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!

        cheers mate

  2. mikess
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Quite fancy Mane & Richarlison > Fraser/Gundogan & Hazard -4

    Thoughts?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      If you have salah then do it

  3. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years

    What are peoples thoughts on jimenez or traore for wolves?? Jimenez could be a punt for 5.5 mil considering their fixtures

    1. Ohh1454
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Ya jimenez looks a decent shout

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

        yeh jimenez could be a good one for next few weeks

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

      Yes_Jimenez.

      Think Wolves will kick on now after settling in to the Prem and they
      understand there is not too much difference from the chumps they were playing in the Championship......

  4. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    So my transfers were
    Bailly Moura King to Ings Mkhi Alonso (-4)

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

      I lost King but gained Alonso in a mini wildcard -4.
      Need to look at more than one fixture

  5. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 8 Years

      Pedro is a rotation risk with Willian for me, will be a source of frustration. Love that backline

      1. FootballFanatic365
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Pedro + Gundogn > Moura + Nevez ?

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

          I do like the look of Moura. Gotta be careful with them mid priced mids as the flavour of the week ofter changes

          1. FootballFanatic365
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            i was thinking of Keeping Pedro and keep and eye on Moura for next 2 weeks. then maybe switch to MOura if its not just a one week fluke + pedro vs Bournmth at the bridge

        2. FootballFanatic365
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          or moura + Kante

    2. firetog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Looks great

      1. FootballFanatic365

        thanks

    3. 420king

      What a benching headache WC. Downgrade something.

    4. Jack Frost
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      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. .

  7. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Firminho, Rich > Jimenez, Hazard worth a 4 point hit? Also leaves me 0.7 ITB for next week transfer as will probs swap Odoi for Cairney and rotate with Fraser...

    1. Ohh1454
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I think it could be worth the hit I'd do it

  8. davies
    • 12 Years

    Hojbjerg 4.4 alert

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

      He looks differential with a negative total score. 🙂

  9. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Play Wan Bisaka or Kante?

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

      AWB

    2. Ohh1454
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Tough one kante is an awkward player to own as Chelsea can score against anyone so you feel you should play him every week I'd go kante but both if possible

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

        Couldn't agree more. I have Kante and I'm hoping for a nice assist weekly

    3. MarkoSD

      7 years, 11 months ago

      Awb

    4. GreennRed
      • 14 Years

      Bissaka.

    5. Pinturicchio10

      Wan-Bissaka

  10. MikeLowrey
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    G2G this game week?

    Fab
    Alonso Mendy VVD AWB
    Salah Bilva Mooy
    Firmino Aguero Mitro
    (Ryan, Kante, Cairney, Peltier)

    Only moves I'm considering now is Bilva & Firmno > Zaha & Hazard for a -4, but I'm leaning towards a hold.

  11. Francescoli
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Good to go? or play Wan Bis over Shaw or Ings?

    Fabianski
    Mendy Robertson Shaw
    Salah Mané Mhiki Walcott
    Aguero (c) Zaha Ings

    Foster WanBis Neves Peltier

    1.5 ITB
    0FT

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

      I'd back in AWB keeping a clean over Ings scoring. Just my opinion

      1. Ohh1454
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Ya I reckon the same

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

        Can you explain? Why a defender ahead of a striker?

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

          I think there's a higher chance of Palace keeping a clean than conceding to Ings & SOTON this week

    Any chance Poch will change formation next gw?

    Moura looked very central and involved in play today, and Eriksen was super sharp picking him out with passes from the right every time.

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

    Why was Moura played very little last season?

    1. mikess

    Hi ppl. Need your help

    A. Alisson Hamer & Wallcott
    Or
    B. 2 x 4.5 keeps & Moura

    If B. Which 2 4.5 keepers.

    Cheers guys

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years

      Considering fixtures id avoid alisson

  19. Fortune
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Rich > dilva for -4 ??
    Im not keen on wally or moura.

    Also,
    Who to bench gw 4?
    King, fraser, or shaw

  20. seewhyaxe
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Play Ings or AWB?

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

      Ings imo. good underlying stats and I'd generally always choose a striker over a defender.

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

        thanks, i have AWB starting now in the team, considering AWB due to a home fixture..

        but you made a good point!

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

      Awb

    3. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      It looks like this is my last decision for this gameweek too.

      Leaning to attacker per my usual pattern, but starting AWB now.

  21. MarkoSD
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Shaw richa
    To
    Alonso 5,2m
    For -4?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yup, get neves or kante as your cm imo

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Kante and yes

    3. Francescoli
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Shaw is about to go on a dream run of fixtures. You would think Mou will focus on keeping things tight at the back for this run of games.

  22. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    How quickly should i get in Hazard, Jimenez for Firminho, Rich? Got 0.7itb so can do it quite easily but will any of their prices change more before the weekend?

  23. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Any suggestions appreciated chaps. WC team currently on this (0.3ITB)

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

    Too heavy in def with Trip in there too? Was Bennett before
    Walcott really worth it? Not the most convincing player. Had Stephens in there before

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      As i play a 3-4-3 id maybe swap Trip for Holebas but Watfords next few fixtures aint exactly great... same with spurs tbh. And then use that money to upgrade kamara to jimenez or wilson

  24. FootballFanatic365
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Zaha vs Mitro

    ??????

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

      Zaha

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Zaha if short term ie 3 or 4 gameweeks imo

    3. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Zaha imo

    4. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

      At least you were pretty clear on your intention to ship Mane :p I did Mane to Hazard and Rich to Fraser for a hit myself btw..

    WC Draft #2, please let me know your thoughts!

    Pickford/Hamer

    Alonso, Laporte, WB / Perreira, Bednarek

    D Silva, Hazard, Mane, Mkhi / Fraser

    Aguero, Mitro, Zaha

    0.4 ITB

    1. Pinturicchio10
      7 years, 11 months ago

      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.
