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.

    !Moura is actually OOP right?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Furthest foward anyway

    Woodward only got himself to blame.. need to compete with the likes of liverpool and city in the transfer market and he didn't over the summer.

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

      But we can't even compete with Spurs here who also didn't sign anybody.

      1. seanie3
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Big difference is spurs didn't really need to, utd did. There are no utd players with maybe the exception of DeGea that could walk into the spurs team, however there are at least 4 or 5 spurs players that could walk into the Utd starting 11

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

      Plus he appointed a donkey as manager

    3. Maybe there was no money left after they spent £500m on dross?

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

      Spurs didnt buy anyone

      1. seanie3
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        yes but poch knows they didn't need to, he has great players in his team, where as utd don't.

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

    Never leave Jose 😆 😆 😆

    1. Frank Black
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Mourinho is bored as hell at United. He's already won everything he could won(in general not with United) and he doesn't have real enemies. He's bored and tired and the club certainly didn't help him and the team.

  4. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Captained Lucas on Sky Fantasy :O

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

    United look pretty bad.

  6. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Shaw been Utd's best player today.

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

      Agreed.

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yep.

  7. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    So glad I didn't jump on the Wally train. Lucas is my man , so glad I waited to watch this game.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      You're just jumping on the next train....

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I said I wanted him before he even scored

      2. Jayv807
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Exactly....

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

    Moura has so much gas in the tank. Running machine!

  9. Frank Black
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Lucas is making a strong case to be Richarlison's replacement but remember that Spurs won't play United every week.

  10. aborg
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    ....and to say that I transferred out Lucas Moura for Richarlison this GW!!

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 4 months ago

        whoops

      • AnfieldLad
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Same lol

      • Brehmeren
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I transfered him out for Bilva after gw1.

      • THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I done that last week

      • Totalfootball
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        i transferred both him and jOSH KING

      • _nod
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        And I was pissed I took a hit to get him in! Thanks for cheering me up a bit.

    2. Taegugk Warrior
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Richarlison => Pedro done....
      Wasting time just for thinking about walcot while richarlison price will be drop...

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

      Who will Jose blame?

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Never himself. And that is part of the problem. Pre-Madrid Mourinho would have made changes at HT. Post-Madrid Mourinho is just bitter. Needs to watch videos of his old self from 2003 to get back to how he used to be

      2. seanie3
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        He will make excuses and blame jones and smalling, be interesting to see if directly or indirectly calls them out.

    4. tm245
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Kane didn't even look that great and is still on for 11-12 points.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        dat price tag tho

    5. YouReds
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Rich > Moura for free?

      1. Steve McCroskey
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        100%

    6. Greek Flair
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Gotta feel for the knee-jerkers that put Walcott in so hastily, and now Moura explodes like this in the same price bracket. Playing pretty much CF too

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

        0.5 diff

      2. 420king
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Same price bracket? Then how come I can't afford him?

      3. Four Hit Wonder
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        How do you know what will happen next GW?

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

      Surely United are just making Moura look better than he really is?

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

        Yep, wouldn’t jump on him just yet

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

        Herrera shocking for his first goal, Smalling even worse for his second.

        A bit of both really, he has been good.

    8. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Kan Kane lose baps and fall behind Trippier?

    9. King Carlos
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Lucas Moura to Richarlison went well then...

    10. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Well done Captain Harry.

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

        Yes Sir ! 🙂 Well done.

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

      Well done Harry my son!

      1st goal 9/2 £££. 🙂

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

      Moura or Mkhi?

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

      3. FISSH
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Moura looked great tonight. Spurs got some tough games coming up though

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

      Nice to see spurs have finally started passing the ball to Moura.

    14. waitinginthelonggrass
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Cheapies:

      A) Hennessey Hamer Westwood Walcott

      Or

      B) Ederson Hamer Cairney Kenedy

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

      Kane off now not worth 12.5mil if he is just going to play 89min every game and not even score a hattrick!

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

        He’s always a slow starter 😉

    16. dunas_dog

    21. Licious Lizard
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No United, no spurs, how big a rank drop can we expect around 25k?

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Lol no chance. Waaaayyyyy more

        1. Licious Lizard

              7 years, 4 months ago

              The avergage will be about 2points gained today.

              1. Licious Lizard
                • 12 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                Cheers. Not as bad as I thought actually.

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

        Depends on your current rank...apparantly not many in top 250k own Kane and/or Tripps, Moura.
