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.

    Does Tomkins, Richarlison and king to ings, alonso and Walcott for a minus 4 make sense?

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years

      Yep

      1. dbeck

        Ings over Jimenez?

    2. Netley Lucas

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

        Have mitro already, jammed an OR 185 so need alonso

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

          Jaysus you should be giving the advice

    4. JurgenRocks
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Sounds good. I'm thinking of doing Richarlison to Walcott.

  4. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Anyone reckon Ings > Mitrovic is worth a -4?

    Mitrovic’s fixtures aren’t even as bad as i first thought.

    1. Ha.
      • 11 Years

      No

    1. Fantastisk

  7. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Kepa, Stekelenburg
    VVD, Luiz, Mendy, Trippier, WB
    Salah, Hazard, Fraser, Neves, Masuaku
    Mitrovic, Aguero, King

    Thoughts ?

    Thinking of switching VVD to TAA next week to upgrade Luiz to Alonso, but that would mean not being able to switch Kepa to DDG or to get Richarlison back easily in the future. What would you do?

  8. Merlinsnose
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Do we think that Jones is an option? Or is he a 5.3 trap?

    Thanks

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

      He’s not a left back

    2. Team Cruel

      Ask again in two hours.

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Wait

  9. Miguel Sanchez
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Can someone convince me Walcott is a better option than Pedro? The latter's stats are better and i think he is fairly safe in Sarri's XI for the next few at least.

    1. DJDave1979
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      The former played in a team down to 10 men for a lot of the matches. I've got both but the one I might dump is Pedro. He only plays for an hour and a bench appearance is around the corner IMO.

    2. MTPockets
      8 years, 21 days ago

      If Pedro's safe then Walcott isn't a better option. That's the only factor imo and agree with you.

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

        Which is exactly the problem.

        1. MTPockets
          8 years, 21 days ago

          Sarri's tended to have a team and stick with it. I think Pedro will be in that team, but it's a risk and may be wrong.
          I have him + Walcott atm.

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

            I had Walcott and Richarlison so it's moot for me - but if I had the money I'd have both.
            I took a hit last night before the price changes and put in Alonso/Meyer (all aboard) for Richa/Cedric

    3. JurgenRocks
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Pedro was subbed off for Willian in the last match, and that worries me.

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Pedro will have the whole of the i international break to work with Sarri as Willian and Hazard are on duty. I think tbis can only strengthen his place in the team.

        1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 21 days ago

          good point

    4. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Exactly. I was about to get Pedro, he could be excellent value for the season..but not sure any more, as he might probably play just 60-70 min. So, maybe Wally first, and Pedro later?

  10. La Vida Latte
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Bottomed. Stankovic worth a punt for 4.0?

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      There's a reason it bottomed.

    2. yakirh
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      No

    3. ManofKent
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      He'll probably play the odd match depending on formation, but he's not a guaranteed starter...

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

      No. Get AWB.

    5. La Vida Latte

    2. Traction Engine Foot

      I would, especially as you have a goalkeeper who doesn't even play in the Premier League.

    Some guy in the previous article was asking if the total GW average could go down if only the lower owned players do well tonight...

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      If said lower owned player causes a De Gea to get negative points, then yes.

    4. Rainer

      Down? Not overall unless something weird happened, DDG red, Trip red, Kane red lol

  17. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Shurrle or Walcott?

    1. Rogue Todd
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Surely not Schurrle

  18. cjhewitt92
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Is Bavies or Tripper worth there price given spurs rotation at full back. If not what price would worth it as I would guess Bavies will drop over the week

  19. rekyaren
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    DDG, Tomkins and Rich -> Walcott, Alonso and Pickford -4 ?

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Yes but maybe not for Picks

  20. COLLIN QUANER
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    1-1 would be nice with goals from Herrera and Dembele.

    1. Rogue Todd

      😀

  21. PogChamp
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Mendy is owned by 3 times the amount of people in GW3 than GW1 and yet his price rise is only 0.3. FPL price rises are so confusing.

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

      It just depends *when* people buy

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Even so his ownership more than doubled from GW1 to GW2 but he only went up by 0.1, we can't have all text each other to make sure we brought him on the same day. Crooked as ever.

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

          Most transfer activity confined to a couple of nights each week. Can surpass the threshold early on and subsequent transfers won’t affect the price any further. Put your tinfoil hat away.

    2. Fantastisk
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      He should be 18.0 by now!

      1. PogChamp
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        lol not that much but you would think going from 400k to 1.4m in 2GWs would warrant more than 0.3 price rise.

    3. Limbo
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Doesn't WC activity affect the price rise differently to other transfers? I'd expect there were a lot of WCs in the first few GWs as folk kneejerked.

      1. PogChamp
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Didn't know that. I wish they were more transparent with the price rises.

  22. Karan_G14
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Better option?

    A) Robertson & Fraser

    B) TAA & Walcott

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

      A

  23. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    If Sanchez is fit for the bench he should be starting, loves scoring against Spurs.

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      I think Jose has had it with him giving away possession too easily and wants to make a point.

  24. Ragabolly
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Salah looks very unsettled, has serious issues with the Egyptian FA and just posted two live videos on facebook replying to their claims of him being disloyal to Egypt etc..

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Retirement might be coming!

      1. Ragabolly
        • 16 Years

        Indeed..

      2. Licky
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Probably.

    2. Rogue Todd
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Is he eligible to play for England?

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

        Don't know about the latest fifa rules for that

    3. Rash
      • 9 Years

      That's still On going!?

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

        It's resurfaced this week as Salah's lawyer sent the FA requests that they should do for Salah or he won't join the coming camp for the Niger game (mainly asking for ensuring he gets his privacy and security in the camp because it was a mess in Russia with random people visiting his rooms at all times), then they accused him of being arrogant and disloyal so he had to make videos himself

    4. Fantastisk

      A passionate Egyptian. With an even bigger passion for image rights.

      1. Ragabolly
        • 16 Years

        No, bigger than image rights this time, see my comment above.

    Guys. Currently on this

    Fantasy team:

    Fab. (Patricio)

    Mendy. Robertson. Trent. (PVA. Wan bis)

    B Silva. Pedro. Mikhi. Richarlison. (Neves)

    Aubameyang. Aguerro. Friminho.

    You reckon I swap. Friminho and Bilva. To Salah and 4.5 striker?
