A day of goals and points aplenty ends with the main event as Spurs host Manchester United in the final fixture to be played at White Hart Lane.

A momentous day for the club, it’s unfortunate for Spurs and for owners of their key Fantasy assets, that the result is somewhat academic.

While Mauricio Pochettino’s men will look to provide their supporters with a fitting sign-off, they will need to lift themselves following the Gameweek 36 reverse at West Ham and Chelsea’s title-winning triumph that followed.

Fantasy managers will be hoping for a quick revival.

Dele Alli and Harry Kane head into the tea-time kick-off owned by 33.8% and 20% of FPL managers respectively, while Christian Eriksen is still found in 18.6% of squads. Kyle Walker also remains the top owned defender (30.7%), although he again misses out today with Kieran Trippier preferred at right-back.

For Kane, there should be no need for extra motivation. He will not only seek to score the final goal at White Hart Lane, he is still giving chase to both Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku in the race for the Golden Boot. He his currently level with Arsenal’s Chilean on 21 goals, trailing the Everton striker by three.

Kane has seven goals from his last six starts but has yet to score against visitors Manchester United in six attempts.

Jose Mourinho’s side arrive to present another line-up influenced by their Europa League campaign. The United manager makes predictable changes following Thursday’s hard-fought 1-1 draw with Celta Vigo as Wayne Rooney starts, along with Anthony Martial in attack.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

  3. F4L

    When will United fans start to get annoyed about Maureen's pre-historic tactics?

  4. afcblegend
    • 14 Years

    Wayne Rooney, swearing at refs since '02.

  5. Rainer

    2. afcblegend
      • 14 Years

      shot on target from tight angle was saved by De Gea. What are you constantly smoking?

  7. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    De Gea best player on the pitch.

  8. F4L
    • 11 Years

    Anyone seen the film "Colossal"? watched it last night and was surprisingly enjoyable after a rocky start

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years

      Just read the synopsis. 😆

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …

        really is worth a watch. Even does a good serious message (well....)

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years

          I'll check it out when it's online. 🙂

    Hahahhahahahhahaha bailly

  11. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Rooney spotted in a casino a few nights ago on his own and chucking away tens of thousands of pounds on roulette. One paper saying it was half a million quid in one session.

    Crikey.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years

      A weeks wages, he will be fine

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      well he's got the money

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        He won't have for long if he starts that lark.

    3. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Fake news planted by Pochetino to rile him up

    4. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Think you can see he's going very off the rails.

      I blame United management as well all the way back to Fergie, created a spoiled, entitled player and seeing it come back in force.

      1. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        who likes to sh*g grannies

  13. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years

    Kane is pretty selfish.

  15. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    My big concern about United if they win the Europa League is we'll be in the Champions League and might actually play Rooney. Don't think I could handle the embarrassment.

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Break the bank for Sanchez and play him a fwd?

    2. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      He has to go after this season 🙁 Eating up 250-300k of our wage budget for that shoite

      1. Lawrø
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Go where? Why would he leave?

        1. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Well dunno, no one would sign him tbh. And maybe if he wants gametime?

        2. Rash
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Hopefully everton take him off our hands

            • 14 Years

    3. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Nah, I'm sure Rooney leaves.
      It's obvious Jose is only playing him to allow Rash a rest

  16. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Boring game.

  17. EDEN THE MAN
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Do we reckon Hazard will start 37 or 38, reasoning ?

    Cheers

    1. Rash
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      38

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      38 ... Last game of the season

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Should appear in 37 - reasoning... because he's in my team 😀

  18. Viper

    8 years, 8 months ago

    Kane has spoiled 2 Eriksen assists 🙁

    Such fine margins in mini leagues at this time of season!

    1. vectorman
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Infuriating!!!... Oh well

    2. Hotdogs for Tea

    Spuds boys r a real let down

  20. Tansey

    Why hello there The Dembele Effect

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      i mean Kane's getting the chances, just cant blooming score

  21. borat
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    So kyle walker to mancity next season. He could be a great fpl prospect

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Not with Pep having Navas as his competition.

      1. borat
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah with ucl walker might only play in europe

    2. Sim Simma

      Rotation Risk

  22. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Owning Spurs players has been nothing but a constant disappointment all season. Alli and Kane gave me nothing but blanks earlier on, same for Eriksen and Kane now.

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      same 🙁

      1. vectorman
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        They've done really well for me to be fair but now I need them big style.. Could it be their attackers blank twice on the trot?

    2. Ben the Mee
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Bavies has been a bargain for me

      • RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Getting players at the right time = pretty important in FPL.

      • Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Disappointment..? If you look at overall points tallies, you'll find them towards the top... It's a marathon not a sprint

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          It's all about timing as Royscalleranne said - that's why I said 'disappointment for me'.

      • Rainer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Disappointing for a game and a half. Easy on.

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          I had Alli for 12 gameweeks earlier on - he scored 1 goal and 2 assists for my team overall.

      • Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Alli, Kane and Eriksen have been disappointments this season? What universe do u live in?

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Disappointments every time I owned them, see above for my Alli stats.

          1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Well when did u own them? Alli has what 16 goals and Kane 20? What do you want thirty goals from each lol

            1. Pierce34
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 8 months ago

              I got 1 goal from Alli over 12 gameweeks.

      • Deeney-is-a-god
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I see the frustration. They have been good for me but players like hazard and sigursson hasn't done anything for me

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Oh my god, don't even get me started on Hazard 😀 (that's 2 goals 3 assists over 15 gameweeks from him)

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Whos everyone captaining next GW?

      1. Rainer

          Who does Wanyama think he is? He isn't allowed to score, should be passing that to kane

          1. F4L
            • 11 Years

            he's not Dembele 😉

            He just wants to be part of a pub quiz question so badly.

            'Who scored the last goal at White Hart Lane?'

        6. camarozz
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Eriksen and Kane are doing my head in. A goal and an assist from them would prob win my ML for me.

          But same frm Son or Alli will finish me in ML.

          Who's more likely ?

          1. FPL Pillars
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Ali to score

            • 10 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            I don't think 3 points either way will finish you with so many matches to go.

        7. FPL Virgin

            Bit of an over reaction to BB fail.
