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.

    Walcott or Trippier?

      Tripps.

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

        only concern is having 2 4.5s...

        its not like last year with RLC - they're all pretty useless

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

      5 weeks it's probably around the same my guess would be if Tripp plays all 5.

      Both good shouts. Just prefer 4.5 def over a 4.5 mid.

      Walcott might rise tonight, so you need to decide soon.

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

        Checked the RMT jus for fun - even though it's practically useless.
        Tripp 24.12
        Wally 24.19

        Haha around the same 😉

  2. ImBobbyLove

    Decided to play my WC tonight, anything you guys can critique/would change?

    Begovic
    Robertson - Mendy - Alonso - Wan-Bissaka
    Mane - Salah - Pedro
    Aguero - Zaha - Mitrovic

    Boruc - Jorginho - Guendouzi - Daniels

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

      Is this the squad you wildcarded out of ?

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

        Squad I’ve WC’d into

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

          Kante over Jorginho imo .

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

            Yea I’ve made that change now. Saves an extra 0.1 and more likely to start

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

      Daniels might not be nailed anymore (the new left back Rico has served his 3 match ban). I would look at Doherty who rotates well with Wan-Bissaka.

      Jorginho, would look elsewhere. Think Neves and Will Hughes both are better options.

  3. The Legend Squad
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    A. Current Team

    Patricio
    Mendy Alonso Robertson Shaw
    Salah Mane Eriksen Neves
    Aguero Zaha

    Hamer Kamara AWB Elneny

    B. Potential WC Team

    Hennessey
    Mendy Alonso Robertson
    Salah D.Silva Moura Walcott
    Aguero Mitro Zaha

    Hamer AWB Neves Bennett

    Worth it? Or stick for now?

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

      Definitely go second team - Walcotts been impressive whilst Eriksen hasnt gotten out the blocks

    2. JJeyy
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      dont think wc is needed here great back line and solid elsewhere

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

    Current team

    Kepa, Stekelenburg
    VVD, Luiz, Mendy, Trippier, WB
    Salah, Hazard, Fraser, Neves, Masuaku
    Mitrovic, Aguero, King

    Transfer plans:

    GW4 - done Mahrez and Richie to Hazard and Masuaku for - 4
    GW5 - VVD, Luiz to TAA, Alonso for - 4

    Good moves?

  5. suddenorgan

  6. waitinginthelonggrass

    Many going without Hazard? Including those on WC?

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

      Looks a good pick under Sarri

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

    Knee jerked and bought Moura is as my Richarlison replacement. Very excited about it and I was close to settling on the troll Walcott. Tottenham haven't had a lot of love on here so far this year but they looked class tonight.

    Kun to (K)ane?

    1. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      You don't fancy Kun at home vs Newcastle?

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I didn't watch this match but I think this may stand: they won't be playing ManUtd every gameweek.

  9. Postman Ty
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Who's everyones biggest failure/disappointment so far this season.
    DDG has really done me in, already gone on the WC. First time ever going premium after his season last year, never again.

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      DDG by a mile and then some

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

      Aubameyang. I'm not gonna hang around and wait until he drags my team down. He gone.

      1. Postman Ty
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Good shout there. Glad I went with the wait and see approach for him, thought he would be a shoe-in by now.

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

      King

      1. Postman Ty
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Did you at least get his penalty or transfer him out before it like myself and others?

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

    Is Alonso, Hazard and Pedro too much Chelsea? I already have Tosun so Walcott isn't an option.

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

      no need for pedro imo

    2. Mr. Funny Name
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      How is Walcott not an option just because you’ve tosun?

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

        I don't trust Everton enough to double up their attack

    3. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I think Alonso and Pedro will be in the points in the coming weeks. Hazard has to prove he's not a troll first.

  11. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Predicted top four?

    1) Liverpool
    2) Manchester City
    3) Spurs
    4) Chelsea

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

      Chelsea can disrupt two eay battlr between Pool and City

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

      correct

  12. Mr. Funny Name
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    A) Rich + Bilva > Hazard + Cairney

    Or

    B) Rich + A.Smith > Alonso + Fraser

    Would be for -4

    Team is;

    Pat - Hamer
    Robertson-Mendy-Duffy-Smith-AWB
    Salah-Mane-Rich-Bilva-Billing
    Aguero-Zaha-Wilson

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

      B you're replacing two bad picks with two good ones. Bilva is fine.

  13. Sepp Blattered
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Fabianski - Foster
    Mendy - Robertson - Shaw - AWB - Peltier
    Salah - Bilva - Sigurdsson - Richarlison - Stephens
    Aguero - Firmino - King

    2 FT want Hazard and Mhiki - thoughts?

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

    Walcott is a much better player than Lucas Moura in real life #tryingnottolaugh

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years

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

    Richarlison, Pogba and Arnie owner. 1ft and 0itb.
    Do I need to do moves for all of them? If so I'm all ears for advice

    1. Team Bobcat
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I am going to hope arnie is okay. Rich needs shifting for sure. Pogba still fit so yoir decision on that one

  16. arndff_
    • 13 Years

    Eriksen(wat) to Hazard(BOU) for -4pts -- is it worth it?

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No

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

      Hazard better than Eriksen over the season I’d say.

        Don’t like it at all

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

      Taking Salah out for a -8 will never be “gtg”.

  19. The Legend Squad
    • 11 Years

    What do you guys think?

    A. Mane, Eriksen, Neves, Shaw

    Lucas- Richarlson
    Darmian- Alonso
    King- Ings

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years

      Unlucky pal I’ve taken a -8 for gw4 likely to backfire just as bad!!

    2. Charmy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

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

      No. Loads of people are stubborn though and will hold. I'm wagering they're gonna lose out.

  22. ZakAFC_

    Fabianski (Foster)
    Robertson, Mendy, AWB (Tomkins*, Bednarek)

    1. Charmy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Last question the night gents. First to 3

      Mane Moura Mitrovic

      Or

      Hazard Pereyra Wilson

      (Have Salah. Watford fixtures look tough)

    4. DR0GBA
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Hazard and Mane not rising tonight then?

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

      The question that will break me....

      A) Walcott
      B) Moura
      C) Pedro
      D) Mkhitaryan
      E) Gray
      F) someone else?

      ExWhuEmployee (a decent ITK) saying Arnie injured and might not be risked vs Wolves.

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

      A. Rich > Wally
      B. Rich > Pedro
      C. Rich > Moura
      D. Luiz, Rich > Alonso, Fraser/Other (-4), would probably play Fraser every week...

      Patricio (Hamer)
      Mendy, Luiz, Robertson (Wan-B, Peltier)
      Salah, Bilva, Mhiki, Rich* (Hudson-Odoi)
      Firm, Aguero, King

      1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
        • 8 Years

        Not

        1. Niho992
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Sane is better ofensively, and cant play both, guardiola said that last year.

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

        Why?

    9. Iwobi
      • 10 Years

      Thoughts on Monreal?

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

        Potential player for sure. Looks like he is more nailed than Bellerin.
