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.

      Kane always scores them..

        Even Karius has saved a Kane pen.

    How does this compare to Cardiff game for quality? (for those stupid enough to have watched the Cardiff game)

    Blimey. There are a lot of tossers on here during games this season.

      This place has never been at it's best during a match.

      Tbf I think it's been better than normal tonight. It's when people have a lot riding on the games that you tend to cringe at the kneejerking

        Brace yourself... I sense a lot of "should I do Richarlison -> Moura?"'s coming....

  4. Davido989
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Both of these goalkeepers offer very little in build up play and soon as they're pressed, they've hoofed the ball to the opposing CM. DDG and Lloris have both gifted 2 open play chances to their counterparts.

    1. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Best goal keepers in the world.

      1. Davido989
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        de Gea is in the conversation, Lloris isn't.

    2. Jack Sparrow
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      They are no Allison that's for sure.

      1. Zladan
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Lol

    3. tm245
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      The systems definitely support their hoofing.

    4. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Lloris has been getting nervier with his feet over the past season. Plenty of clearances out for throws last season.

      Just glad the big cock up was for France and hoping not repeated.

    5. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      I thought hoofing was part of the standard Mou strategy?

  5. Butcher
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Lingard instead of Mkhi?

    1. Ha.
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      No

    2. Yes Don
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      I'm getting him for Rich

      1. Butcher
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Unfortunately I can't afford him as a replacement for Rich. Will have to make do with Walcott.

        1. Yes Don
          • 17 Years
          8 years, 21 days ago

          FAir enough. In answer to your question then, no.
          Miki looks good. I've got him an' all.

    3. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      See last season as to why not.

  6. dbeck
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Patrico
    Alonso Mendy robbo awb
    Mhiki mane salah
    Ings kun mitrovic

    Foster cook McDonald Richarlison

    Would you transfer Richarlison out for a -4, or is that team strong enough to hold for two games?

    1. Lilac Breasted Roller
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Looks very sound to hold strong, keep

    2. Livinginapool
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      You're fine.

      1. dbeck
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Thanks both, that Everton game at home against hudds without Wally worries me

  7. ☈☾

    1FT

    Rich --> Walcott?

    or wait?

    Have Arnie too

    1. Ha.
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      May as well wait now

    2. Hurnt
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Rich to wallfot 2 days ago

    3. Gooner Kebab
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Mee + Richarlison to Mendy + 6.3 mid?

      a) Schurrle
      b) Pereyra
      c) Fraser
      d) someone else?

      1. Gooner Kebab
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        oops

  8. Lilac Breasted Roller
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    If Eriksen blanks again and Hazard rises in price tonight ...

    Eriksen -> Hazard for a -4? Got just enough ITB. If I want to get Hazard after that, it'll take an extra transfer

  9. hannibalos
    • 17 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Shaw and Moura the sparks of the game. Kane and Lukaku terrible so far. Rose a joke. Fred a strange player. Can't decide yet if he is good or bad. Confused me.

    If Spurs don't improve when the very fast Rashford and Sanchez enter, will have a problem. Utd showed defensive problems as well

    1. Luke Chadwicks Left Peg
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Shaw actually looks better than Alonso did yesterday.

      The fat boy needs goals!

      1. hannibalos
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Shaw is immense so far! Him being my 1st sub might come and hunt me

  10. Rash
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Looking at the fixtures coming up and I don't think I'll be giving salah the armband until game week 9 when he has Huddersfield.

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      expensive non captain...

      1. Rash
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Yeah I know but aguero has the form and fixtures.

      2. LosBlancos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        still worth it

  11. Finnish Fish
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Worth keeping Rich as I think he is a season keeper? Like Mendy & Robbo.. Thoughts?

    1. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Good lord he is not a season keeper!

      1. BON
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        New Michu/Mahrez imo.

  13. Touré De Force
    • 16 Years

    How do people rate Helder Costa of Wolves? Thought he was impressiveish v Man City. Assured of starts?

    1. Luke Chadwicks Left Peg
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      I’m a little unconvinced about Wolves currently. Hard to know what to make of them at the moment.

    2. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Off after 60 though right? Record is avg

    3. LosBlancos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Nope, Wolves record signing competing with him for the spot. Had im at the start and shipped GW2. Both him and Adama played well (when he came on) vs City though

      1. Touré De Force
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Good to know, cheers

  14. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Still the 2nd half to go but it is looking like Groß or Moura will be my Richarlison replacement

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Will Moura keep his spot with Son back?

      Yes. Would be out of character for jones to get caught out by pace and resort to blundering into a forward in the box.

    5. Hurnt
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Tripped him up with his right foot after trying (but not succeeding) to get the ball

    Guys, Lingard is a joke. Don't for one second think he's a cheap way into ManUtd offense, because this player is still as inconsistent as 18 year old players are when they join the adult game.

    He's bloody 25!

    1. twoplustwo

        That’s my only decision really. Most of the rest picks itself
        No Salah may only be for a few games
