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

      B with Mkhi and Moura

  2. Camp No No
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Does anybody else have problems opening the fplstatistics site? If somebody can check, who are about to rise tonight?

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

      very slow

    2. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      It’s super slow

    3. Gruu
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      i do. Is it down right now?

  3. Chi not God
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    What's the average now, anybody?

  4. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Lol here come the Moura bandwagoners

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

      helps when you have him from the start... :mrgreen:

      You back now Camzy? Blackburn fan right?

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Yep. I'm back this season for real.

    2. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      i can't bring Moura again.

  5. FootballPhenomenon
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Should I dumb Jota for Walcott before tonight's possible price rise OR do Jota->Fraser? Fraser's underlying stats look great but does he really have as much fantasy potential as on paper?

    Of course one option would be to just give Jota another chance since I've already lost TV on his price fall.

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Keep or Walcott.
      Probably keep

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

      I actually thought a Jota looked good against City

  6. Thinkering like a Boss
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Richarlison > Moura obvious transfer right?

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

      Is to mr

    2. MTPockets
      8 years, 21 days ago

      apparently

    3. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      If you have jerky knees.

    4. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Away to watford, then home to Liverpool, then son is back
      Hardly obvious

    5. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Knee jerk

    6. captainjilflex
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      i think he could out score walcott. trouble is will son come back into the team?

  7. H149
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    I usually over-think every decision and get as many opinions from ffscout as possible before I go through with it, but I abruptly went with a hunch and went with:
    Aubameyang + Wilshere -> Hazard + Jiminez
    good or nah?

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

      Seems good to me.

  8. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    A) Mitrovic Stephens
    B) Kamara Walcott

    A means 433 most likely, B means 442

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      B
      Good value in defence and Mitro won’t haul every week

  9. Adro3
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Used my FT to swap out Richarlison. Need hits if I have Tomkins and Cairney?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      who do you have on your bench?

      1. Adro3
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Cairney usually first sub. Peltier + Doherty

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

      I have Tomkins as well but I'll hold off on the transfer until we get some details on the injury.

      1. Adro3
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Yeah hope it's only minor. Started well don't want to be taking -4/-8s now!

    3. MarkoSD
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Hold

  10. FPL Forward Thinker
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Want Pedro price up tonight but no Hazard increase please. Then upgrade tomorrow.

  11. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Moura to Mkhi for free on Friday looked like a no brainer ... 🙁

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

      So nearly did that. For some reason I immediately regretted signing him for gw1. Might keep now

    2. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Tough, but Mkhi can outscore Moura with fixtures and Son returning

      1. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Indeed

  12. F4L
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Aside from an injury, what would it take for you to drop Aguero?

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Tbh if Kane becomes essential then I am more likely to ditch Salah

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        maybe. Personally i'll most likely never ditch Salah, but I can see the temptation

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

      A benching

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        im expecting at least 1 once CL starts after Newcastle at home.

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

      Jamie Jackson saying he's nailed.

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

      Signs of slowing down or being rotated while Spurs and Kane hit a good streak.

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

        This, a benching this weekend would start the thinking.

    5. MTPockets
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Repeat blanks, or an asteroid strike.

    6. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Probably 3/4 consecutive blanks especially if against easy opponents

    7. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      String of benchings or poor performances coupled with someone becoming "essential" - thinking Auba or Haz there.

      Must admit I'm a little twitchy on him atm, but would need a very good excuse to ship him.

      After all, he's Aguero.

    8. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      cheers all 🙂

  13. AYLD28

    Bench one:

    1. Ings

  14. Scotty B
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Should I WC this?

    De Gea
    Coleman AWB VVD Mendy
    Walcott Salah Silva Mane

    3. davidmcnamara

    4. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years

      Same as last night. NO!

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

        You obviously want too though so it’s up to you....

  15. Mesh
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Richarlison to?

    A. Walcott
    B. Pedro?

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

      A

    2. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      A. Form, fixtures, nailed.
      Price COULD be going up tonight FYI.

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

        Thanks

  16. The Tinkerman
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Bilva > Moura? (-4)

    Or wait a week

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

      Not worth the hit

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

      lol

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

      I’m gonna do it but not til nearer the deadline

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

        If you do do it, better to do it before his inevitable price rise

    4. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Not unless Pep slaps Bilva during a press conference, while screaming he’s off the team

    5. *Reformed-Character*
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Wait a week for him to play Liverpool?

  17. davidmcnamara
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Bilva -> Moura worth the -4?

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

      No

    2. Adro3
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Nah

    3. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      No

  18. Under my Cucurella
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Usually don't like to WC so early and my team isn't in the worst state... but I'm tempted by the improvements that can be made with a WC now

    (Current team)
    Fab/Foster/
    Mendy/Alonso/*VVD*/*Shaw*/WB
    Salah/*Mane*/*Guendouzi*/Hughes/*Rich*
    Kun/Zaha/*Arnie*

    (WC team)
    Fab/Foster
    Mendy/Alonso/*Robertson*/*Cook*/WB
    Salah/*Hazard*/*Moura*/Hughes/*Elneny*
    Kun/Zaha/*Wilson*

    either that or move Rich to Fraser and free up funds to do Mane to Hazard next GW pending performance?
    or just shift Rich to someone like Walcott or Pedro?

    1. Pompel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Definitely save tiur WC . Rich ro Frasser enough

  19. ididnt
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Glad I kept Moura in

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

      This surprises me

    2. FPL_WILDCARD
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Kept him too! Relieved. Will def keep for Watford now

    3. Nascimento
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      How come mate?

  20. Marvin.
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    So there's no way Hazard rises tonight is there?

  21. Hart-ake
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Spurs fixtures mixed to say the least. Moura is still a decent option, but you can get Mhki, Pedro or Walcott for the same or less money- who are all in form and have good fixtures.

  22. QuintonFortune25
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Richarlison and Bailly to Hazard and Pereira (2FT)?

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

      Yep

      1. QuintonFortune25
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Thanks for help

    2. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      That's really not a bad move.

      1. QuintonFortune25
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Cheers

    3. davidmcnamara
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Do it

      1. QuintonFortune25
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Thanks pal

    4. *Reformed-Character*

    5. Predator
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Pereira has poor fixtures

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

      Absolutely

  23. Chenku╰☆╮
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Rica and Robertson to tripper and Moura. Long terms moves? -4

    1. Pompel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Rich to Moura obly Robbo ti Tripp is too sideways

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

        Daft to lose Robbo

  24. The Tinkerman
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    FPLstats not working for anyone else?

    1. MTPockets
      8 years, 21 days ago

      just slow

  25. stat
    8 years, 21 days ago

    So who thinks that Utd will keep a clean sheet against Burnley?

    1. AC Me Rollin
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      0-0

    2. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Even if you did, how the hell would you choose a defender from that group? Surely Shaw can't keep his place, the centre backs are getting rotated (apparently), and Valencia costs as much as Alonso

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

        If you watched the game, you'd know shaw will keep his place

        1. *Reformed-Character*
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 21 days ago

          This, shaw is looking good

  26. jomikijiq
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    So I've been Moura's biggest advocate during preseason. Have had him for the last 3 gameweeks and very happy with the returns obviously. Not sure you should bring him in now tho if you don't already have him, especially for a FT.

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

      bandwagon has already left the station

    2. MTPockets
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Well done. He didn't even cross my mind.

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

        he had great preseason
        was nailed in advanced position
        and discount price comparing to other Spurs attackers

        but right now I'd be careful with Son coming back and CL starting

        1. MTPockets
          8 years, 21 days ago

          I'm not considering him tbh. Didn't follow PL issues over the summer and that ship has sailed for me for now.

    3. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      An owner talking sense. Good advice imo

  27. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Moura Walcott Pedro or any other mid at 7?

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

      Moura

  28. adstomko
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Wallcott or moura?

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

      Moura

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

    Just waiting now until prices force my hand , but really want to see Lucas in my team now.

  30. Mattrick
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Richarlson likely to have dropped to 6.5 again by return? Or price freeze, never really understand the price freeze bizarreness!

    1. Y26 Royal
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Yeah me neither! I was hoping for a few drops as i never had the chance to get him in. Be good to get him on back at original price!
