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.

    Why no goal from Doherty yet? I want to request a refund.

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He always dodges points when I have him in my team.

    2. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Refund available at the Cancelo corner

    3. Bod
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      One more game to go yet…

  2. JBG
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Did Hojbjerg actually keep up with Rashford there? Despite Rashford having like half a yard on him?

  3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Is Neville over critical on united?

    Just constantly moaning and criticising them on commentary. Can’t remember him doing that to any other team

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

      Think he's trying to imitate Keane, and doing quite badly at it.

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Just just a bit strange. I mean united are not great but they are not as bad as Neville is making out

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

          Yeah, they're not consistent is all. I don't think Ragnick is the man for them, but still, as you said, I don't think they're showing anything remotely close to relegation form like Neville paints them to be.

    2. JBG
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He's trying to be neutral... But it just goes over to being over critical tbh.

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah he over compensates to appear unbias, similar to Carragher, before they wet themselves when their team score.

    4. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He's harsh but fair in my opinion

    5. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      It's like he's hyper-aware of accusations of pro-Utd bias so makes a point of hammering at every opportunity. Does something similar when he mentions his time at Valencia because he knows that's going to be used as a stick to beat him with.

    6. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Ex-Man Utd players turned pundits remind me of the last generation of pundits in the 90s who were ex-Liverpool players. They struggle to understand that their former club is the dominant force it was when they played.

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        *is not the dominant force

  4. JBG
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Pogba as always thinking he has all the time in world.

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

      He does

      ...while having his hair done

  5. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Regi working his way towards another benching on this performance

  6. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Reguilon has Bern dreadful

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      *been

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

      So so bad

    3. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Probably just wants to run back to his beautiful girlfriend

  7. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Apparently Chelsea don't have enough money to pay salaries 🙄

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

      Another rant from Lukaku incoming

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I’m sure the players can afford a few years of IOU’s, all multi millionaires

    3. SINGH
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I think you will find a lot of their funding came from Abramovich. Without him and sponsors pulling out they are going to face fiancial difficulty

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Agree. Even now they're not an attractive brand

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

      That suspension of their accounts wont last long.

    5. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Couldn't happen to a nicer club.

    6. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Interesting
      Obviously these guys so rich they can afford not be payed for a few weeks but wonder what impact it will have on morale

    7. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      £28 million a month in wages outgoing i think.

      Barclays bank not willing to carry any credit lines.

      Stolen Russian oil money set the tone for all sorts of takeovers of English football club in a game of geo politics ego and manoeuvres.

      Yet they all passed the fit and proper test for ownership!

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Is that all? Surprised its not mroe given their loan system. I also wonder what steps are beign taken agaisnt Chelsea's european feeders clubs.

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah, I did think that about the loans too.

          Guess sweeping up talent is fairly easy when it's national assets flowing out of your ears!!

    8. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Gutted for Chelsea, couldn’t happen to a nicer club

  8. SINGH
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    If Salah is out with injury should I bring in Gray or Mbuemo for BGW?

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Keep Salah and play a man down.

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

      Gray would be an interesting choice.

    3. Bod
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Personally wouldn’t drop him unless he’s going to be out for at least two gameweeks

    4. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Gray or Mbeumo to replace Salah. That'll probably go down as one of the golden moves in fantasy football history.

    5. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Just keep Salah

    6. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Have a feeling Gray will haul in GW30, great fixture!

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

    Is there any player on the pitch actually top tier a side from Kane, Ronaldo and Son?

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      DDG? Maybe

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

        A few years ago maybe. More second tier now when you think of the other world class goalkeepers playing now

        1. TheTinman
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Not fashionable anymore because he's not a ball playing giant, but he's pulled off more big saves this season than any of the Tier 1 keepers I reckon. Still, he's no Dubravka.

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

            Haha he isn’t. Yeah tend to agree tbf. Perhaps you could include him. But if this is all Liverpool and Man City have to worry about they are laughing! Until the mags come calling 🙂 …

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Kulu has been pretty good this game.

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        And every other game since his arrival

      2. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Certainly showing potential.

      3. yousunkmybattleship
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Looks the real deal

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

        That’s true tbf. Looks a good prospect for the future

  10. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    RoNaLdO iS tHe PrObLeM 🙄

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Conviniently forgetting the games where he's been utter crap and utd games without him where they've looked far better

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I've always maintained Utds problem is their CM and CBs. Their spine is awful. Stick Ronaldo in any decent team and he will bang a lot of goals.

        1. JBG
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          This

  11. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Another pensioner about to enter

  12. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Bent & Regi are spaced out today

  13. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Bentacur and Reguillon have been terrible.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Correct

    2. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Especially Bentacur

  14. yousunkmybattleship
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Regulon making a strong argument for Sess to come straight back into the team

    1. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Doherty LWB, Emerson RWB.

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Guess Reggie won’t play next match or next GW lol

    3. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      When people said in the first half that Doc could get benched for that performance, I wondered if they'd watched Royal in any minute of any game this season

      Royal makes Doc nailed atm. Reguilon makes Sess nailed atm

  15. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Doherty could be dropped after this performance

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He can't drop him and Reguilon.

  16. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Doherty with a wicked ball in

  17. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Manchester City, Chelsea and Newcastle United next s pretty much like playing FPL with a £300 million budget and 25 players in your squad to call upon compared to most of the rest of the teams.

  18. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Doherty can't cross a ball. He's never been good at it. He makes his living making late runs into the box and cutting inside.

  19. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Son big chance, Kulu pass.

  20. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

  24. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4 years, 2 months ago

    Son I needed that, argh.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        No, wasn't saying it was. Fast into feet & running into the shot.

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      So did I

  25. Gudjohnsen

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

      Reverse might be even better

  28. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Come on Son, step up already.

  29. Forza Papac
