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.

    Is Moura the best rica replacement now?

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

      No

    2. EgyptianKing
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      If I had funds, I would probably take a punt on him

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

      Son and Lamela down his neck. Won’t be back on the bench anytime soon, but it’s always a worry.

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

        Lamela injured?

  2. balint84
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    A) Agüero+Eriksen
    or
    B) Kane+D.Silva

    ?

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

      a with mane

  3. Infamy, Infamy
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Summer signings are way over-rated - COYS !!

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

      To borrow a Wenger-ism, Moura is like a new signing.

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Yer . Anyone who sold him prior to this game should pack the game in. Errrr

  4. King Kohli
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Moura worth a punt for Richarlison?

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

      Son will be back in September, I think he will suffer from rotation soon

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

        son should get a rest
        and if he comes back a winner they get to keep him for as long as they like

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

          Why a rest? He's had a full pre season with Spurs and started 3 games for South Korea, as many games as Tottenham have played this season

    2. EgyptianKing
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      At least for short-term (next 3 to 4 GWs), he seems great pick

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

    when will mourinho being fired as coach of manchester united be announced? Tmrw or by friday?

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

    Will Kane drop in baps ?

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

      no

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

        he’ll rise

  7. dan_247
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Shaw has to go now right?

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

      Not sure. People are saying he was the best on the pitch, but that matters little if he doesn't get cleanies and he's 5.0. The idea was to be a cheap way into a Mou defence that will get 16 CSs in a season. That's not happening.

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

      he may be really good playing under Zidane.

      1. dan_247
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Not sure I want Man y cover at the bank currently and have enough to upgrade to Bellerin. Arsenals fixtures look far morw favourable for the next 5 game weeks

  8. Don Kloppeone
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    This is a juggernaut of a bandwagon this Moura thing. Son isn’t going to come back and just be told to step aside because Moura scores against a side kinda imploding.

    Of course I’m slightly bitter about doing an exact cash itb his transfer earlier today that didn’t include Moura

    Breathe people!

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 4 months ago

        It's just the latest thing.

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Yep but I get the feeling ppl will be acting on this one tonight including taking further hits to reverse Rich > Wally transfers

          1. MTPockets
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Moura's 7m so wouldn't have been afforable for most anyway.

        2. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          People jumping on Moura is just an example of bad fpl management. He had a good pre season and there def was a case to buy him at the start since he was on good form, Son was out for 4 weeks and Lamela was injured. He then looked absolutely horrible in the first 2 gameweeks, Lamela is back and Son is back in 2 weeks time. I honestly can't see any reason why anyone would buy him unless you are just chasing points

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Completely agree

            1. JÆKS ⭐
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Nice grav btw haha

      • FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        No players from this game. How much farther rank drop likely from an already abysmal 600k with 43 pts?

      • Davido989
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        With relegation a realistic possibility, I can see Manchester United making a move for Sam Allardyce.

        1. Chenku╰☆╮
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Pulia

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

          Give it Giggsy till the end of the season

        3. Regin
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          i reckon arsene wenger will come now to ManU and steal the 4th position on the last matchday.

        4. Mo Mané No Problems
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Would be a smooth transition. They already play his style.

        5. Adro3
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Carrick to the end of the season.

        6. RÏɠBY
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          haha 😆

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

          Would take sam at this point without thinking

      • ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Gary Neville actually said at HT "it's the quickest I've seen United play without the ball in over 6 years in terms of their intensity"

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

          He is right

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

          Their first half was quite good tbf

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

            Agree. They imploded second half, Center backs awful.

            United didn’t play bad on the front foot though.

            Shaw and Pogba still viable fantasy assets ... but not for me.

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

          He was making sense tbf

      • DV8R
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Richarlison to..

        A) Wally (FT)
        B) Moura (-4, Cairney to 4.5 fodder)

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

          A

        2. Adro3
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          A

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

        Salah > Moura (-4)?

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

          Yes easy decision

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

          of course. why not?

        3. Calderano FC
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Do it

      • Zilla
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Lads

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

          It's

      • Adro3
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        62k. Likely to drop match if I don't have any Spurs/United players?

        1. Adro3
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Much*.

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

          Yes I think so unfortunately

          1. Adro3
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Great decision taking out Moura for Mkhi then!

            1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              I did same pal. We should both just quit

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

              That's very frustrating! You are not alone though. I've seen lots of people on here that made the same transfer

            3. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              May still work out long term

      • skybluecam
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        WC worthy?

        Patricio (Hamer)
        Tarkowski - Mendy - Daniels (AWB - Peltier)
        Hazard - Salah - Maddison - Bilva

        1. Hulk Smash
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Yes if only to get some strikers

      • rokonto
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Is Trippier injured then?

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

          No, why would you think that?

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

            he had to go off after fellaini stamped on his foot. wouldnt be suprised if a metatarsal injury

          2. _Greg
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            subbed...think he'll start vs watford...watford will score though...

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

          Did not look serious but still a chance of rotation going forward.

      • Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 15 Years

        Mourinho interview incoming...

      • Sandy Ravage
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Need Spurs players:
        A - Bilva (NEW) > Moura (wat)
        B - save 2 FT to get Kane for GW 5

        1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          why do you need spurs players all of a sudden?

          1. Sandy Ravage
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Why wouldn't you want Spurs players? 3 wins from 3 games, 8 goals scored and playing well

        2. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Did you even watch Spurs in their first 2 games? Won’t play United every week

        Aguero - King - Jimenez

        A) Trippier or Bavies?
        B) Moura or Pedro? Or both and downgrade Trippier?

        1. Carlton P
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Very similar to mine. I’m going TAA over trippier

      • Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Mouinho clapping to the fans kinda looked like an emotional farewell? Or was it more simply him applauding their support?

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

          probably applauding the few that didn't leave the stadium...

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

        Will I rise or fall with Trippier only in my team?

      • sfsfsfe
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Worst moment of the season so far?
        Mine was when i was taking out my last team 1 day before the season kick of and with 0.5 itb just waiting to be used i thought "Hey, i never did go for DeGea last season and with Mourinho at the wheels united are bound to keep cleans should keep a few cleans. Who needs Alisson?"

        To the guy who said he was going to enjoy this game because he had no players from this game: did you?

      • Dacra
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Ffis have me predicted 400k to 600k from not having any players in that game.

        Poor to poorer.

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

          Prob the same for me but went from 600k to 400k before tonight so can't really complain about that.

      • CYN
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        best 4.5 GK for the foreseeable future?

        maybe Hennessey but is he nailed?

      • Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Look to be final.

        3 - Lucas Moura (41)
        2 - Trippier, Kane (35)

      • stamboy
