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. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      You pretty dumb then..

      Touché ..

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

        An absolute dumbass

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

        tbf it's not as dumb as buying Smith for a hit

        1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Very true.

          In fairness, I looked at it as a -2 (stupidly) as I had no 3rd defender.

          So it was either play with two defenders, or take a punt on someone for a hit and smith looked the best 4.5 bearing in mind Bou upcoming fixtures. Oh well 😆

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

            Yes. Hindsight and all that. I honestly thought you were kidding when you said you bought Smith for a hit so didn’t mean to actually call you dumb

            1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Ah don’t even worry about it I’d normally have laughed, you just caught me at a bad time as I was sulking due to also owning Richarlison and Hamer 😆

  27. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Richarlison to Moura no brainer it looks like.

  28. Schliegs
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I wish Moura didn’t score that, I was going to bring him in and he’d stay under the Radar

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

    Moura is actually OOP right?

  30. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    "sacked in the morning" 😀

    1. Zladan
