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.

    Does anybody else have problems opening the fplstatistics site? If somebody can check, who are about to rise tonight?

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

      very slow

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

      It’s super slow

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

      i do. Is it down right now?

  3. Chi not God

    What's the average now, anybody?

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

    Lol here come the Moura bandwagoners

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

      helps when you have him from the start... :mrgreen:

      You back now Camzy? Blackburn fan right?

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Yep. I'm back this season for real.

    2. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      i can't bring Moura again.

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

    Should I dumb Jota for Walcott before tonight's possible price rise OR do Jota->Fraser? Fraser's underlying stats look great but does he really have as much fantasy potential as on paper?

    Of course one option would be to just give Jota another chance since I've already lost TV on his price fall.

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

      Keep or Walcott.
      Probably keep

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

      I actually thought a Jota looked good against City

  6. Thinkering like a Boss
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Richarlison > Moura obvious transfer right?

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

      Is to mr

    2. MTPockets
        7 years, 4 months ago

        apparently

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

        If you have jerky knees.

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

        Away to watford, then home to Liverpool, then son is back
        Hardly obvious

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

        Knee jerk

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

        i think he could out score walcott. trouble is will son come back into the team?

    3. H149
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I usually over-think every decision and get as many opinions from ffscout as possible before I go through with it, but I abruptly went with a hunch and went with:
      Aubameyang + Wilshere -> Hazard + Jiminez
      good or nah?

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

        Seems good to me.

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

      A) Mitrovic Stephens
      B) Kamara Walcott

      A means 433 most likely, B means 442

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

        B
        Good value in defence and Mitro won’t haul every week

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

      Used my FT to swap out Richarlison. Need hits if I have Tomkins and Cairney?

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        who do you have on your bench?

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

          Cairney usually first sub. Peltier + Doherty

      2. FootballPhenomenon
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I have Tomkins as well but I'll hold off on the transfer until we get some details on the injury.

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

          Yeah hope it's only minor. Started well don't want to be taking -4/-8s now!

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

        Hold

    6. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Want Pedro price up tonight but no Hazard increase please. Then upgrade tomorrow.

    7. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Moura to Mkhi for free on Friday looked like a no brainer ... 🙁

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

        So nearly did that. For some reason I immediately regretted signing him for gw1. Might keep now

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

        Tough, but Mkhi can outscore Moura with fixtures and Son returning

        1. Lord Flashheart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Indeed

    8. F4L
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Aside from an injury, what would it take for you to drop Aguero?

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Tbh if Kane becomes essential then I am more likely to ditch Salah

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          maybe. Personally i'll most likely never ditch Salah, but I can see the temptation

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

        A benching

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          im expecting at least 1 once CL starts after Newcastle at home.

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

        Jamie Jackson saying he's nailed.

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

        Signs of slowing down or being rotated while Spurs and Kane hit a good streak.

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

          This, a benching this weekend would start the thinking.

      5. MTPockets
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Repeat blanks, or an asteroid strike.

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

          Probably 3/4 consecutive blanks especially if against easy opponents

        • Rotation's Alter Ego
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          String of benchings or poor performances coupled with someone becoming "essential" - thinking Auba or Haz there.

          Must admit I'm a little twitchy on him atm, but would need a very good excuse to ship him.

          After all, he's Aguero.

        • F4L
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          cheers all 🙂

        3. davidmcnamara
          • 9 Years

          nope

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

          Same as last night. NO!

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

            You obviously want too though so it’s up to you....

      8. Mesh
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Richarlison to?

        A. Walcott
        B. Pedro?

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

          A

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

          A. Form, fixtures, nailed.
          Price COULD be going up tonight FYI.

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

            Thanks

      9. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Bilva > Moura? (-4)

        Or wait a week

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

          Not worth the hit

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

          lol

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

          I’m gonna do it but not til nearer the deadline

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

            If you do do it, better to do it before his inevitable price rise

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

          Not unless Pep slaps Bilva during a press conference, while screaming he’s off the team

        5. *Reformed-Character*
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Wait a week for him to play Liverpool?

      10. davidmcnamara
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Bilva -> Moura worth the -4?

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

          No

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

          Nah

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

          No

      11. Under my Cucurella
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Usually don't like to WC so early and my team isn't in the worst state... but I'm tempted by the improvements that can be made with a WC now

        (Current team)
        Fab/Foster/
        Mendy/Alonso/*VVD*/*Shaw*/WB
        Salah/*Mane*/*Guendouzi*/Hughes/*Rich*
        Kun/Zaha/*Arnie*

        (WC team)
        Fab/Foster
        Mendy/Alonso/*Robertson*/*Cook*/WB
        Salah/*Hazard*/*Moura*/Hughes/*Elneny*
        Kun/Zaha/*Wilson*

        either that or move Rich to Fraser and free up funds to do Mane to Hazard next GW pending performance?
        or just shift Rich to someone like Walcott or Pedro?

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

          Definitely save tiur WC . Rich ro Frasser enough

      12. ididnt
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Glad I kept Moura in

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

          This surprises me

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

          Kept him too! Relieved. Will def keep for Watford now

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

          How come mate?

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

        So there's no way Hazard rises tonight is there?

      14. Hart-ake
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Spurs fixtures mixed to say the least. Moura is still a decent option, but you can get Mhki, Pedro or Walcott for the same or less money- who are all in form and have good fixtures.

      15. QuintonFortune25
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Richarlison and Bailly to Hazard and Pereira (2FT)?

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

          Yep

          1. QuintonFortune25
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Thanks for help

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

          That's really not a bad move.

        5. Predator
          • 15 Years

          Pereira has poor fixtures

        6. stamboy
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Absolutely

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

        Rica and Robertson to tripper and Moura. Long terms moves? -4

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

          Rich to Moura obly Robbo ti Tripp is too sideways

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

            Daft to lose Robbo

      17. The Tinkerman

        FPLstats not working for anyone else?

        1. MTPockets
            7 years, 4 months ago

            just slow

        2. stat
            7 years, 4 months ago

            So who thinks that Utd will keep a clean sheet against Burnley?

            1. AC Me Rollin
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              0-0

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

              Even if you did, how the hell would you choose a defender from that group? Surely Shaw can't keep his place, the centre backs are getting rotated (apparently), and Valencia costs as much as Alonso

                If you watched the game, you'd know shaw will keep his place

            So I've been Moura's biggest advocate during preseason. Have had him for the last 3 gameweeks and very happy with the returns obviously. Not sure you should bring him in now tho if you don't already have him, especially for a FT.

                Well done. He didn't even cross my mind.

                  he had great preseason
                  was nailed in advanced position
                  and discount price comparing to other Spurs attackers

                  but right now I'd be careful with Son coming back and CL starting

                      I'm not considering him tbh. Didn't follow PL issues over the summer and that ship has sailed for me for now.

                  An owner talking sense. Good advice imo

                Just waiting now until prices force my hand , but really want to see Lucas in my team now.

                Richarlson likely to have dropped to 6.5 again by return? Or price freeze, never really understand the price freeze bizarreness!

                  Yeah me neither! I was hoping for a few drops as i never had the chance to get him in. Be good to get him on back at original price!
