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.

    Eriksen > Couthino looking pretty certain then...

    Keeping Kane thus ignoring Sturridge

    1. rdamjan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Not Hazard to Cout?

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

        Hazard vs Sunderland? Defo keep.

      2. Qubit
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        How sure are we Haz will miss final game?

    2. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Sure about that now?

    Can someone send me a link to that miss by useless Bailly? Apparently he should have scored. Already have a beer by my side that's getting too warm and I'd think that miss will force me to gulp it all down at once.

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

      Didn't miss, just passed (badly) when in posish to shoot

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

    Out of Costa Jesus vardy who would you ship for Sturridge? Fear is Costa could go mad against Sunderland

    Might just avoid and get coutinho

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

      None. I'm shipping Gabbiadini

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

      Costa or jesus. If Jesus rested next for aguero then probably him

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

        I've got my captain on vardy as it stands so likely to keep him

    3. The Iron Tulip
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Vardy for me

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

        Why would u ditch vardy instead of costa or Jesus? Vardy guaranteed start, costa and Jesus both massive rotation risks. It's a no brainier imo

        1. The Iron Tulip
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Just don't see there being much being them and Bournemouth. My gut says Jesus will play the rest of the games as pep rates him highly and city need to win. Chelsea vs Sunderland - There is a risk Costa doesn't play but they play the worst team in the league so could be a drumming if he does start which he probabaly will

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

            My thinking is if he's rested for Watford he starts Sunderland and vice versa.

    Would you take a -8 going into the final week??

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      No.

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

      Yes of course, especially if it involves chasing last week's points.

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Yes.

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Yes if you were taking out injured or rested players and bringing in form players with something to play for

  5. The Iron Tulip
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Early thoughts on this for -4?

    Hazard - Ali - Gabbi

    Coutinho - Sane - Sturridge

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Chasing points.

      1. The Iron Tulip
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        More like Liverpool have something to play for and so does city and Chelsea/Spurs don't?

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

      Relax them knees

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      The Hazard and Gabbiadini bit yes

      1. The Iron Tulip
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Need Ali out to free funds for the other 2...

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          In which case yes, but I would consider Llorente instead of Sturridge

          1. The Iron Tulip
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Decent shout! Thanks
