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.

    Mane or Hazard on WC

    1. tafrère
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Hazard.

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Hazard

    3. waitinginthelonggrass
      • 15 Years

      Cheers

  2. DR0GBA

    Bottomed

    Mane + Bilva + Rich > Hazard + Walcott + Pedro (-8)??

    A) Yes
    B) No

    Mane's statistics away from home against the top 6 (which he has 2 of in the next 4) is awful, so worth getting rid for Eden?

    Or I could take a -4 and do Mane + Richarlison > Hazard + Fraser (-4)

    1. waitinginthelonggrass
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I like the transfers but find it very hard to justify an 8 point hit

      1. DR0GBA
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        How about

        Salah + Richarlison > Hazard + Alli (anyone at 9.1m or below) (-4)?

        1. ZLNR
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          I actually like this.

          I mean I'm on the Salah > Mane team but I think the points will come to both and having one is essential not both

        2. F_Ivanovic
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Nope... I toyed with getting rid of Salah for Hazard and getting Mane in but Salah is too essential - most consistent FPL player by far and it's only a matter of time before he gets a haul.

  3. Woy_is_back
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Bottomed

    Richa-> Walcott or Richa->Gundogan?

    Second one gives me the opportunity to switch Auba to Kane

  4. H149
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Alright so who should I put in goal for a WC team:
    A) Joe Hart
    B) David Seaman
    C) Andre Moreira

    1. Jay_
      7 years, 11 months ago

      D) Luis Chilavert (value at 7.5m)

  5. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    when hazard will rise ?

    1. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Tonight

    2. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Looks odds on for tonight.

  6. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    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 this gw. bench robbo (spurs) next gw
    B: Rich >> Walcott / Siggy / Bilva / Moura (-4)
    C: King >> Wilson/Mitro (-4)

    If B, which mid?

  7. arndff_
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    A) Richa > Walcott
    B) Richa, Eriksen > X, Hazard (-4)

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      A
      Not worth a hit either

  8. Marvin.
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Will both Mane and Hazard rise? I need this to happen really so I don't have to take a hit and get Hazard in next week with 2 ft.

  9. wagner is king
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    wild card or not?

    alison hamer*

    shaw* mendy robo alonso wan B

    miki salah jota* rich* gudarson*

    aguero king* arnie*

    1. tafrère
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I think you can fix your midfield with a hit.

    2. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      No need to wilcard that lot.
      Arnie may be fit too.
      Just ship Rich (and Gud if Arnie isn’t fit)
      Jota looked decent too against city

  10. Sepp Blattered
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone getting rid of Salah for Hazard?

    1. DR0GBA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Thinking about it, just trying to work out how to get rid of Richarlison at the same time and how to make most of the transfers and the hit

    2. zizzou123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Hazard was pretty anonymous apart from the pen. Too early for sure.

      1. DR0GBA
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        against Bournemouth at home though

      2. Ghost Gooner
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Did you watch the game? Everthing was going through him

      3. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Did you watch the match? just the 140 touches...….

    3. langey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yep, I have.

    4. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Done

  11. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    walcott rising tonight most likely and just enough funds to do richa to walcott but it feels ssoooo wrong. ....

    1. rocky7st
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      He's a big troll, a bit like Haz

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I know but just do it. Just done it myself and feels OK the other side.......

    3. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Haha
      Still think he is the clear choice. Huds at home next / yum yum

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

    If on WC,

    Get Hazard now or risk it to try and get an extra 0.1 after Mane’s rise?

    1. MattysFantasyFooty
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I done the transfer wasn’t going to take the risk

    2. jomikijiq
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Get both now and transfer out salah
      transfer in salah after manes rise

      1. davies
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Genius

  13. Khark
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    So I’ve finished the gameweek with 48 points.

    No more like this please fantasy gods. Absolute nightmare. Hate going under 65 points and ideally like 70+ to be completely happy.

    1. firetog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Did you average between 65 and 70 points per week in previous seasons ?

      1. Bad Kompany
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        This. If you did you would have won it all.

      2. Khark
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I haven’t said I get them every week it’s just what I like.

        I’ve finished the last 2 seasons with just under 2300 points so it’s just short of 65 a week

        1. firetog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          nice ! What’s you’re FPL I’d ?

  14. rocky7st
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Is PVA worth keeping on WC with those fixtures?

    1. The Yorkshire Pirlo
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Palace double up with Wan-B for me.

    2. Flycroft
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I'm sitting tight. There has to be attacking points there

  15. Gringo Kid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Wildcarding

    Would you rather go Mkhi+Jimenez or Gray+Zaha

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Probably Mkhi, Jiminez

  16. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Mane and Richarlison -> Hazard and Walcott?

    Have Arnie so would have to take a -4 if he seems to be out, or play AWB

    1. MattysFantasyFooty
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Moves look good

    2. Flycroft
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Why would you want to lose Mane?

    3. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Good moves
      I’m hoping Arnie will be fit - definitely for GW 5 it seems

  17. Jay_
    7 years, 11 months ago

    If I go out of LMS in gw3 after going out gw1 last year I’ll be sick. Come on auto subs and TM.

    1. MattysFantasyFooty
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Anyone know the current safety score

      1. Jay_
        7 years, 11 months ago

        33 before tonight’s game. 37-38 my guess. But 39 wouldn’t surprise me.

    2. DJDave1979
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I think my goose is cooked. Which is annoying given I've actually had a good start to the season!

      1. Jay_
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Think there’ll be a lot of pri*ks (inc me) with AWB playing and a little sub. That and Spurs tonight has probably buried ya. Hope I’m wrong. GL.

    3. Bragazeti
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Next season is probably your time to shine if you won't nick it in

      1. Jay_
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Gw4 here I come

  18. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Anything worth a hit? 0.5 ITB

    Looking at Spurs, Mitro/Wilson.

    Patricio
    Alonso, Mendy, Robbo, PVA, Wan-B
    Salah, Bilva, Hazard(VC)
    Aguero(C), Zaha

    Stekelenburg, Cairney, Stephens, Kamara

  19. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Kane scoring twice in August augars well forthwith.

    Scared?

    1. MattysFantasyFooty
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      No there is so many premium options this year it’s crazy

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        You should be scared.

        Very Scared. 😯

    2. MTPockets
      7 years, 11 months ago

      nope

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Lie detector ?

        1. MTPockets
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Not interested until I'd captain him.

          1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            OK 😉

  20. cjhewitt92
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Any news on Arnie yet I think saw out of cup game that all

    If fit looking for third striker own Zaha have 7 mil to spend which one

    Arnie
    Tosun - Everton looks good attacking
    Wilson - tough game against Chelsea

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      They will be assessing him in the coming days.
      Should at least be ready for GW 5

      1. cjhewitt92
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Would you bring him and bench him or go with someone else

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Wouldn’t bring him in if not fit for GW 4.
          But I’m hoping he is

  21. barcaa7
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    moura or walcott

    1. Khark
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Still think Walcott with fixtures personally

    2. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Walcott
      Better fixtues and nailed longer if it comes to that

  22. crazysnakeman
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    What do you guys think? Mitro or Wilson on WC

    1. Flycroft
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Both? They're both looking to be great value picks

      1. crazysnakeman
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        true but might not be able to fit both

    2. rocky7st
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Would go Mitro just, Wilson without penalties pegs him back

      1. Hulk Smash
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Is Mitrovic on pens?

        1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          I think so

      2. crazysnakeman
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks. Think I'll go with Mitro

  23. Shardlow
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Thinking that Ive got to decide tonight because of the rises! Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    A. Rich > Wally
    B. Rich > Pedro
    C. Rich > Moura
    D. Luiz, Rich > Alonso, Fraser/Other (-4), would probably play Fraser every week...

    Patricio (Hamer)
    Mendy, Luiz, Robertson (Wan-B, Peltier)
    Salah, Bilva, Mhiki, Rich* (Hudson-Odoi)
    Firm, Aguero, King
    1 FT, 0.4 ITB

    1. Dele
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      D because Alonso.

      1. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Tbh I'd consider this.

    3. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      A

    4. Khark
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B isn’t an option and C is knee jerk on tonight.

      A or D ... Just because I don’t like hits Unless completely necessary so I’d probably say A .. just.

      1. Shardlow
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Good logic, I'll go with that!

    5. DJDave1979
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      A

  24. I Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Richarlison safe for the night yeah?

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      As houses.

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Ye should be

  25. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Hazard's looking so sharp.

    A) Mane and Rich > Hazard and Fraser (-4)

    B) Rich > Fraser (and aim to do Mane to Haz next week, best laid plans and all that...)

    C) Rich > Walcott

    D) Rich > Moura

    Interested to hear people's opinions. Actually leaning to A...

    1. crazysnakeman
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B but monitor the price so you can try to get him before the increase

    2. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      A or C
      A little risky for a hit
      C safe option

    3. Under my Cucurella
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I've been torn between A and B for days now... the question is will Hazard against BM outscore Mane against Leicester by 4 or more?

      lucky there is a 0.1 gap between doing Mane>Hazard after Rich>Fraser so in theory can still do it after the price rise tonight

  26. Skalla
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Jose storming out of the press conference, think only Shaw is safe to start the next game after that performance!

    1. DJDave1979
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      He's gone from snubbed to favourite son.

      In fairness, what Jose said was right. He was still running after the rest of the shower had checked out.

  27. DR0GBA
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    A) Salah > Hazard (bench Richarlison and play WBA)
    B) Mane + Richarlison > Hazard + Fraser (-4)
    C) Richarlison > Walcott/Pedro
    D) Mane + Richarlison + Bilva > Hazard + Pedro + Walcott (-8)

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B or C
      B risky for a hit
      C safe option with Walcott

  28. Dele
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Can’t make up my mind on Pedro.

    I know it’s between him and Willian for that spot. Just feel Sarri prefers Pedro at the mo?

    1. DR0GBA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      not sure tbh Willian could start on the right next game for all we know

      but since Sarri played Pedro at RW when Willian was on the pitch in the previous games it makes me think he's the preferred RW with Eden at LW

    2. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      My doubts are just why would Willian stay if he’s only to be a bench player...

  29. Von Lipwig
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Best 4.5m defender? Westwood/Schneiderlin/Stephens?

    1. Von Lipwig
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I meant Midfielders of course

      Just to play devil's advocate getting Holebas could be a good option to keep a balanced team instead of the 3 premium defenders. Depends how the rest of your team is

          Honestly I haven't looked at him in detail but both Watford fullbacks got returns that's where he'll pick up points as well as odd CSs
