Gameweek 36 comes to its conclusion as Spurs welcome Watford to Wembley in Monday’s 8pm kick-off.

After Mohamed Salah’s rare blank on Saturday, Harry Kane has the chance to shake up the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) standings tonight.

The second top captain pick (17.84%) for this round of fixtures, Kane was handed the armband by 54 of the top 100 managers heading into Gameweek 36.

He was also the most bought player, earning 241,000 new owners, and is again the top transfer in as the north London side prepare for Double Gameweek 37 clashes against West Brom and Newcastle.

Yet his form is hardly prolific, with just a single goal scored over his last six league outings.

By comparison, the Spurs midfield have been far more reliable.

Christian Eriksen and Son Heung-min have both scored four times over the same period, while Dele Alli has netted on three occasions and also supplied a trio of assists.

The Dane is the most captained of that trio, with 84,608 FPL managers backing him with the armband.

Son could be the big differential. Handed the captaincy by just 32,917 FPL managers, the South Korean international has averaged seven points per home match this season.

Furthermore, he served up two goals and an assist in the corresponding fixture with the Hornets last term.

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

      Vert to raise on baps...no deductions for him

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

        1 deduction.

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

          Any deductions for Alli?

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

            3. Cancels out the winning goal BPS.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 10 months ago

              Why?

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

                3 (winning goal) - 3 (deductions) = 0 (cancels out)

                Quick maffs.

                1. Samwise the Brave
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 14 Years
                  7 years, 10 months ago

                  I mean what deductions. I'm not that well versed in the baps details

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

                    He lost the ball to being tackled/disposed 3 times today. This deduction takes place after the game.

                      Thanks, not the news I wanted but appreciated none the less

      disgusting

  2. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    As a Kane and vert owner that's pretty much the perfect result! Roll on DGW37

    1. JabbaWookiee
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Would’ve been even more perfect if Vertonghen hadn’t hit the post or Kane hadn't fluffed the rebound. Spurs were shameful tonight.

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

        Vertonghen goal would have been glorious.

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

      Apart from Vert hitting the post, Kane missing the follow up.

      Vert playing Kane through who scores but strays offside.

      I have both players and very frustrated!

    3. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I'm pretty happy as rival captained Kane and rival had Davies and son. Could have been far worse. Didn't see the game as entertaining the in-laws...

      1. DJ1000
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        I am very happy. Had Alli and Kane. Kane didn’t score big

  3. #FPLBhuna
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Son to get baps for winning goal?

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Kane*

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Keep trying.

      2. Dirty Harry
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Try again. Alli.

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

      no

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      They normally give it to the guy who scored the winner.

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

        😮

      2. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Its so confusing..why even call it winning goal?

        1. Ron_Swanson
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          should be the most recent goal which resulted in the lead being taken

  4. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Do Milner > Vertonghen tonight before the rise?

    1. Differentiator

      nah

        cheers, bring on the doubles

          Can't wait mate!

  6. Silecro
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Alli, Son(c) and Vert owner, sort of mixed feelings

  7. XabiAlonso
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Kane vert and alli
    🙂
    Nice end to a shocking week

  8. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Cheeky -8 on the cards but could be priced out soon!

    Dunk, shaqiri and wood to Smalling, Ramsey and ayew.... worth it?

  9. el polako
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    TC choice will be difficult now.

    1. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      don't overthink

  10. Magic Bean
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Feel quite lucky as just a Son owner. Kane should have had more and I think it nails him on for the TC next week

  11. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Not sure that has convinced me to do Firmino > Kane, but who's a better alternative - Aubameyang, Lacazette, Giroud?

    1. JabbaWookiee
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      No. None of those.

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Any of those

  12. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Best route to get Kane in:

    1. Salah + Vardy > 8.4 + Kane
    2. Zaha + Vardy > 4.4 + Kane
    3. Salah + Murray > Gundogun + Kane
    4. Other

    DDG, Karius
    Vertonghen, Mawson, Smalling, Lowton, Long
    Salah, Son, Zaha, Sterling, Arnie
    Jesus, Vardy, Murray

    1.7 itb

  13. JabbaWookiee
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Surely no one in their right mind would TC Kane in 37 now

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

      Plenty will. West Brom away will be difficult though.

      1. JabbaWookiee
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        He was poor. Spurs were poor. Couldn’t be less excited about the DGW

    2. DJ1000
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      What are the alternatives. Would expect Kane to get at least 2 goals. Tempted by Jesus personally

      1. JabbaWookiee
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah Jesus. Or Sterling? Eriksen? Auba? Pogba even? So frustrating watching Kane atm

  14. FPL Footy Show Pod
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Stick or twist with Lukaku.

    Already on a -8 with B.B. active this week

    1. Old Gregg
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Decision might be made for you if he’s injured.

  15. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Have Kane, Lukaku, Jesus frontline. Considering dropping Lukaku to upgrade elsewhere for B.B.

    Mad to consider Giroud?

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

    Losing to ghost team
    like this, I'm not even angry just happy he didn't play bench boost https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/team/2254673/event/36

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

      Alonso automatically subbed

  17. Regin
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    I wanna give a big thanks to West Brom as their cs helped hegazi get unexpected 8 pts for me. Total 61 this week.

  18. #FPLBhuna
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Kane(c) and lloris owner

    Could have been worse

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Shame Kane didn't blank then

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

      Some mothers do ave em

    3. Regin
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Haha. I can live with the 3 pts he gained on Salah.

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

        🙂

    4. Gnu

      Got my vote.

    5. George James
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      The timing

  19. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Keep Son and Vardy?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Probably, yeah.

  20. Dele
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    70 all out with 16pts stuck on my bench.

    Slightly frustrated after tonight’s game, feel Kane and Vert could have got me another 16pts.

    Overall very happy with Spurs picking up the 3pts!

    #COYS

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

      Nice score

    2. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Same as me 70 with 15 on the bench! Maybe vert will score next week, just happy capping salah hasn't proved costly.... never thought I'd say that!

    3. HoldingMeeStones
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      84 points but took an 8 point hit to ditch Baines and Tosun...frustrating...could have been great...but still moving into top 5k.

  21. Ask Yourself
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Alli to get a bap? Desperate

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah, may well get 1 or 2.

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

      No.

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 9 Years

        Rats

    3. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Will be close after deductions comrade.

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

    Have the baps settled now?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Still in the oven. Too much self raising.

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

        i like self risen baps

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          I like them flat.

  23. DAZZ
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Plenty of Sterling TCers then

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      KDB 😉

    2. el polako
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Must be him or Kane.

      1. Pieterke30
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Im tempted by Jesus - Amen.

    3. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      He's mine almost definitely now, or jesus

    4. Pieterke30
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Couldnt watch the game. Was Kane that bad?

  24. Pooodle
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts on Pogba or David Silva as the best Mahrez replacement?

    Silva would be the obvious option if he didn't have the risk of missing out due to his family issues. Unfortunately I can't afford Sane (and already have Sterling).

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

      Pog

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Warming to Pog as well...bigger issue is who I sell him for.

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      How about -4 for Sané?

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

        It's going to be a -4 already... and having had Sane last week on free hit I'm nervous he won't start both either.

  25. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    33 points. I'll see myself out.

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

      Lol...unlucky bud.

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

    gotta be sterling c now....... mind altered

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Between him and Jesus

  27. EL tridente
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    A) Alli and Danilo
    Or
    B) Eriksen and morgan

  28. Jairzinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Are our expectations of Kane too high? 27 Premier League goals so far this season.

    Compare that to some previous golden boot winners.

    1997/98: Sutton, Dublin, Owen scored 18 each.
    1998/99: Hasselbaink, Yorke, Owen scored 18 each.
    2008/09: Anelka scored 19.
    2010/11: Tevez and Berbatov scored 20 each.

    He's definitely seemed frustrating this season, but on the whole, he has a decent goalscoring record.

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Honestly I don't care about Kane or Spurs, just his fpl output right now.

      • Fred54
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Why did you stop where you did? Do the other seasons not fit the narrative?

        1. Jairzinho
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          I was pointing out the most disappointing years, showing how bad it can be.

          The highest ever is 31 (for a 38 match season) - Ronaldo (07-08), Suarez (13-14), and Salah is currently on that number.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premier_League_Golden_Boot

      • Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Absolutely. He's only 2 goals behind last season with 3 games remaining, and many considered last season to be incredible.
        It's because of Salah stealing his shine.

        1. Jairzinho
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Was injured for quite a bit of last season. 29 goals in 30 games, so is actually a much better rate. But this season hasn't been terrible for him.

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Even still I bet he beats 29 and gets 30 minimum this season

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

      Going without Salah or Kane wasn't the worst option after all

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

        exactly......salah c escape to victory

        chance blown for a diff

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

        This makes no sense when Kane has just scored and no big ticket strikers scored other than Jesus

        1. Zilla
          • 8 Years

          Scored and got 6 points, do you consider 12 points from your cap a good thing?

            Yes, its better than a blank 😆

            If Firm Lakuku Auba Vardy had scored you would have had a point

              Yep but it's not always comparing forward for forward, 541/451 with Jesus for example might get you more points.

          Didn't really go that well tbh, got 52 points + BPS. Capped Alexis. Benching Ryan and being afraid from Raheem's rotation hurt me this GW.

        Just emerged from behind the sofa as I don't own either. 62 with Sterling (c). Feel like I'm playing with fire though.

          Great score mate, well done. Are you planning on getting any of them next GW?
