Fantasy managers back Spurs over Man United in Monday Night Football

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 tomkins, rich, firmino > alonso, lucas, zaha for -4 hit as some of you guys might know from my recent post. My team for this week is:
    Foster
    Mendy Alonso AWB
    Salah Bsilva Moura Mkhi
    Kun(C) Zaha King

    Bench: Cairney, Cook, Bednarek
    Not particularly happy with goalie this week and king. Probably will use my WC soon in the next few weeks. But generally good to go? Thanks for any advice!

      Team looks cool, hope you do well, goes directly opposite a main strategy. You will have a wonderful, high priced bench each week and only have two big hitters rather than three. Let's see if that outstanding back line can be a collective third big hitter with bonus points galore. Keep us posted on the technique. Good luck. .

      I think team is a disaster waiting to happen. Looks a squad to wildcard from, not to. Everton have a poor defence so Pickford needs to go. Laporte is a big rotation worry so he needs to go also. Bednarek not exactly first choice either and is a pretty poor player at this level, get rid. You also seem to have forgotten about the best attacker in the league, Salah. Pick a squad of nailed on players rather trying to be fancy. After all, this is one of your two most powerful chips of the season so there should absolutely no risks or punts whatsoever.

      Good but too much spent on defence and wouldn't double Chelsea defence. Where are you from?
