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.

    How’s the WC looking currently?

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

    Leaves about 0.5ITB too

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

      Tad too heavy on defence for my money...

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

      Current proposed moves are Auba 🙁 Bennett Kamara out

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

      Defence is amazing but could lose Trippier and upgrade elsewhere

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

        This

    That awkward moment when your 6m keeper scored as many points in 90 mins as your 4m keeper does in 12...

    1. stat
      8 years, 21 days ago

      As someone who started Hamer over DDG, I'm angry that I correctly predicted that Huddersfield would keep a CS but wasn't rewarded for it, but I'm relieved that DDG only got 1 point.

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

        They could have conceded if Hamer played all 90

        1. stat
          8 years, 21 days ago

          Come on, he's not that bad 🙂

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

            😛

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

    Have the Richarlison issue to sort out, but: Auba - keep or sell? Have Agüero.

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

      I'm in the same situation- two free transfers?

      I'm considering dumping both and getting Hazard in?

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

        Looking at Hazard too, but only have the one free transfer myself.

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

          Yep, I only have the one FT.

          My thoughts are- Auba and Rich out for Hazard and Zaha (or maybe Mitrovic.

          It looks like a good move on paper, but worry about Auba punishing at the weekend.

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

            That's my worry, as well. 50/50 if giving him the Cardiff game is good or not. Can see Cardiff playing a very defensive game.

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

      I've kept Auba and also got in Aguero. Couple more weeks for me until I can wiggle Kane in for him.

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

        That's a good plan. Taking the chance waiting for Kane, much because of the price.

        We really need to see somthing from Aubameyang soon, though. Looking at all that cash that could be spent elsewhere is difficult.

      2. Khark
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Would never normally advise on knee jerk transfers but if you’re overall plan is to get Kane for Auba you might wanna look at it now before Auba loses value

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

          I get ya but the problem is I've had too many other problems to deal with! If he blanks against Cardiff I'll get shot and will have to delay Kane for a bit or poss wild card.

  4. Slitherene
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    For a - 4?

    Bilva + Firmino to Hazard + Wilson?

    Knee jerk?

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

      Yes

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

      Or save the - 4 and do the transfers next week with both already risen by a combined 0.2?

    3. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      It's not a knee jerk at all.
      Great transfers, they are in form and have good fixtures.
      Bilva not that good fantasy wise and you can sell Firmino now if you have Salah, tougher fixtures coming up.

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

    Great Shaw in awful mutd side.
    On top of that, Mourinho hugs him at the end

  6. MMN
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Who’s next two are easier from an attacking point of view?

    A) Walcott (HUD, WHU)

    Or

    B) Pedro (BOU, CAR)

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      A

    2. stat
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Definitely A

      Bournemouth and Cardiff have looked decent defensively

    3. MMN
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Do the stats back that?

  7. Mr. Jenkins
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    It might be my knees, but i'm trying to squeeze anther million out of my team to make Auba-Kane on a WC.

    Foster/Fab
    Alonso, Mendy, TAA, WanB, Bennet
    Mane, Mkhi, Hazard, Cairney, Walcott
    Kamara, Agüero, Kane

    negative 1m in the bank.

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

      spread Mane money around the team

    2. Yes Don
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      miki to fraser

    3. AndyCook
      8 years, 21 days ago

      0.5 from your keepers by getting Hamer and 0.5 from Cairney but you need to lose Mane or Mkhi really as you don’t have 11 decent starters

  8. Ibra
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    Just don't know what to do.

    A) Tosun, Pedro & Monreal (already have Alonso and Hazard from Chelsea)
    B) Wilson, Moura & Trippier

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

    2 FT 0.8 itb

    Richarlison > Walcott
    Mane > Hazard

    Good move?

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

      Outstanding

    2. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Not sure on the Hazard move

    3. SPorting
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      As good as any I’ve seen today.

    4. tom2224
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 21 days ago

      Why people getting rid of mane?

  10. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    A Richarlison to Moura and
    Tomkins to Bennett (Wolves) for team below -4

    B Richarlison to Walcott for free and keep Tomkins on bench

    C Richarlison to Fraser and Mané to Hazard

    Patricio
    Alonso Van Dijk Mendy
    Salah Mané Moura* BSilva
    Aguero Mitrovic Ings

    Foster Wan-Bissaka Bennett* Billing

  11. SPorting
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 21 days ago

    OK, you drunken mob, complete this ensemble:

    Henne, Hamer
    Mendy, Alonso, AWB, Bennett
    Salah, Haz, Mkhi, Moura, Neves
    Kun, Mitro

    A) Robbo + Kamara
    B) TAA + Jimenez

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

      A for me

      1. Calderano FC
        • 16 Years

        Ditto

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

      B.

      Kamara riskey pick. TAA could get an assist - been a threat. Jimenez looks great.

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

        Hes fodder

        1. Limbo
          • 16 Years

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

      Shaw looks decent

        De Gea is reason enough for a WC

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

      4 bench players on that list.
      Bilva is surely good for another week or two.
      Arnie might be fit to start
      Rich should go
      DDG can be kept another week, but need to go soon

    That became a very fiery press conference. Mourinho ended it by saying "Do you know what 3-0 means? Three Premier League titles I have won, more than all the other 19 Premier League managers combined. Have some respect."

    1. Rotation's Alter Ego

      The media is wrong I can see why he’s getting annoyed. United are clearly still together behind each other ... the problem is they’re useless and can’t play football haha

      1. BUZZBOMB ♡
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 21 days ago

        Absolutely true. Coupled to the fact that the self proclaimed "Greatest Club Team in the World"'s manager of the "only sporting global brand" has just been gubbed again. Jose can't deal with pressure. Sings when he's winning but gets paid to be more than that. Its the fans who pay who I again feel sorry for.

    3. Y26 Royal
