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.

    From bbc

    It is five years since Tottenham lost a Premier League away game they were leading at half-time.

    That was a 2-1 defeat by Manchester City in November 2012.

    Interesting stat

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

      Mee double incoming.

  2. Steevo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Best Austin replacement up to 7.5? Depoitre is tempting with HUD fixtures...

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Do you have Calvert?

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

      thinking about firmino for a hit with downgrade elsewhere

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

      Depoitre looking good with form and fixtures

    4. Steevo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yep already have DCL & Firmino. Depoitre leaves me with cash to splash on a couple of Spurs assets for the DGW.

    Did Austin his injurey looked serious?

    1. La Roja

      Yep, hammy and will be out for a while.

    2. TorresMagic™

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

    Don't need the Burnley double up any more with fixtures turning. Which 4.6 defender to replace Mee with, was thinking Robertson.

    1. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      looks good if you don't want 3 x liv attack

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

      Robertson looked decent yesterday

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Robertson Is tempting. Else a WHU defender will still be good for the DGW

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

        Got Ogbonna - think i will go Robertson

    4. diesel001
      • 9 Years

      Dunk / Zanka - beautiful rotation pair

      1. We Will Klopp you

        Good call, Brighton look solid and Hudds seem to have tightened up too

  7. F4L

    At least I gained .1 sell on value from Austin. #worthit

      Yes, but with Jones subbed at 59 mins!

    If you have to choose any 1 mid for the DGW regardless of price, who will you have?

    1. Eriksen:
    Seems to be most nailed on but does not have much goal threat and plays kinda deep.

    2. Alli
    Honestly, I would not get him as he is a red card waiting to happen. Has not had the best of seasons, but he has the potential. Could turn out to be a nice differential.

    3. Son:
    I have doubts if he will start both games, but he is explosive and has the highest ceiling of all the dgw mids imo. He is also owned by just 4%, so another lovely differential.

    4. Arnautovic:
    Arnie has been in great form off late and should play both games. A very interesting option.

    5. Lanzini
    Carries more of a set-piece threat and has been doing OK recently. Will only consider him over the others incase of cash crunch.

    These are just my thoughts and it would be interesting to have your thoughts on this.

    1. Delhidynamo
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Son

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

      Will have Arnie and one of Alli/Eriksen. Leaning towards Alli as more explosive

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A or C

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        1 or 3 rather

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

      1 or 5

    5. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Arnie+Erik

    6. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Greedy Son

    7. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years

      Check out Eriksen’s record vs Swans

    8. the axolotl
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      son for me. i'm going to play the free hit chip i think and get son, arnie and lanzini

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

      This Eriksen argument is pretty bad, same could be said for De Bruyne. Eriksen avregaes 7.5 ppg in the last 4 gameweeks.

    10. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Eriksen then Lanzini of those

  10. EL tridente

    Do we know how serious Charlie Austin injury is?

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

      Looks a sell.

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

        More than 3 weeks?

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years

          Wait for news.

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

            Happy to hold, rotates great with DCL and don’t need him for a bit

    2. Spike ⚽️
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years

      He will be banned for 3 weeks any way

  11. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years

    Dyche should make an advert for sore throat candies.

    1. La Roja

      😀

  12. Pariße
    • 10 Years

    What's the ideal realistic attack if budget IS a factor?

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

      Kane Lukaku Aguero

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

      Crouch quaner and ayew

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Kane Morata DCL

      Sterling Pogba Salah Cout

      cheap defence

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

        As a Otamendi, Alonso and Christensen owner I can't agree with the last part 🙂
        Agreed with the first, there's just too many good midfield options atm, thanks.

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

      Sterling - Salah - Gross - RLC - Silva
      Firmino - Morata - DCL

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

      Kane - Firmino - DLC

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

        Salah - Sterling - Eriksen/Son (DGW) - Gross - magic Bean

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

          Pretty good, looking at something similar on WC (which is what I already kind of have). 🙂

    6. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Firmino DCL Quaner

  13. Jafooli

    Who has the more serious injury - Daniels or Kiko?

    1. Ode

      Kiko

  14. FootballFanatic365
    • 11 Years

    austin + Bony > Depotr + Okaz? (-4)

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

      Bony to DCL and rotate with Austin when he’s back

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

      Don't.. buy firmino dcl or Rooney instead of any of these

      Sterling

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling a bit like Salah

  16. Ha.
    • 10 Years

    A. Mariappa > Christensen

    B. Richarlison > Pogba

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.

      A

      1. Ha.

    Does it seem that Austin is out for a long time?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes time to replace already ffs

    2. BAMBAA
      • 8 Years

      Sry, just saw there was same question already on this page..

    3. La Roja

      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah

  18. GREEN IS GOOD
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Naughton to Kenny, and Diouf to DCL?

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

      Nice. Going to get Kenny for GW21 I think

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.

      Yes.

    3. Arctic monkeys

    4. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Keeping?

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

      Until 22 for sure, great diff at the moment

      Got to be happy with 32 points

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yes indeed, a bit concerned when Morata and Lukaku will come back in form tho

    6. Numb
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Why wouldn't we? If we had him, which we don't.

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

    Any other Vardy owners about?

    First question, why do we still have him and secondly, haul vs Utd?

    1. Guru Mediation
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'm with you Jaf. Had other priorities, but he's close to being gone. Would love a haul, especially as no United defence, would take just 1 goal though

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

        Agreed, so many other issues to sort. I'd take an assist 😛

    Spurs going to regret these misses.

  25. Weeb Kakashi
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    What are Kun owners doing?

    I have Coutinho Firmino who might not play
    And a non playing 4.5 striker + Tarkowski

    So leaning towards holding.

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

      swapping for morata

      1. Weeb Kakashi
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        For a -4 would you do it?

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

      Holding for sure

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

      Other issues to deal with.

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

        Like Hazard, Richarlison and Mariappa.

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

          Think you keep Hazard for at least the next 3, Richarlison deserves the Swansea game

    4. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking of selling for morata

    5. Yozzer
      • 8 Years

      Keep him. He's just got 16 points.

    Bench: Hennessey, RLC, Duffy, Niasse*

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.

      Do something about Niasse

      1. GE

        Niasse -> Quaner?

  28. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    May be a rash question, but what to do with Hazard -- wait to see how he does when Morata's back?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Probably keeping for next 2

    2. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Taking up a good amount of cash for not a lot of returns.

  29. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years

    worth the extra .1 of Schindler over zanka ? seems to have better bonus potential
