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.

    One thing I will never understand is how you can prefer sitting on the bench for a top club instead of playing regularly, when playing football is what you've devoted your life to.

    I mean, take Tammy Abraham for instance. He's good but is probably third in the pecking order at Chelsea right now. Why not go to Villa and play and become a better player?

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

      Money. And a lot of players don't even like football, it's a job. I remember the tabs melting down when Zamora admitted it but a lot of the world's top players have only ever done it for the money. Batistuta, Vieri.... David Batty.

    Moaninho in trouble now.....

  8. 420king

    My rival owns Tripper since GW1. First week he got a 8 pointer from the bench....

  9. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Of course the two most owned outfield players return. Worst scenario.

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

      Not amongst the top 10k. Who cares about the hoi polloi. Benching Zaha hurt me more. I curse Bilva.

      That never stops people taking 8 pt hits to get the flavour of the week in.

    Thank god I sold De Gea

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

      I curse him. I have never bought into the premium keeper argument so I should have announced on here I was finally doing it GW1. When people like me capitulate it's the sign it's over.

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Nah he was a good option on paper before the season began. No one could’ve seen this coming, it’s just hindsight. But when they conceded 3 goals in 45 minutes vs Brighton with Spurs up next, my mind was made up.

        The thing is the only good keeper options right now are Allison and Ederson, everyone else is debatable. And I don’t want them because I want 3 other players from their teams
