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 it a chance that Walcott price rises tonight?

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

      Maybe not, many of his buyers are replacing with Moura now

    2. Ambrosiana Inter

      Don’t think so

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

        TM said it was 33 last night, and I'm 37 all out. Trippier, Kane, Moura and autosubs will raise it to at least 40, if not higher.

    2. _nod

      Whats the score to stay in LMS?

      Wait next GW 😉

    4. All about the Mané

    It’s come to this.

    1. Robbo + Kamara (have Mitro)

    Hazard rising tonight?

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

      Most prob

  11. Pigsinblankets
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    De gea + Richarlison -> Hennessey Moura/Mkhi (-4)

    Richarlison + Bilva -> Mkhi + Moura (-4)

    Richarlison to Walcott

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

      A

  12. hannibalos
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I think that was that for Mourinho. Don't believe he will stay in his position. They don't even have one trustworthy center back.

    1. Park the bus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      yep it's the centre backs fault he sucks the life out of every team he manages and has about as much innovation as a wet fart

    2. HNI
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      He bought 2 of those 5. No one had stopped him getting VVD or similar calibre defender provided he offloaded some due to strain on wages

    3. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Despite having bought 2 not yet peaked CB's for some €70 million in last two seasons.

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

    Walcott probably rising tonight...

    Time to get Rich and bring Walcott in... right?

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

      Get Rich out*

    2. TerryVenables
      • 9 Years

      Should have been done Saturday

    3. LosBlancos

      seems like it

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

        Done!

  14. Ambrosiana Inter
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I have josh Murphy dropping in price tonight and I have exact money to do aubemayang to Kane..I ll be locked out if he goes down...
    I already took -8 rich to Walcott, Bertrand Alonso, and morata to Zaha...
    Is preserving team value of 0,01 worth an extra -4?
    So then next week if auba Blanca again I can put kane in?

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      -12?

      1. Ambrosiana Inter

          Mmm nooo not yet

    3. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Moura -> Richarlison FT:
      - Utd away a tough fixture, Lamela is back, Son will return in a couple of weeks, Richarlison high ownership with 3 great fixtures
      Since then:
      - United let in 3 against Brighton, Lamela injured in warm-up, Son participating in WW3, Richarlison sent off
      😀 I really enjoy playing this game 😀

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        WW3 :grin

      2. Cok3y5murf

        Definitely a good move on paper. Just unlucky.

    4. andymck

      • 9 Years

      Davies and Rich > Alonso and Fraser worth a hit? Rich won't be playing and I'd rather not be playing guessing games with Davies every week...

      Must resist the urge to knee jerk Bilva > Moura

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

        Honestly seems worth to do it! IN my opinion, obviously

    7. Beautiful Game
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Still the underlying stats of Ings win over Mitrovic.
      Please suggest will it be wise to get Mitro in place of Ings for a -4?

      1. andymck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I wouldn't

        I suggest it will be wise to get Mitro in place of Ings for a -4?

        Fulham some difficult fixtures

        1. Beautiful Game
          • 13 Years

          I'm only having doubt about soton's low conversion rate.

        2. Beautiful Game
          • 13 Years

            • 11 Years

    12. pol
      • 15 Years

      Need to get some chelsea cover:

      A- Eriksen > Hazard
      B- Fraser > Pedro

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

        A for me. Haz have 90 min almost every week. Pedro will share it with willian

    13. James2201
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I am on wildcard, currently have Aguero but have money set aside to bring Kane in. Do you think I should keep Aguero for next week or is now the time to bring Kane in?

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

        Taking Kun out before a home match againts Newcastle does not seem the best move, but after Liverpool match Spurs' fixtures ease a lot and that may be a good final trigger to bring their attacking assets in

        1. James2201
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah that was my thought process. I want to somehow get Trippier in, but I don’t think I can as I’ve got the big 3 of Alonso, Mendy and Robertson

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

            I read some weeks ago in this forum that "no defence is too expensive when they return amazing points" - agree!

            Currently I have Alonso, Robertson and Mendy, and a good (in my opinion) midfield as well, however after Spurs' match against Liverpool I'll also consider Trippier in and a downgrade in my mid, if it justifies the move

            1. James2201
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              What is your team out of curiosity? Here’s mine.. I’ve had to bring Salah in as everyone has him and it was dropping me back every week

              Schmeicel
              Mendy Alonso Robertson
              Salah Hazard Cairney
              Aguero Mitrovic Zaha

              Subs - Hennessey Wan-Bisaka Kante Stephens

              1. James2201
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                Scrap that.. Bennett is my extra player

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

                I like that defence and that front 3! But honestly I prefer a strong midfield - I see much great picks at the 6m to 7m range.

                Exceptionally, next GW I'll not play in 352 and I'll probably do it in 451:
                Patricio
                Alonso; Robertson; Mendy; Bissaka
                Mane; Salah; Walcott; Mkhi; Pedro
                Kun

                Hamer; King; Kamara; Peltier

                1. James2201
                  • 8 Years
                  7 years, 4 months ago

                  Yeah I don’t see a lot of value upfront to be honest as it stands now. But as I’m on my wildcard I’m building a team for coming weeks. How would you get Trippier into my team out of interest?

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

                    Well I would probably drop Zaha or Mitrovic, bring Kamara in, take Bennet out and bring Trippier in.

                    Alonso Robertson Mendy Trippier seems in fact a promising defence 🙂

                    1. James2201
                      • 8 Years
                      7 years, 4 months ago

                      Thanks for the tip, does Kamara play? Or is he just bench fodder?

                      Zaha has easier fixtures but I see Mitrovic scoring more goals

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

                        Well I see Kamar playing time to time, but definitely not nailed. He is a good bench fodder assuming you play most of the time with 1 or 2 forwards (which is my case)

                        1. James2201
                          • 8 Years
                          7 years, 4 months ago

                          Cheers for the advice, I haven’t actually thought of playing 442 but I could do. When palace fixtures get tough bring in either Arnie or Mitrovic.

                          My only issue now is having Kante and Cairney as my other midfield 2 but I don’t see any other options at 5.0 but I can’t complain I guess

        Yes

      2. HamezMace

        No. DDG has Burnley next.

      3. Limbo
        • 15 Years

        DDG first. Peltier not dropping. Save. (never take a hit for a 2nd/3rd bench player IMO)

    15. stat
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Should I start Dave or should I start Hamer?
        I waved goodbye to Ben but in the end it didn't matter

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

          Starting Hamer was the play, just got very unlucky.

          1. stat
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Yeah, at least DDG didn't punish Hamer-starters

              Need to take out DDG. Have Hamer and 1 FT, and don’t want to spend more than 5m. Who’s my best bet? Thinking Ryan or Hennessey but would appreciate some views.

              B) Perreira + Eriksen
