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.

    Typical Spurs. Double up on their attack and they choke.

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years

      13 mins gone

    2. Hazz

      Long time to go. At least you didn't bring in a defender like most.

  2. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    That’s spurs done as United will sit in now!

  3. Piggs Boson

    Shades of the old Ronaldo. What a strike.

  4. L'Aeroplanino
    • 9 Years

    OMG Ronaldo

  5. g40steve

    Spurs revert to form FFS

  6. AC/DC AFC

    No surprise.

    Spurs clean sheet gone.

  7. Magic Zico

    First correct prediction CR7 ... next Rashford and Son 😛

    Not sure Spurs are capable of coming from behind

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      wrong site

  9. MIGHTY JOE

    Siiiuuuu!!! Doherty owners in disbelief

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Nah, expected.

      1. MIGHTY JOE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Okok, my bad

    2. The Philosopher

      Live scenes of a few of them running naked on the street

  10. Rainer

    4 years, 24 days ago

    If it was like his free kicks it would have broke a flood light, Gary Neville.

    GOAT 1 - 0 Doubters

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Fred didn't score though, he assisted

    2. space mercenary
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      He has just overtaken Dennis, Raphina, Zaha and ESR in the goal stakes but still behind Ivan Toney who was playing championship football last year. Who could doubt such a GOAT with his record this season?

  12. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Just look at Bentacur ffs

  13. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    All United

  14. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Was always a dumb decision to get doherty for a - 4.. For cancelo.
    Thanks Ronaldo for being crap when i owned you and now scoring a screamer

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Your telling me you expected Spurs to keep a cleanie away to Utd?

      1. Gunneryank
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Yeah, i took a hit for Doherty without expecting a clean sheet. Vs Brighton would be nice though.

    2. Gunneryank
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Not if he gets and assist at any point or a clean sheet vs Brighton. Lot of football left.

      1. jacob1989
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Yeah the logic was doherty has 3 games to cancelo 's possible 1. Dont even know if cancelo fit

  15. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Lloris shouldn’t be getting beaten from there considering it wasn’t even in the corner

  16. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Form is temporary. Class is permanent. Ronaldo to cost 14m next season

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      MLS Fantasy any good?

      1. NorCal Villan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 24 days ago

        If he comes here he might want to avoid Las Vegas

        1. Gunneryank
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 24 days ago

          Surely LA Galaxy will pay him? Seems like a good fit haha.

          1. NorCal Villan
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 24 days ago

            I was referring to his legal issues in Las Vegas

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      By that logic Lampard should be starting himself

    3. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Provided he hasn't gone to Miami or Qatar or somewhere like that.

  17. nerd_is_the_werd

    Cowardly defending

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Interesting scene of Dier there ...

  18. Bishopool
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    CR7 to Kane going well

  19. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    That was definitely Dier there.

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      I hope that he never pulls on an England shirt again.

  20. _Make
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Anyone feasting in the mud yet?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      My GW4 team with Ronaldo and Toney!

      1. _Make
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 24 days ago

        Nice!

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Fred mudded Spurs after that clever flick.

  21. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Clean sheets vs. Leeds and Everton were a trap, shock!

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Were people really expecting a clean sheet at old trafford?

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 24 days ago

        I think Doherty was the most transferred in defender since Alonso in GW7

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 24 days ago

          I got Doherty too, I wasn’t expecting a clean sheet here though

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      No news 😉

    3. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Doherty brought in for attacking returns primarily

  22. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Congrats fellow Ronaldo owners!!! Ronaldo is essential!

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      Well, in parallel universe...

  23. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Pogbald

  24. More Cowbell
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    No one bought Doherty for the clean sheet points lol

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      You can remove 'clean sheet' from that sentence.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 24 days ago

      You can judge from how quiet it is how gutted the new owners are though.

  25. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Surprised AWB didn't start vs Son.

  26. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    So the problem of manu was bruno and not ronaldo.
    ManU look much better without bruno.

  27. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Bentancur 😮

  28. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 24 days ago

    Davies goal disallowed

    Son assist denied

  29. BeWater
    • 5 Years
