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.

    2. GP 50
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      took a hit to replace Moura with Mkhi.. figured Mkhi against horrendous West Ham defense at home is better than Moura at Old Trafford..

      1. Winning11
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        yup. same thinking

  7. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE

    You know United are a shambles when Kane registers an assist against you.

      Until I sold for Richa this week

  9. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    I got a player who recently scored to replace Richarlison, but now want a different player who also recently scored to replace Richarlison.

    Seems to be the gist around this place!

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Points chaser

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Oh you meant it like that. My bad. Have an upvote

    2. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      If anything it'll sober down the Wally price chasers. It's usually the problem when you play prices. Someone else always comes along

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

    Got Tomkins and Cairney. Used my FT to swap out Richarlison. Hits needed?

  11. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    post match interview with jose should be good after that bizarre applauding

    1. mir
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Was he not just applauding those who stayed to the end? I kind of like that! - Liverpool fan by the way but yes looking forward to the post match interview.

    2. RÏɠBY
      • 14 Years

      more like el douche than il duce 🙂

  12. schlupptheweek
    • 11 Years

    I'd just like to thank Danny Rose for the Moura haul!

  13. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    If Spurs are going to be title contenders they will need to reinforce in January. Levy should be getting the cheque book ready and planning now.

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Wanyama Lamela Son?

  14. waitinginthelonggrass
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Mhki Moura Walcott

    Or

    Hazard Cairney Kenedy

    1. Greek Flair
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      A is a LOT more balanced, Cairney and Kenedy should be bench fodder only

      1. waitinginthelonggrass
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        That’s my thinking. Hazard just consumes so much of the budget not sure he is worth it in terms of overall team balance

    2. dan_247

      7 years, 8 months ago

      Prefer a

  15. _Greg
    • 16 Years

    Just wondering whether to chance Trip or not. Still a risk.

  16. Rainer

    Top 10k up about 2 points today.
    Overall up about 9.

    1. mir
      • 16 Years

      ouch as a non owner of anyone tonight

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      good riddance

  17. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    What are you it’s doing with DDG?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      What are you guys**

      1. trikster102
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Using my WC and getting rid for Ederson.

    2. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I sold him before this game. He cannot do it all on his own.

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Agreed. Defense letting him down big time

      2. *Reformed-Character*
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        He’s personally been at fault last 2 games...

  18. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    @Limbo. How did your bet go today?

  19. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Was certain we'd lose tonight. Surprised at the starting line up but in the end it didn't matter. Writing is on the wall for Mourinho.

    I guess I should mention Lucas Moura saviour of my gameweek. But still United FFS.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      If Allardyce or Pulis were in charge, Utd would keep clean sheets

    2. _nod
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      As bad as the defense was at Brighton, we always seem to to be worse without Bailly can't believe he wasn't there.

  20. Skalla
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    City out of the top 4! The only good news for a United fan tonight...

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

    Moura is so natural in this team alingside Kane

  22. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Mourinho is a disgrace in fairness. £300m of players & he serves up dirge game after game.

    Good riddance imo

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Should have gone at the end of last season. No trophies and rubbish football should be enough.

      1. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        He got a contract extension 😀

      2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        totally agree. its not a knee jerk becuase of tonight, but Pochettino would be a perfect fit at old trafford. Fergie took him to luch a few years ago to plant the seeds too

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          *lunch

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      actually £300m is a massive understatement

      Kaku, Alexis, Pogba were £200m between them

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

        Sanchez didn't cost a transfer fee tbf

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Ok so bought Mkhi for 40m and used him as Sanchez make weight, either way it’s still mega bucks

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Disgraceful. So glad the board didn't let him waste more money

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        compare his football to Klopp, Pep, Poch - he is light years behind - needs to go imo

  23. BadgersBoys
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    So what sort of drop are we looking with no Spurs/Utd? 2k? 100k?

  24. chelseabrad
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    2FT 0.9 ITB

    Ederson (Fabianski)
    Azpi Trippier Alex-Arnold Wan-Bisaka (Cedric)
    Salah D.Silva Richarlison (Neves Kenedy)
    Aguero Zaha Arnie

    Richarlison to Walcott? Arnie out? D.Silva out? Cheers, a bit stuck this week after a great start and a drop this week

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Rich, Azpi to Alonso, Walcott if you can?

  25. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Thinking of going:

    Fabianski
    Robertson Mendy Alonso Trippier AWB
    Salah DSilva Mhki Kante Stephens
    Aguero Zaha Mitrovic

    But Stephens Mitro or Walcott Kamara?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Guendouzi, Mitro lol

  26. Gini's Wish
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Stick or twist with Eriksen? 1ft 0.1itb

    1. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Twist

    2. osceola31909
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Twist. He is nowhere near as valuable with Tripper taking free kicks and corners .

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Stick!

    4. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Get Dele instead

  27. CYN
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    best 4.5 GK for the foreseeable future?

    thinking Hennessey but is he nailed?

  28. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Feel like I was watching the Gladiator...

    Half expect Mourinho to say;

    "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?" 😀

  29. Limbo
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    So many FFS picks preseason have done it this year.

    Moura. Richa. Mendy. TAA. Robbo. Holebas. Ederson. Mane. Arnie. Zaha.
