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.

    Hi guys
    Would you do Richarlison & King to Maddison & Mitrovic? Y/N?

  13. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    United should sack Jose and hire Conte. That will destroy Jose.

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

      That would be a Conte move by Woodward.

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

      And Wenger as Conte's assistant.

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

        With Ranieiri as director of Football and Benitez as head coach. It'll be a WWF faction/conspiracy theory even Vince McMahon will be proud of.

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

          *Benitez as defensive coach

  14. Jack Sparrow
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Man U are the gift that keep giving and its not even christmas.

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

    If Jose goes Ed Woodward has to fall on his sword also.

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

      Woodward just waiting to back a competent manager.

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Never gonna happen

    3. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Why? He gave Jose plenty of cash for centre backs and he spunked it on Lindelof and Bailly

      1. All de Gea no iDier
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Exactly! Jose bought two centre backs. And they have two more internationals. Why should they need any more?

        Mou can'y build a team - only destroy them.

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

        They were Woodward signings not Jose's

        1. Dr Van Nostrand
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Ridiculous they were both Mourinho's he was chuffed with them at first

    4. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Erm He's given Mourinho over £300m to waste

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

    If United keep up this pressure for another half an hour they might get a shot off

  17. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    It's still August !

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years

  19. COLLIN QUANER

  20. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    Does this debacle mean that Lindelof will be starting next game

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

      Lol no not after the last two minutes!

  21. AC Me Rollin

  22. tm245

  23. Bolivian Seaman
    • 15 Years

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