There are some slight concerns about Harry Kane‘s (£11.1m) positioning in this afternoon’s match between Spurs and Newcastle.

The centre-forward naturally keeps his place in the side but shares the team-sheet with both Lucas Moura (£7.5m) and Son Heung-min (£9.5m).

Crucially, Christian Eriksen (£8.9m) finds himself on the bench once again, which could require Kane to drop deep to provide creativity for Moura and Son.

Spurs did not look in particularly good shape for the first hour of their Gameweek 1 hosting of Aston Villa, when Eriksen was on the bench.

It was only after he took to the field that Mauricio Pochettino’s men really got into their attacking stride.

It will, therefore, be of great interest to Fantasy managers how Kane, Moura and Son line-up against Newcastle.

Elsewhere in the Spurs side, Kyle Walker-Peters (£5.0m) continues his spell at right-back while Jan Vertonghen (£5.3m) makes it onto the bench but is still waiting for his first Premier League minutes of the season.

Opponents Newcastle line-up as expected, in a 5-3-2 formation, which continues to feature FPL midfielder Miguel Almirón (£6.0m) as a centre-forward.

Meanwhile, Wolves host Burnley in the other 4:30pm kick-off, with the benching of Leander Dendoncker (£4.5m) the biggest news.

After starting both league matches for Wolves so far this season, he has been replaced in the starting line-up by Morgan Gibbs-White (£5.0m).

That marks the only change from the side that drew with Manchester United, Matt Doherty (£6.0m) back at right wing-back after missing out against Torino midweek.

Hoping to crash another party away from home is Ashley Barnes (£6.6m) who came into Gameweek 3 behind only Teemu Pukki (£6.9m) and Raheem Sterling (£12.2m) for shots in the box.

Spurs XI: Lloris; Rose, D Sánchez, Alderweireld, Walker-Peters; Sissoko, Winks; Moura, Son, Lamela; Kane.

Newcastle XI: Dubravka; Ritchie, Dummett, Lascelles, Schär, Krafth; Saint-Maximin, S Longstaff, Hayden; Almirón, Joelinton.

Wolves XI: Patrício; Boly, Coady, Bennett; Jonny, Neves, Gibbs-White, Moutinho, Doherty; D Jota, Jiménez.

Burnley XI: Pope; Pieters, Mee, Tarkowski, Lowton; McNeil, Westwood, Cork, Gudmundsson; Barnes, Wood.

  13. BoomXhakaLaca1
    • 13 Years

    It's a pity Kane lost his clean sheet point as a midfielder isn't it?

  14. g40steve
    • 8 Years

    Lucas fluffs Kane assist

  15. SirStevieG
    • 14 Years

    I do not want Jota in my team anymore.

  16. Rainer
    • 10 Years

    Kane hasn’t put a foot wrong so far.

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Mathematical certainty if you don't touch the ball

    2. MrZ
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Just wrong position

  17. LosBlancos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    They need Eriksen

    1. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Easily there best player and likely his last game

  18. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    How many chances does Moura need??

  19. Brosstan
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Moura wasting Kane assist. Useless.

  20. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Only way Kane will score will be a penalty.

  21. Lacabacca
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Kane assist?

    1. Lacabacca
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Reply fail

  22. Champ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    City, Pool, Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal, Utd....and not a single clean sheet between them. Jebus.

    Oh, and you can add Everton, Leicester and Wolves to that now. That just ain't right.

    1. jtreble
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Agree. Crazy.

  23. The_Socca_Philosopha
    • 12 Years

    I never imagined I would even be considering a Barnes-Pukki front line haha

  24. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Kane to Joelinton for -4?

  25. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …

    Bad feeling Moura going to be replaced at HT..when it should be Lamela

    1. Rolls-Royce

        He's Levy's pet project that failed but he won't let go.

    If the next page goes 5 posts without mention of Kane I'll donate 20 quid to charity.

    1. Business Cat

  27. Zen_Master
    • 7 Years

    Ok, this is getting ridiculous now. Literally every team is conceding and there's no way of trusting any defense for clean sheets at the moment lol. Which teams have the most trustworthy defenses right now?

    1. JohnBlack
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Villa & Saints

    2. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Burnley

    3. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Blades. Fixtures bad.

  28. The Man Pastore
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Alright, should I WC this lot?

    Pope Button
    VVD Digne Dunk Guilbert Rico
    Mane Sterling KDB Ceballos Mcginn
    Auba Jota Greenwood

    1FT / 0.0itb

    If so, how would you rate this WC team:

    Pope Button
    VVD Laporte Digne Lund Kelly
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount Mcginn
    Haller Barnes Greenwood

    Cheers!

      • 9 Years
