Saturday’s events continue with a batch of five afternoon kick-offs with Fantasy managers likely to be focused on events at Wembley Stadium.

Spurs host Stoke City with Harry Kane backed by 1.1 million managers as the leading captain pick for Gameweek 16.

This looks to be a make or break encounter for Kane’s Fantasy fortunes. He has blanked in eight of 14 starts so far and, more significantly, he’s produced goals and points in just two of his seven home outings.

Up against a Stoke City defence that have shipped 30 goals – second only to West Ham (32) – and allowed the most big chances (35) this season, Kane will surely get opportunities to underline his heavy-hitter status and restore the faith.

Meanwhile, Burnley’s popular defensive options will collide with Watford’s Richarlison at Turf Moor in a clash that will divide Fantasy managers. The Brazilian has returned a goal or an assist in six of his seven away trips so far, though he now faces a backline that has conceded just three goals in home matches. Ben Mee – owned by 13.7% – misses out for Sean Dyche’s side, while Matt Lowton is also sidelined.

Elsewhere, Huddersfield host Brighton at the John Smith’s Stadium with the visitors’ Pascal Gross the most popular Fantasy asset on show. The German is backed by 21.2% but has just a single return – his goal against Stoke in Gameweek 12 – from his last five Gameweeks.

Crystal Palace entertain Bournemouth at Selhurst Park with the likes of Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Wilfried Zaha drawing attention, while at the Liberty Stadium, Swansea City face a crunch contest with West Brom. Surprisingly, Tammy Abraham – owned by 11.1% – is benched by Swans’ boss Paul Clement in this one.

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

      Alive and well

    Why are people calling Son an idiot?

    If you owned him you would love his greedy side.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      He's no VDV 😉

      Isn’t it obvious?

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

      Agreed. Shame I don't know so he's a twat for now

    4. My Name Is Pepu
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 12 days ago

      Just because he didn't pass to their darling Kane.

      He's bailed Spuds on a number of occasions, lad can create something out of nothing.

      1. dark91
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 12 days ago

        He actually had 3 players to pass to not only Kane

        1. tm245
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 12 days ago

          This. His team had a 4v2 and the defender had closed the space on him, so a pass to one of the others might have been the better play.

        2. My Name Is Pepu
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 12 days ago

          You should realize that he's a striker. They will go for the goals if it's not far off.

          More importantly, he had a decent attempt which was well stopped. Didn't fire ot aimlessly which Kane does a lot of times and people go like "Oh, his stats are monstrous."

          1. dark91
            • 9 Years

            I am not defending Kane here but i am just criticising Son's (unproductive) selfishness

            1. My Name Is Pepu
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 12 days ago

              Which I agree to. Constructive criticism of yours is totally justified.

              However, like Ogie has pointed out, most of them flaking Son are Kane fanboys which is again understandable because they would have captained him.

      1. Pooodle
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 12 days ago

        I’m going to be left with Ward, Kenny and Alonso. Excellent.
