We end a marathon day of football at Wembley Stadium which provides a fitting finale as Tottenham Hotspur host champions elect Manchester City.

But it’s not Pep Guardiola’s City that hold the interest for Fantasy managers, as Harry Kane goes into tonight’s contest as the most signed player ahead for Gameweek 34 (255,000+) and wearing just over a million armbands.

Kane’s recent output has been hampered by injury, though having been awarded a controversial goal at Stoke City in Gameweek 33, he still boasts attacking returns in five of his previous starts.

Christian Eriksen has also proved a big draw ahead of this encounter, claiming 158,000 new owners before today’s deadline to edge ahead in the popularity pecking order in the Spurs midfield.

Son Heung-min may just have slipped down that ladder – he is benched today as Erik Lamela gets the nod. The South Korean will therefore likely start the away fixture with Brighton on Tuesday, though only three of his 12 goals this season have come on the road.

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

    That was a pen

    1. grumpyman
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yip. Alli got his ankle raked.

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      No, it was accidental

      1. Werkself
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Accidental doesn't mean no pen.

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          I know, I meant he clearly got the ball first and Alli was behind him so he couldn't see that he was stamping him. That's no penalty

          1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            And Alli is the boy who cried wolf too many times.

              • 12 Years

              Can't argue against you there.

  2. Dr Dream

    Can't be doing with Lamela. Head down, greedy and all about me, me, me....time to bring Son on...Oh...hang on....mmmm....

    1. DON BE ZILLY
      • 8 Years

      It's a wonder he made it past the bench.

    2. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ

      I don't rate him either

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Two of a kind...

    Come on guys, it's just 3̶ ̶p̶o̶i̶n̶t̶s̶, ̶6̶ ̶p̶o̶i̶n̶t̶s̶,̶ 9 points

    1. Point-one short

      TC Kane for you this gw?

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Don't own him.

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Here’s a stumper for you. If Kane’s ‘goal’ (which was later given as a goal) was at the start of a double gameweek like this one, and was awarded on the Thursday, then FPL would award him the goal, right? Because the gameweek is still in play.

    1. The Mastermind
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      They’d wait until the Friday to award it, just to be petty

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      No. Has to be finalised within an hour of the game ending

      1. Jairzinho
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Oh yeah, you’re right!

      2. Rash
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I thought it was an hour after the last game?

    3. Rash
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I think so

    4. MTPockets
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Not a stumper, just the rules.

    5. Tcheco
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Vertonghen is class

    6. Aston-villain
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Do u guys think Son will come on?

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Yes

      2. CloudSky
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        If it stays like this, for sure.

      3. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Insure hope so. But not looking good so far.

      4. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        At 70 mins

      5. Werkself
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Can't believe he didn't come on at 45.

      6. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Not for a while. I'd be very surprised if they changed with this momentum...

      7. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        In about 10 mins

    7. niko mate
      • 9 Years

      Spurs were so robbed in this match

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        You're talking crap.

        1. niko mate
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          You must be blind. City were given penalty for an outside foul. And now Alli was fauled in the box and not given.

          1. GreennRed
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Alli, the fair play ambassador?

            1. Sharkytect
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              Doesn't mean he wasn't fouled

              1. GreennRed
                • 14 Years
                7 years, 11 months ago

                Means he'll get no favours from refs. Karma.

      2. Tcheco
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I feel robbed having to reply to this

      3. DON BE ZILLY
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Seriously?

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Obviously.

      4. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        The object of the game is to score more than your opponent.

      5. CloudSky
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Should be playing with 9.

    8. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      FPL 'Assists' aren't a true measure of assistance. But that's okay, because we don't want a man in the stands making subjective calls about what qualifies as assistance and what doesn't. There's always a payoff when playing a game based on objective measures. But it's better than the alternative.

      1. Mark
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 19 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I don't disagree with you. I'd prefer less assists and just rely on Opta's definition. More assists through Fantasy Assists cause the confusion and lead to complex rules.

        1. Jairzinho
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          What I’d really like is to give assists to penalty scorers, if they also won the penalty. That to me makes no sense, how you can win a penalty and be given an assist, but only if you don’t take the penalty that you’ve won.

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            I agree with this, but you would have to give them a different name to 'assists' in that case. That's already where people get confused and angry, because it's more about the touch before the final touch than it is about assistance

          2. Desperately Seeking Dusan
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Agreed. Totally inconsistent.

        2. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Fair. I like more points opportunities though. Increased excitement, and the best players to choose becomes less obvious because more people are involved in goals. Perhaps an extra points allocation for assist to the assist (1pt) would be agreeable, then follow opta definition for assists.

        3. Clintymints
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          I guess assists like that are here to give credit to players for doing good work and makes the game more competitive for people. Similar to the same way wildcards are added, or chips. It gives people a chance of catching a lead so no one can just copy your team and keep that lead. It makes it a bit more interesting

          If there was less points to go around the game would end up being so boring and flat such as draft. And I'm glad it's the way it is. Even if it works your way or not

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I’d agree if only people on here actually read the rules

      3. Aston-villain
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        The man in the stands makes it closer to a true measure imo

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          True or not, there would be more room for disagreement.

      4. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        We will just simply never have a system that stops arguments

    9. N00B
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      And I thought last gameweek was bad 🙁

    10. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I'm very proud of Kompany's forehead.

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I always preferred City with Kompany and Lescott at the back. Nothing gets through those foreheads

        1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Lescott had a magnificent forehead.

    11. Chucky
      • 12 Years

      Alonso and Mahrez to Kompany and Sterling for free? Have 6 GW 35 players at the moment...

      1. Jafooli

        6 😮

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years

          Get a room, better still a boat and castaway

        Hold off until Friday.

        1. Chucky

      Is Kane any good? Does he offer enough at the highest level? Feel the World cup will give answers.

      1. Rash
        • 8 Years

        Is that a serious question?

      2. diesel001
        • 9 Years

        He's an out-and-out striker. He needs service.

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years

          This

          pmsl. Needs to be more consistent.

      4. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Great goalscorer but not a great all round footballer. Has many weaknesses.

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Waiting for fish

        2. Je suis le chat
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          He's not the quickest, not the best in the air, can look ordinary and not dictate games.

      5. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I've said the same before today. When you watch him what is he actually good at?...He's obviously a great goalscorer but it's impossible to actually see why...other than the fact he's determined to score.

        1. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          *not that he's bad at anything either btw...

        2. Je suis le chat
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          I'm tired of him after last weeks fiasco. It exposed him and I think he knows it. I don't expect much from him in the England shirt this summer.

        3. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years

          Positioning and anticipation is second to none

    13. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Any chance Robertson (30) overtakes Lovren (31) with the final adjustments after the City game to sneak the 1 BP?

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years

        Its been done hasnt it?

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years

          I sometimes find it changes a little bit after the late kick off. Not always though

      2. diesel001

        No

        1. Scapegoat Salah

      For 35, no FH.
      1) Willian, Mahrez > Mili, Dilva
      2) Willian, Vardy > Gundo, Firmino
      3) Willian, Mahrez > Mili, Mane
      4) Willian, Mahrez > Mili, Erikson (despite not playing in 35)

    18. Sailboats

      What’s a good number of players for a non FH team in 35, do we know the averages? Or will there be an article or something

      1. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Something.

      2. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years

        City should field a strong team against Swansea. Not sure about pool.

    24. Tcheco

      City are there for the taking
