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.

    Richarlison for
    A) Pedro
    B) Walcott

    Looks like both are rising tonight...

    1. Khark
      • 10 Years

      B easy

      1. Moore FPL

      A easy
      Chelsea are stronger than a Richarlisonless Everton.

      1. Moore FPL
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks, hadn't thought about that.
        Damn it's so even!

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

      Just did A

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

      B.
      He’s got it all. Nailed, form, fixtures and a tasty Huds at home coming up

      Pedro is too risky with Willian lurking

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

    Would you rather have Walcott or Monreal for the next 5 GW's?

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

      Chips or Nettles.

    2. Moore FPL
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Wally

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

      Walcott.
      Arsenal can’t defend
      Wally is nailed with great upcoming fixtures and good
      Form

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

    Is taking a hit the week after a wildcard as stupid as it seems to me?

    1. Moore FPL
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Depends on what for

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

        Hazard, in case Mane doesn't rise too.

    2. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Stick with it a while you picked those players last week for a reason

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

      Haha you regretting wildcard?

      Sounds stupid yes, but everything is relevant in its self ... whoever you’re planning, if you picture the new players points + the hits to be greater than the originals then of course it’s not stupid but I get what you mean

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

        I always wildcard too early. It's like an illness.

    4. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      It's irrelevant what you did last week. What gives you the most points in the future.

      Sunk cost theory

    5. ZLNR
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Nah it'd only be stupid if it was because you hadn't planned your WC past one GW.

  4. davies
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Getting Walcott on WC as a Richarlison placeholder makes so much sense, right?

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

      Yes or Pedro

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

        Got Hazard

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

      Yes. Clear choice imo.

  5. waldo666
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Thought on this for a -4?

    Richarlison and Gudmundsson to Hazard and Neves (Neves to rotate with Wan-Bissaka)

  6. nico05
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Hello there, After taking Richarlison out I will have 8.2 mil what transfer would you make?
    Patricio
    Shaw Mendy Robertson Tomkins
    Salah .….. Mkhitaryan DSilva
    Firmino Aguero

    Or would you take a transfer hit and do a double swap?
    Thank you in advance.

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

      Walcott and Shaw to Alonso?

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

    Richarlison, Neves, Salah > Hazard, Walcott, Pedro?

    Or consider other alternative perhaps Mikhi or Moura? Already own Mane.

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

    Anyone have a team of Salah, Hazard and Aguero?

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

      + Mane/Firmino

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

      Nope got hazard aguero kun moura mkhi instead freshened the team up

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

      I have Aguero, Salah and Mane currently

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

      Just bought Hazard so all 3.

    5. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      yup i will do soon

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

    Just for a FFS cross section how many points did people earn tonight.

    1. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      7

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

      Zero from zero , so happy with that 🙂

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

        2 from Paul pogba

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

        I'd be worried if you weren't

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

      28 tonight

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

        Moura_tips hat.

        Great pick, off the Mainstream FF Scout radar in general

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

        Very nice. Big green for you then. Hopefully not too many of you around

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

      10 I just have Kane

    5. jomikijiq
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      15

    6. noahzark22
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      6 from Eriksen

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

      Zilch

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

      15

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

    Need to make these transfers tonight

    A) Salah > Hazard (bench Richarlison and play WBA)
    B) Mane + Richarlison > Hazard + Fraser (-4)
    C) Richarlison > Walcott/Pedro
    D) Mane + Richarlison + Bilva > Hazard + Pedro + Walcott (-8)

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

      B or C
      B is a bit risky for a hit and Mane could punish
      C is the safest option.

      Don’t sell Salah.
      And D could end in tears

  11. Geezer
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Richarlison to Moura for free a no brainer or knee jerk and get Wally instead?

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

      Would much rather Moura.

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

      Both are a knee jerk tbf , could be close between them over the next few.

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

      Walcott for me, fixtures are ridiculous.

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

      Haha Moura is the knee jerk 😉

      Walcott the best choice. Son could already be back in GW 5 + Lamela.
      And that Huds at home fixture

  12. NestorC
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    So after tonight, are you getting Wally or Lucas?

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

      Pedro

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

        Not worried he will play around 60 minutes?

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

          He can do more in 60 than Walcott in 90

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

          Fully expecting him to get 60-75/game. He beats Wally in pretty much every stat. Everton without Richarlison isn't as strong. Pedro has 3 good fixtures where as Walcott's third is Arsenal away (you can make a case it's decent but not as good as West Ham)

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

            I just don’t believe that Willian would have stayed to be a bench player. Think FFS is overrating his nailedness

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

              I feel maybe Pedro has currently grasped Sarri's vision quicker than Willian.

              Pedro a more experienced head who does put in one hell of a shift.

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

                Maybe that’s true, but still think willian will get a game soon. They did score 2 goals after the switch this GW tbf

            2. MTPockets
                7 years, 4 months ago

                Don't think he's signed new contract yet.

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

                That's the risk I'm willing the take. Really don't fancy Walcott at all and stats back it up. But I can see why people go for him, those fixtures are amazing.

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

                  Fair enough. Always go with your instincts of course

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

        I’ve gone Walcott ... but I have Kane so not sure whether that clouds my judgement

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

          I sold Lucas last week for a hit, so it clouds my judgment for sure

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

      0.1 ITB to make Mané + Richarlison -> Hazard + Walcott

      Priced out by 0.1 of both Haz and Walcott rise tonight, but will get another 0.1 if Mane rises and thereby have the funds. Hold and tinker tomorrow for transfers (e.g Richardson -> Miki) or do it tonight?

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

        Thinking of ditching Salah not Mane and using funds elsewhere

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

        Looks good to me, if it’s ya gut go with it. No point pricing yourself out to tinker to then be disappointed

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

        Looks good. Do it tonight and avoid the risk.

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

      is Alonso worth of -4 ?

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

        Others are wildcarding to fit him in

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

        He was for the first 3 GW's but depends who you are taking out.

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

          Ogbonna and Mane for Alonso and Pedro

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

      lose one

      A) Mkhi
      B) Walcott
      C) Moura
      D) Mitro
      E) Wilson

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

        B

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

        E

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

        E

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

      Thinking Alonso is with the premium over Luiz....

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

        Yup

    6. Klip Klopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      A. D.Luiz + Richarlson --> Alonso + Pereyra for a -4
      B. Richarlson --> Walcott for free

      1. Mino Raiola
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I aslo want to know this kinda

        A D.Luiz + richarlison > Alonso + pedro/wally for a -4
        B Richarlison > Pedro/wally/LucasMaura/Mkhi

      2. Mino Raiola
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        leaning towards A, as alonso might just be worth the -4 alone. he just proves time and time again that he is fantasy gold

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

      Arnie owners - is it a case of wait til Friday and go Mitro if he's out?

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

        yep, wait and see for me

      2. barcaa7
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Yes

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

        Depends on your subs bench I guess.

        If you have WB as a 4th defender then 442 an option

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

        Yeah waiting for news.
        Given they are assessing him day by day, he will definitely be ready for GW 5 after the break, so I’m keeping

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

      Got Hazard already...

      Walcott or Pedro for 2 GW’s?

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

        Pedro

      2. In FPHell
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Wally definitely

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

        Walcott
        Don’t believe Pedro is nailed at all.

    9. Transferred Out
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Would you start Ings or WB ?

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

        Ings for me

      2. In FPHell
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Wan B, Saints aren’t gonna score

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

        AWB all year every year.

    10. flippetyflop
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Am I insane for wanting to wildcard this team? Really want Alonso Mitrovic + Mkhi

      Players in bold are players I really want rid of:

      FOSTER FABIANKSI

      mendy robertson SHAW kabasele wan bissaka

      salah SILVA walcott FRASER STEPHENS

      aguero AUBA wilson

      1. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I don't think you need to wc at all

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

        You really want rid of Fraser and Shaw? Shaw looked great today even though United lost. Fraser is more than fine.

        No need to WC at all.

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

        I also don't think you need it. But others have WC just for Alonso

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

          Which means don't feel bad about pulling the trigger if you decide that's what you wanted to do.

    11. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Right, you have to choose one, which is it?

      A) Alonso

      B) Mendy

      1. Arctic monkeys
        • 12 Years
