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.

    Keane Vs Evra. That was hilarious!!!!

    Looks very close between auba and kane for the biggest waste of money

    That was the best viewing of football’s return so far

    Is Keane on drugs?

      A syringe full of anger went straight down the main line before kickoff

    Utd fans brought back to the reality of how shite they're in one half

        They need to replace Maguire with someone with more pace & mobility someone like........Captain Tom Moore !

      Even at his current age I reckon having Roy Keane in Uniteds midfield they’d perform better

      I love the irony of NOWTV being a few seconds behind basically every other platform showing the game

        Amazon says hold my cup and string.

        Are the all the games free on other platforms?
        Sky will be getting a call for refund if so 😉

          Yup freeview channel 11

      Hate the man all you want but he speaks the truth. The Son save was bread and butter, nothing spectacular, DDG should 100% have saved that shot for the goal, and Maguires defending was a disgrace, all truth spoken, but United fans dont want to hear that because Bruno will fire them to top 2 and #Pogback! Deluded fan base! They are miles off City and Liverpool

      1. Ron_Swanson
        • 15 Years

        Calm down

        1. DAZZ
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          I’m calm as you like pal. I’m a Liverpool fan myself so i’m enjoying every second of this.

      2. diesel001

        They are a long way off Man City and Liverpool. But should be better than Leicester and Chelsea. Man Utd are short of a true DM, IMO. Someone like Gueye, Herrera, Kante etc to sit next to Fred. McTominay is not a true DM, he is a Fred backup. They could also use a RW to relegate James into the second team.

        lol any united fan saying we'll get back into the top 2 is a fan boy. nowhere close to pool or city but strong steps since ole took over imo

        James, Maguire, Bruno, AWB are all upgrades on previous options cant deny that

        1. DAZZ
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          I agree. I can’t see why United fans seem to always back up Martial, he’s a talented young man for sure. But he’s way too lazy. Imagine him next to Keane, jogging around. I wouldnt even put him on the Liverpool bench

          1. Scholes Out For Summer
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Berbatov was deemed lazy....

            Some players just have different physical tendencies, not all players are a Son or Tevez and runs 25km a game. He does make some good runs, and has great finishing. I like him as a striker option cause he can disappear from a game but still wouldnt be surprised if he bagged a goal

        2. Nightcrawler
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          🙄 u sure u support us? Were just a striker and a dm short of challenging for league title. Kane would be perfect kane and kante and its a 3 horse race

          1. Scholes Out For Summer
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Lol yes im just realistic unlike you. you dont make a winner form just buying everyone you have to let the team buy in to the system

            Im also against the idea of dropping 300m for a striker and a cdm from main rivals that would never sell to united or make it as hard as possible.

            If you think Chelsea will sell Kante to United youre delusional

          2. Scholes Out For Summer

            lmao give Arsenal Kante and van Dijk and they can win the prem too...

    5. Mr Arsenal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Pogba will come on and save the day

      i dont see any reason to spend more than 2m for son over bergwijn.

      i dont see need for rashford and bruno. 1 is enough

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        You are reading too much into one half of one game, IMO.

      2. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Lol what happens if this finishes 3-3 and Son scores a brace and rash and bruno both gets one....

        its one half chill man

    7. Brosstan

      What are some of those slogans they have put over the stands supposed to mean?

      "I CANT SMILE WITHOUT YOU"

      and at the City game

      "WE ARE NOT REALLY HERE"

      I dont get it..

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        "Washing machines live longer with Calgon" brought a tear, not gonna lie.

          Ok, cheers

      My FH31 draft. (WC33)

      Lloris
      WanB - Justin - Sais
      Mane - Salah C - Bruno - Son
      Vardy - Rashford - Jiminez

      3.9 - Robinson - Guendouzi - Fodder

      0.3itb

      Any changes?

      1. fish&chips
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Risky with no KDB but I'll probably do the same. Not sure about triple utd after this though

        1. Silecro
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          1-0 loss for triple united is kind of game that makes you want to rage delete your team

        2. Wirtzle Gummidge
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Ill get him back the week after

    9. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Harry winks is class

      Tottenham would do well to keep him away from the giants

      1. Steinburg FC
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        I would love it if he played just a tiny bit higher up to link with the front 4

    10. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Roy Keane is box office

      I want DDG and Maguire to make another mistake 😆

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Pfft, that's all part of the service with DDG.

      2. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Wait till Pogba comes on and does some trick and flick passes without actually finding any teammates

    11. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Aurier's crosses are top notch today. Inner Trent awoken in him

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Aurier always looks that good until that tackle

        1. Steinburg FC
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Too true...

      2. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        That's 7 assists now this season

        1. Silecro
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Was looking at him even before this game. Maybe break really tightened Tottenham up defensively which could make Aurier at 4.9 golden for season end run-in

    12. KGFC
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Lamela is such a poor passer

      1. Steinburg FC
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Old news lol
        I won’t be capping Kane until Lo Celso back

    13. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Harry nearly got a touch.

    14. Collie01

      Fernandes close

        Would have liked to see if Lloris would have got there if it was inside the post

      United are garbage.. Can't believe I fell for this fraud bruno trap 🙁

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        They are awesome. I disagree. Best team by far in the last 5 years. Triple is needed, especially if Liverpool takes pedal off the gas. Chelsea fan speaking

        1. Fpl_Juggernaut
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Even Southampton movement was far better irrespective of Norwich

    16. KGFC
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Kane now is more like what Grealish is for Villa

      1. Collie01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Kane looks off the pace.

        1. Tinkermania
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Has he ever been on the pace?

      2. Tinkermania
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Stop insulting Grealish. The guy puts in a shift.

        1. KGFC
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          This is Kane's shift... Standing is enough of a shift for him :p:

      Is spurs backline settled? Can we invest in Jose's defense?

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Aurier is the great value for a defender below 5m

    19. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Whats wrong with kane? Its like he doesnt even want to score anymore

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Multiple injuries.

      He has been anonymous

        He normally is and he normally scores.
