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.

    Maybe a bit early but captains next GW?

    1. The Head-Ake
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Kaku or Salah, idek

    2. Ha.
      • 10 Years

      Haz

    3. TorresMagic™

      Lukaku maybe.

    4. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years

      Sterling

    5. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Salah. Bit worried about rotation though

    6. Podge
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Salah for me

    7. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Salah vs Swansea surely?

    8. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Hazard

    9. Carpe Diem
      • 9 Years

      Coutinho.

    11. Cok3y5murf

      Morata

    12. XabiAlonso

      Kane

    13. Delph & Safety
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Would definitely be Salah if we weren’t worried about rotation. Tough one though especially if you don’t have Kane.

      1. MarvelouSuccess
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        If you don't captain salah and he scores big then have fun sounding down the ranks.

        1. XabiAlonso
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Only if your captain does much worse

    14. Weasel51
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Tough to choose a Liverpool player or Hazard due to rotation.

    DCL to Depoitre or it's a waste of a ft ??

    Thoughts! !

    1. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Waste of a ft

      1. Don Rogers FC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        How about Austin to depoitre? For free.

    2. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Mounie not starting soon?

      1. mdm
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        No

      2. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Don't think so , depoitre is better and on form

  6. mrwinner
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Laca > Morata? Have Haz/ Azpi.

  7. AdamJ91
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Richarlison & Kiko > Kenny & Pogba (-4?)

    Leaves me enough to upgrade Sane/Mee in the future aswell.

  8. TOBY1
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on Jesus playing next week? - Just seems very likely...

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

      Yeah should be Jesus starting and Aguero on the bench

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

      Expected but never know with Pep.

    3. MarvelouSuccess
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      It's possible. Wouldn't risk an ft though personally.

    4. GinjaWhinja
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Don’t try and second guess Pep. Just have a bench to deal with it if he doesn’t turn up for a cameo. I would still own as much city as possible given how easy it is for them at this time.

    5. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      They are playing on Wednesday. I reckon Sergio starts again

      1. Kun Tozser
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thinking this also

      2. TOBY1
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        It's possible. I already have Jesus in my team so think I will keep for now. Planning to do him to Fimino and get Silva or sane in

  9. YouReds
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    A) Niasse, Mbemba > Quaner, Ogbonna 2FT
    B) Monreal, Rich > Ogbonna, Pogba 2FT

    Team as it stands: (2FT, 0.3itb)

    DDG (Elliot)
    Otimendi Christensen Jones Monreal (Mbemba)
    Salah Hazard Sterling Rich (RLC)
    Kane Firmino

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Haz to cout. Look at Liverpool fixtures.

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Look at Chelsea fixtures

        1. MarvelouSuccess
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Hazard hasn't turned up in a few games. Coutinho is on fire right now. Liverpool attack are fpl gold unlike Chelsea attack.

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

        I was planning to keep for 2 more weeks then change to Eriksen for the DGW, but I’ll take a look now! Thanks

  10. Emiliano Sala
    • 9 Years

    Lol at my whole FPL season

    1. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ok but only because you said

    2. FootballFanatic365
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      ROFL at mine

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      why?

  11. King Kohli
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Which DGW players are you looking to have for GW 22?

    I'm thinking of Kane, Son, Vertonghen and Masuaku

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

      Kane and Masuaku in my team already. Will bring in Lloris and one of Lanzini/Arnautovic.

      1. HD7
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Kane Eriksen Ogbona

      2. King Kohli
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        You reckon Arnie is a better pick than any of the Spurs mids?
        Out of all DGW mids, I see Son having the highest ceiling

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

          Yeah I think I agree with you. But I won't want Son long-term, and Lanzini/Arnie are an easy transfer for me (will sell Lingard), but will either require a hit or Hazard out to get Son.

          1. King Kohli
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            I'll be losing Hazard so can afford any mid really. Think Son has that explosiveness which others lack

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

      just 3 personally. 1 tucked away on the bench for the no GW (already have Ogbonna) as too risky having 2 on there at this time of the year IMO. then will bring in Ali/ Kane

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Masauku, Arnie, Eriksen, Kane

    4. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Doubt Son will play both.

  12. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Tarkowski only avaibale Jan 1 or earlier?

    if jan 1, need to drop asap right?

  13. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on Firmino starting vs Swansea?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Anyone's guess.

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        True

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

      Up in the air, don't captain.

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I don’t have the sod 🙂

        Austin needs to be replaced

    3. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Likely to start but will only play 60/70; mins.

    4. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      im quite sure he will start i would expect one of coutinho and salah to be rested both looked quite exhausted at the end of the game.

  14. Colonel Shoe 肝池

  15. beric

    Austin nd rich to crouch and Silva?

    1. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years

      Let the dust settle

  16. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    You can see why Burnley keep clean sheets. Even though give up shots at goal, they are crap shots - you're under pressure or you're shooting into a crowd of players who can block it.

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Got Pope and Mee double up. Time to get rid of Mee? Fixtures getting tough.

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years

        I would

        1. Miguel Sanchez

          Thinking of bringing in Robertson...

  17. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    kane to kun transfers still positive............assuming no hits

  18. HD7
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Which pair makes more points in the festive period?

    A) Coutinho Kabasele
    B) Richarlison Christensen

    *Have Salah and Hazard

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A. Look at Liverpool fixtures.

      1. HD7
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I see them... but Cout can be rotated and I have a little more faith in Richa than the Watford defence... also Christensen has nice fixtures and nailed... more leaning towards B ... but its a big dillema 🙂

    First time watching Burnley this season. Their defense really looks great. Cant see spurs going too nuts

  22. QuintonFortune25
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Got 2FT:

    A) Hazard and Gross to Sterling and Silva

    B) Alonso and Gross to Ogbonna and Silva

    Got Alonso, Hazard and Morata so want to drop one of them to free up City funds.

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years

      Crazy to lose Hazard before his next 3

  23. Kun Tozser

    Sane > Sterling or a massive waste of a Ft?

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Waste imo

    2. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years

      Not this week. Raheem could get a rest.

    3. Klip Klopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      not a massive waste, i went coutinho to salah in like week 4 and it paid off

    4. Magic Bean
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I think Sterling has proved he's the city mid to have this season. Massive waste? I don't think so

  24. Old Wulfrunian

    The most annoying team of the season easily is Southampton.Big disappointment.

  28. Ange Ball
    • 11 Years

    I should of listen to my gut put in Sterling instead of Sane. I would be ranked 1st this GW in Barclays fantasy league. 84pts
