The Fantasy community will have their eyes firmly on the exploits of Harry Kane (£10.9m) as Spurs host Everton on Monday night.

The premium forward is set for an appealing trip to Bournemouth in Gameweek 34+, which the Cherries will approach on the back of conceding five at Manchester United over the weekend.

For that reason, many are interested to see if Kane can be trusted with such a fixture, increasing the interest in the visit of Everton to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

As ever, he is the spearhead for Spurs’ attack, tonight flanked by Son Heung-min (£9.8m) and Lucas Moura (£7.1m).

That means Steven Bergwijn (£7.3m) is on the bench for the second time in three Gameweeks, joined there by Erik Lamela (£5.7m).

By contrast, Giovani Lo Celso‘s (£7.3m) importance to the team only increases, the Argentinian earning his third successive start in Gameweek 33+.

Following the 3-1 defeat at Sheffield United, Jose Mourinho has made the first defensive line-up change since the Premier League restart, dropping Davinson Sánchez (£5.3m) to the bench, replacing him at centre-back with Toby Alderweireld (£5.3m).

Conspicuous by his absence is Dele Alli (£8.3m), absent from the matchday squad.

Everton line up in their usual 4-4-2 formation, with Richarlison (£8.2m) overcoming the ankle knock he picked up against Leicester to start up-front with Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.4m).

Fresh from netting a penalty in that win over the Foxes, Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.3m) earns a place on the left-hand side of midfield, where André Gomes (£5.2m) and Tom Davies (£5.3m) are trusted with central roles.

As ever, budget defender Mason Holgate (£4.4m) finds himself at centre-back once again, Yerry Mina (£5.3m) named among the substitutes.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris; B Davies, Dier, Alderweireld, Aurier; Winks, Lo Celso, Sissoko; Son, Kane, Moura.

Everton XI: Pickford; Digne, Keane, Holgate, Coleman; Sigurdsson, Gomes, T Davies, Iwobi; Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.

    Have Greenwood, Rashford and Martial. Fernandes keeps punishing me. Should I just swap Martial for Bruno?

    1. Bruce Lee
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 20 days ago

      Yes

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 20 days ago

        Thanks. Anyone else?

          1. S.Kuqi
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 20 days ago

            Lol. Was set to have Maupay aswell instead of Greenwood but changed my mind for some reason

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 20 days ago

      Yes

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 20 days ago

        Cheers

    3. Tcheco
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 20 days ago

      Perfect scenario would be to transfer out Rashford & a mid to get Martial

      Rashford has been the weak link out of those 4

  2. Reggie Nainggolan
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 20 days ago

    FIRST!!!

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 20 days ago

      Nope

      1. Reggie Nainggolan

        Damn you

    2. Reggie Nainggolan

    3. The Suspended One

      Really enthusiastic failure

    4. Firminooooo

      Ha ha. Nice try.

  3. Davido989

    Do you think FPL would be more enjoyable if we had no access to ownership (TSB, EO, etc.) stats?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 20 days ago

      EO is the killer for me. Yes.

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 20 days ago

        I hate knowing I need my own players to blank to avoid a red arrow.

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 20 days ago

      I would rather remove those chips

    3. Bruce Lee
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 20 days ago

      I think it would be more fun without Chips

      All of them

      1. EZCheese
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 20 days ago

        what is EO?

        1. Kno
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 20 days ago

          effective ownership

        2. Bruce Lee
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 20 days ago

          Cartoon character

      2. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 20 days ago

        So do I but chips keep the general audience engaged. If anything, I think we're likely to see more chips than any removed.

        1. Amey
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 20 days ago

          Agree completely

    4. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 20 days ago

      No price changes and 2FT a week would make it more fun

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 20 days ago

        I take issue with daily price changes and have mentioned it before. It almost makes FPL an addictive habit having and becomes draining at times.

        I think this is something FPL could look at for sure and have fixed days for price changes. Maybe every Wednesday and Sunday for example.

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 20 days ago

          And I known price changes are big part of the game, so maybe 0.2 and -0.2 rise/falls if a player reaches +/- 200% on the day price changes occur.

          1. how now brown cow
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 20 days ago

            Imagine if price changes were real time.....

    5. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 20 days ago

      Nope
      Only thing I'd like to remove is rumor & early news. Can be very dangerous.
      Makes me panick ! Plans go out of window. I take hits 😀

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 20 days ago

        That's easy, stay logged out of here and twitter 🙂

        1. Amey
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 20 days ago

          But but ...
          I also don't want to miss out on Rockstar ! 😀
          You see where the problem lies ...

      2. circusmonkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 20 days ago

        So they could move the deadline to more than one hour before the first game, that would solve that last minute leak thing.

        1. Amey
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 20 days ago

          Absolutely
          Unless the Leicester 2 % fat guy breaks it 1 day before 😀
          It's ridiculous

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

      Remove captaincy and EO is no longer an issue. The problem is knowing a player or worse, player(s) you own has more than 100% EO... absolute killer for the enjoyment of the game.

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 20 days ago

        Removing captaincy changes the game significantly.

        1. Amey
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 20 days ago

          Agree
          Makes it less fun

    7. Ian J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 20 days ago

      Allow changes after the teams have been announced - that would make it interesting & remove the need to react to false rumours.

      1. Ian J
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 20 days ago

        *remove the temptation to react, rather

    8. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 20 days ago

      Yes

  4. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 20 days ago

    Maguire to max 5.2 m defender and Nketieh to Greenwood -4 a waste or a good move?

    1. Ian J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 20 days ago

      I think Man Utd are good for a clean sheet this game week & Greenwood will get a rest soon - They cannot keep asking an 18 year to play twice a week - we keep ruining our home young grown talent by doing this.
      Will you get the -4 back?

  5. EZCheese
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 20 days ago

    is everyone captaining kdb this week?

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 20 days ago

      Yep

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 20 days ago

      Fernandes probably the most captained but I'm captaining Kdb

    3. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 20 days ago

      Yes. Well not everyone. I definitely am

    4. Salarrivederci
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 20 days ago

      (K)ane.
      Even before tonights match he is locked in 😉

    5. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 20 days ago

      Greenwood for a punt or Bruno at Villa are probably a better choice.

      Newcastle have improved defensively and even offer some attacking threat when they play the best team.

  6. Amey
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 20 days ago

    Please blank Hurricane !!
    Don't want everyone to get aboard the train. Very few chances remaining to gain ground now

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years

      What about a sneaky red card

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 20 days ago

        After the penalty miss

      2. Amey
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 20 days ago

        I swear i didn't make the tackle.
        I swear

  7. Catastrophe
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 20 days ago

    Which do you prefer?

    A) Greenwood, Jimenez, Sterling, Digne (Nketiah) (-4)
    B) Greenwood, Jimenez, Nketiah, Digne (Basham) (Sterling next GW)
    C) Kane, Jimenez, Foden, AWB (Nketiah)
    D) Kane, Greenwood, Foden, Tarkowski (Jimenez) (-8)

    Stuck between A and C!

    Anyone been following FPL_subscribe and FPL_ driver's bizarre twitter spat today?

    Everthing pointed to them being the same poster, but this is next level scripting.

        Started with subscribe introducing driver to his followers.
        I just looked like subscribe making a new profile after his disaster predictions.
        Ended with driver messing up too and then both blaming each other.

          Both a pair of plebs. Social media is full of them, hence I am not on any social media. Platform for morons IMO

    2. Davido989

      FPL Subscribe is playing a blinder. He'll end up becoming the FPL Indykaila.

      1. Amey

        Is he the guy who was saying VVd to juve and got fecked 😀

          Dont think so.
          Can't remember his name. he was accurate though, really up set the wrong people there didn't he. Lol

          1. Amey

            Yeah

        2. Davido989
          • 15 Years

          That was FPL Subscribe but I don't know if he is the same as the one we're talking about.

          1. Amey
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 20 days ago

            Okay okay
            These FPL_ accounts are confusing 😀

      I believe it hasn't been going on due to the short turnarounds between deadlines, one after the other.

      Can't say that's the reason for sure, but assume so. Will check! 🙂

          Geoff confirms that it is because of the fast turnarounds, but that there'll be at least one more before the season ends.

  14. michaelington

    6 years, 20 days ago

    Do stats helps within Fpl and if so to what degree? Only became a member once but didn’t really play the game properly that year.
    How much do you rely on stats for your strategy and do you find they help?

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 20 days ago

      Theres plenty of resources that will filter out the relevant stats for you. For instance people on twitter or the weekly hot topics from FantasyFreak. On the other hand a membership payment is pennies for most people with a steady job.

      1. jason_ni
        • 10 Years

        Costs less than 4 pints a year..

        1. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 20 days ago

          Tbh Id rather have 4 pints but why not both

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 20 days ago

      I use them occasionally to compare 2 options, or to see whether a sudden haul looks like a fluke.

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 20 days ago

      Stats help if you are willing to do the work in understanding them and not just rely on the articles that FFS provide.

    4. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 20 days ago

      I have done a lot better since I stopped looking at stats and relied on the eye test from watching games.

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 20 days ago

        This, sometimes overthinking on the data makes you more under pressure and drive hasty decisions after predictions based on data not delivering. That makes even more inconsistent approach which could easily end up on consistent chasing.

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 20 days ago

          Yeah, they make me overthink and sometimes mislead me into picking a player that I did not originally consider. I think if you watch the games, stats are redundant.

          1. michaelington
            • 16 Years
            6 years, 20 days ago

            I totally see where you are coming from. Obviously the hard part is watching all the games.

    The El JimSmithico has gone to penalties

      Yip

      Those boys know how to hit the back of the net

  18. Oggle22

    My last hope of Egans 10 points off the bench has gone with Aurier starting oh well on to next week

  19. Rover
    • 9 Years

    Pope (Martin)
    VVD Doherty AWB (Kiko Holgate)
    Salah Mahrez Pulisic Bruno Martial
    Kane (c) Jimenez (Connolly)

    Salah will become de Bruyne or Sterling depending on whether I go for shield or sword. Would you make any other changes? Next GW, Jimenez will likely make way for Vardy.

    So, where is Alli?

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 20 days ago

      Injured

      Not sure how much of a miss he will be as he has been awful for the last 2 seasons.

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 20 days ago

        Its closer to 3 at this point. Last good game that Real Madrid game in the CL 2 and a half seasons ago

        1. Syd.
          • 17 Years
          6 years, 20 days ago

          He really has dropped off a cliff

          1. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 20 days ago

            He seems like a really arrogant guy, always sulking and angrily stomping the ground/waving his fists in the air when things dont go right too despite being miles off the required level himself. Early success must have gone to his head.

  21. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 20 days ago

    Salah, Jimi, O'Connell -> Mahrez, Kane, Digne on the cards for -8 if Kane looks half decent.

    Kind of hoping he looks bad.

  22. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Alli out with a minor hamstring issue, reoccurrence.

    Hello
    Hello, how does this look for a possible GW 34 FH

    Ederson

    Gomez, Aurier, Kiko, Jack Robinson

    Salah, De bryne, Son, Martial, Fernandes

    Kane, Greenwood

    Kane or De bryne for C?

  24. JamieC180
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 20 days ago

    A) Aurier/Sais and Pulisic
    B) Van Dijk and Grealish

    1. JamieC180
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 20 days ago

      oooh or I could bring in Foden. That's an interesting idea.

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 20 days ago

      A by a massive amount

  25. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years

    Well that’s a nice surprise, for some bizarre reason I’ve just noticed Kane and Son both got a bonus point in the Sheffield United loss which is a bit weird.

    Probably missed it because I never even thought of looking

  26. Milk, 1 Šuker

    Score draw tonight I reckon. Thinking 2-2.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 20 days ago

      1-2

  27. cigan
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 20 days ago

    any idea what to do here? worried Salah won't start the next one but who do I bring in?

    A) Salah & Rashford > Kane & Martial (-4) - is it really worth a -4?
    B) Salah > Sterling - he might not start either?
    C) Salah & Saka > Pulisic & Willian (-4) - can I trust Chelsea?
    D) Kiko > Gomez - exact cash with 1.1 itb
    E) something completely different
    F) save FT

    Patricio Martin
    Trent Doherty Holgate Lascelles Kiko
    Salah KdB Mahrez Bruno Saka
    Rashford Jimenez Greenwood

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years

      Mane due a rest before Salah, Salah sat out Everton

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 20 days ago

        Internal intelligence?

      2. cigan
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 20 days ago

        Wasn't he injured/doubtful back then?

    2. People in Preston
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 20 days ago

      Can you do Salah & Jimenez to Kane & ..?

      Keep Rashford.

      1. cigan
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 20 days ago

        Yeah, can do Salah & Jimenez > Kane & anyone except Sterling and Mane. Got triple Utd alraedy so I can't go Martial. Pulisic/Willian/Son best options I guess

        1. People in Preston
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 20 days ago

          Watch the game tonight and then decide. That's what I'm doing re Kane.

  28. Syd.
    • 17 Years

    I fancy Everton to win this game

    They are a more balanced team

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 20 days ago

      This

    2. Amey

    3. AC/DC AFC

      Spurs have the beating of Everton since 2012.

      The toffees haven't beaten Spurs home or away in 8 years.

      2 score draws recently tho.

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 20 days ago

        Irrelevant stats to be honest.

    Who wouldve thought a few years ago an acelotti vs mourinho gamenwould involve everton and tottenham
