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.

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 7 months ago

        A - just because there's a risk hennessey/hamer/kamara don't start.

        1. FootyFan
          • 7 Years

          Thanks!

    2. Louis Van Gaalstones
      • 11 Years

      United are proper dross

      1. All de Gea no iDier
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        They aren't that good

        1. Louis Van Gaalstones
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          They play like excitable Sunday league players

    3. Totalfootball
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Shaw has played this match like a 1 man army

      1. Maddi Son
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Just about to say he's been quality.

    4. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Got the wrong Spurs defender. Trippier is a beast.

    5. Regin
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      yday, i got in alonso & ederson IN for Mee & DDG OUT for -4.
      Looks I made the right decision. Rubbish ManU

    6. lifes a pitch
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      If Toby and Vert dont get clean sheet points aftet Trippier has banked it would be...funny

    7. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Could this season see Man U finish outside top 4?

      1. TyroneGAA
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        You spelt 10 wrong

        1. Limbo
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Haha. Indeed.

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

          lol

      2. Podge
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        very little chance of finishing inside it

      3. LosBlancos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Depends on Spurs and Arsenal tbf. I think so.
        Def way behind Che Liv and Man City

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

          Spurs are clearly showing they are in another league than ManU

        2. Limbo
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Don’t see it from gunners. Will need 20 games + transfer window to get Emery team playing. Spurs deffo.

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

        Yes last year was an aberration. Post-Fergie they've been pants

    8. 420king
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I was laughing at my rival when I saw he started with Trippier in GW1 but...
      GW1 = 8 points (autosub)
      GW2= 11 points
      GW3 = 12 points

      Better pick than Mendy, ffs.

      1. Bolivian Seaman
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        😛

      2. Fantastisk
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        The casual's choice.

      3. Licious Lizard
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        The same happened with me. Ffs and not even a chance of getting the Cs wiped now

      4. lifes a pitch
        • 12 Years

        Flukey casuals

    9. AF90
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      How did Pedro play yesterday? Haven’t seen any of game/highlights...thanks

      1. Maddi Son
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Just an average performance. Only one good chance that springs to mind. 6/10

        1. AF90
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Want to bring him in for Chelsea’s fixtures...feel it’s a big risk/reward. Potential for double figures or a 1 pointer.

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

      Keep Eriksen or not? What do you think, yes or no?

      I thought it would be a clear decision after this game, but I'm still undecided.

      1. Lilac Breasted Roller
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Pondering the same. Suppose we wait

      2. Powers106
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Not sure either, looks more like keeping given overall Spurs performance

      3. WVA
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Keeping for sure

    11. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I thought I had my back covered with getting a premium defense. No CS from City, United or Chelsea all of whom I have in my defense.

      1. Hulk Smash
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Premium defenders are about attacking returns.

        No point getting Luiz, Van Dijk, Kompany when you've got Alonso, Robertson, Mendy absolutely killing it.

    12. pjomara
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      If Dr. Frankenstein was given an angle grinder and a welder could he make one decent centre back out of the 4 Man Utd centre backs they've used so far this season?

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Jones!

    13. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Imagine paying 6m for de Gea.

      Show yourselves.

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Fml

        1. Les Bleus
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Not really sure what to do now and he will surely drop in price

      2. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I have no shame holding my hands up.

      3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years

        o/

      4. Licious Lizard
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Shipped him before GW 3 to get Alonso

      5. AC Me Rollin
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Imagine supporting united

        1. Butcher
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          People quick to criticise when United at a low but were hiding when they were winning titles on the bounce.

          Typical

      6. Gooner Kebab
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Taken him out this week. Good riddance.

      7. Lilac Breasted Roller
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Is this the Bad Decisions Support Group? Reporting in

      8. reddragons178
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yep...But got him out before this GW to fund Alonso.

      Bavies inc 😀

    15. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

    18. Limbo

      Rose -> Davies

    20. spyda12001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Looking for some insight

      A) Tomkins to Sakho before potential price drop?
      B) Sit tight for more news
      C) Any other 5.0 def on anyone's radar?

    21. adstomko
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Could this be the season that 5-4-1 is actually the best formation?

      1. Four Hit Wonder
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Could be.

    22. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Well done Bavies owners.

    23. Maddi Son
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Bavies 1 point banked.

    24. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      A defender with corners and free kicks is golden.

      Super back 4

      Trippier Alonso Mendy Robertson

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

        Knock and rested for next game? That’s the risk

    25. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Babies 1 pointer blocking a Stephens 2 pointer. 🙁

    26. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Come on Fellaini, do something

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

      So who/what is Mourinho going to blame tonight ?

      1. Fantastisk
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        The boogie.

      2. Licious Lizard
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Fred Gooner for lacking as much creativity as his players?

    28. Fantastisk
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Rose injured, Davies on.

    29. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      YES! 1 point for Davies 😉

      1. Podge
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        wahoo !!
