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.

    Terrible game.

    Shocking refereeing this gameweek. Moura fouled in the penalty area, Richarlison red, Zaha yellow....

    1. DeathoftheParty
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Lolz... I'm with ya... That Ricky sending off worked out for me though...

    2. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      If only there were some sort of way of rectifying those bad decisions.

    3. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Capoue not getting a red was astonishing

      1. Ode
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        That one too, also Boly offside + handball goal

    4. Jack Sparrow
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Rich was a red
      It was a pen
      Zaha deserved a yellow.

      1. GREEN IS GOOD
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Zaha put his foot on the ball and the Watford player leapt in the air like he'd been shot. Never a yellow, not even a foul.

    5. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      lmao, rich was clear red

  5. It's Fergie Time
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Never thought I'd think anyone was worse than Fellaini, but I think Fred is

    1. Rash
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Bit harsh

    2. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      What game are you watching? He’s been very good.

    3. It's Fergie Time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      For the $$ they paid for Fred, he's trash

    4. Jack Sparrow
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Man U have zero good players. Kind of well known now so why are you surprised?

  6. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Lucas had made the list , Alli greedy and thinks he is better than he is, Rose and Dier shite, Shaw looks great and Utd look solid.

    1. Licky
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I think a more incisive team would punish United playing like this.

    2. DeathoftheParty
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      What list has Lucas made...

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Richarlison replacement list

    3. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      “Utd looks solid”

    4. Jack Sparrow
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Shaw looks great and Utd look solid? I will crack the jokes.

  7. VanDijksToWatchOutFor

    Is...is lucas moura actually...good!?

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years

      No. He isn't.

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      He has made my list

      1. Marvin.
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Steady on mate he doesn't deserve that.

    3. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      He is the player futherest foward getting plenty of touches in the box and should of won a pen

    4. Jack Sparrow
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      He is great IMO.

    5. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Definitely the most dynamic spurs player going forward tonight. Carries the ball well.

  8. Marvin.
    • 9 Years

    Glad i'm not watching this game by the sound of it.

    1. Yes Don
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I’m enjoying it.
      Better than Pool v Brighton yesterday.

    2. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Why? I'm watching with the sound down. What are they saying?

    3. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Comments on here really confusing, saying poor game, but lots seems to be going on.

    4. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      It's actually not that bad.

    5. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Compelling. If a little scrappy.

    6. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Not a classic, but it's a pretty open game

  9. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    How the referee didn't give the penalty from his view is beyond me. He was looking right at it. Complete homer

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years

      Doh

    2. Yes Don

      Was a pen. MUFC fan here.

      De gea would have saved it.

      1. Yes Don
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        easy

  10. Jafooli

    Great game....

    1. BooYaKasha

      New heights of despair

    2. Jack Sparrow
      • 7 Years

      You playing chess?

  11. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    HT 0-0.

    Lukaku open goal miss. Moura survives a red card. Moura could’ve had a penalty.

    Shaw looking good.
    JLingz looking like a decent Richarlison replacement.
    Fred might be one to monitor.
    Kane offering little.
    Eriksen very deep.
    Moura the Spurs threat.
    Rose very poor (Bavies walks back in).

    1. DantheManinaPan
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Agree. Add to that Alli is getting into good positions but not finishing well

    2. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Can't argue.

    3. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Fred what??

    4. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      It was no red card.

    5. Yes Don
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      fair assessment

    6. Yes Don
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Just waiting for JLingz to emerge uninjured before pulling the trigger on the Rich swap.

    7. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Add in Mourinho fools us with a back 3

      1. Zladan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, surprised to see Herrera slot into a back 3 for sure. I wonder how Sanchez fits into this formation.

    8. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      You missed Lingard still ugly.

      1. Zladan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Fair play to him for pulling Jena Frumes that time though.

        1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Who? Pics pls

          1. Zladan
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            You’ll have to check IG. Well worth a follow.

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

      Looked like a pen, ref bottled it.

    10. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Kane yc was not a foul

    11. Jarnathan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Moura looks fast, but does he have end-product?

      What do you think happens when Son comes back? Moura drops out? Alli? Or rotation from all 3?

      1. Zladan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Valid questions. I’m not sure of the answers.. except Alli keeps his place for sure.

  12. DantheManinaPan
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Surprised most people calling this game terrible. I've found it to be quite interesting. Not exhilarating, but a fascinating battle

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      It's always the same if 2 minutes pass without a goal

    2. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I've seen more interesting Phil Neville quotes.

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Like that one on Twitter where he said he battered his wife?

    3. OldBenKenobi
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Not the worst.

    4. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Might be old fashioned, but I don’t find constantly giving the ball away interesting or fascinating

    5. DJDave1979
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I'm enjoying it. I've seen far worse matches.

  13. Mr Dave
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Rich + Stankovic ->
    A) Monreal + jovetic
    B) awb + Pereyra
    C) open to suggestions

  14. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

    7 years, 4 months ago

    When Son returns this Spurs side will look better than ordinary.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      When Kane is back it'll help too.

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

        😯

  15. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years

    Better by United. Moving the ball quicker and getting it forward quicker. Now they just need to get better at doing it. Welcome to the 21st century...

  16. OldBenKenobi
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    How on earth are Rose and Dier not in the BPS? 😆

    1. Royal5

      Both has been shocking

      1. Royal5

        Guess you were being sarcastic?

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      They are. Both on 3 BPS.

  19. Bobby Digital

    Hazard or Sterling?

    I have Pedro and Ederson.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      The one who isn’t an 11m rotation risk every match

    2. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Hazard

    3. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Hazard. Sterling too much of a rotation risk.

  20. tm245
    • 14 Years

    Very reminiscent of England-Belgium in the third match of their World Cup group.

  21. FPL Scoop

    Mitrovic or Wilson, who to bring in?

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Mitro

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Wilson because of fixtures

    3. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Wilson if you can use the extra 0.4/0.5

  23. Limbo

    Thanks to everyone who convinced me to cashout. Took the money when it rose before the game - Mourinho helped me for once. Still have a punt on, but only £50 - which is looking bloody stupid now. Not enough variables without other games in play.

      after much humming and hawing, i decided not to take richarlison out. He is sitting on my bench and I went back to my original plan to ship Firminio , and move the funds into Hazard. He will be back for gw6 and tbh is the best value for the price.

    World Class strikers don't miss them.

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I thought Kane's record at OT was bad but apparently Lukaku only has 1 goal V Spurs in 10 league meetings.

      1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Spurs aren't a bottom of the table side, of course he doesn't score against them!

    Just bet on Utd winning this at about 3-1.

    Risky, but I still see it. 1-0 Fellaini
