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.

  29. pjomara
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Yes Eriksen of course you do something as soon as I sell you.
    Then again games v Fulham and Newcastle are much harder than games against Man Utd at Old Trafford.

    1. Dannyb
      • 8 Years

      Same mate, useless twunt.

    So glad I went with DDG over the inconsistent cheapies! He's now the most consistent keeper in the league

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

      Set and forget they said. Season keeper they said.

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

        I mean it is 3 games in.

        Pretty likely de Gea still gets 15+ clean sheets. But pretty annoying now
