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.

    2. Spurred_On
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Eriksen has 10??? For me he's been one of our worst players, keeps giving the ball away

      Probably best to do a RMT when there isn’t a match on.

      But not bad

    What has pep made man city in over a year and what is mourinho doing at united ..
    United are literally defending at home , with 7 men behind .
    How can u not play attacking football at home , u r MAN UTD mourinho .
    Poch didnt come here and change the system to nullify united .
    Mourinho changed the system to a back 5 to nullify spurs at home .

    Sad to be a united fan 🙁

      9 years, 12 days ago

      That pattern's lasted longer than those managers, tbf. LVG and Moyes turned United into a dour team, and aside from that spell at the start of the season with Pogba et al it hasn't really improved since. City were great to watch under Pellegrini a lot of the time too.

  12. SuperMane Returns

    Beavis 3 Baps please.

    1. Bubz

      What about Butthead?

      1. SuperMane Returns

        He's in the Home team technical area.

  13. Live Lad
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Daniels not going to drop? Who would sell him now with those fixtures?

    1. Guy Demel
      9 years, 12 days ago

      He’s coming in for Alonso for me barring any injuries this week.

    2. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 12 days ago

      He's at -100.6 on FPLStats now. I'm hoping he drops overnight, want to bring him in for Kola after this weekend.

  14. Duffy Dunk
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Let's see..
    Who do you feel Pep will start?
    A) Aguero
    B) Jesus
    C) both
    D) none

    1. SuperMane Returns
      9 years, 12 days ago

      E)Kinkladze

    2. squ1rrel
      9 years, 12 days ago

      I don't even want to try.

    3. Rainer
      9 years, 12 days ago

      D - Bernardo false 9

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Think both

    5. Hooky
      9 years, 12 days ago

      B

    6. Siggy in the Middle
      9 years, 12 days ago

      D. Claudio “Good with his feet” Bravo will be a False 9, playing in Foden who'll partner him.

    7. Scout Pics
      9 years, 12 days ago

      D

    8. Duffy Dunk
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Logic suggests B..

    9. ZaZaZu
      9 years, 12 days ago

      I'm pretty confident Aguero and Jesus will start. I've got both, but with Pep it is less clear cut. I think this is his preferred lineup but with Sane and Sterling on form, he obviously has options.

  15. Rainer
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Is that Lukaku up front for United?

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

      50-60%

    2. Duffy Dunk
      9 years, 12 days ago

      20

    3. Hooky

      50

    4. LarryDuff
      9 years, 12 days ago

      32.4737262% if i was to guess

        Good guess Larry

      2. FC Hakkebøf

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

      20-25% at this stage I guess

    6. tambourineman
      9 years, 12 days ago

      33.1% according to FPL Discovery sample of 20,000 teams

    7. Scout Pics
      9 years, 12 days ago

      How many teams captained Kane or Lukaku?

    8. FC Hakkebøf
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Kind of sad so many people gives up

      1. Duffy Dunk
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Some of them in my ML too. That doesn't stop their teams from getting fortunate returns out of nowhere though.

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

      Overall it’s 66.9% active teams accourding to FPL Discovery

  20. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Lukaku doesnt do enough, should be a massive nuisance bullying the defenders but instead he's static waiting for the ball to come to him

    So easy to defend against and it's clear why he has a crap record against top teams

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      9 years, 12 days ago

      We saw that at Everton as well. Not a shocker imo. He is so stationary

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm

  23. Sims

    Lukaku seems to mark the opposing defenders rather than the other way round
