The third and final Premier League match of the day is a big one from a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) point of view, with interest spiking in Tottenham Hotspur players in the run-up to Gameweek 29.

Spurs are one of just two sides who ‘double’ in the current Gameweek and then have a top-flight fixture going ahead in Blank Gameweek 30, so there was no surprise that four of the most-bought FPL assets of Gameweek 29 are on the Lilywhites’ books.

PlayerTeamTransfers In (GW29)
SakaArsenal844,593
KulusevskiSpurs764,031
DohertySpurs587,595
KaneSpurs560,579
SonSpurs325,512

All the key Spurs targets start this evening as Antonio Conte makes just one change to the side that hammered Everton on Monday.

It’s an enforced one, too, as Sergio Reguilon comes in for the injured Ryan Sessegnon at left wing-back.

There is a bit more explaining to do with the Manchester United teamsheet, which shows five changes from last weekend’s derby.

Bruno Fernandes misses out with illness but goalkeeper David de Gea starts, despite some Covid-related drama earlier in the day.

“Bruno is ill, unfortunately. He couldn’t train yesterday and is therefore not available for the game. Hopefully, he will be back for Tuesday but, today, he is out.

“David had, to start with, a positive Covid test but, in the end, it turned out to be a false test. We did another test after that and it was negative so that is why he can play.” – Ralf Rangnick

Raphael Varane and Cristiano Ronaldo are back in the United side after missing the 4-1 defeat to Manchester City.

GAMEWEEK 29 LINE-UPS

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Maguire, Pogba, Ronaldo, Rashford, Fred, Varane, Dalot, Sancho, Telles, Matic.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Doherty, Reguilon, Romero, Hojbjerg, Son, Kane, Dier, Kulusevski, Bentancur, Davies.

    I’d be happy with this being a 2-1/3-2 as long as son/Kulu have involvement & they concede.

  6. DA Minnion (Former great)

    All set up for a one nil win to United.

    People actually triple captained Kane against Fred and Matic?

  8. nerd_is_the_werd

    Game-changing GW incoming!

    Any update on illness of Cancelo and Saint-Maximin from the training grounds?

    1. Hazz

      No

    Has Kane scored yet

    Where are the fpl doctors at? What do you guys make of the Salah injury?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Dr Drake Ramoray said Salah needs an amputation.

      1. NorCal Villan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Dr Mantis Toboggan thinks it’s merely a flesh wound

      2. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        That’s ridiculous. Dr Ramoray is a world-renowned Neurosurgeon. He’s not qualified to diagnose a leg injury!

  12. Piggs Boson

    Phil Jones criminally underused by Rangnick.

  13. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    In what minute do we be cry the Spurs triple up a season over failure?

    1. TopBinFC
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      60mins when united are 1.0 up

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      There'll be someone moaning after 10 minutes if Kane hasn't scored and Son/Kulu/Doherty hasn't assisted.

      1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        What! Kane hasn't scored and Son/Kulu/Doherty hasn't assisted yet? Season over.

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          😀

        2. JBay

          Spurs triple up was clearly a trap.

  14. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …

    4 years, 1 month ago

    So De Gea being out was lies as well. We’ve been taken for mugs.

    I captained Kane after hearing Henderson was playing

    1. TopBinFC
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Is DDG that good?

    2. Wolfman180
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Its still united, I wouldnt worry

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It wasn't lies. He tested positive, which is where the rumours came from. It was later deemed to be a false positive (retest?) hence he starts.

      I don't know how the rules work for the clubs now, but that's what's been reported.

    4. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Henderson is a good keeper - I hadn't realised that De Howler was such a fine one.

      1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Henderson is a very poor keeper.

  15. marcos11

    Still have one FH left and planning to WC31, should I just take a hit and play with what l have?

    White Sanchez
    Son Raph Kulu
    Laca Watkins

    Considering Salah > Coutinho and either Gilmour > Barnes or King > Jimenez for a hit to get to 9? Will be WCing 31 anyway.

    Conte has now has confidence in his team to play his favourite 3421 structure. I have only two spurs as of now, but a triple up might be a great way forward till GGW38 imo.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs will always be spurs though

      1. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, the only reason I'm not all in for the triple up yet.

  17. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago
