With Stoke City tumbling out of the Premier League with their defeat to Crystal Palace, events now turn to four afternoon kick-offs.

Fantasy managers will be fixated on the encounter at The Hawthorns which now has even greater significance following the result at the bet365 Stadium.

Harry Kane goes into this match as the most popular captain pick with the backing of over a million Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers.

More importantly, some 49.3% of the 385,000+ Triple Captain chips in play are trusted on the Spurs striker. His output in this match, and on Wednesday at home to Newcastle, will be crucial to the outcome of mini-leagues and in deciding the FPL crown.

Kane continues to give chase to Mohamed Salah in the race for the Golden Boot, but will do so in a Spurs line-up without Ben Davies and Son Heung-min who both drop to the bench.

Elsewhere today, Jordan Ayew takes over 143,000 new owners into Swansea City’s trip to Bournemouth as they go in search of the three points that will go a long way to earning them safety.

Meanwhile, at the King Power Stadium, Leicester City will host West Ham with the Hammers also looking to confirm their top flight status by earning a point.

Fantasy managers will hope that Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez will repay their recent Wildcard investment, with the latter heading into this game on the back of a disappointing run of five successive blanks.

For West Ham, Arnautovic has the backing of 58,000+ new owners as he bids to add to his tally of ten goals and five assists from his previous 16 starts.

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

    1. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      -1 from 6

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Yep, that's probably worse.

    3. Arteta
      • 10 Years

      Yeah, for now.

    4. lugs
      • 8 Years

      2 from 3 , 19 to go 😆

    5. MagicMessi

  8. Essan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Kane TCers got 6 points - that's more than any of my useless bunch so far!

  9. Shultan
    • 10 Years

    Thanks to guy who did the Fear of missing out HT & mark for telling us how bad kane looked with the eye test

    1. reddragons178
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      This. Mark convinced me. But he TCed Kane 🙂

    2. kawaiii
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, a very good HT. If, for example people had gone Salah early on and followed their instincts then far better off overall.

      Kane is just the biggest TC example of fear. Sterling has the stats as does Jesus.
      Next year go with your own eye test and check the data.

      Scouts are conservative by nature. Often say one thing and do another.

  10. aborg

    So basically Vertongen should have a bonus point or two since he kept a clean sheet while still on

    1. *Reformed-Character*
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      No you fool

      1. Victor6359
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        No need

      2. aborg
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I guess you’re a pissed off dude at the moment.
        This happened already before to my rival’s defender...after he got called off his team conceeded a goal but he still got a cs and bonus point.
        So maybe you might be the fool after all.

        He's asking a question. Usually means he's stuck for an answer. Muppet.

    Spurs relinquished some serious mojo when they became so obsessed as an organization about Kane's goal scoring -- all of the hat trick and calendar year records tweeting, the goal petitioning, the Golden Boot focus. Poor form organizationally, just for a few clicks and likes.

    1. BIGREDDOG
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      That was the FA and the media. Kane within his rights to appeal? It's his job to score goals....

      1. boc610
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        yeah its his job to score actual goals, not rob them from teammates. and its not just the media. he became obsessed and it has clearly affected the team

      2. tm245
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Getting Eriksen in front of a camera to deny his goal was not the FA's doing, if I recall, but I agree that the FA and the English didn't help making Spurs all about Kane.
