The second of five Premier League matches to be held on Saturday will have a huge say in many Fantasy managers’ fortunes in Double Gameweek 26.

Burnley are the visitors to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where kick-off is at 14:00 GMT.

Just over one million Fantasy Premier League bosses handed the armband to Harry Kane (£11.1m), with the Spurs striker second only to Bruno Fernandes in the captaincy stakes in the current Gameweek.

Kane is by far the most popular option among the top 10,000 FPL managers, however, with just under 58% of this elite group making the England international their skipper.

Indeed, a third of the leading 10k have used their Triple Captain chip on Kane.

A total of 615,011 Fantasy managers transferred in the premium forward this week.

Jose Mourinho makes 10 changes from the Spurs side that began the Europa League tie against Wolfsberger on Wednesday.

Toby Alderweireld (£5.4m) is the only one who survives the cut, with Gareth Bale (£9.3m) starting a Premier League game for just the third time this season.

The Burnley team news is straightforward, with Sean Dyche naming an unchanged side.

Striker Chris Wood (£6.2m) is on the bench after a month out with a hamstring injury.

DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 26 SO FAR…

Bale back in Spurs starting XI as Kane is handed triple captaincy by third of top 10k 1

FPL managers who own Leicester City assets were left largely empty-handed by part one of their Gameweek 26 double-header.

The jaded-looking Foxes succumbed to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Arsenal, with goalscorer Youri Tielemans (£6.4m) the only Leicester player who emerged from the encounter with anything other than appearance points.

The Belgian had waltzed through a non-existent Arsenal defence to open the scoring early on but from then on it looked more like Brendan Rodgers’ side, and not their visitors, who were suffering from their involvement in Europe on Thursday night.

An anonymous Jamie Vardy (£10.2m) registered preciously zero shots or key passes but the Leicester striker may at least get a second bite of the cherry against Burnley in midweek, something that Harvey Barnes (£6.9m) almost certainly won’t have.

The most-bought FPL asset of Double Gameweek 26 succumbed to a knee injury after 51 minutes, with reports after the game suggesting he will be out for up to six weeks.

A Leicester side already missing James Maddison (£7.3m), among others, then lost Jonny Evans (£5.5m) to a knock late on.

As for Arsenal, they were much changed after Thursday’s win over Benfica, with Bukayo Saka (£5.2m) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.3m) among the substitutes.

Willian (£7.5m) claimed a brace of assists for David Luiz (£5.4m) and Nicolas Pepe‘s (£7.4m) goals, with Alexandre Lacazette (£8.1m) despatching a first-half penalty after a Pepe shot had been handled.

Budget FPL midfielder Emile Smith Rowe (£4.3m) was yet another injury victim at the King Power Stadium.


Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Reguilon, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Aurier, Ndombele, Hojbjerg, Moura, Bale, Son, Kane.

Burnley XI: Pope, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Brownhill, Cork, Westwood, McNeil, Rodriguez, Vydra.

    1. The Senate
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Son AND Bruno is the only right call IMO

    As a kane capper..80k rank..i should be happy with a goal and nothing more right?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      Disappointed

      As a Kane capper you want more Kane points.

      1. money face bandwagon
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Then what abt the triple (c) by the top players?

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Use this to estimate what Kane points mean for your rank.

          you're looking at it wrong imo... surely more dont own him than TC'd him in the top 100k (not 10k)

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Not really.

    4. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      No, because other Spurs assets scored and keeping clean sheet so far...

    5. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Nah as a TC I’m a bit disappointed he’s only got one goal in a 4-0

      1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Same.

    6. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Very happy. What exactly do you expect against Burnley?

    7. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Wrong , at least another return needed

    8. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      please explain why you want your captain to only score 1

      1. money face bandwagon
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        High eo in top 10k..1/3 with triple captaincy.

        1. jomikijiq
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          you never want someone to get one return

          depending on EO it's always either haul or blank

        2. moment
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          His EO would need to be over 200 for a normal (C) to be unproductive. It's not.

        3. kennethrhcp
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          overthinking it imo

          always want your capt to haul imo

      2. Goodfeathers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        To punish the people that TC’d him I would guess.

        1. kennethrhcp
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          & help those who dont own or who didnt captain him... hurting himself as it's his capt

    9. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Weird logic. Just as many points as you can get for your Captain regardless. There are 7.92m players behind you too.

  3. seewhyaxe

    well played Bale owners

      3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 10 Years

        Lol

  7. Limbo
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    ML Rival Kane (c) no Son. I need one more something from Mr Heung

  8. Bushwhacker
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Deli Alli’s first involvement ... is to slow up the play so Burnley can get the entire team behind the ball. He is useless.

  9. Party time
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Son feel free to score a goal

  10. Ode
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Damn 4 points out of 4 players from my bench boost atm. Well I didn't expect much from Tarko and Pope, but atleast Bamford and Dallas should've got something

  11. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    With the likes of the rubbish like lamela and dier coming back midweek I’d say this is the best chance of Kane points

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Nonsense. Lamela can dive for several penalties

  12. FPL Scoop

    Every Kane G is a 10k rank increase for me. Come on man

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        Yup

  13. lindeg

    How is kane not being rested yet

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Kane doesn’t get rested.

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He gets his rest on the pitch

      1. kennethrhcp

        🙂

  14. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Lamela coming on. Will be selfish in his play

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Bale off

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yes but he’ll dive a lot

  15. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Lamela coming on for Bale

  16. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years

    Jamie Rednapp bugging up Dele Ali. I'd FAR rather play Moura ahead of Ali...

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Agree

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      First involvement was to totally slow down a fast break. His brain works at 13 fps

    3. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years

      bigging*

  17. Rainer

  18. FPL Scoop

    Feels wrong hoping a player you own blanks, but hope that’s what Bruno does with that EO

    1. Make United Great Again

  21. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years

    Who’s getting Bale then?

    1. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      One week late

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I'm probably doing Rash to Bale

  22. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Bale off, time for Kane to catch him in the BAPs

  23. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Only one Kane goal from 4 is underwhelming

  24. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Can’t believe the space Burnley of all teams gave Bale.

  25. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Kane close. Pope save

  26. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years

    Come on Kane ... one more goal please?

  27. MoSalad
