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.

  4. One More Hit
    • 7 Years

  5. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Lol why so many people trashing on Doherty owners 😛

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Salah captainers in pain lashing out

      1. TopBinFC
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        Salah scored?

        1. It's Fergie Time
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 10 days ago

          a gift pen, a liVARpool special

      2. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        this, failed Salah caps. Bloodied and crying, attscking everyone aorund them because of their own decisions.

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Because they couldn't get him.

    3. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      It's fun to trash the new bandwagon owners when you don't own him 😉

    4. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      People hate on other player's picks since forever.

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        It's usually a big player that a lot of people captained. Weird to see over a 4.8m defender

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Biggest bandwagon for a defender since Alonso in GW7 lol

  6. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Wonder how those that sold Son are feeling looking at this considering the spaces he's getting into

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Hiding behind a sofa?

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      No points for getting into space

      Just ask his owners from last week

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        +xGiS

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 10 days ago

          Son has been historically "quite decent" to match his xGi

      2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        I owned him last week and enjoyed his points

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Nah Kane is far better, obviously worth selling Son for him for a -4

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        I have both so I won't complain about points from either!

      2. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        Cool kids have both!

    4. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Son sellers will be punished either this or next gameweek. That's a well known fact.

    5. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Son looked very lively in last match also, I fear history repeating itself.

      1. NorCal Villan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        I don’t fear it, I welcome it

  7. pakornk
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Never offside from Davies.

  8. circusmonkey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Anyone else had trouble finding a pub showing it? These twice a year egg chasers really take the pi**.

    Third pub has it, well done the Jolly Friar in Basildon. (I'm not from Basildon).

    1. pakornk
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      have no idea what you said mate.

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        He is upset that pubs are showing six nations rugby

      2. circusmonkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        So egg chasing = what football fans call rugby. And we get these middle class rugby fans taking over venues a handful of times a year and cutting off what at half time has been a brilliant football game. And they even follow rugby week in week out. But they think rugby is middle class and football is working class, because they haven't moved on from the 1980s.

        1. circusmonkey
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 10 days ago

          Don't follow

  9. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    United using possession intelligently. This is weird to see.

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      The no bruno effect

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        No it's definitely a entire team thing. This has been coached.

  10. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Hmm Spurs can't get going

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      When United start well they are very good.

      Rarely put two good halves together though.

  11. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Kane not touched the ball. Son looking way better

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      As always? 😉

  12. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Any reason for Kulu not playing?

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Back ache

    2. Jason Bourne
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      he is playing

    3. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Apparently suffering from a playing for a sh*t team syndrome

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        Haha aye

  13. banskt
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Doherty bandwagon crashing tonight?

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      People will sell him soon to fund Toney?!?

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Looks lovely tbf. Not sure people got him for the clean sheet 😆

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        Lively* but lovely works too 🙂

    3. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Plays in GW30 and is cheap so probably not

  14. Under my Cucurella
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Thinking ahead to GW30 can get a full 11 out with a -4 if I make one of the following moves. For A would have to do Broja to Toney tonight to avoid price changes as exact money for those moves

    A: Broja Liv > Toney Cash (-4)
    B: Broja Liv > Amartey Ings (-4)

    Sa
    Doherty White
    Saka Raph Kulu Ramsey
    Kane Jimi

    Foster Liv Broja Rudiger TAA Salah

  15. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Got a feeling Canceloooo is going to punish sellers this GW!

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      They'll be sick if that happens.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Yeah it's me, luckily for Robbo so may not be too disastrous

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Hope he is fit to play

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Bentancur just slows everything down

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Needs to get with it too much side to side & back passes

  17. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    That was poor from Kulusevski ffs

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      Had Son for the tap in if he looked up

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        Exactly

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      How much time does he need to pick out a pass?!

  18. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Dier yc

  19. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Spurs looking dangerous. Bit of desperate defending from Man Utd to block all the shots and through-balls.

  20. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    YC Dier

  21. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Matic can't get near Kane, Spurs just have to take the chance when it comes.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      They are slowly getting more control in the middle

  22. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Can Kulusevski not cross with his right foot?

  23. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Never expected this version of United to turn up.

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 days ago

      They’ve been crap other than a moment of brilliance from Ronaldo tbh

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 10 days ago

        More the 'bodies on the line defending' I was referring to.

  24. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    How is Bentacur a footballer. This dude is pants

  25. Herger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Only CR7 could score that. SIUUUUUUUUUUU

  26. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Bentancur has been naff. Slow reactions.

  27. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Dier on free kicks

  28. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 days ago

    Don't say Dier takes this smh

  29. Quality Quality Qualit
