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.

    B) Firminho, Rich > Hazard, Wilson (0.3 ITB)

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

      Tough.

      A) Dancing With Wolves.

  4. Ne0
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Who to start and who to put 1st on the bench?
    A) Wan-Bissaka (v SOU)
    B) Stephens (v FUL)
    C) Wilson (V che)

    1. Kane Train
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      A

      1. Ne0
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks

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

      If Tomkins is fit for Palace: Start A
      First on bench C

      If he isn't
      Start C
      First on bench A

      1. Ne0
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Excellent advice. I hadn't even considered Tomkins. Thanks! This is exactly what I am going to do.

      2. Ne0
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Btw, you probably need to update your website link.

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

          Ah, ok cheers

    3. Yeyeyeyeye
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      A bench c, b

      1. Ne0
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks. I was thinking the same.

  5. LeBoeuf
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Best 5.0 or under mid?

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Neves

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

        He's £5.1 actually.

  6. Koflok
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Worth doing King -> Mitrovic / Ings?

    Or I can save my FT to possibly replace Bilva and upgrade Mane -> Hazard next week for no hit

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Save imo

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Actually scratch that, didn't realise FUL were playing BHA. Saving is fine but so is mitro. Ings would just be for two weeks probably.

    2. Ne0
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Tough choice but I'd go with the latter. I'd rather have Hazard for no hit.

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

      Mitrovic has City away week 5
      Ings plays for Southampton

      Save

  7. Enes_Sahini1
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Moura a viable option?

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Better than Walcott imo

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      not the worst punt

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

      Watch the 90 mins if you get a chance.

      He's viable imb.

    4. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      No he was only playing oop, furthest foward for Spurs, scored 3 goals and I'm getting him, so definitely no

      1. Jacques The Lad
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Settle petal

  8. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Bilva to Moura for a hit ?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Yes, then do Salah to Hazard for a hit too.

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Already own Hazard

        1. Kane Train
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          i think he is joking with you mate hahah

  9. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Worth going Hazard (C) as a differential ?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Make your case

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        He loves to play against Bournemouth and score but so does Aguero against Newcastle

        1. Pep says
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Check the head to heads. He always scores at Bournemouth and has commented on this in the past. In 4 games at the Bridge he's only scored once against them.

          This quote a couple seasons back by Hazard talking about liking playing away at Bournemouth has turned into Chinese whispers

        2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Then who do you think is the best option and why?

    2. Ne0
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I'd go with Aguero. This is not the time to go for differential captains, especially with a good rank like yours. But if you really think Hazard is going to go nuts, it's your call. At the end of the day, it's whatever makes you most satisfied and leads to least regret.

    3. Letsgo!
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I am going for that!

  10. Winners900
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Am I the only one who are going with Mkhitaryan instead of Walcott? Dont trust Everton without Richarlison. While Arsenal will get better with Ozil.

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

      I agree with you

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

      Don't like either

  11. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Ddg now in the growing list of players that need to go. Already have rich, arnie, mili, peltier. Seriously considering a wc.

  12. bigdip
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Fabianski (Patricio)
    Robertson, Mendy, AWB (S.Cook,Peltier)
    Mane, Salah (C), Walcott Mkhi Cairney
    Arnie, Aguero (King)

    1FT, 0.9mn ITB

    A) King to Mitrovic
    B) Mane to Haz
    C) Mane & King to Haz & Mitrovic (-4 hit)
    D) Save FT

    1. swervinho
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      B

  13. Kane Train
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Lucas or B.Silva

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      moving forward, probably B.Silva with those fixtures

  14. Grounderz
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Richarlison replacements, which option?

    (A) Walcott
    (B) Pedro
    (C) Moura

    Note that I have Hazard.

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      C

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

      Walcott for me. Moura has Watford away, then Liverpool who are a different beast defensively this season. After that, who knows what Poch will do with the team once Son is back from the Asian games and CL. Pedro is a no go if you have Hazard IMO

      1. NATSTER
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Yep. I have tried to avoid Walcott but he looks the better option for the next few gameweeks.

    3. UpAndAway
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I've changed formation (4-3-3) and swapped Richarlison for Alonso.

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

        This

    4. Ne0
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      All good options. I'd go with A.

    5. Licious Lizard
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      A: form x fixtures x nailed

    6. Grounderz
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Thanks, folks.

    7. BLADE RUNN3R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Moura

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

    A) Bilva to Moura

    B ) Bilva to Walcott

    C) Nothing

    Will be a -8.

    1. swervinho
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      c

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      nothing

    3. 420king
      • 9 Years

      C

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

        But think Bilva will be benched now, dont you?

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

          Why where are you getting this from?

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

            Coming from a draw. Would think Pep will do some changes. And Bilva has played a lot. Subbed off on 60 min last game.
            Maybe time to be benched?

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

    Cech
    Mendy Robertson Alonso
    B.Silva Salah Richarlison Neves
    Aubameyang Firmino Zaha

    Stekelenburg W-B Tomkins Stephens

    -Firmino and Richarlison to Aguero, Cairney -4?
    -Firmino, Richarlison, B.Silva to Aguero, Pedro, Fraser -8?
    -Something else?

    Just trying to get Aguero in

  17. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Moura rising 100.4

  18. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Tempted to take a hit to sort out this lot rather than wc. Any suggestions? Already did rich to wally with the ft. 0.3m itb

    Ddg
    Alonso vvd Boly
    Salah mane Rich mili
    Kun arnie king

    Boruc wan biss Stephens peltier

    1. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Why are you playing Boly over Wan Bisako?

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Sorry need to change that. Any other suggestions mate?

    2. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Wait for news on Arnie I guess

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        If he’s out then would you wc?

        1. Pep says
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Not sure

    3. firetog
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Nothing bad enough to take a hit. Have some patience all those players are decent

  19. Iwobi
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Best 8.5> mid?

  20. Rotation City
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Shaw the top rated United player by the rags today. If they can sort themselves out in their nice fixtures coming up then he could be the most nailed way in. Who wudda thought it?

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

      It would be nice...

    2. Mortiis
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah Shaw should be nailed when they get their new manager in

  21. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    if you see a banner flying over old trafford in united next home game dont be surprised, we want Mou out say we want Mou out

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I don't think a change of manager at this stage in the game would help in the slightest tbh.

    2. lugs
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Wenger in , make your grav essential again 🙂

  22. F4L
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Would be nice if Jordan Ayew could get into Palace's team soon ahead of Benteke

  23. Differential C (Mark)
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Had a WC team that I was very happy with, and then Moura rams into it ffs.

    Which team?

    A)Hennesey (Guaita)
    Robertson Mendy Alonso Bellerin (AwB)
    Salah Hazard Walcott (Brooks H.Costa)
    Aguero Jimenez Mitrovic

    B)Hennesey (Speroni)
    Robertson Mendy Alonso (Bennett AwB)
    Salah Hazard Moura Walcott (Billing)
    Aguero Jimenez Mitrovic

    Cheers

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

      Brooks and Costa are gross picks. Both get subbed around 60 mins 4 expensive defenders will ultimately fail like it does every season

  24. Clintymints
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    A. Walcott + Zaha

    Or

    B. Lucas + Wilson

    A has better fixtures on paper, b is bang on form with some nice rises

    Or just get Zaha OR Walcott and take no hit. Richarlison and Arnie out at the minute

  25. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    My Richarlison replacement will most likely be Dale Stephens

  26. FPLGeezer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Will Moura rise tonight?

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Currently at 100.4 on fpl stats, so possible.

    2. Sweetboi
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Yes

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

      Cheers guys Moura over Walcott for me then

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

    Who would you replace Richarlison with? Have 0.5 itb

    A) Mkhi
    B) Wally
    C) Pedro

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

      A) You're so fine

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

      Moura

  28. the snazzy viking
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Walcott or Pedro

    I know I ranted about Wally for ages but having second thoughts

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

      2 shots on target 2 goals screams unsustainable

  29. FPLEL
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Richardson -> Lucas or Walcott?

    I can't decide.

    1. FPLEL
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Autocorrect**

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

      Spurs or Everton?

    3. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I'm going Lucas

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

    Bilva > Mkhi for -4

    Yes?

    1. Ziyech on the Bench
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      What? Not until he gets dropped

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

      Disgusting. Newcastle are home next and Mkhi inconsistent last 2 seasons

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

        Bilva could be benched and as much consistent as Mkhi seems.

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

          "could"

    3. Schwarzer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      No way.

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

      no

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

      Yep
