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.

    Who is more important to have between coutinho and firmino?

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

      Couts

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

      Firmino because of lack of strikers.

  8. DantheManinaPan

    At the start of the season, from GW3 I vowed to cap Kane every single week, because he is fixture proof and you never know when he might score.

    Every season, I hear people commenting on here and elsewhere that they'd have done better if they'd just capped Kane every week. It's working so far

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

      Only 3 of the 6 double figure but Ced 9 times

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

    I'd be more annoyed with not capping Kane if I didn't have a good week overall I guess.

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

      The obvious cap was any city attacker. Hindsight can say otherwise (excluding Kun) but they were still the safest bet.

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

        Yep part of me expected a Kane haul though after so many sales. Always seems to haul when people doubt him most. Just didn't cap him

    Foster, Elliot

    Is Klavan (Liverpool) nailed on for a few more games? Liverpool do have some nice fixtures.

    95-4 + Jones.

    Such a shame I sold Kane.

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

      Nice one. Sure if you had Kane you couldn't afford the rest.

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

        Quite

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

        Really? My lowest scoring player (bar a def) was Hazard, imagine if he was Cout.

        Oh and I benched Morata, 10M+ on the bench doing eff all and maybe a to be scored.

    2. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      What made you keep Choupo?

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

        His stats have always been good and Hughes needs him firing. He was close to the chop but I decided to stick with Morata on the bench instead...

        1. Old Wulfrunian
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Brave decision.

    Anyone else find the stick Jay has had on here this evening it a bit far?

    The guy's obviously a proven player and took the time to come on the Scoutcast for us and had the balls to do something a bit different as he'd rather win fpl than be 50th.

    The one week he appears on it he gets a big decision wrong but we've all been there. A wee bit of stick is fine but some comments seemed a bit much calling him smug and stuff

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years

      It’s just banter

      It's one gameweek ffs. we'll all captain Kane next GW and he'll get 1pt. And so it continues.

        Being honest was tempted myself, but rotation put me off the move. Aguero unlikely to start next match imo.

      67 - Harry Kane has now scored 50 @PremierLeague away goals in just 67 games; at least 18 games quicker than any other player in the history of the competition (Sergio Aguero - 85 away games). Outrageous.

    3. nevins84

      Chances of Jones and Lukaku scoring 15pts between them????

      Gets me to 100...

      1. Duke Silver ☑
        • 11 Years

        A goal for Lukaku and clean sheet for Jones would probably get you there so good chance.
