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.

      Not at all

      Salah, Coutinho, Hazard or Morata

      Was gonna say this.

    2. Pieterke30

      Indeed

  4. El_Shaw

    Changing captaincy from Sterling to (K)DB in the last hour is so annoying haha

      So you'll stop just short of it?

    Slow and steady wins the race.

    1. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      To even consider selling him was madness, there were so many warnings

      I thought it was so absurd, it brought me out from the underground, check my comment history

      1. Pieterke30
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        It wasnt

        Selling him meant owning all three of Sterling Coutinho and Salah who scored very well in the last three GWs

        Some even got Firmino who got more pts than Kane in the last 3 - I think, havent checked; similar return, at least

    2. Garlana

      What's his score?

        Kane? 17

  9. jdp219

    Done at 73, and should have 9 baps coming. Should put me ahead of opponents in ML and H2H league, so I'll take it.

  10. UpAndAway

    Hazard owners, are you still keeping him? I’m becoming increasingly frustrated. Can’t rely on Morata playing for him to score points. Bit like that Dembele rule with Kane a while back.

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I didn't expect much from him away to Everton. Did you?

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

      Looking to Hazard--> Coutinho and Morata in

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

    Who do you switch Austin to?

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Kane.

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

      I'm thinking of Depoitre.

  12. J T
    • 8 Years

    Really need Rashford to stay benched and I’ll be on 95 all out. 😀 13 points 1st Sub..

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

      Don't fancy your chances with that mate

      1. J T
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I know it’s not looking good, my only hope is that Mihki is back in the squad for the first time in a while and Rashford played 90mins 3 days ago.. fingers crossed

    When is the wildcard available? GW 21?

    Not sure if it's been posted elsewhere but this guy is 7th in the world and not made a single transfer!

    Anyone on for a ton this GW?

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

    I wonder if the guy (Jay) on The Scoutcast still feels that selling Kane is the way to go

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

      He's only human. He's getting a lot of stick on here but I bet he will be the one laughing at the end

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

        I'm not criticising him. He has a plan and it seemed to be working until today. I wonder if he will stick with it

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

          Nah I wasn't suggesting you were spike. Your not that type of poster. Was just saying the stick he gets on here is OTT

  17. Desperately Seeking Dusan
    • 14 Years

    So consensus still to get rid of Kane right? Oh...

  18. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Hopefully i can break the 100 ceiling with Smalling to go.

  19. IRBOX ⚽

    Hate to say I told you so, but can you please refer to my hot topic on Kane captaincy. BOOM!

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

      Good going. I just didn't switch

  20. THFC4LIFE

    Robertson nailed? Need a Kabasele replacement

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

      Very good replacement imo

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

        Also going for him as Kabasele replacement

        1. THFC4LIFE

  22. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Smalling goal to get 100 + points.........

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

    Imagine Morata didn't get booked, them Kane sales...

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

    I need 4 points from Jones to hit 100gw score 🙂 go Phil Jones!!!!

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Also just Jones left, 6 points need for ton if I can do basic maths.

  25. Dreaming of glory

    A) Gross > coutinho
    Or

  26. Desperately Seeking Dusan
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I just wish I knew when to captain Kane. Almost every time I do he blanks...

    I’ll give everybody the heads up next time I captain him.

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I was feeling reasonably confident against a makeshift Burnley defence

  27. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    67 with Jones left. I am disappointed. The rest of my team let me down.

  28. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Overall Number 1 Kane(C) paid off

  29. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Am *so* raging with myself at forgetting to sub out Pope for Elliott. So gutted. It might well Cost me my H2H. The guy Wikdcarded. Lot of pounds at stake. Raging!!

    1. KJT123
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      get over it mate. you clearly meant to play Pope.
