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.

    Didn't see game Moura fever seems insane for 2 shots 2 goals

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He was one to get before he even scored the first

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I commented on him in the first half

        Ok captain hindsight

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 12 Years

          I Did actually say it before he scored

            • 9 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Guys, the problem lie with manutd centre back that are just clowns, not because moura is good. btw watford might stun spurs.

            1. Dynamic Duos
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              My transfer is done

              This... Even Murray looked like he was a future Ballon D'or winner vs Man Utd.

    Trying not to take a hit for Ings --> Mitrovic

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years

      Best waiting until after the City game mate, it's what i'm doing anyway

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

      Don't tell me you bought Ings last week?

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Wait for GW6, really not difficult

    4. bigbudgie
      • 11 Years

      Chasing third striker points is one of the least rewarding things on planet earth

  5. Afghanistanislas
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    How long would you expect Moura to stay in the team for?

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

      hard to say , his goals tonight bought him some time , he wont be dropped as long as he keeps performing

  6. Schwarzer
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Shaw (bur) > Alonso (BUR)
    Richarlison > Neves/5.1 (whm)

    (-4)

    Would you stick or twist? Shaw potentially injured (?) and United in a mess, Richarlison out, decent fixtures for Chelsea.

    Cheers

  7. JasonG123
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Which move?
    (A) PvA to Alonso (play Wan-Bissaka [and Ings] to cover Richarlison)
    (B) Richarlison to Moura (bench Wan-Bissaka [or Ings])

    1. Schwarzer
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      A

  8. Rust Cohle
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Is Bailly dropped indefinitely? What’s the story? Was occupied all weekend and missed the news

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

      I mean it's not like the players that came in performed well... he could easily play again next weekend - Uniteds backline a merry go round

  9. Nigawan
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Is it time to say good bye to Mo Salah and bring in Harry Kane?

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

      Gw 7 and 8

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3. Willmissudimitrypayet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Before gw7, yes. Not now imo

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

      It's never time to say goodbye to Mo Salah, unless he's injured.

    5. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      You can have Sala, Kane and Aguero as long as you don't have another expensive mid (like Mane or Hazard)

    What do you think ?

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

      Horrible. 2 man midfield in fantasy sorry and Hazard is a troll that will only disappoint

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

        Disagree. Fraser and Neves are not bench fodders just for next week. As for Alonso, gonna get him in for Luiz by doing VVD to TAA.

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

      Only good thing about Chelsea defence atm is Alonso no one else

  13. Willmissudimitrypayet
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Brought in Hazard and Fraser for Mane and Richarlison(-4). How big of a clown am I?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

      60%

        60% clown? I can live with that. So 40% chance I am a genious?

    2. Willmissudimitrypayet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Currently 18K in the world. Green or red arrow next week you think?

      Pickford
      Alonso, Mendy, Robertson, PVA, AWB
      Salah, Hazard, Mkhi
      Aguero (c), Zaha

      Fraser, Kamara, Stephens, Stekelenburg

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

      Why not just Rich>Fraser?

      1. Willmissudimitrypayet
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I think Hazard will outscore Mane over the coming weeks and looking to ship out all Pool for their difficult fixtures and less than concincing form.

  14. L'Aeroplanino
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    can't decide guys, and walcott is rising soon:

    Mkhitaryan Salah Mane Richarlison* Stephens
    Kun Zaha Ings

    0itb 1FT

    a. save FT and play Tomkins/AWB (2FTs into intl. break)
    b. Rich -> Walcott
    c. Rich -> 5.5/5.6 (Gundog/Fraser) and save funds for future upgrade (Hazard/Kane)

    Thanks

  15. Chromehound
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Richarson > Walcott, Pedro or Moura?

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Long term - Moura.

      1. Chromehound

      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      That seems so marginal & sideways.

      You must have a really sweet team for the next 2,3 gw to do that.

    2. Willmissudimitrypayet

      I went from 352 to 541 this upcoming week.

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

        Some nice home fixtures for the defence this week. I’d planned to bring in AWB for TAA this week, but Richarlison put pay to that. Now I have double Liverpool at Leicester. At least Vardy is still banned so they might keep a CS.

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Bizarre team

      1. noahzark22
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        i like it

      2. firetog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        It’s a bit of a guessing game each week in terms of who to bench but so far I’ve been guessing right. Except week 1 where I benched Mendy with 15 points.

  25. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    -4 TAA>Bennett for Rich>Moura? Didn't realise he scored last game and up front in both

  26. Magpies4ever
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Arnie and Richarlison to Mitro and Mkhi for a -4 ?

  27. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Already got Salah, Moura, Kun, Zaha... 1 FT
    A) Firminho, Rich > Hazard, Jimenez (0.8 ITB)
    B) Firminho, Rich > Hazard, Wilson (0.3 ITB)
    C) Suggest other

  28. noahzark22
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    For my FT can take out Gudmundsson and have 8.5 ITB.

    Pogba? Another budget mid?

    Salah, Walcott, Mkhi, Eriksen are my other mids.

    1. Willmissudimitrypayet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Pogba? Lol. I would go Hazard and downgrade Eriksen to Pedro or Fraser.

      1. noahzark22
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        but that requires to moves and I only have one FT

  29. bigbudgie
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Hamer Cairney Tomkins Peltier - first three yellow flagged the 4th dropped...
    Who has a better bench than that? 🙂

    1. firetog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Which 3 would you start?

    1) Shaw
    2) Robertson
    3) Mendy
    4) AWB
    5) Tomkins
