A busy Sunday of football comes to its conclusion at White Hart Lane as Spurs and Sunderland go head-to-head in the 4.30pm kick-off.

The hosts’ 4-0 win over Stoke last weekend boosted out faith in the likes of Harry Kane and Dele Alli, yet their midweek Champions League loss to Monaco at Wembley suggests Mauricio Pochettino’s side have yet to hit top gear.

Christian Eriksen and Erik Lamela owners are left cursing their luck after the duo were named amongst the subs, with Mousa Dembele returning to the XI following a six-match suspension.

Certainly, the home side will be buoyed by their visitors’ second-half capitulation at home to Everton on Monday night.

The Black Cats have yet to win under David Moyes and, considering their current form, may well be lucky to avoid a repeat of the 4-1 reverse in the corresponding fixture last season.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    C) Snodgrass

      I have Bolasie and Lukaku going into this week, but am on a WC now. Bolasie is great value but so many mids are firing right now. I think we need to pick one from Antonio/Bolasie/Snodgrass to go with Capoue, or go 8.4m+ for a regular option.

    This is currently template I think.

    Foster--Jaku

    Shaw--Walker--Baines--Evans--Amat

    Sanchez--Firmino--Antonio--Snodgrass--Capoue

    Aguero--Lukaku--Benteke.

    I would love to have this team

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Ibrahimovic who's 60% owned missing from the template.

      1. EDEN THE MAN
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I meant to put Ibra/Kun

    2. ChristoBisto
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Sterling is owned by more than Antonio.

  3. OLLY G
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Is it madness on wildcard to choose Pickford and Jak?

    I know they are poor defences but they rotate pretty well:

    Palace H
    West Brom H
    Bournemouth/Stoke A
    Stoke H
    Watford A
    Southampton H
    Hull H
    West Brom H
    Boro A
    Palace H

    1. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Neither is fully nailed long-term

    2. st4rt__
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'm incredibly tempted. Allows me to have this:

      Jak - Pickford
      Walker - Williams - Holabas - Evans - Amat
      Alexis - Firmino - Sterling - Antonio - £4.4m
      Aguero - Lukaku - Deeney.

  4. Ajax Down Trees
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Foster - Pickford
    Valencia - Francis - Kone - Amat - Pieters
    Hazard - Ozil - Sterling - Capoue - Hojbjerg
    Costa - Ibra - Lukaku

    What on earth do I do with this lot....

    Was thinking downgrading ozil or hazard to antonio to upgrade any of the front 3 to aguero.... but theres many other issues too, pieters dropped and in a atrocious defence even if he plays, hojbjerg playing second fiddle also, ahh

    opinions?

  5. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    71 this week puts a big dilemma into my head..

    I was set on wildcarding, KDB, Lukaku, Ibra, Capoue all did well for me this week.

    But I have dead wood like... Gray, Stones, Valencia?, hazard?, and potentially injuries to Lukaku and Firmino...

    1. Acquafresca
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Wildcard and keep the points rolling

    2. ANON.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Not sure Lukaku and Firmino are injured. Valencia can stay and gray for this week. Even hazard isn't that urgent

      1. Grand Thibauto
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        This.

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Firmino back in training I heard. Lukaku may be an issue but probably not.

    4. Mr. Funny Name
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      If it's easy to get Aguero into your team without the wildcard then don't bother with it

  6. ANON.
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on this front 8?

    Mane, Firmino, Antonio, Snodgrass, Capoue
    Aguero, Ibra, Lukaku

    1. Mr. Funny Name
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I like it

    2. EDEN THE MAN
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Nice but ur f*cked if Liverpool flop

    3. Burton
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'd do Mane to an Arsenal player. If Cazorla, you'll be able to upgrade Snod.

    4. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Mane Firmino seems overkill

      1. ANON.
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Looks decent for 2 weeks. If it flops I have 2 transfers to sort it out

  7. Mr. Funny Name
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on which transfers to make appreciated:
    A) Lukaku + Hazard -> Aguero + Bolasie/Snodgrass
    B) Rondon, Hazard + Valencia -> Aguero, 4.5 mid + Holebas for a hit (means Capoue becomes 4th mid)

    1. ANON.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      B

  8. KISSES
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    What do you think of these two transfers guys:

    Hazard and Benteke out.
    Fletcher and Aguero in (will wait for Fletch to drop tonight).

    It'll give me:

    Heaton / Pickford
    Koscielny / Williams / Valencia / Amat / Kingsley
    Ozil / Antonio / Capoue / Sterling / Fletcher
    Lukaku / Zlatan / Aguero

  9. Defaid Daniel

    how to get kun back into this team
    chech/pickford
    walker/Williams/evans/-Collins/amat
    mane/ozil/Antonio/sterling/-Cattermole
    kane/lukaku/benteke
    1.4 itb get rid of kane I still need 0.6 mil

  10. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Aguero is on 40% to rise

    1. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I think he won't go up until his flag is removed.
      He will then be price protected and his price at 12.9 will stay for one week.

      1. Grand Thibauto
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        He went down before his flag was removed. He is increasing at a highrate according fffix

        1. FPL Puppy
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          What I meant was that he will probably not have enought transfers in to rise in price. Then, when his flag i removed, his price can't change because of price protection.

          I could be wrong though, he seems to be rising quite fast but I'm wondering how many transfers are WCs..

  11. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Went from 13k to 83k overall lol

    1. Chucky

      updated?

    2. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Not bad however

  12. FPL Puppy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Zuniga, progress +10.40% per hour. SAY WHAT??
    A lot of knee jerking going on!

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Fpl twitter praised him

      1. FPL Puppy
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Is he going to be a nailed starter? Played a total of 28 minutes in 5 GWs..
        Feels like a waste of a transfer..

  13. Magic Man
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Missed if i got any replies last time; Bolasie or Pereyra have capoue and have Lukaku

  14. Whazza
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    On WC, any major flaws? 0.4 itb.

    Foster Jaku
    Valencia Baines Holebas Kelly Amat
    Sterling Firmino Antonio Snodgrass Capoue
    Aguero Lukaku Ibra

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Nice but would like to have some Arsenal attack in there myself

    2. ANON.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Decent. I'm looking at the same for a -4 except maybe Firmino over Sterling. What are your thoughts on that? Better next 2 fixtures

      1. ANON.
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Also probably more nalied

      2. Whazza
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I have both but prefer Firmino if you have Kun

        1. ANON.
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Sorry I mean mane over sterling

          1. Whazza
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Why not, more expensive tho

    3. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Nope. Looks okeyish BUT have a plan for Sanchez after Chelsea game

      1. Whazza
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I think he's too expensive as I will captain Aguero/Ibra

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Burnley,Swansea,Boro,Sunderland.

          100% worth the pricetag and captain material

          1. Whazza
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            hmm you're prolly right!

  15. Mayo for Sam
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Best optioN,

    A, Ibra + Ozil > Kun + Sterling

    B, Ibra + Hazard + Ozil > Kun + Sanchez + Capoue (-4)

  16. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone got a 5.9m mid for me, looking at a couple of Palace boys anyone else? Got Capoue....

    1. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Snodgrass, next 2 tricky though but for bench

    2. Mr. Funny Name
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Snodgrass

    3. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Snodgrass

      1. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah thanks guys. As said though the next couple of fixtures are dodgy but as bench fodder hmmmm

    Foster - **
    Valencia - ** - Evans - Holebas - Amat
    Sanchez - Firmino - Sterling - ** - Capoue
    Aguero - Lukaku -**

    A) Heaton - Baines - Snodgrass - Benteke
    or
    B) Pickford - Williams - Antonio - Deeney

    1. ANON.

  19. ViewsFromThePo6ba

    If Hazard drops tonight, will you be selling?

    That would mean .1 of selling value.

  20. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Those with Snodgrass, would you play him against Liverpool?

    1. Jönny
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Suspect I will. Would be going four at the back if not.

    2. st4rt__
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Certainly.

    3. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Hellz ya

    4. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Between him and Capoue sadly. Will be trying to play AOA benching Stones.

    5. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I would if I had him. From what I've heard, Liverpool can't defend.

  21. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Is Firmino definitely available for gw6?

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

      Quite likely.

  22. Budweiser
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Firmino or Coutinho?

  23. A-S-H
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Will anyone risk Haz to Firm before the price drop or wait the week.

    1. Budweiser
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'd like answer too but I think I'm just gonna do it

  24. AdamB
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I bought Barkely for £7.6. If his price drops to £7.5 tomorrow, will I be selling him for £7.6 or £7.5 ?

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

      Bad news.

    2. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      7.5

    3. Burton
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Depends when you sell him. Before tonight = £7.6m, after tonight = £7.5m.

    4. AdamB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      So price falls don't work like price rises ?
      I thought it takes -£0.2 in price to lose £0.1 in selling.
      Thanks anyway !

  25. StopItHarold
    • 9 Years

    Help needed!!

    Here is team so far:

    Heaton Foster
    Dann Shaw Williams McAuley Amat
    Hazard Sanchez Sterling Capoue Bolasie
    Negredo Ibra Benteke

    I NEED to get in aguero and Im prepared to drop hazard and negredo to make it happen. Prepared to take a hit also ofc as I've only got 1 FT and 1.2 ITB

    HELP!

  26. Respect My Authoritah
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Ozil to Sanchez worth a hit this week?

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Definitely not this week. From next week, yes

  27. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos

      fplstatistics.co.uk

  28. Clickzy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Current team, two FTs to use

    Cech - Pickford

    Baines - Valencia - Collins - McAuley - Amat

    Sanchez - Hazard - Antonio - Puncheon - Capoue

    Ibra - Lukaku - Defoe

    See a lot of people on here taking out Ibra for Aguero, is it really worth it?

  29. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Benteke, Deeney or Slimani? Or other option around that price.

    Really struggling with my 3rd forward.

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Benteke or Deeney for me

  30. Clump
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Ibra to Kun, Hazard to Sterling. Would leave me 2.0 itb for next week.
    Seems solid?

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yep, sound.

      1. Clump
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Ta.

    2. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years

      Looks great.

      1. Clump
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Ta.

    3. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Almost perfect. Wouldn't love to sell Hazard personally. But he seems out of form.

      1. Clump
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, it's a worry. Check out fixtures though.

        1. Grand Thibauto
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah. No good fixture upto gw15. But nothing like a Chelsea matchday without celebrating Hazard goal for FPL as well.

          1. Clump
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago
