The penultimate match of Gameweek 19 has us drop in on Turf Moor as Burnley host Tottenham Hotspur.

Fantasy managers will be suffering split loyalties in this one, with Harry Kane clearly the key attacking asset on the pitch, up against the resilient and widely owned Burnley defence.

Kane goes into this encounter still in 2.1 million squads but having suffered ownership losses in both his previous two Gameweeks. Indeed, some 108,000 moved him out ahead of this match.

Even so, the Spurs striker is the Gameweek’s most popular captain with the backing of 867,000, just 40% of his remaining managers.

He will be tested by the Clarets backline that has conceded just three goals in home matches. However with James Tarkowski suspended and Stephen Ward still sidelined by injury, Sean Dyche’s rearguard could be stretched.

Ben Mee is still found in 724,000 squads and starts, while goalkeeper Nick Pope – owned by 357,000 – will be charged with repelling Kane and the likes of Christian Eriksen and Son Heung-min.

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

      actually, a yellow would suffice

      A yellow card plus a hammy in the 25th minute will do

  2. We Will Klopp you

    Would you rather have

    A) Kenny in a 3 way rotation with Dunk and Masuaku (Quaner the other member of bench_

    B) Jones with a bench of Dunk, Quaner and Mbemba

    1. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      B. Definitely if Jones is the only man united defence in your team

    2. Flynny
      • 10 Years

      I think anyone could get a test at any time

    3. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I thought he might get a ban for diving. I only saw the penalty call once and on a small screen though.

  6. GOTHAM City F.C.

    I do want Kane to score so that I can confidently bring him back for GW22

  7. diesel001

    Kane time.

    I just hope Spurs fight in midfield. Don't let Burnley bully them.

    Does anyone have a small child they no longer love and is willing to sacrifice for a Kane hatrick?

          Got to see how Pogba effects things first

        2. Yozzer
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Fear? 🙂

          He's playing most games and richi doing what a lot of Brazilians do in the winter. And stop performing

    5. Andy'81
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'd say no, might have to keep Richarlison, Watford mightn't have scored today but just looking at the stats he had four shots within the penalty area, not sure if I can bring myself to sell a player whose getting them opportunities.

  13. Jafooli

    Hennessey & Daniels > Adrian & Jones for -4pts?

    Otherwise Speroni vs Arsenal & Naughty vs Liverpool 😮

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

  14. Pariße
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Can't believe I got pen save pts for the first time in my FPL career and they came from a 4.1m GK.

    Hi Managers,

    Next steps for this team?

    De Gea
    Ota Kabasele* Daniels
    RLC* Sterling Richarlison* Salah Hazard
    Kane DCL

    Subs: Elliot, Ogbona, Crouch, Mbemba

    A) Richarlison RLC to Coutinho Pogba
    B) RLC Kabasele to Pogba Christensen

  16. THFC4LIFE

    Kun to be most transferred in this week? And then play 10 mins?

    1. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Probably. He played that well though and they dominated possession so I think 4 days rest is enough for him to start

    2. BbBb
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Possibly, think I'm gonna switch back to Morata

  17. FlockofSeagulls

    Both managers in that pic look like they just realized they left the family dog in the car with the windows up.

    So dirty from alli

  19. ignis88
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Is it worth shifting Son (regardless of his performance) to Coutinho tonight? Will be priced out by the morning, and that impending blank does not look good

    1. ignis88
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Or do a switch to Pogba next week?

  20. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Alli yellow

  21. Rainer

    Alli YC

  22. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Delle lucky not to be sent off

  23. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Alli could have been sent off there.

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Why does he get lucky every game

  24. Sun Jihai

    I'm exactly level with my cup opponent, with only remaining differential DDG (me) vs Jones. Who wins? Better for Leicester to score I'd guess?

    1. Unfathomable Ruination
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Let me grab my crystal ball... brb ...

    2. Champione
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      50/50. DDG if 6 saves or more I guess

  25. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Another ankle breaker, someone needs to have a word with Alli

  26. Unfathomable Ruination
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Alli has lost the plot this season.

  27. Patch
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    FML Alli and Pogba like two peas in a pod for fouls

  28. FlockofSeagulls
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Alli been getting lessons on the side from Vinny Jones.
