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.

    Maybe Phil Jones isnt a reliable starter then.

    Jose is moaning about having no left sided centre back, yet its whoever he plays on the right side that makrs thd big mistakes. Jones twice tonight. Lindelof twice last week.

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

    You just feel like Spurs will score with every shot. The world cup really hasn't done DDG's confidence any good.

  12. grayedog

    Made the mistake of looking at my team during this game.

    1. Four Hit Wonder
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      That's not rage, that's common sense.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet

  25. Ray Kinsella

  26. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Exact cash for Richarlison to Moura. Could be worth a shot.

    1. hafakilo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      I'm thinking the same. Moura involved in everything up front. Although remember he won't play easy teams like this every week.

  27. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
