eriksen on set pieces?

    1. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Spurs haven't had many. 1 corner each for Eriksen and Bavies, that's about it really

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Nope, Davies

    3. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Lucky you

      It is cagey bordering on boring

  23. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    😉 s playing well?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Has looked very composed on the call

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 11 Years

        Ball*

  24. wowBOBwow
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Lukaku is just a fancy Shaun Goater. Good finisher but looks like absolute trash 98% of the time.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Racist.

      1. wowBOBwow
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        [adopts David Brent voice]

        Oh is Lukaku black? I hadn't even noticed.

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Best description of him so far - love it!

    3. SuperMane Returns
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      LOLZ

  25. Goat

    Another else on the 0-0 draw at 8/1?

    1. Spurred_On
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      I was on it, changed to u/1.5 goals

      1. Goat
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        9/4 wasn’t it? Should be a winner

  26. Guy Demel
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    There was talk on here of triple united attack.....

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      No there wasn't.

      1. Guy Demel
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Yes there was, GW2-4 was full of it.

        1. Fred54
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          They had clutch fixtures back then.

          A week is a long time in FF these days.

    2. JustPark
      • 10 Years

      That was 9 years ago.

    Hows jones playing?

    1. enrico.palazzo

      Well

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years

      Not very well.

  28. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years

    Anyone else benched Davies?

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Me

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, 1st sub. But I have Kane playing.

    3. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Of course not, best attacking defender this season, when involved

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years

        Thanks captain hindsight.

        1. how now brown cow
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          That's annoyance with myself - not you by the way!

          1. Legomané
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            🙂

            1. Legomané
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 5 months ago

              It's the Alonso situation from last season with a twist - always play but don't be surprised if he doesn't!

        2. Legomané
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          How is that hindsight - I'd have sold him long before I would ever consider benching him in any GW

    4. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Yes for RLC 🙂

  29. davies
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Monreal owners...

    Benching or selling?

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Too many other fires to put out, so he'll survive for at least one week.

    2. IRBOX âš½
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      when?
