Fantasy managers back Spurs over Man United in Monday Night Football

5,411 Comments
Share

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.

      Id swap kante or jorginho as may be hard for you to bring in alonso for future... also, tooo many chelsea midfielders. Get Neves in if you can change prices too much. Id maybe also get rid of Aub to free up money to upgrade one of the defenders and get Mkhi in to cover Arsenal

      No offence, and I say this with no exaggeration, but that is arguably the worst team I’ve ever seen in my 8 years of playing this game. Start from scratch and work towards the template all over this site

      Trip may get rotated so idk, played well though... Alli was good until final third. Should've scored once or twice and seemed indecisive. Give him 2 or 3 weeks and he'll be on fire

          Not really, Alonso has a string going. Looks like you only have one captain choice, where many teams have three.

          Ederson and Begovic is way too much GK expense IMO I'd actually trade out Ederson for cash.. Firmino not in form yet and playing deeper, so you are missing a big striker... like Kane, Aguero or a big mid, like Hazard. And you shouldn't have both Moura and Erik for very long. same team, will share a pot of bonus points with Kane. I like Mitrovic. Good luck. You're betting on Firmino to do well until you reshape.

    Finding it hard not to bring Pereyra into my team. Think he is legit and like Watford for goals. Nice price on the rise as well.

      Yep, I keep putting him in and then taking him out. Will regret it probably. I think it is the Hitler haircut throwing me off.

    I keep thinking I want some Arsenal coverage, then I watch them play and think,... really?

    Lots of wildcard teams around, don't see much of Dilva at all .. city could score a ridiculous amount of goals in their next 4.. in the absence of KDB, Dilva is pretty nailed on imo

      If I was wildcarding, he'd be in. Of course, Salah would probably be out, so it's entirely possible I'm an idiot.
