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.

    So weird, pre season when I needed to have a couple of players so I could save, auto select put in Moura. He's been ok. Should have stuck with him!

  5. Boomerang V

    Trippier is owned by 24%, Kane by 27%...

    Mourinho fan boys awfully quiet.

    1. The Mighty Hippo
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I think he's possibly gone after this. Zizi is a definite option to replace him.

      1. Jack Burton
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        as a utd fan i hope so still salvage something of the season

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

    Will Man U keep a cleansheet against Burnley?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Can't see it. At this rate they'll be happy to stay up.

  10. Robson-Canoe
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Wow Lindelof and Fred are actually absolutely terrible football players. Horrible transfers

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

      Mourinho transfers. Yet he wonders why Woodward won't back him anymore.

  11. Podge
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Kane, still never scored a hattrick in August, useless 🙂

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

      Lol

    2. lifes a pitch

      Still missing some real sitters

  12. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    And DDG is still worth 6M.

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Not for long

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

    How awful are UTD ?

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

    Has Mourinho gone yet? Who's he going to blame tonight? His pants?

    1. BUZZBOMB ♡
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      He'll stick his tongue out, flick a V sign and blow a raspberry from his arm pit before blaming his players, his mother and Mrs Trppier for bringing Kieran up. Said it before but always worth saying - petulant, snarling little rodent who brings nothing but negativity and darkness to the game. If he's that good an interpreter he'll see through the sugar coating of my post.

  15. Gerd Mueller’s thighs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    They should have paid for McGuire

    1. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      As if he'd make much of diff

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

        I like how McGuire has become like Franco Baresi at his peak according to Mourinho and his supporters. They'd have you believe they'd be on for the quadruple with him.

      2. Gerd Mueller’s thighs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Jones and then Lindehof were terrible there.

  16. Champ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    How's Alli looking anyone?

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

      Missing the final touch tonight

    2. French Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Off the pace - should have had 2

    Utd's players really aren't good enough. It's quite lovely to watch...

  19. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 9 Years

    All jammy casuals in my ML with both Maguire and Trippier.

    Big Sam can rescue Man Utd's season.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      He's good at keeping teams up alright!

    2. fclackless [Brazil Nuts]

    How funny is Linderflop as a defender....has got to be the worse defender in the league.....how much did Jose pay for him ??

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      30+ I think

  22. Feloh
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    would you wild card just to get rid of double unites def and bring in Ederson, Alonso and hazard.

    1. Texas Pete
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

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

    But but but they have won 20 titles. Doesn't matter they are shite now and have been for some time 🙂

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

      But but but City and Chelsea might win titles and cups all the time but ManU have history which is obviously more important.

  24. Glasner Ball
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Sanchez, 350k a week. Wow.

  25. Podge
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    You'd hardly believe United were going to win this

  26. BON
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Got the popcorn ready for Full Time Devils lol.

  27. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    United are going to get hit hard on the counter here

  28. captainjilflex
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Lucas Moura perfect replacement for Richarlison!

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

      Nah

      1. captainjilflex
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        i reckon he will outscore walcott in the next few weeks

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

          Rather Trippier

          1. captainjilflex
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            trippier not an option. need to swap rich

  29. Adro3
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Lindelof even worse than Jones hahaha.

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

    You know Manu is shite when their best player on the pitch is Luke Shaw

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      A bit harsh. The boy has has genuine talent but lack of effort/hard work was an issue.

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

      cant blame it one player. Mou has to be fired. with an attacking coach, they can still make the top 4.
