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.

      Hahaha. If people can come on this site saying they always knew Ederson had assist potentential and it was obvious, I can hope for a DDG goal.

  9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    That's a pen

  10. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Looked like a pen to me.

  11. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years

    Thats a clear pen..

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

      No 50-50.

  12. OldBenKenobi

    Moura is a class player!

  13. Totalfootball
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    What a run by Moura

  14. TyroneGAA
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    This game is very similar to one of Tottenham’s defenders names

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years

      I'm in Aurier of the word play.

    United are so poor under jose, bleak viewing for united fans, lovely stuff as a Livi fan

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      This is surely his last job at a top club.

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

    If a defender gets a red card after 60mins and hasn’t conceded a goal, does he keep his CS?

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

      If the team doesn't concede for the rest of the game then yes

    2. Sjaugen
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Not if they score afterward no

    3. ZLNR
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Not sure. But I assume you're inferring the CS lasts the full 90? As goals conceded after they're carded count for them for sure.

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

      Cheers all

    People expecting a pen to be given against United at OT

    LOL!

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

      Very true

    2. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      This. When was the last one? 1959 or something?

  18. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    That looked like a penalty

    Jones was beaten

  19. jg7u
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Boring question: which one to replace Richarlison:

    A) Mkhitaryan
    B) Walcott

    No other Arsenal or Everton players.

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Mkhi altough he let me down this week.

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

    How’s that not a peno?

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

      Shoulder to shoulder

      1. SPorting
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        With no intention of playing the ball.

        Penalty.

      2. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Knee to waist more likely

  21. SPorting
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Lloris held his bottle there

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

    Fred looks lively.

  23. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Clear pen

    1. It's Fergie Time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      shoulder to shoulder....no pen

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Lol

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Nah, Jones was stronger, Moura went down way too easily

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

    Need a peno, for a peno save chance for DDG

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Lol, I thought that vs BRI and he couldn’t save it when it was straight at him. Mourinho probably spends all his time telling him how much better Cech was than him. The usual Mourinho motivational methods.

  25. Totalfootball
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Thats a Pen

  26. SPorting
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Jones so guilty there. Even had to look at the ref to be sure.

  27. tutankamun
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    VAR!

  28. Podge
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Fair shoulder

  29. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Still not giving pens at OT I see. Wonder if they will edit the VAR to suit too when it comes in

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Lol, so this.

  30. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    To be fair, he got the ball

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      /s

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      The ball of his shoulder joint 😉
