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.

    Back from behind the sofa

    did that just happen 😀

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Really Kane was awfull

      1. Pariße
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        He didn't really get anything useful to score, but did create a chance for Eriksen.

    2. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Did you expect Kane to score v City?

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah I did actually

        doubted it initially but always thought he would score

      2. niko mate
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Did he miss goal chances?

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      City scoring 3 goals?

      Yeah. Standard from them.

  2. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    RMT said Lukaku > Kane
    FFS Poll said Lukaku > Kane

    Now time for Lukaku to outscore Kane

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah fingers crossed, need something to go right.

    2. justlikehoney
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Looks like going without Salah and Kane is the way forward!

      Sterling looking a good captain option for GW35.

      When are people pressing FH?

      1. Dannyb
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        I'm waiting as a few of my players are going up in price tonight so will hopefully have a bit more dosh to spend.

        1. n-doggg
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          This

        2. The Overthinker
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Won't the price of pre FH change affect irrespective of when you press the button?

        3. Geoff
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Can't you still press FH now to get some players in you want, keeping the ones that are rising, and lose them later in the week?

      2. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Already done it. Brought in Zaha and Firmino and activated it

        1. fr3d
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Firmino dropping in price tonight btw

        2. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Firmino may drop tonight

      3. Kanga roo
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        in 6 hours and 45 minutes time..

      4. Sedemuda
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Didn't read the rules. Just realised I should have just made transfers first before activating it.
        Now lost several risers tonight.

        1. n-doggg
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Who were you bringing in? I assume you mean for 36?

          1. Sedemuda
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            I've activated it which means I've lost rises of Kane etc tonight I think?

      5. slamdunk
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah wait for tonight's price rises/drops etc

      6. CloudSky
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Pressed already but wont transfer out players rising in price that give 0.1 more selling.

    4. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Romelu Lukaku 2 blanks confirmed for next two...this has been the schema

      1. Point-one short
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Fingers crossed.

    5. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Everything about fpl since gw31 has been boring af

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        I know, can't believe how bad fpl has been

      2. Pariße
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        I thought it was just me. Almost everything is settled and nothing special is going on, my focus went completely to NBA and European competitions.

    6. Disco Stu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      How's this for a free hit team next week?

      Pope/Heaton

      TAA/Long/Mustafi/Who Cares/Who Cares
      Sterling/Sane/Salah/Zaha/King(Swansea)
      Auba/Jesus(or Aguero)/Firmino

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        It's too early man. Ask again next week.

    7. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      If you want to warn everyone about the FH chip you simply have to use the famous words of admiral Akbar: It" s a trap!

    8. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      So much money spent on expensive defenders, so few clean sheets and returns in general.
      Doesn't it make sense to downgrade defensive players to throw the money in attacking mids and forwards?

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Perhaps midfield but in comparison to forwards, then not at all. Look at the total points.

      2. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Did Alonso to Long before the deadline

      3. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        I've done that. But they still do crap. Look at Kane today for example.

    9. Football Heaven
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Was getting rid of sterling and Walcott for willian and son last week a good thing?

      1. Andy1
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Currently not. But judge again after the end of the gameweek

    10. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Lamela Eriksen Alli
      Son

      @Brighton ?

      5 goals behind Salah with only one extra game. Time for the unfit Kane to stop being selfish about the Golden Boot and be saved for the FA Cup?

      1. Kanga roo
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        no

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Stop it

        1. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah, Rainer, you're scaring Bemba

      3. _Ninja_
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        He could get a hatty v Brighton though.

      4. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Poch would drag Kane's limp corpse onto the pitch and leave it there rather than bench him

      5. Point-one short
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        No.

      6. Andy1
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        In my dreams.

        Although if poch was to prioritise a trophy, it wouldn't be a bad idea.

        Just don't see it tbh

        1. rrcmc
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          He needs Kane sharp; games will get him there

      7. Point-one short
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        He scored something like 7 goals in the last 3 or 4 games last season.

    11. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I did tell you that City would spank Spurs and Kane wouldn’t get a sniff

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Unfortunately, I havent seen that. 🙁

    12. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I reckon Poch was playing weaker players in this game so he can rest a few of his big guns.

      Against Brighton I don't expect to see any of Lamela, Kane or Dier

      1. Dannyb
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        God I hope so

      2. TallestJohn
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Lamela and Dier 'big guns'? I know Dier is preferred but Wanyama is a better midfielder and Sanchez/Alderweireld are better CBs especially when they play 4 at the back. Lamela clear second choice to Son.

        1. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          You've misread my post

          1. TallestJohn
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Oh I see

      3. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Kane will start

    13. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Outrageous that Eriksen wasn't included in the Scout Picks. Vardy too, for that matter.

      Form was completely ignored.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        A little unreasonable to say in hindsight.

        I will say that I'm surprised Barnes was in over Wood though, considering how good Wood's stats have been.

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          I sad before today's matches. Many others did too... just go back and check!

          Wood's PPG is ridiculous too.

          Lukaku and Sanchez will no doubt be the focus and they can still haul.

          1. Piggs Boson
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            I believe you, fair enough Mr Saltergator - I take it back!

            1. Twisted Saltergater
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 10 months ago

              Perhaps I was stirring a little bit. I'm just a bit fed up with the Kane and Lukaku obsession when they're not having great seasons and/or struggling for 100% fitness.

    14. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      First FH Draft . Views ?

      Pickford

      Kiko mustafi Robertson
      Silva Ramsey Salah Sterling
      Jesus firmino aubameyang

      Ryan PVA lowton king

      1. Andy1
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Good if aguero is still out.

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

        Jesus > Welbeck 🙂

        1. The Overthinker
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          I won't deny, I am tempted

    15. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      still not sure i understand price rises and team value when you free hit

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Me neither.

      2. Duke Silver ☑
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Neither do I. Can't be ar$ed to figure it out either.

      3. Football Heaven
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Your original team will be affected as normal not your fh team

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          So, all the normal price changes take place as if you had not made transfers?

      4. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Go yolo.

        On a serious note, I think there should be a hot topic explaining this

        1. Geoff
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          I would make one.. but I don't really understand either

          1. Geoff
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Ok seems pretty clear actually 😀

      5. justlikehoney
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Your TV changes to that of the free-hit team for a week, i.e. you can get price rises and drops as you normally would but there of course would only be temporary because at the end of the game week your TV restores to that of your normal team.

      6. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Not alot in it. It has no affect on anything over the next week. Make changes as normal. Accept price changes as normal.

        Come next deadline, your team will revert to your gw34, and as if your team was a ghost team during the whole time FH affected

    16. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      WTF Sterling. Sold him and VVD and they get a CS and goal and assist. LONG live DGW. Feck

      1. Kanga roo
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Well that was always going to be a terrible move.

    17. Point-one short
      • 9 Years

      Man Utd better not concede tomorrow.

      1. Syd.

        They won’t

            Hi Rondon. Please stay crap.

        2. arndff_
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          And Lukaku will outscore Kane, right? 🙁

          Mad about not captaining him lol

          Damn

    18. Football Heaven
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Screw it I’m hitting that fh button

      1. Patch
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Do it tomorrow bank your price rises for your permanent team

        Then go loose with your FH team

    19. justlikehoney
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I'm actually glad I don't have my FH chip left. Be a big headache knowing Liverpool and Arsenal players big rotation risks due to midweek European semi-finals means you could end up bringing in players who don't even play.

      1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Pool always leak the lineup and we know Auba and Cech will play for Arsenal

      2. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        I think you’re just trying to make yourself feel better 😉
        Besides, there’s a high chance we know the Pool lineup before the deadline.

        1. justlikehoney
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Look forward to seeing plenty of FH teams with Solanke and Ings then 😉

      3. Ghost Gooner
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Get Auba and Salah at the very least. Get one of Robertson/TAA while making sure you have a playing defender. Triple City, Zaha/Mili or both etc 😆

      4. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Good for you. I'm glad I do have it

    20. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      won't rub the Kane blank in too much because he still has Brighton to play against and that's hat-trick territory

      Romelu hasn't even kicked a ball yet either

    21. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      19/9 having wildcarded out the 3 pool strikers

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Same. And for pure garbage.

      2. Syd.
        • 16 Years

    22. LewanGOALski
      • 14 Years

      Can I bring some player/s in tonight, and activate a FH in 2 days for example?

      1. Paul Psychic Octopus
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        if it works the same way the wc does, then yes

      How do you play the Free Hit Chip ? When I hit the Play Free Hit button on the My Team page I get the message below, but there is no option to continue.

      The Free Hit chip is played when confirming your transfers and can be used once a season.

      It allows you to make unlimited free transfers for a single Gameweek. At the next deadline, your squad is returned to how it was at the start of the Gameweek.

      Please note: Free Hit cannot be cancelled once confirmed.

      1. MTPockets
