A busy Sunday treats us to four fixtures before the final international break of 2017 is upon us.

Up first, we make our way to Wembley as Spurs entertain Crystal Palace in the 12pm kick-off.

With four of the top five squaring up later in the day, all eyes are on Harry Kane against the Eagles.

The Tottenham striker is the number one captain choice for Gameweek 11, selected by 27.6% of Fantasy Premier League managers after bagging a brace in four of his last six league outings.

Dele Alli owners are left frustrated, though, as he misses out through a hamstring injury, while at the back, Ben Davies drops to the bench as Danny Rose is handed a first league start of the season.

Still sitting in 20% of FPL sides, Davies looks set for an exodus over the break – he’s failed to start Tottenham’s last four home league encounters at Wembley.

For the visitors, we get another chance to scout Wilfried Zaha as Roy Hodgson’s side prepare for a fine run of fixtures.

The Ivorian international has scored in two of three appearances since being handed a central role up front upon his return from injury.

Over the next six Gameweeks, Palace have four favourable home matches (EVE STO BOU WAT) allied with trips to Brighton and West Brom.

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

    Palace the real winners today. Looking much better before a good run of games....getting battered today may have hurt them for that run.

    Even tho I have him, if Morata gets two goals, I'll be very annoyed

    Why Kane why?!!!

    Happy with Bavies coming on even as an owner. I'm only one point worse off and I think others may have had a great auto sub coming in

    When you look up bottling in the dictionary a picture of Spurs' crest comes up, how I wish Aguero was someone you could permacaptain, at least you know he'll punish the poor sides in the League if he gets on the pitch

      How have they bottled it? They thrashed real Madrid in the week and winning here

    Someone else said it before but Son really does kill all other spurs attacking assets while someone grabbing a return himself just to twist the knife!

    I'm absolutely livid. Such a meaningless substitution Poch, why would you do that.

    1. boc610
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Its a football match ,1-0 up,fresh legs to defend sl im lead....yep very strange move

      1. Hurricane Gilbert
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Then he should have subbed Bavies on earlier to defend! Just a time-wasting sub.

  8. FlockofSeagulls

    If I didn't have Kane I would have captained Jesus. Dodged that bullet.

    Winning! 😆

    4. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      He had a glowing golden halo around him and angels sang

  17. Rashers

    Captain Kane here. No regrets. It was the right call. He was the standout option.

    These things happen.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        8 years, 6 months ago

        You don't want to burn Poch at the stake? How weird

        1. Rashers
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Ha ha ha. No it's all good.

          Only other option for me was Aguero but the worry of him not starting was not worth it. As I say, Kane at home v Palace is a captaincy that picks itself.

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        No he wasn't. It's not a one off, it's happened 3 times already this season.

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          exactly

          1. Rashers
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Fair enough.

            I would still choose him again to be honest. I guess with Kane it is part fear of what he could do.

      • applebonkers
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        safest option, not standout, salah given that we pretty much knew kane wouldnt get 90 too

        1. Rashers
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          To be honest Salah did not cross my mind. Aguero was my other option but city rotation got the better of me.

    2. CFC96
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Definitely captaining Kane away at arsenal

    3. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      jesus has started every away game this season and look who man city have in their next 2

      Kane should have had one goal today, all son had to do was square it. Such a simple ball

      Massive points swing as kane probably would have ended with 3 baps

      Pretty frustrating for kane cappers that

      1. applebonkers
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        wasn't a simple ball imo, defender was blocking the path of the pass well, would have been a tricky ball to get through

      2. F4L
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Kane wouldn't have got the 3 BPS. But come on, shit like that happens every match, most would have 100+ points if every if, but and maybe came off

    5. Ramboros
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Would've gotten 18 points more if this game was cancelled. Bloody misery.

      1. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        How unfortunate that the game wasn't canceled.

    6. Ups And Downs
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Went against my original plan after warning others that Davies would have a one point cameo and played him, had 9 points on the bench waiting haha.

      Also took Alli in with Kane for a -4 and captained Kane.

      1. InSaneMan-e
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Yea I had alli captain Kane vc. Took a hit to get in Kane but it was for Jesus who isn't starting either

    7. Rainer

      Nice of Poch to give Davies a rest ahead of Wales' WC qualifier later this week.

      Kane u bum 🙁

    9. Sim Simma

      Aguero is going to score a hat-trick today

      1. WINNING!
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        I can go for that!

    10. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Cheers Poch, Ward off the bench for Davies was going to double my points.

    11. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Now watch Kane get transferred out by 500k + and his price not drop once

      1. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, this will happen.

    12. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Should have known Kane was going to blank. Sakho FC doing what he does best.

      1. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Man, I don't understand these manager egos. This is not a hindsight post, but I remember saying at the time that Klopp is stupid to let a little ill-discipline make an example out the best defender in his squad.

    13. Shultan
      • 10 Years

      Curse of the most transferred in continues

    14. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Kane (c). Davies blocking Mee.

      Is there a delete team option. I actually hate this stupid game so much 😆

      1. Digital-Real
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Davies blocked my potential Alonso points.

      2. The Wizard of Ozil
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        I never thought I'd be so happy for Trippier not to play for the same reason.
