Fantasy managers back Spurs over Man United in Monday Night Football

A large portion of Fantasy managers are backing the key Spurs’ men for their Monday night trip to Manchester United.

Harry Kane (£12.5m) comes into the match as the most popular player and captained by just under 500,000+ managers.

Only Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) and Sergio Aguero (£11.2m) were backed by more in Gameweek 3, and the England captain needs two goal involvements to outshine them both.

Kieran Trippier (£6.0m) is the next most fashionable member of the Spurs squad, 24 percent of Fantasy managers hoping for a repeat of recent free-kicks scored against Croatia at the World Cup and Fulham in Gameweek 2.

Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea (£6.0m) remains owned by just over a quarter of managers, despite not yet keeping a clean sheet in 2018/19. Although with Spurs bringing plenty of attacking talent to Old Trafford, this match is unlikely to be the last straw for him.

The Spaniard is one of just two United players with double-figure ownership. The other one is Paul Pogba (£8.1m), currently backed by 18 percent following back-to-back converted penalties.

There will be some interest Christian Eriksen (£9.4m) and Dele Alli (£9.1m) with the Dane still just ahead of his English team-mate’s ownership, inspite of losing some set pieces duties to Trippier. Eriksen sits in 11 percent of squads with Alli in 7.6.

The secondary defenders (in terms of popularity) for each side are Luke Shaw (£5.1m) and Jan Vertonghen (£6.0m). The United man is in 8.7 percent of teams with Vertonghen in 10 percent.

SOMETHING ABOUT JOE AND WILLY BOLY.

    Hennessy
    Robertson - Mendy - Wan-Bissaka
    Salah - Mane - Richarlison - Mhikitaryan
    Zaha - Aguero - Arnautovic

    Stekelenburg - Peltier - Cairney - Kabasele

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      No - save.

  5. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone tempted of triple captaining Kun this week?

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      No - wait for the dgws.

    2. yakirh
      • 8 Years

      No

    3. ALegendJ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      historically, we should. but dgws are safer bets

    4. pressdpm
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      If you're convinced, I'd say do it.

  6. Ohh1454
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on bilva > Lucas

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Makes no sense.

    2. ALegendJ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      no, 2 easy home fixtures for Bilva

      1. Bissisine
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        But will he start?

  7. Scratch
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    What to do about Arnautovic... Already using my FT to sell Richarlison.

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

      Same issue, no price change on the horizon so waiting on news

    2. ALegendJ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      wait for more concrete news. If out, out for zaha or wilson

  8. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Already got Salah, Moura, Kun, Zaha... 1 FT
    A) Firminho, Rich > Hazard, Jimenez (0.8 ITB)
    B) Firminho, Rich > Hazard, Wilson (0.3 ITB)

    1. ALegendJ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      B

  9. Messsiaah
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Wilson looks like a prime pick atm.
    Would you do Ings to Wilson for -4?

    1. DeathoftheParty
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Not for a hit with them playing Chelsea next

    2. ALegendJ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Wouldnt really for a hit

    3. FPL Alaska
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      No

  10. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on vardy after suspension? Fixtures are great. Have firmino so want to replace to another striker for gw 5 to 8 and get firmino later. Sounds good plan?

    1. ALegendJ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      might work greatly

    2. pjomara
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I think Mitro, Wilson and Zaha have similarly decent fixtures but are much cheaper

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

    Oh Lucas... Top of all my ML's and breaking into the top 100k... You Jaffa.

          • 14 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

    1. OldBenKenobi

      5 years, 9 months ago

      Don’t see any issues

  16. OldBenKenobi
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Who would you captain out of these?

    Salah (lei)
    Sterling (NEW)
    Auba (car)

    Yes I don’t own Aguero....

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Salah. No brainer after last season.

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Do this and hope to hell Aguero blanks? 😉

    2. Ragabolly
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I would captain Sterling now then probably change it to Salah before deadline

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Your a mind reader 😆
        Badly chasing now so the risk on Sterling(c) is tempting.
        Feel like I’ve nothing to lose now

    3. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Eleven million.

      1. OldBenKenobi

    VVD, Trippier, Mendy, Luiz, WB
    Salah, Hazard
    Mitrovic, Aguero(c), King

    Bench: Stekelenburg, Neves, Fraser, Masuaku

  22. joersherman
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Best option guys?

  23. Chrissy Waddle - 2023/24
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Guys, help me out. FFFix site has players like Richarlison at 6.7, but the FPL site still had him at 6.8 ? Has he dropped?

    1. Ragabolly
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      he has dropped

  24. tafrère
    • 7 Years

    A. Hart (MUN)
    B. Foster (TOT)

  25. LIARS POKER
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    When are those who haven't used wildcard yet thinking of doing it? GW6 and GW10 look good for fixture shifts, I think I will use it one of those 2 weeks

    1. willl
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Don't plan to use it, just use it if you need to.

      1. LIARS POKER
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        I disagree. Using the wildcard around a major fixture swing for a number of teams is a proven great way to plan your wildcard and get ahead. E.g. last season around GW8.

    2. ScratchingTheMud
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      GW9 or GW13 international breaks. Or when my team really needs it

  26. Bissisine

    Will Moura rise tonight?
    And will Bilva drop this week?

    1. willl

      hold on I'll fetch my crystal ball

    2. Dynamic Duos

      I thinking im going Moura for this reason long term don't see Pochettino dropping him for Son if he keeps up form. Spurs lads I know who some were at match today and don't get sucked into the hype about no signings believed in Moura that he was going to come good with summer break and settling in period.
