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.

      Did Bavies to Alonso. That is a win for this GW at least.

    4. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 15 Years

      He’ll be out for six months no doubt.

      Shame as he looked good last week. Was thinking of bringing him in...

    0FT and 1.3m itb. ideas?

    Patricio -- Foster
    Mendy Alonso Robbo Shaw --- Awb
    Salah Mkhi Pedro Rich --- Stephens
    Kun Zaha -- King

    A: Stick and bench Rich ahead of King. Can bench him easily till his return in gw6 (but eve play arsenal in gw6 so he misses 3 gw's effectively)
    B: Rich >> Walcott / Siggy / Bilva (-4)
    C: King >> Wilson/Mitro (-4)

    Mouth breather to destroy the template tonight?

    1. Ha.
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Only 4 goals will do that

  8. Powell
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    I need some advice from the wonderful community...

    Getting Kane in GW6, but need a two-week punt until then. Gabby Jesus or Lukaku?

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Lukaku, burnley are not good at the moment and won't be for a while. kaku is also a good player even if others think he's not

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

        Aye, I think they’re two great fixtures.

    2. AndyCook
      8 years, 21 days ago

      None of them, maybe Lukaku at a push

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      I hate both but if pressed Lukaku. At whose expense?

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

        Would be Aubameyang, but Arsenal look terrible. Leaning towards Big Rom, but keep thinking Pep will replicate Huddersfield line-up

    4. JurgenRocks
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Neither

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

      Lukaku a better option out of those two

    6. Rt505
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Aguero. If you’ve already got him then Aubameyang

  9. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Spurs were 1-0 up at this stage at Wembley last season

  10. Ginkapo FPL
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Son is into the semi finals. Facing Syria or Vietnam in the next round so finals should be assured. Needs a gold medal.

    1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Is he jailed if they don’t win?

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        2 year military service. Can also win next years asian cup.

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

      https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45277281

      Make it to the final and they will play Japan, UAE or North Korea.

      Japan won't be an easy game for them.

    3. Fantastisk
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Or what?

      Wenger?

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        retired??

        1. Licky
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 21 days ago

          I don't think he's retired.

          1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 21 days ago

            He isn’t. Spent 10 years convincing Arsenal how he could move to any club in the world and he was so highly rated everywhere but can’t get a job. Worked though, for a long time was the second highest paid manager in the world.

    Shaw/Valencia wingbacks

  15. Dannyb

    Just realised Davies isn't playing. So Davies and Mane to Hazard and ??? Got like 5m to spend I think.

    1. AndyCook
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Shaw

      1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 15 Years

        Mourinho hates shaw from turning him down at Chelsea. First chance he gets he’ll drop him.

      My defence of Mendy, Robbo, Shaw and Bertrand has been doing the business so far

    3. Fred54

    Is Moura the fastest player in the league?

    1. Rainer

      The one thats balding the fastest maybe.

      1. Ha.

  18. Costa Nostra

    • 12 Years

    A 1-1 draw with goals by Fred and Dier would be amazing for several reasons, none better than the thousands of posts this week asking if they should bring them in for Richarlison!!

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      So true.

      He prob only starts 2 or 3 outta those fixtures....a strong bench is a must if picking him

    2. AndyCook
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Rotation risk too high for his price probably

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam

  20. Rt505

    Mane out for Hazard?

    Really want to bring Hazard in, but I can’t do it without losing Mane.

    1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
      • 16 Years

      Never trust hazard

      1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        I’m thinking this too. I’m getting seduced by the difference he seems to make coming on and the fixtures but I’ve been here before last season. It’s a trap.

    2. Klip Klopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Jones can never look badass. He’ll always look like lenny from “Mice and Men”, a lump who looks like he works as a farm hand and chews straw.

    A. D.Luiz + Richarlson --> Alonso + Pereyra for a -4
    B. Richarlson --> Walcott for free

  27. GlasgowFF
    • 15 Years

    Think it's shocking that Spurs started Lloris. What message does that give? There are very few classes of criminal lower than a drink driver.

    1. Fantastisk
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Do you happen to have Alonso: your team?

      1. Fantastisk

        In your team

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

      That the rich are above the law. Nothing new there.

    3. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Now this I agree with. I don’t think jokes are off limits but Spurs showing a small club mentality again.

      NO side should be playing somebody caught doing this. And he was caught. It’s not an “innocent until proven guilty” issue. They are implicitly condoning it when regular people face a criminal record and almost certainly losing their job.

    4. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Put it this way, what would the tabs say if Pickford was caught drink driving and Southgate played him? What would the public say? It’s indefensible.

  28. Ghost Ship
