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.

    !Moura is actually OOP right?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Yes

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Furthest foward anyway

    Woodward only got himself to blame.. need to compete with the likes of liverpool and city in the transfer market and he didn't over the summer.

    1. _nod
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      But we can't even compete with Spurs here who also didn't sign anybody.

      1. seanie3
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Big difference is spurs didn't really need to, utd did. There are no utd players with maybe the exception of DeGea that could walk into the spurs team, however there are at least 4 or 5 spurs players that could walk into the Utd starting 11

    2. Beatle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Plus he appointed a donkey as manager

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

      Maybe there was no money left after they spent £500m on dross?

    4. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Spurs didnt buy anyone

      1. seanie3
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        yes but poch knows they didn't need to, he has great players in his team, where as utd don't.

  3. Rainer

    Never leave Jose 😆 😆 😆

    1. Frank Black
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Mourinho is bored as hell at United. He's already won everything he could won(in general not with United) and he doesn't have real enemies. He's bored and tired and the club certainly didn't help him and the team.

  4. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Captained Lucas on Sky Fantasy :O

  5. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    United look pretty bad.

  6. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Shaw been Utd's best player today.

    1. HamezMace
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Agreed.

    2. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Yep.

  7. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    So glad I didn't jump on the Wally train. Lucas is my man , so glad I waited to watch this game.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      You're just jumping on the next train....

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        I said I wanted him before he even scored

      2. Jayv807
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Exactly....

  8. OldBenKenobi
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Moura has so much gas in the tank. Running machine!

  9. Frank Black
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Lucas is making a strong case to be Richarlison's replacement but remember that Spurs won't play United every week.

  10. aborg
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    ....and to say that I transferred out Lucas Moura for Richarlison this GW!!

    1. MTPockets
      8 years, 21 days ago

      whoops

    2. AnfieldLad
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Same lol

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

      I transfered him out for Bilva after gw1.

    4. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      I done that last week

    5. Totalfootball
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      i transferred both him and jOSH KING

    6. _nod
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      And I was pissed I took a hit to get him in! Thanks for cheering me up a bit.

  11. Taegugk Warrior
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Richarlison => Pedro done....
    Wasting time just for thinking about walcot while richarlison price will be drop...

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

    Who will Jose blame?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Never himself. And that is part of the problem. Pre-Madrid Mourinho would have made changes at HT. Post-Madrid Mourinho is just bitter. Needs to watch videos of his old self from 2003 to get back to how he used to be

    2. seanie3
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      He will make excuses and blame jones and smalling, be interesting to see if directly or indirectly calls them out.

  13. tm245
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Kane didn't even look that great and is still on for 11-12 points.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      dat price tag tho

  14. YouReds
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Rich > Moura for free?

    1. Steve McCroskey
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      100%

  15. Greek Flair
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Gotta feel for the knee-jerkers that put Walcott in so hastily, and now Moura explodes like this in the same price bracket. Playing pretty much CF too

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

      0.5 diff

    2. 420king
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Same price bracket? Then how come I can't afford him?

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

      How do you know what will happen next GW?

  16. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Surely United are just making Moura look better than he really is?

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

      Yep, wouldn’t jump on him just yet

    2. Zladan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Herrera shocking for his first goal, Smalling even worse for his second.

      A bit of both really, he has been good.

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

    Kan Kane lose baps and fall behind Trippier?

  18. King Carlos
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Lucas Moura to Richarlison went well then...

  19. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Well done Captain Harry.

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Yes Sir ! 🙂 Well done.

  20. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Well done Harry my son!

    1st goal 9/2 £££. 🙂

  21. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Moura or Mkhi?

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

      Moura.

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

      Mkhi

    3. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Moura looked great tonight. Spurs got some tough games coming up though

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

    Nice to see spurs have finally started passing the ball to Moura.

  23. waitinginthelonggrass
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Cheapies:

    A) Hennessey Hamer Westwood Walcott

    Or

    B) Ederson Hamer Cairney Kenedy

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

    Kane off now not worth 12.5mil if he is just going to play 89min every game and not even score a hattrick!

    1. HamezMace
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      He’s always a slow starter 😉

  25. dunas_dog

              8 years, 21 days ago

    2. lifes a pitch
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Depends on your current rank...apparantly not many in top 250k own Kane and/or Tripps, Moura.
