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.

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

        Yeah, I think it's the vest solution for this gw with this team.

      Kepa + Luiz = Trouble

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

        Luiz going out for Alonso next week by doing VVD to TAA

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

          This is the time everyone is ditching TAA instead of bringing him in.

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

            Got another way to do Luiz to Alonso?

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

              Best Option : Downgrade Kepa
              VVD/Mendy/Trippier pick one. Check fixtures. I'd play Neves.

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

          Double Chelsea defence maybe not so good.

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

            Bou and Cardiff at home with some ok fixtures after

    Two weeks of price rises to ride after this gameweek. I'm hitting wildcard on Saturday.

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      • 10 Years

      Prices generally move slowly during international break

  4. Kai

    Bottomed.

    What's the best 4.4 midfielder option?

    1. 420king
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      None if you want somebody who plays. I'd get Kebano.

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

      I went with Odoi but he isnt Getting a sniff... just pick out of a hat lol

    3. Kai

      Thank you

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

      Hojbjerg and Stephens (soon)

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

    Playing Ings over Awb is the maverick choice. Whether it should've been the other way around.

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

    Thoughts on Trppier?

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

      Posted the same on previous page, apparently rotation risk

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

      Never get a Spurs full back.

    3. Pinturicchio10
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Overpriced and a rotation worry. Avoid.

    4. TorresMagic™

      • 16 Years

      Missed the game last night, Spurs great or United terrible?

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

        Moura stole the show

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

        United played well but unclinical as per... bad final passes and Rom missed an open net early on. But spurs looked solid at the back once they got comfy and lucas, kane, alli, erisken caused a lot of problems.

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

        Neither I think.

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

        Was a different United to watch attacking wise. Defensively, the score speaks

        1. Pep says
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          And then just collapsed after they conceded

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

        Bit of both.

      6. Messsiaah
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        United defense

      7. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers all, will check out the highlights later.

      8. Rosey Palmer
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Spurs flat first half..ManU had the better chances. Second half flip flopped and Spurs took control, ManU made some serious defensive errors.

    5. Da Ge
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Current team

      McCarthy / Hamer
      Pereira / Mendy / Azp / AWB / Bennett
      Mikh / Salah / Haz / Fraser / HudsonOdoi
      Zaha / Mitro / Kun

      1M ITB
      looking to upgrade hudson-odoi

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

        No point in upgrading Hudson, keep him on the bench... id focus on Azpi to Alonso first

        1. Da Ge
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          thought of that but i would have Azp for differential from others 🙂 hope the situation will be like last season, Alonso did good at the beginning then started to slow down and Azp got almost the same points as Alonso.

          gonna save my transfer this week and have 2 FT next week and reassess 🙂

    6. Gussy
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Let’s talk LaPorte. 5.5m for a city defender, has played all three matches and has goal threat (as shown by his goal already this season) but no one is talking about him.

      Last season Pep said he would use LaPorte after the title was won so that he can learn to play first team football, as he would in the following season.

      2.4%, are people still too scared of rotation?

      Keen to hear your thoughts! 🙂

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

        i support city but only defender ive got and would consider is mendy hahha... Kompany will most likely rotate with stones and laporte has been solid but id wait to see if he seems solid

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

          If you wait you’ll miss this run of games! I assume there will he rotation but if Kompany will rotate with Stones then you’re putting LaPorte as the number 1 CB for city in your ranking?

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

            Yes very true hahaha, hes my no1 choice atm... can also play lb so why not. Go for it 🙂

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

        he looked FAB , Quick, Strong, Attacking and creative. Complete CB

      3. AC Me Rollin
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I rather have Aguero Mendy and City Mid so there is no room for laporte

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

        Yip_Commented on this above.

        Most on here will be playing Mendy until they get stung by a no show and if he is Pep's 1st choice this year he could be gold but I still want another game from him.

        You're right he's well over-looked on here as the previous poster alluded to.

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

          Sorry I’m not sure what settings you have on but on my last two previous pages there was no commented by Yip. I still can’t find it, did he have any additional or more information than what I presented?

          Why would you like to see another game from him? To confirm he’s nailed? If he starts that means you’d grab him right away? If he was their best CB last few weeks then why wouldn’t he start? I’d rather make the move before everyone else!
          Thanks for the reply! 🙂

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

      Mane & Rich to Hazard & Fraser -4?

      Hold off until next week to do it for free and hope that Mane rises to cover Hazards rise.

      Or do it now for a -4?

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

        Might as well hold to see if Mane rises

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

      so this is the WC team till friday night.might make 1 or 2 moves before sat

      Hennesey
      Robertsn_Mendy_Tripp_Alonso
      Walcott_Pedro_Gundogan_Mkhitryn_Salah(v)
      Aguero(c)

      Fabianski Wilson_Mitro_WBisaka

      Thanks for the inputs.

      1. Trovsmash
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        no hazard?

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

          cant fit him at the sake of the whole 15

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

        Love the look of that... only possible changes would maybe be downgrade wilson or mitro to jimenez if they will sit on bench for a few... then maybe use that money elsewhere? Feel like you're gonna have too many good players to choose from lol

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

          i have thought this and the reason is City's rotation.

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

          could do mitro +pedro > Moura +Jimenez if pedro doesnt start vs bournmth

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

            I personally need hazard in there hahaha

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

      Is Laporte nailed?

      Cheers

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

        Hard to say, kompany most likely to be dropped for stones but idk if otamendi is going to get a look in soon... too risky imo

        1. Supersonic
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Cheers

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

        Intriguing this one and I'm not sure. Took that goal really well.

        Otta/ Kompany? stones the crows.

        I like him. one more game.

        1. Supersonic
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Yep I’m on a wc.. considering doubling city defence

        1. The Mastermind

      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?

        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Rich could fall again, just bookmark fplstatistics and check daily.

        PVA (5.5m) - good fixtures until GW9, atttcking threat & assister.
        Tarkowski (5.0m) - looks good fixture from GW5 onwards. Scored back to back goal.

          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Cheers yeah pva could be good.. Bellerin or Monreal?

      is moura a genuine option for getting into the spurs attack? watched the first couple of games and he didn't look great but had issues streaming the game last night so i have only seen the highlights.

    22. Homo Neanderthalensis
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      On a wildcard.. transferred in Walcott for 6.5m on Saturday, now I can transfer him out and make 0.1m profit whilst still having my wildcard open. Awesome lol

      1. Trovsmash
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        you need a player to rise .2 to make .1

        1. Homo Neanderthalensis
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          He did rise 0.2! Went from 6.5 to 6.7m.. now I can sell him for 6.6m.

      jota to lucas moura or tosun to zaha?

      Debating whether or not to wait it out with Jota considering their next couple fixtures (WHU & BUR) but would also be open to other transfer suggestions for jota (up to 7m and already have richarlison). Please and thank you!

        Not wanting to get rid of rich???
        I like the look of wolves fixtures so getting jimenez in... also palace fixtures are v good so id get zaha, maybe a walcott or sigurdson to cover everton if you can though?

          Should i keep tosun then for everton cover? if i sell him for Zaha this week then I'd also need to swap rich with walcott for a hit

        Striker choice is poor imo, and 2 spurs mids isnt ideal... id swap eriksen for someone like walcott or Sig or pedro and get Aguero or Aubam for Firminho... maybe even try get hazard in there

        If it isn't already, a few more RMTs will ensure it is.
