Some big names are preparing to audition for a place in many a Fantasy Premier League Wildcard squad at Tottenham Hotspur’s stadium tonight.

With plenty of managers opting to overhaul their squad for Gameweek 31+, Spurs and Manchester United assets are high on the watchlists.

Bruno Fernandes (£8.6m) naturally retains his number 10 role for the Red Devils and, for the first time since his January arrival, gets to line-up alongside Marcus Rashford (£8.8m).

The England international turned political campaigner has been injured since Gameweek 23, able to make a surprise return to playing as a result of the Premier League season being delayed.

It looks as if Rashford will play on Fernandes’ left while Daniel James (£5.8m) has been entrusted with the right attacking midfield slot.

Anthony Martial (£8.0m) leads the line for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men with Fred (£5.3m) and Scott McTominay (£4.9m) anchoring midfield.

Some managers may have half an eye on Paul Pogba (£8.3m) who has been named on the bench but, with five substitutes available, could see some minutes in the second half.

Meanwhile, there will be plenty of eyes on Harry Kane (£10.8m) and Son Heung-min (£9.7m) who, like Rashford, are able to play because of the season’s protracted conclusion.

As promised by Jose Mourinho, they have been named among Spurs’ attacking quartet for the Friday-night encounter; Kane leading the line and Son operating on the left of Erik Lamela (£5.7m) and Steven Bergwijn (£7.4m).

Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-2-3-1): Lloris; Davies, Dier, D Sanchez, Aurier; Winks, Sissoko; Son, Lamela, Bergwijn; Kane.

Manchester United XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Shaw, Maguire, Lindelöf, Wan-Bissaka; Fred, McTominay; Rashford, B Fernandes, D James; Martial.

      Aurier?? Could easily be a 0 pointer or worse

  1. Neevesy
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Anyone else loving Saha's 'Oh my God' everytime something happens?

  2. Total Slotball

    6 years, 6 days ago

    But but United 9 cleansheets in 11 or some BS. Defence getting tore to shreads.

  3. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 10 Years

    Looool Son and Fernandes fail and now everyone’s gonna own them next gwk.

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Thinking Son may well be my captain against West Ham

  4. KGFC
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    That Berg goal in slow motion looks even worse for DDG... Time to sit him out and get back Hendo!!

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Easy with Henderson lined up but don’t think there will be many buyers for DDG. Juve or PSG perhaps

      1. niko mate
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        No big club would want De Gea

  5. Bruce Lee
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    I'm sure this has been commented like 40 times already, but is Shaw for real???

    He looks 43 at least

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

      Stone?

      1. james 101
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        IQ

    2. KGFC
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Lamela looks like his great grandfather!

    3. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      He has trouble staying fit when there are games and training twice a day...

      1. Bruce Lee
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        How has he been allowed on the pitch?

  6. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Ings and Aurier are in my GW38 team that I FHed out this GW. Just FYI

    1. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      its a classic fpl

  7. Dannyb
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Maguire is soooooo bad. Cash in on De Gea and bring Hendo back, he's gonna be worth absolute pennies soon.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Pity he’s on a 4/5 year contract £400k a week, Hendo is on peanuts.

  8. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years

    Ddg hair/beard looks like he's been observing lockdown at least

    1. Bruce Lee
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      It looks the same, someone needs to buy the guy a beard trimmer

  9. james 101
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Slightly off topic but do we know when price changes will start yet?

    I don’t get why we’ve not been informed.

    1. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      I imagine they have started but loads of people on WC’s and FH’s this week so may just not be big movement in terms of transfers

      1. james 101
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        Seems strange that there have been literally zero price changes.

  10. TheDragon
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Is Harry Kane on the pitch?

    1. KGFC
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Not really... He's parked his own bus 😆

  11. Steinburg FC
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    I’m loving the pace of Sonny’s corners

    1. Bruce Lee
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      I miss Eriksen's corners not beating the first man

      1. james 101
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        Trump is on the pitch?

  12. The Mighty Hippo
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Who else loves Louis Saha?

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      o/

  13. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Good time to ask.

    AWBrainy vs. Muguire?

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      None if you have been watching

  14. Keep Calm and Play On
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    AWB/Maguire to Aurier
    Son to Bergwijn

    Frees up a lot of funds for the WC team

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      More fun owning Son

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      He wont be facing DDG every week.

      1. Keep Calm and Play On
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        Agreed but he is making some great runs off the ball

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Plenty of time for Son RC, especially as he has been radicalised.

  15. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Has Kane even touched the ball? He isnt even playing DM, just wandering around completely uninvolved

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Genuinely only realised he was playing when he was involved in the goal celebrations.

      Him and martial basically aren’t playing so it’s 10 vs 10

    2. Steinburg FC
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      To be fair he hasn’t been given a chance we can’t string 3 forward passes together

    3. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Almost like he hasnt played for 6 months

    4. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      United has the possession for most of the game. Spurs has only really countered 2 or 3 times

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        Better than having Lucas moura scurrying around

  16. aborg
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Why the hell are they playing fake crowd noises during the live football games?
    We all know that the stadiums are empty so why give us a false atmosphere ?!?

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

      Next channel up for dead silence between Taylor & Neville waffle.

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        Mute for silence.

    2. james 101
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Trying to capture the Friends fan base?

    3. The Mighty Hippo
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Change to the watchalong

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        Keep going, there's Netball on...

    4. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      For the TV audience

    5. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      It's even worse without IMO

      1. aborg
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        Just find it odd to keep listening to a recorded crowd that has nothing to do with the game, as it’s not what is really going on.

    6. DycheDycheBaby
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      It's much worse without it imo

  17. The Train Driver
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Martial needs to gtfo, lazy ****, keeps losing the ball and tajes him 1 minute to get up again...

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      martialszn will tell you he's elite and ice cold

  18. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Louis Saha is the real entertainment today

  19. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Lamela avoiding a card till ht would be an achievement

  20. DycheDycheBaby
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Did anyone keep Ings in their bench boost team?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Tumbleweed

    2. SweepaKeepa
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      No. You would have heard from them if they did.

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Got him for Bench boost for next GW

    4. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      One of my mates did - currently on 94 points with 14 players left

  21. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    When will Pogba make his appearance?

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

      60 latest.

  22. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Game is on 3 channels and still can't find Kane.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Cannot watch on anything less than Q,
      Watch along picture is SD

  23. Total Slotball
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    AWB/James right hand side is Championship level

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      James is a poor mans Walcott - that’s how bad I think he is

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        Hes top in the league at faking head injuries though

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      They should've moved for Doherty or Ricardo. Cheaper and more creative. Their fullbacks are very average going forward, which makes it easier for the opposition to nullify their wide players.

      1. Total Slotball
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        They could sign Lionel Messi and they still wouldn't go anywhere. OGS young and British policy deluding Utd fans into thinking he's the man for the job..

    3. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      James is young and inexperienced, needs to grow

      1. TheDragon
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        All he has is pace - he has nothing else

    4. The Train Driver
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      AWB is a great player, stoo sniffing that glue...

  24. George Agdgdgwngo
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Martial looks rusty

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

      You’ve seen him?

    2. Jam0sh
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Most of players looking like that on both sides tbh

  25. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Does Dele Alli?

    A. Replace Bergwijn
    B. Replace Lamela
    C. Stay out of the team

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      B

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      C is my guess.

      Jose will like what he is seeing from Lamela here.

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      B/C

      Lucas the worry for Bergwijn.

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      B

  26. jackma_69ji2z
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    What a belter! Who got assist?

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      DDG error

  27. DeathoftheParty
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Don't rate Daniel James...

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Lamela coming good after 10 years and 8 hip replacements

      1. DeathoftheParty
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        Excellent reply

    2. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      he's young and been thrust into a transitional team, not completed a full season of PL yet. Judge him in a few years time

  28. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Bruno injured?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Looks ok.

  29. TheDragon
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    These two teams are light years behind Liverpool and City

    It’s quite alarming how big the gap is

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      This may be unpopular but there's only one or two teams in PL era that would take Liverpool and City all the way. They'd get 100 points in most campaigns.

      Oiled to perfection.

      1. Silecro
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        probably bias speaking from me but i think that Conte's Chelsea (first season) was probably one of those teams, unreal 30 wins in that season

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 5 days ago

          Absolutely yes

          Conte Chelsea, Mourinho 05 and United 08

          1. Nightcrawler
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 5 days ago

            United 08 that didnt manage to get even 90 points? Arsenal 90 probably better would have streamrolled these pl sides
