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.

    Richarlison to Ramsey/Lingard I reckon. Will wait for price changes to force my hand before making the final decision.

    1. Yes Don
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      i’m going for lingz

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

        Great fixtures and he looks very sharp.

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

    Eriksen has lost his touch

    1. BON
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      He can't even touch his wife.

  3. Ibralicious
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Mourinho's got the tactics spot on. Doesn't get the credit he deserves for his performances against the Top 6, always tactically solid. If only he could deal with the Brightons... :/

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      He normally parks to bus , doesn’t score and rarely wins

      Great tactics

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

        I was wondering who was going to break it to him first...

    2. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      First time round he was at Chelsea he often spoke about how titles are won by being consistent against the smaller clubs.

    3. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Mourinhos record against the top 6 in the last few seasons is awful especially away, don’t think he has won more than a couple in 15 matches

  4. Marvin.
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Not watching the game is it worth tuning in?

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

      Don't bother.

      1. Marvin.
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Thought so.

    2. Patch
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yes lively

      Erikson nearly

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

      Nope

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

      Yeah. It’s pretty lively.

      Mainly because Rose keeps giving the ball away on his own penalty area.

    5. Licky
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Back and forth a lot but not that much quality.

    6. BON
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I'd rather watch Love Island or Big Brother than United play.

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

    De gea save no.1

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Finally

  6. Fantastisk
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Rose is so poor, can't believe he gets picked ahead of Davies (both for spurs and England).

    1. Collie01

      Controversial

      1. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Not from the same country are they?

    2. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Imagine how Gareth Bale feels getting overlooked for Lindgard

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

      Bale for England

    4. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Imagine how Ieuan Evans feels?

  7. COLLIN QUANER
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Eriksen shoots. World class save by De Gea

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Oh dear

    2. Ode
      • 8 Years

      World class 😀

    Anyone just holding Richarlison..?

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Me. Using my transfers elsewhere and playing WB or Schlupp for 2 games.

      1. BON
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Same.

      2. Red Dagger ✪
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I think I am too. Doing Firms to Mitro and Peltier to Alonso.

      3. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I’m worried about Schlupp, in my team at the moment but his game time may be taken away from him, he looked very average yesterday

    2. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I’m holding a beer...

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I am considering it

    4. Lazaretti
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I will hold most likely. Want to have 2FT for int break. I've enough cover from the bench. Imo Everton prob win Huddersfield but it wont be easy game.

    5. T1P
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Really surprised people do this when he is obviously dropping in value? Does team value not matter to you?

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

        Had him from GW1 nothing lost yet. Bit worried of course but I don't think it's so important. In my case I think the value loss will be 0.1 I could have bought Walcott and gain 0.1 but then I dont see Walcott getting many points in next 2 which Richarlison will miss.

    6. Indpush
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Me too

  9. Dirty Harry
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    What does one do with Bavies? Already made a transfer this week and can't fit Alonso in without a -8

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

      Hold, Rose not making much of an impression

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

      Keep him

    3. Beatle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Not worth -8 to get rid

  10. Fred54
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Leaving Shaw's 9 points on the bench, Ings didn't get better.

        Everyone can do funny but not everyone can be funny.

  12. SPorting

    Alli wastes a chance to put Moura in

  13. Feloh
    • 8 Years

    wouldn't take a -8 to fit in Alonso.

    and Jones is solid!!!!

    The lack of sharpness is really overwhelming -- the amount of talent is almost inversely proportional to the level of execution. Their minds know what to do and what they can do, their bodies just aren't getting them there.

      I’m looking at him

      United are a better team with him playing , decent fixtures and he likes a goal . Playing very forward as well

  22. twoplustwo

    Fred is the best

    1. Jack Sparrow
      • 7 Years

      Not hard to be the best in that team.

  23. Fred54

    I am not associated with him. Just making that clear.

  26. OldBenKenobi
    • 8 Years

    Is it me or is Rose just hoofing the ball back to the opposition everytime he gets the ball?

  27. Sandy Ravage
    • 9 Years

    Nice through ball by Alli leads to confusion between Moura & Eriksen
