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.

    Which moved to do:

    A. Benteke to Aguero & Sterling to max 4.6 mid
    B. Benteke to Aguero & Hazard to max 6.5 mid
    C. Ibra to Aguero

    1. UshFPL

      B (with Snodgrass or Bolasie) or C imo

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

    A) Haz & Santi -> Payet & Sterling
    B) Haz & Tekkers -> Firm & Lukaku
    C) Haz & Tekkers -> Barry (start Capoue) & Kun
    D) Haz & Ibra -> Firm & Kun

    Have exact cash for A, B & C so will need to move tonight if doing A or B given Sterling and Lukaku look like rising....

    Sanchez, Haz, Antonio, Santi, Capoue
    Ibra, Benteke, Defoe

    Managed to get KDB and Kun in. All my eggs are in that basket.

    1. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 4 months ago

        KDB plays deeper with Aguero back. Should have went Sterling IMO.

      Baines or Coleman?

      1. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Baines unless Lukaku is taking penalties.

    5. Wally with the brolly
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Foster
      Valencia. Stones. Morgan
      Redmond Barkley. Townsend Haz
      Lukaku. Costa. Ibrahimovic
      Jaku. Capoue Friend. Pennington

      Do I need to WC? Considering just taking a hit to bring aguero back, maybe Ibra/haz to Kun/Sanchez?

    6. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Choose one :

      A) Mane/Firm & Bolasie

      B) Sterling & Lallana

      Appreciate your thoughts!

      1. MTPockets
          9 years, 4 months ago

          A assuming you'll have aguero.

        • semiconductor

          Took a hit for that team. Please tell me ur opinion. I need it to either WC or keep it for now.

          Foster jak
          Valencia morgan stones amat kingsley
          Sanchez sterling snodgrass zaha capoue
          Kun ibra lukaku

          Will play 2 of the 3 cheap mids every week.

        • Cooper123
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          So frustrating. 0.1 over the Wildcard team I want.

          Foster // Jaku

          Walker // Williams // Holebas // Kelly // Amat

          Sanchez // Firmino // Sterling // Antonio // Capoue

          Aguero // Lukaku // Deeney

          Need to choose between:
          A) Foster to Marshall (and just go with Hull keepers for their good fixtures, no fear of Jaku getting dropped); or
          B) Walker to Valencia (who I have currently); or
          C) Anything else.

          What do you reckon?

          1. MTPockets
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Foster to pickford and upgrade kelly?

              1. Cooper123
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 15 Years
                9 years, 4 months ago

                Was just thinking that; can't see Sunderland keeping a clean sheet ever though!

                That would let me get a 4.9 defender instead of Kelly though, e.g. Lovren. Might be worth it.

                1. MTPockets
                    9 years, 4 months ago

                    I'm debating it, as that (and cheaper defs) could get me aguero/lukaku/costa, but likely to cause a future problem.
                    One issue with your team (and mine) is who to bench, but right now just focused on best wc squad.

                    • 9 Years

                    Get Lovren

                You might be abld to make 0.1 if you jump on a a de bruyne double rise

            • OLEgend
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Isn't it safe to transfer out Kane as Spurs have their crucial UCL match in the midweek after next GW? He won't be risked against Middlesbrough right?

              1. KingNidge
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 4 months ago

                He will be out for a number of weeks i reckon looking at his injury

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

                other things could happen though

                • 10 Years
                9 years, 4 months ago

                You may have to do it out of necessity as he seemed badly injured.

                • 11 Years
                9 years, 4 months ago

                I want to get rid of Hazard either to Hojbjerg or Sterling depending on Kane's availability. Hazard Ihneacho > Hojbjerg Kun or Haz Kane > Sterling Kun

                Looks like he could be out for a while.

              Would you WC this? Cheers for any help.

              Foster Heaton
              Baines Shaw Stones Pieters Amat
              Haz Sanchez Firmino Redmond Capoue
              Gray Ibra Benteke

                • 11 Years
                9 years, 4 months ago

                Gray Benteke Shaw Redmond all got to go. Transfer Gray Benteke for a hit and bench Redmond, no need of Wildcard then.

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

                I'd personally get rid of Gray, Benteke, Redmond and Pieters. It depends on how many players you would want to get rid of.

            • MikeyBoro
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Barkley, Hazard, Ibrahimovic and Gray to Aguero, De Bruyne, Deeney and Capoue for a -8?

              1. Worzel Gummidge
                  9 years, 4 months ago

                  Easily for me but prefer Sterling to KDB. KDB plays deeper when Aguero is back.

                  1. MrMaverick
                    • 9 Years
                    9 years, 4 months ago

                    prefer sterling too atm but how does kdb play deeper? cm in a 433, just like when aguero was playing

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

                    So Aguero being is out is the reason for De Bruynes good form? Interesting, will consider Sterling thanks.

                    1. MikeyBoro
                      • 10 Years
                      9 years, 4 months ago

                      Doing this also lets me get Lukaku instead of Deeney, but I'm not sure who will score more points 😀

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

                        Lukaku definitely

                Coleman or Williams?

                    Just out of my price range.

                  • 9 Years

                  Williams

              3. MTPockets
                  9 years, 4 months ago

                  A) Sterling + Costa (Jaku Kelly Kingsley)
                  or
                  B) Sterling + Deeney (Heaton Walker Williams)

                  (Rest the same - Pickford - Holebas Evans Amat - Sanchez Firminho Antonio Capoue - Aguero Lukaku)

                    Since Walker played today, can we conclude he is safe from rotation?

                          Could be a lot better. Unlucky though. Still loads of time left

                        Which is best?
                        A) Sanchez Sterling Ibra
                        B) Sanchez Hazard Costa
                        C) Sanchez Sterling Costa+2m
                        D) Hazard Ozil Ibra
                        E) Hazard Ozil Costa+2m

                        I think its between A and C atm myself. Scared of ditching Ibra as he will be very hard to get back in.

                        Not sure about keeping Costa and Hazard due to Chelsea's fixtures

                            How do we know Baines is on pens or even considered?

                              took the last one and scored (kind of)

                              Wait until they get a penalty with both Baines and Lukaku on the pitch, see who takes it.

                            That jaku-pickford rotation doesn't look too bad.
                            saves lots of money

                                On one hand, yes it saves money. On the other hand, Sunderland are not exactly promising defensive returns and it limits flexibility at the back.

                              What is the defensive wildcard template now?

                              Is valencia still nailed?....Surely Shaw is safer?

                              Who will score more points in the next few weeks - Lukaku or Deeney?

                                Lukaku

                                Impossible to answer. Both should do well given form and fixtures.

                                I'd guess both would do well, would say Luk to score more

                                Hard to tell but, if in doubt, back the better player. Lukaku.

                                Safe money on Lukaku I would think

                              Who will score more over the next few weeks?

                                Bolasie has the better fixtures but seems to be an assister where Snod has a couple of bad fixtures yet everything goes through him for Hull so I would take Snod out of the two.

                                Depends on how many weeks exactly, after Liverpool and Chelsea, Hull's fixtures are awesome until GW16 in December....

                                Personally I like snod more
