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 sort of hate that Gary Neville is really enjoying this.

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

      But Aaron Neville is having a rough day, he’s Spurs to the core
      😎

    1. tbos83
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He had something with his knee but he walked off so hopefully not too serious

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Was his foot/ankle I think

    2. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

    Doh points will come the 2nd game ... if he plays 🙂

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

      I can guarantee you they wont

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

        I know because you brought him in? I cast the spell ...

    2. MagicMessi
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Kane just blocked Dohrty sitter

    3. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      At this pace I regret that I didn’t keep James for his blank.

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

    Apologies for being Doherty in for a hit but all agreed with the move

    1. rupopo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Apologies accepted

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Looks very good so far, guess you didn’t get him for the clean sheets?

  5. RogDog_jimmy
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Fun game of football!
    Very glad to have no defenders from either team right now.

    @City_Xtra
    Just in: Joao Cancelo returned to #ManCity training today.

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Damn, sounds bad for owners

    2. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      lovely

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

      Only today, not ideal for owners.

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

      Lovely

    5. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Oh that's great news. I'm one of the few Cancelo holders at this point. He's one of my biggest differentials this week.

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

        Are we really so few...

      2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I have held on too! Him and Son.

      3. Jam0sh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I think there's more than a few of us..

    6. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Had Tarkowski (0 points) coming in if he didn’t play, fingers crossed he starts

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

    Does James to Doherty -4 pay off over GW29 & GW30? 😆

    Have to include a potential sub for James this GW too...

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Probably not.. James massive haul in 31 also won't help.

  8. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Kane defending a great Kulu chance.

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      *Doherty chance

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

    Urgh! Doherty tap in! Horrible Harry

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Wow did not notice that until replay...

  10. HonestBlatter
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Kane ruins Doherty goal. Story of my Kaneless life

  11. RogDog_jimmy
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Way to go Kane stopping a Doherty shot!

  12. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Kane only owned by 55% in the top 10k?? And captained by just 5%

    Thought that goal hurt me but not capping
    Guess I'll have a couple more

    1. tbos83
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Many (me included) have had Son for ages and haven't had funds to bring him in. Looking forward to fh next week

  13. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ronaldo could not score from one meter against Watford and Leeds in my team as differential. 😀 One more reason to dislike.

  14. FPL Brains
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Don't take Son out for Kulu they said.

    Ffs.

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      He got single assist lmao

    2. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Son hatty in the second half

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        The Son rises.

        In the locker room Spurs will remember this is just ManU. Ater eveyrone has had a goood laugh they will go back out and win 2-5

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

      Don’t let them manage your team again mate

      1. FPL Brains

        • 14 Years

        For real man.

    4. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years

      Dude we still have sec half and another match

  15. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Spurs being Spurs I see

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

      Triple Spurs cursed

  16. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Doherty getting hooked isn't he?

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

      Lucky there wasn't a VAR red check.

    2. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Nope. Spurs must score and Doherty will do it second half

    3. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Will be shocked if Royal doesn’t come on pre-60.

  17. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Another Doh demolition by Sancho

  18. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Obviously hoping for more but that's my first return from a TC. Had the infamous Mane and Sane flops and last year used it on Bruno who blanked each game

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      At least it's better than the infamous Carroll TC that some of us did.

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

        What did he end up on?

        1. Hairy Potter
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          It was probably 4 in the end as it was a DGW, but it's as much the fact that in hindsight of course using a TC on Andy Carroll was bonkers.

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Salah TC in 26 was the most obvious TC in the history of FPL

      Still got a red arrow

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

        Still amazed how many people didn't do it.

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

          I used bench boost and hit just under 150pts so I was pretty happy, I wanted to have a bit more fun with it

      2. Kun Tozser
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        My FH returned 162 , TC would have been much less

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

    Haven't check Twitter but I presume #ThankYouGlazers is trending after that first half...

    Sancho & Ronaldo running riot!

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

      😆 Don't try too hard mate

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

      Not until they get Haaland and Mbappe and all the other shiny new toys

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      ManU shares are up 3.5% after the second goal

  20. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Doesn't every man and his dog afford to have Son, Kane and Salah at this stage?!?

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

      Remember when 3-4 big hitters were discussed ages ago.

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

        From that conversation, only Salah remains.

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I can't. Not just because of Kane's price, but because of where I've spent the funds. Here's the target:

      Sa . Foster
      TAA Robbo Cancelo James Doc
      Salah Son Havertz Madders Saka
      Jim Toney Gelhardt

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        4-5-1 dancing with 5-4-1, except on some weird GWs

      2. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Ok, with that team I agree.

    3. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I think teams are finding it hard with the amount invested at the back

  21. WVA
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Bring Son and Doherty on at HT please

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Take Super Saints off at halftime 🙂

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

        Haha

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

    DGW hype at it's best, played Dier ahead of both Coady and RAN, so stupid.

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

      It was the right decision, header cleared off the line.

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

        Coady and RAN 6 pointers looking at me tomorrow evening, Dier on -1 already

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

          You should have sold Dier for Matip so.

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

            Or Doherty 🙂 lol

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Bringing in Doherty for a hit and benching Broja

      You know what happens

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

        I still dont take any hits ever on fpl, just not worth it if you have playing players on bench

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

          In general I'm the same but I do listen to advice on here and it was a resounding yes to the move

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

            Well I guess it depends. Many told me on here to play Broja ahead of Toney, i played Toney. You have to go with you gut. Doherty had 2 good games against an awful Everton and Leeds team. Hes not even nailed this season

        2. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I disagree. Hits don't hurt during dgw:s.

      2. circusmonkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        There is no definitive 'Broja is dropped' information, just speculation, so you should have just played him.

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

          Loooool love this

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

            Well was there? You're the Saints ITK.

    3. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yep I'm currently also enjoying my dier -1 points

  23. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    If Utd win this Arsenal can't possibly not get top 4

  24. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Arsenal will never get top 4, if they don’t get it this season

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I still find it impossible to believe Man Utd can not finish top 4 after the money they’ve spent

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        When you watch what’s happening on the pitch, there is your answer. I think Spurs will get it if Arsenal don’t.

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No European football makes a massive difference to PL performance.

      Watch out for Leicester next season.....

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        For sure. Last time one if the big teams was not in any European comp they won the league (Chelsea)

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

        Too bad Burnley couldn't get top 4 with no European football. And not even premier league football for most parts of December/January.

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

          Though I get your point. I'm only joking.

    3. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Arsenal shd get top 4 but they shd have got top 4 in the emery season too with less games to than right now and in equally good position

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, that season hurt a lot. We were so close, had the best run in and then didn’t win one of Palace, Wolves, Leicester and Brighton and bottled the Europa league final.

        This current team is our best team in about 6 years but if we don’t get it now, we never will. United and Spurs are so poor.

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

      Top 4 surely for Arsenal

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Hopefully 🙂

    5. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I don't wanna jinx it but we really should finish fourth. Can't afford to lose games against Tottenham and United though.

  25. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Yous to think Reguilon was a decent player but he’s looked dreadful tonight! One to fully avoid going forward surely?

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

      Used!!

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He really is an awful defender.

    3. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Agree he’s very poor tonight obviously Conte saw it from the start

  26. bench boost for every gamew…
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    My god are people expecting 15 points from Doc every game? You bought this guy for his attacking potential, and Spurs are not keeping cs. Just this first half, one half chance vintage Doc, and Kane away from a big chance, most likely goal. Thats what you pay 4. 7 for. You have White for cs, Doc is for attacking points.

    1. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Ssssdh we don't want any voice of reason in these reasons

  27. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Who is this ronaldo fella? Worth getting !

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He’s Utd’s 1st choice striker - knocking on a bit now but he’s had an incredible career - came from Madrid (but had a spell at Utd before that)

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I had him when he didn’t knew where the goal was !! Crying !

      2. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        Seriously? 😛

    I mentioned above, but maybe some of you guys dont know this or never looked at it. But ManU is traded on the New York stock exchange, one of very few clubs which is publically traded. I think Juventus is as well?

    Basically this is just another way for the Glazers to screw ManU fans, they paint this as an opporutuntiy for fans to partly own the club (lol), but all the Glazers actually do is just use it as another weapon against ManU fans and to make more money.

    I find it pretty funny, but I guess sad, that their fans actually buy ManU stock 😀

      If they want to come and screw us over at Bristol City by spending over a billion pounds in less than 10 years on the playing squad, we’ll happily take them off Utd’s hands 🙂

        The debt would cripple you haha, they bought ManU with loans and then made ManU pay the loans back. Not sure how thats even legal tbh.

        They have spent £0.00 on United. In fact, they've taken well over billion out of it.

        The transfer money came from fans and sponsors.

      United fans have owned shares for a long time, before the Glazers. It was through that the fans were able to stop the Murdoch takeover in the nineties.

      But enjoy your fun world mate

        The Glazers put it on the NYSE.

      Think all listed football club shares have been pretty poor investments from memory

    Finally Man Utd fans are happy for 15 mins, I think they will drop back to their caves after the full 90

      I predicted 2-1 United, so may be not ... but I mostly got wrong on United ...

      At the start, less space as the game progresses.

      Making great runs but not getting picked up. It feels like one of those games that Son misses out....
