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.

    what time do the prices change tonight?

      Same time every night, look below.

    Valencia to Walker on a WC?

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

      Yes. Rising tonight too

  3. Enzo the Baker
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    How does this sound for an Aguero plan ? Might need to make the moves tonight.

    Negredo + Hazard + Valencia -> Aguero + Snodgrass + Kingsley

    Would cost -4 and have 0.0 itB. Team would be :

    Heaton
    Williams McAuley Koné
    Sanchez Sterling Antonio Snodgrass
    Aguero(c) Ibra Lukaku

    With Capoue as first sub in case one of the attackers miss out.

    9 years, 4 months ago

    Assuming Costa rises 0.1m and Hazard falls 0.1m and Aguero stays at 12.9m I have the exact funds to do:

    Hazard > Sanchez (no other Arsenal 'cover;)
    and
    Costa > Aguero (I have Sterling already)

    Both would be for a hit, needed to use FT to fix elsewhere.

      Go with your head

  5. pundit of punts

    What's more likely over this week?

    KDB rising twice or Snodgrass rising twice?

    Not taking into account the rise that KDB got on the Friday night.

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

      KDB. And this based on Hazard fire sale and other in the same price range.

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

      both once

    Evening All,

    I hope everyone had a decent game week. I for one regret my transfers this week game week. I took out sanchez and costa and Diomande for Kane Vardy and Barry minus 8. I benched Barry he scored which normally once a season. Didn't end to bad final gw points 67pts can't complain. Thinking ahead to next game I'm thinking of doing the following bring back Sanchez for Hazard and Deeney for Kane and Vardy for Aguero minus 8.
    Next week team.

    Foster
    Shaw Collins Baines

    Sanchez Antonio Capoue Sterling
    Ibra Aguero Deene
    Worth it?

  7. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Snodgrass.

    2. Lecky Legs FC

    9 years, 4 months ago

    How is my WC squad looking guys? Defence a bit weak? 0 ITB

    Foster - Pickford
    Kelly - Amat - Williams - Stones - Evans
    KDB - Antonio - Snoddy - Townsend - Capoue
    Kun - Ibra - Lukaku

    1. The Man Pastore
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      mid is too weak

    2. Ange Ball
      • 10 Years

      Decent needs work

    3. Ange Ball

  10. camarozz

    9 years, 4 months ago

    Couple questions aftr wk ends games.
    Is capoue 4th or 5th mid?
    With Valencia, stones,redmond, lamela and needing kun back (funds itb)
    Time to WC? Yeah?

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

      My opinion.
      Capoue 4th mid, especially with those upcoming fixtures.
      WC, yes. Good week to catch some price rises to build up your team value - then chose your final WC team before the deadline.

    2. MTPockets
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Capoue starts.
        I've wilcarded for 4 of those 5 reasons + mahrez + gray.
        Gd luck.

    3. Pedram
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Lots of people are buying Snodgrass, is he likely to rise tonight?

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

        Maybe. On 93.3% on ffs

    4. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I guess most have 3 listed . Who's making way for Aguero?

      A - Ibrahimovic
      B - Benteke
      C - Lukaku
      D - Costa
      E - Defoe
      F - Other

        Lukaku to slimani seem daft ?

        1. Cecil The Lion
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Yes

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

          Seeing there are midweek games, yes.

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

          Yes

        4. Rolls-Royce
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Knee jerk of highest magnitude.

        5. Mickeylicious
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          You know the answer

      9. Elijah's Wood
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        To afford Aguero which transfer seems best:

        A) Hazard -> Sterling/literally anyone up to £10m
        B) Benteke -> Deeney

        Sanchez Hazard Antonio Snoddy Capoue
        Ibra Lukaku Benteke

        1. Defcons are for Kinnear
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          A

          1. Elijah's Wood
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            A would mean benching Snoddy (cant keep missing out on Capoue points!), I think get rid of Benteke after Sunderland then for Deeney

        2. Ange Ball
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          A

          1. Elijah's Wood
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Thanks KL

      10. Norb
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        A) Kelly/Pieters/Britos + Snodgrass
        B) Holebas + King

        For A need 4.4 DEF. The DEF will be 4th choice.

      11. Mickeylicious
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Foster heaton
        Valencia friend stones Pieters Lenihan
        Hazard Antonio mane bolasie Capoue
        Zlatan Kane gray

        Surely I have to hit the we button right?

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

          Midfield and forwards look great except Gray. Defense need a bit of work

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

            Thanks. I know it is not a bad team but price rises to May inform players worry me.
            Lukaku Costa sterling walker snoddy etc all these could be in place to f Valencia pieters....

      12. Still Unsure
          9 years, 4 months ago

          OK, I'm thinking Lamela, Hazard and Ibra to Mane, Sterling and Aguero.

          Pretty happy with those moves, despite it being a -4 and having to make the moves so early due to price rises.

          1. Defcons are for Kinnear
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Go for it

          2. Ange Ball
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Sounds good do it mane will score big next week

          3. Stats Don\'t Lie
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Really good moves.

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

            Good moves I think, once you accept that selling players like Haz and Ibra always carries risk.

            1. Still Unsure
                9 years, 4 months ago

                Yep. It is what it is. Can't have everyone 🙂

            Do keep hold of Barkley for a bit longer or double up with Sterling/Aguero

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

              I think you should lose Barkley as soon as possible.

              • 10 Years

              Get rid for Sterling

            3. Mickeylicious
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Get sterling asap

            • 16 Years

            Pickford nailed now? Worth getting?

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

              Not nailed, but he is showing that he intends to be their first choice.

                • 9 Years
                9 years, 4 months ago

                Tres bien

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

            Hazard -> Mane
            or
            Ozil -> Firm

            It's either Arsenal or Chelsea coverage for me. Tough decisions...

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

              Definitely Ozil -> Firm.
              I think Firmino will get a similar amount of points as Mane for a smaller price, and Hazard much more dangerous than Ozil

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

                Cheers, not worried about Hazards form the last 2 games? Both players have been as bad for me. I'm torn between this.

            Surely these exaggerated rates of transfers in and out are 80% wildcards. No?

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

              Would assume so.

            Probable double risers this week?

            1. For Fuchs Sake
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Sterling defo!

              • 16 Years

              Anyone rising tonight.

            3. faver
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Sterling
              Lukaku
              MAYBE Nacho/Antonio

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

                Nacho will stop rising when casuals realize Kun is back.

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

              Capoue (already rose 0.1)
              Sterling (will rise tonight)
              KDB (already rose 0.1)
              Antonio (will rise tonight)
              Lukaku maybe

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

                Also hoping for Nacho, think I'll bring him in on WC just in case

            5. popcoin
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              De Bruyne. Already gone +0.1 and is 90% towards another rise.

              Sterling, Antonio, Lukaku and Walker going +0.1 tonight.
              They could all feasibly rise again later in the week.

            How's about this for a -8????

            nacho, ozil and hazard for aguero, firminho and walcott (-8pts)

            either that or take out ibra/lukaku to get aguero and kdb in but i think overkill as already have sterling

            Team needs some changes after terrible week
            Lamela Fletcher Firmino Barkley Hazard
            Rondon Ibra Costa

            How do these sound?
            Rondon > Kun
            Ibra > Lukaku
            Hazard > Sanchez
            Barkley > capoue
