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.

    Shaw -> Trippier -4?

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

      Just in time for Trip to get rotated like Davies tonight

    being a bit selfish to retain position but if fellini (0.7%) could score and bust the spurs cleansheet that would do me well
    sorry spud fans 😉

    1. schwing
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Not selfish at all, I'm waiting for a Kane own goal myself lol

      1. RÏÉ BY
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        haha

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

      Noooooooo!!!!

      He's in my anti-football team and I've already had to suffer two Cardiff clean sheets and two defenders scoring. Can't Fred do the deed instead?

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

    Hows Shaw looking?

    1. Robson-Canoe
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Actually decent, along with Smalling their best player on the pitch today imo

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Deserves more than 1 point

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

    To be fair to Spurs, this is a great result for them. They were under the cosh for much of the first half and they don't have a good record at OT. Lucas Moura also seems to have added a lot to their attacking options and they still have Son to come back.

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

      Thanks captain obvious.

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

    united surely nick one here

  6. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Have a back line of:

    Mendy - Robertson - Alsonso - AWB - Peltier

    Have 2.7 itb and the knee is jerking towards Peltier to Trippier for a hit...

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

      Best 6m mid...

    2. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      do it

    3. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      You probably could do worse than big up at the back.

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

      Me too. Think I’ll wait til weekend though. If Lacazette plays and scores, may get him in and Trippier in for Peltier too

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

    Wreck that clean United damn it.

  8. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Auba needs a lot more patience that 3 Gws
    He is basically the reason I am getting killed in my mini league as others have those funds dispersed nicely.

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      easy upgrade to Kane if he can't get on anything vs Cardiff

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah he has been so good for years now I can't see that changing once Auba gets one I do t think he will stop
        One I am prepared to more patience that usual with.

    2. GoonerSteve
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Same boat, although I’ve done ok anyway. Hoping by the time he starts scoring he might be a nice differential!

  9. AF90
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Just checked Moura’s price, thought he was 6.5! Would have been top Rich replacement but can’t afford!

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

      Perfect replacement for BSilva

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

        Not before Newcastle.

      2. AF90
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Decent shout, sold him for Mhki already

    United goal would be good

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      How do you know? It might be a luck deflection

      1. lifes a pitch
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Own goal by kane even better.

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

    A third Spurs goal and United will be in the relegation zone.
