A large portion of Fantasy managers are backing the key Spurs’ men for their Monday night trip to Manchester United.

Harry Kane (£12.5m) comes into the match as the most popular player and captained by just under 500,000+ managers.

Only Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) and Sergio Aguero (£11.2m) were backed by more in Gameweek 3, and the England captain needs two goal involvements to outshine them both.

Kieran Trippier (£6.0m) is the next most fashionable member of the Spurs squad, 24 percent of Fantasy managers hoping for a repeat of recent free-kicks scored against Croatia at the World Cup and Fulham in Gameweek 2.

Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea (£6.0m) remains owned by just over a quarter of managers, despite not yet keeping a clean sheet in 2018/19. Although with Spurs bringing plenty of attacking talent to Old Trafford, this match is unlikely to be the last straw for him.

The Spaniard is one of just two United players with double-figure ownership. The other one is Paul Pogba (£8.1m), currently backed by 18 percent following back-to-back converted penalties.

There will be some interest Christian Eriksen (£9.4m) and Dele Alli (£9.1m) with the Dane still just ahead of his English team-mate’s ownership, inspite of losing some set pieces duties to Trippier. Eriksen sits in 11 percent of squads with Alli in 7.6.

The secondary defenders (in terms of popularity) for each side are Luke Shaw (£5.1m) and Jan Vertonghen (£6.0m). The United man is in 8.7 percent of teams with Vertonghen in 10 percent.

SOMETHING ABOUT JOE AND WILLY BOLY.

    Anyone remember when Valencia used to be a winger?

  3. OverTinker

    Why so many people say 'Don't trust Hazard'? lol

    1. Zladan
      • 8 Years

      This must be your first season of FPL.

      1. OverTinker
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        1. Zladan
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          He has had the most man of the match performances in the league over the last 5 seasons. But those performances never turn into points on Fantasy Football.

          1. OverTinker
            • 7 Years

            Really?? why?

    Bobby F would've done a no-look finish there.
    Lukaku won't be firing United to any titles, he's just not top notch enough.

    1. El-Kloppico

    1. Skalla
      • 9 Years

      If only he could cross like Mendy!

  13. Louis Van Gaalstones

    Lukaku misses so many good chances, it's honestly a wonder his goalscoring stats are so good

    1. DJDave1979
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Salah misses more good chances than any other player by a mile. Good players get into those positions more often than bad ones.

      1. Louis Van Gaalstones
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        It's just the way he misses, he has time and space and always drags it wide, or loses control of it, I feel like Salah's misses are more split second moments

  14. Podge
    • 14 Years

    Kittensoft from Lolkaku there

      Gonna have to narrow it down.

  16. tm245
    • 14 Years

    More horrible play from these World Cup-laden teams.

  17. Limbo
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Clinical stuff.

  18. BON
    • 12 Years

    Davies > Alonso (-4) paid off massively this week then. 7 points and £0.3m gained.

    1. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Hits are good m’kay....

  19. DAZZ
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Thats what 80million gets you these days. None of the 3 liverpool front boys would miss that.

    1. Slip it like Stevie
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      And that great finishing took them into 4th place

  20. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Pogba playing as deep as Jones and Smalling.

    1. DJDave1979
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Pogba is a very expensive version of Milo

    2. The Mighty Hippo
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Dembele should stifle him in this game.

  21. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Valencia close....

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      Are you watching on +1? 😉

      1. Jafooli

  22. La Vida Latte

    Mane or Hazard? And why?

    1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Mane because hazard is a let down

    2. slasken
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Hazard. Fixtures

    3. stuarto
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Both for now. Mane will match Salah with bonus points added in and Hazard has been rested and has good fixtures and is involved in most goals for Chelsea. I’m on WC and dropped Salah to get 5 top defenders in and ended up with Mane/Hazard/ Fraser/Walcott/(4.5)

  23. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    United getting the ball forward quicker than I've seen for a long time. Better.

  24. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I don't see Spurs winning this

  25. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Shaw is playing well again

  26. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Shaw on indirect FKs 😯

    1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
      • 15 Years

      Essential

  27. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Kane yellow

  28. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    This game is nailed on for a Jones 9 pointer.

  29. CloudSky
