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.

    Have all the Rich to Moura posters even checked his price?

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 7 months ago

        But it sounds so great just hypothetically typed out...

    2. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Was set to bring in Robertson, but is Trippier just a good shout given the better fixtures?

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

      looking forward to hearing Mourinho using lack of transfers as an excuse after losing 3-0 to a team with 0 transfers

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

      Already done Richarlison > Walcott. Hmm, good think i already own Lucas, shame hes warming up my bench

    5. diesel001

      Spurs fans singing 'There's only one Lucas Moura'

      1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Google suggests otherwise

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

      Mourinho gone in 2 more games I reckon

    7. Ibra
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Is Alonso-Mendy-Robertson-Bavies too much on defence?

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

        Yes

      2. Pigsinblankets
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        No, back four even five could be the way to go. Prefer Trippier to Davies though

      3. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        absolutely not

    8. Adro3
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Moura to Mkhitaryan paid off. And Lamela got injured in the warm-up, could've been 70+ point week. :/

    9. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      What about tom Cairney?how long is he out for?cheers

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

    11. Skokym
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

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

        Surely yes

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

        Yes

        And Lamela

      3. Chip Butty
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Wouldn't have thought so after tonight

      4. Skokym
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        thx

      5. Nicks93
        • 12 Years

        Yes

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

      Luiz to Trippier looks good after this GW

      1. Park the bus
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        if he wasnt injured....

    13. Chip Butty
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      B Silva --> Moura? (2nd FT)

      Already went with Richarlison --> Mkhi

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I’m considering for a hit

      2. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        He won’t play Manu every week

      3. Sandy Ravage
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        also considering that. Reckon Aguero will be enough City cover for NEW

      4. antis0cial
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Considering same move, also frees up money. Not sure if he will be rotated a lot when Son / Lamela available. But b.silva is rotation risk anyway

    14. 420king
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Can someone teach me how to do Rich to Moura with 0 ITB? 🙁

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

      Has there been a fire alarm at Old Trafford? lots of empty seats.

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Last train to London leaves at 10.

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

          haha - too true 😀

      2. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        No trains from London today so lots haven't made the journey

    16. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years

      All aboard! The next bandwagons are about to depart from the station.

    17. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      ...Why the defence went from being the best in the league to the worst in span of months?? 6 goals in 2 matches ffs

      So many questions..

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

        Bailly and Jones won 90% of matches, no other duo got to 55%

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

      2 shots, not worth 7 mill

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Won't play United every week.

      2. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

      Wow
      Hello Lucas Moura, goodbye Richarlison.

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

      Embarrassing. This looks worse for mou than when Chelsea nosedived a few seasons back.

    23. krumcake
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Doing Rich --> Lucas. Had 0.4 in bank from losing value on Jota last week 'o'

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

      Moura’s only had 2 shots on target?! Wtf. Won’t bringing him in then.

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I take it you’ve not watched the game?

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

          Watched it

          1. Smurf
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Awful conclusion then. He was great all throughout, shots or not.

      2. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Walcott had 1, in case you’re buying him instead 🙂

    25. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Who’s the priority?

      A) Moura

      Or

      B) A Burnley attacker with Man Utd at home next.

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

        B

      2. Mysterion

      3. Cowboy John
        • 13 Years

        B

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

        It's like when Derby County got promoted.

    26. waitinginthelonggrass
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Cheapies:

      A) Hennessey Hamer Westwood Walcott.

      Or

      B) Ederson Hamer Cairney Kenedy.

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

      Spurs new signings have made the difference!

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

        Mourinho will tell us it's the lack of signings for him that caused it.

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

          Yup

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

      Is Granville on here? Show yourself and defend DDG! I remember this time last season when you told the rest of the Scoutcast "you'll all end up getting him". You convinced and now I've jinxed him for you!

    29. Peter Ouch
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I had moura and got Madisson for -4.
      Now crying in my pillow

      Wowza Moura!
