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. FootballFanatic365
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      two mids?

      1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

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

    2. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Kepa + Luiz = Trouble

      1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

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

        1. LǝgleSs e|even
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 20 days ago

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

          1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 20 days ago

            Got another way to do Luiz to Alonso?

            1. LǝgleSs e|even
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 20 days ago

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

        2. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 20 days ago

          Double Chelsea defence maybe not so good.

          1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 20 days ago

            Bou and Cardiff at home with some ok fixtures after

  2. cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 20 days ago

    When will the league tables get updated

  3. Francescoli
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 20 days ago

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

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Prices generally move slowly during international break

  4. Kai
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 20 days ago

    Bottomed.

    What's the best 4.4 midfielder option?

    1. 420king
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

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

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

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

    3. Kai
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Thank you

    4. davies
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Hojbjerg and Stephens (soon)

  5. Messsiaah
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 20 days ago

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

  6. Whats the Mata?
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 20 days ago

    Thoughts on Trppier?

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Posted the same on previous page, apparently rotation risk

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Never get a Spurs full back.

    3. Pinturicchio10
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Overpriced and a rotation worry. Avoid.

  7. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 17 Years
    8 years, 20 days ago

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

    1. Whats the Mata?
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Moura stole the show

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 20 days 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
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Neither I think.

    4. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

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

      1. Pep says
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        And then just collapsed after they conceded

    5. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Bit of both.

    6. Messsiaah
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      United defense

    7. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Cheers all, will check out the highlights later.

    8. Rosey Palmer
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

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

  8. Da Ge
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 20 days 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
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

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

      1. Da Ge
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 20 days 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 🙂

  9. Gussy
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 20 days 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
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 20 days 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
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 20 days 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
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 20 days ago

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

    2. FootballFanatic365
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

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

    3. AC Me Rollin
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

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

    4. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 20 days 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
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 20 days 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! 🙂

  10. Trovsmash
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 20 days 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
      8 years, 20 days ago

      Might as well hold to see if Mane rises

  11. FootballFanatic365
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 20 days 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
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      no hazard?

      1. FootballFanatic365
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        cant fit him at the sake of the whole 15

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 20 days 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
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

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

      2. FootballFanatic365
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

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

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 20 days ago

          I personally need hazard in there hahaha

  12. Supersonic
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 20 days ago

    Is Laporte nailed?

    Cheers

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 20 days 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
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        Cheers

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 20 days 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
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

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

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      1. The Mastermind
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        Probably get rid of them next week for a -4... tasty fixtures this week

    3. Joggers Nipple
      • 17 Years

    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?

    1. 420king
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

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

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years

    1. 420king

    1. Da Ge
      • 8 Years

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

      1. Supersonic
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 20 days 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.

  25. Homo Neanderthalensis
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 20 days 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
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

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

      1. Homo Neanderthalensis
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

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

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 20 days ago

      If you don't want to keep him, it's free money.

  26. Tsparkes10

      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?

      1. Braca_Bez_Gajca
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 20 days ago

        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.
