The Fantasy Premier League community will have a keen eye on Nick Pope (£4.8m) in Saturday’s team-time match.

The Burnley goalkeeper, preparing to face Spurs this afternoon, is the most popular Fantasy asset at Turf Moor, sitting in 18.1% of teams.

His owners will be hoping for either a clutch of saves, a clean sheet, or both as he faces a Spurs team with a point to prove.

Jose Mourinho’s men were knocked out of the FA Cup on penalties by Norwich midweek and their most recent Premier League outing resulted in a home defeat at the hands of Wolves.

For that reason, the Fantasy interest in Spurs assets remains relatively low. In fact, their most popular fit asset, owned by just 5.8%, Serge Aurier (£5.0m) finds himself on the bench this afternoon.

Joining him among the substitutes is Lucas Moura (£7.1m) while Dele Alli (£8.3m) and Steven Bergwijn (£7.5m) both feature in the starting XI this afternoon, neither one owned by more than 5%.

Fantasy managers may be monitoring these attacking assets in light of Spurs’ upcoming fixture in Blank Gameweek 31 when they host West Ham.

Burnley XI: Pope; C Taylor, Mee, Tarkowski, Bardsley; McNeil, Cork, Westwood, Hendrick; Wood, Rodriguez.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris; Vertonghen, Alderweireld, D Sánchez, Tanganga; Dier, Skipp, Ndombele; Lamela, Bergwijn; Alli.

        You have used doping called BB 😉

      2. Supertrooper
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Pretty much the same team as mine.

    3. The Train Driver
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      That's a wasted BB IMO

      1. CMJC
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Will see but BB not looking that promising. Good luck

    If SHU beat Ars in the cup, they will miss gw34 and have avl, mun, WOL all needing to be rescheduled - gw37 they have EVE

    Would that be an extra dgw or will they play 3 times in one week?

      1. HashAttack
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        thanks - I have visions of our Lord's resurrection

        Who won't play vs ManU...

        1. Champions League Varane
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          Very true actually lol

      Haunting night ahead for non-owners.

    2. Gazwaz80
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      And yesterday, knew I should have captained :/

    3. The Cherry Picker
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Owners more likely scared

    4. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Should have captained him instead of the dud I did.

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        It's a shame you're a sheep then isn't it. And Auba ain't no dud, golden boot winner. I'll enjoy his points against City and Brighton next week too.

        1. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          Wow. Thanks for putting me in my place.

          1. Qaiss
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 1 day ago

            Lol, but he can still get a brace VS City 🙂 and even if he doesn't, looks a good choice next week against Brighton

            1. DA Minnion (Former great)
              • 13 Years
              6 years, 1 day ago

              I know. He's a decent pick just didn't work out today unfortunately.

        2. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          Defensive Arsenal fan spotted

      2. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Well, I ditched him for a hit for C Auba.

    5. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Damn, would have captained him if he wasn't yellow but instead captained useless Auba.

      1. CMJC
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Why would you ever transfer in a player you think is useless?

    6. el polako
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Good as he is my captain.
      Assist against United plus complete battering of Arsenal will do just fine for me.

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        United fan and non-owner

        Huge gulp

  4. Le Bluff
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Alli surely the only Spurs mid worth considering?

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Yep

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Bergwijn if you’re using FH and want a differential - Dele will be in most 31 teams.

      1. Le Bluff
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Won't be free hitting.

        Spurs likely out of the CL and will be focussed on the top 4, so motivation should be there. On pens with Son and Kane out.

        Have enough to do Grealish > Alli. Only question is whether to do it this week or next.

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      I think west ham will turn them over frankly - but I'll get Alli possibly

    4. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      I like Lo Celso as well

  5. The Cherry Picker
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    As I usually congratulate others on a good GW, I’m expecting the same for the first time this season lol.

    43 with Leno, Pépé, Auba, Mahrez X2, Rodrigo X2 and Aguero (Captain X2) still to play!

    FH is looking golden so far.

    Hope everyone else has been smashing it too!

    1. Longlatini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Looking good

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Ok I will congratulate other too.

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Surely you want other people to do crap?

    4. The Cherry Picker
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      In theory yes, but always nice to see others doing well.

    5. jtreble
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Look down.

    6. Tigers Time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Well done - good use of the FH chip, nearly did it myself but bottled it,

  6. jtreble
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Awful week to use a chip so far this week. LiveFPL:

    NO CHIP: 87.15%/36.08 pts.
    WC: 6.27%/36.47
    BB: 2.22%/49.06
    FH: 2.22%/32.51
    TC: 2.14%/36.10

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Bench boosters doing ok so far.

      1. jtreble
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        8.5 pts. more than no chip at all. :). Must be party time.

    2. JamieC180
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      In fairness, this will change given free hitters will have loaded their team with arsenal and city who have majority of game time left to play

    3. The Cherry Picker
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Each to there own. I used my FH. I’m on 43 and I’ve effectively still got 11 to play. Couldn’t of asked for more

    4. HashAttack
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      earlier days - those playing chips probably have more points to gain

  7. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Was planning on getting Sarr for next week but I see he got the worst grade in the game, anyone saw the match?

    1. ritzyd
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Both teams were cack, he looked decent in places but watford generally looked very poor

    2. HashAttack
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      I don't expect baps from him - expect shots off targets, lost dribbles etc.

  8. tm245
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Lo Celso asking for more cards to be given.

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      He should watching from home right now

  9. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Lovely left foot on McNeil.

  10. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Pope 2 points 🙂

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Miracle

  11. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Benched McCarthy for Henderson

    Captained Auba instead of Salah

    At least I played Lascelles ahead of Taylor

  12. faux_C
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Got 2 clean sheets on my bench but still having a great week 😎

  15. Playing_the_Numbers

    6 years, 1 day ago

    Guys, do we thing Lamela will be nailed from now on?

    1. JamieC180
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Lamela and nailed are antonyms imo

      1. Playing_the_Numbers
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Wasn't he injured until recently? With Son and Kane out isn't he guaranteed to be a starter if fit?

  16. JamieC180
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    51 after bonus with Mahrez, Aguero, KDB, Pepe, Saka and Auba (C) to go. Here's hoping I'm no longer ranked 800k at the end of the week haha

    1. JT11fc
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

  17. JT11fc
    • 7 Years
