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
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Really Kane was awfull

      1. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

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

    2. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Did you expect Kane to score v City?

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Yeah I did actually

        doubted it initially but always thought he would score

      2. niko mate
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Did he miss goal chances?

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      City scoring 3 goals?

      Yeah. Standard from them.

  2. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 days ago

    RMT said Lukaku > Kane
    FFS Poll said Lukaku > Kane

    Now time for Lukaku to outscore Kane

    1. MTPockets
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Yeah fingers crossed, need something to go right.

    2. justlikehoney
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days 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
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 days 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
          8 years, 9 days ago

          This

        2. The Overthinker
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 days 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
          8 years, 9 days 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
        8 years, 9 days ago

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

        1. fr3d
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 9 days ago

          Firmino dropping in price tonight btw

        2. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 days ago

          Firmino may drop tonight

      3. Kanga roo
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        in 6 hours and 45 minutes time..

      4. Sedemuda
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 days 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
          8 years, 9 days ago

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

          1. Sedemuda
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 9 days ago

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

      5. slamdunk
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Yeah wait for tonight's price rises/drops etc

      6. CloudSky
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

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

    4. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

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

      1. Point-one short
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Fingers crossed.

    5. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Everything about fpl since gw31 has been boring af

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

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

      2. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 days 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
      8 years, 9 days 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
        8 years, 9 days ago

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

    7. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days 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
      8 years, 9 days 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
        8 years, 9 days ago

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

      2. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Did Alonso to Long before the deadline

      3. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

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

    9. Football Heaven
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

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

      1. Andy1
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

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

    10. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days 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
        8 years, 9 days ago

        no

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Stop it

        1. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 9 days ago

          Yeah, Rainer, you're scaring Bemba

      3. _Ninja_
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        He could get a hatty v Brighton though.

      4. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 9 days 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
        8 years, 9 days ago

        No.

      6. Andy1
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 9 days 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
          8 years, 9 days ago

          He needs Kane sharp; games will get him there

      7. Point-one short
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

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

    11. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

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

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Unfortunately, I havent seen that. 🙁

    12. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 days 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
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        God I hope so

      2. TallestJohn
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 days 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
          8 years, 9 days ago

          You've misread my post

          1. TallestJohn
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 9 days ago

            Oh I see

      3. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 days ago

        Kane will start

    13. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 days 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
        8 years, 9 days 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
          8 years, 9 days 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
            8 years, 9 days ago

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

            1. Twisted Saltergater
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              8 years, 9 days 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
      8 years, 9 days ago

      First FH Draft . Views ?

      Pickford

      Kiko mustafi Robertson
      Silva Ramsey Salah Sterling
      Jesus firmino aubameyang

      Ryan PVA lowton king

      1. Andy1
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Good if aguero is still out.

      2. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Jesus > Welbeck 🙂

        1. The Overthinker
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 days ago

          I won't deny, I am tempted

    15. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

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

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Me neither.

      2. Duke Silver ☑
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

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

      3. Football Heaven
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

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

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 9 days ago

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

      4. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 days 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
          8 years, 9 days ago

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

          1. Geoff
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 9 days ago

            Ok seems pretty clear actually 😀

      5. justlikehoney
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 days 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
        8 years, 9 days 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
      8 years, 9 days 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
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Well that was always going to be a terrible move.

    17. Point-one short

      Man Utd better not concede tomorrow.

      1. Syd.

        2. arndff_
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 9 days ago

          And Lukaku will outscore Kane, right? 🙁

          Mad about not captaining him lol

          Damn

    18. Football Heaven
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

      Screw it I’m hitting that fh button

      1. Patch
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Do it tomorrow bank your price rises for your permanent team

        Then go loose with your FH team

    19. justlikehoney
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days 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
        8 years, 9 days ago

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

      2. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 9 days 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
          8 years, 9 days ago

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

      3. Ghost Gooner
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 9 days 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
        8 years, 9 days ago

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

    20. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 days 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
      8 years, 9 days ago

      19/9 having wildcarded out the 3 pool strikers

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 9 days ago

        Same. And for pure garbage.

      2. Syd.

    22. LewanGOALski
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 days ago

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

      1. Paul Psychic Octopus
        • 15 Years

        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.
