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.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Yeah probably right.

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

    Correct me if i am wrong, but Mane won't rise before Hazard right?

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

      He's behind at the moment.

    2. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      B

  4. Gentle_Turks

    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Richarlison and Bilva to Mkhi and Moura for -4?

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

      Yes

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

        Thanks. Anyone else?

    2. Belalugozi78
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No. Just find Richy replacement

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

        Who’s your pick for replacement?

        1. Belalugozi78
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Pedro

  5. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Ok -4 and have DDG & Shaw who are likely going to drop this week. Other than that my team is ok. Still tempted to WC.

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

    Come on guys reassure me that Mane will rise along with Hazard.

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

      He will b sold for hazard

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

    Pedro goal attempts 9... Wally 4

    Pedro's stats in the comparison tools superior to Wally's.

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

      And Chelsea is a better team. But whoever people pick, make the decision yourself and stand behind it. It's short term so it can go either way.

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

        Yep and this!

        Only for 2 games really... you'd think Pedro will at least get 100 minutes from both.

        Can see Chelsea posting some big scores over the next 2.

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

          For Pedro it's 3. Doubt I'm bringing Richarlison vs Arsenal when Chelsea plays West Ham.

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

      I think it depends whether or not you have Hazard

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

        Which I don't. Not until I wildcard anyway.

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

        Yeah for sure. On wildcard Hazard is a good option but not worth a hit to bring in for Mane.

      3. Bad Kompany
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Disagree completely

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

    Who to ditch for Hazard?

    Salah or Mane?

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

      Mane

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

      it's my biggest dilemma to, but i cant afford hazard if I drop mane,but i m think salah will outscore hazard

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

    Fantasyfootballfix has Richarlison on -59 % but still expected to be dropping tonight! Can that be true?

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 4 months ago

        no

      • JJeyy
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        why use that over stats

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

          I like the progress/hour feature but normally use both as datapoints

    2. Ohh1454
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Thoughts on king and bilva to zaha and Lucas for a hit ?

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

      After tonight do you think Kane should be included on a wildcard?

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

        No

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

        No

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

        Oh Yes.

      4. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        How can you justify him 1.5M more than Aguero?

        If your someone that will bring him in next to Salah and Aguero, would you captain him over Salah or Aguero? I doubt it....

        I just don’t see the appeal.

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

          You can fit in all 3 (would just mean no Mane/Hazard and only 2 as opposed to 3 premium defenders)

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

        definitely not

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

      Which is better ?
      A- Rich > Moura
      B- Rich & King > Pereyra & Zaha
      B for -4 pts

      1. MTPockets
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Probably no hit option, but otherwise rich/king to fraser/mitrovic?

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

        201 overall points. Starting to rise up after leaving 39 points on tge bench in gw1.

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

          Nice one! gl

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

        Does everyone have a plan for Richarlison when he’s back?

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

          Unfortunately no

        2. International Richard
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Imma bring him str8 back in

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

        Richarlison to Walcott Done

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

        Anyone considering Gundogan as a 5.5m wildcard 'punt'?

        He seems nailed in midfield with KDB out until November, he's playing in the best team and averaged nearly 5 points per 90 minutes last season. He would be taking up my third City spot though. Main alternative would be Fraser.

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

          I did briefly. Not a bad option, gets into good positions and has taken some corners and free kicks.

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

        Best option? cheers.

        A) D silva and Moura
        B) Hazard and Gray

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

        Repost lads

        Pick one lads, transfer over the next few weeks:

        A) Rich,Bilva,Mane,Pva--->Walcott,Fraser,Hazard,Alonso

        B) Rich,Bilva,Mane--->Moura,Fraser,Hazard

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

          When you just look at
          1) Walcott + Alonso vs 2) PVA + Moura

          I'd pick A

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

            Thx lad

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

        Just a reminder that Lucas is the 4th best attacking option at Spurs

        1. MTPockets
            7 years, 4 months ago

            But tonight matthew he's gonna be B.Andwagon

        2. Arctic monkeys
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Austin to Wilson worth a hit ?

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

            yes

        3. Delph & Safety
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Thoughts on Andros Townsend? Price going down and looks under the radar.

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

            Solid player.
            Owned him as a diff in the past, so it's a no from me

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

          What the hell is wrong with me. I want to WC but my team is fine. Can't get it out of my stupid head!

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

          Those going with Pedro...

          Do you have Hazard?

          1. MTPockets
              7 years, 4 months ago

              no

            • Dele
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Nope... Alonso and Pedro will be my 'coverage'.

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

            Eriksen, Walcott, Mkhitaryan, Gudmundsson, Salah

            Mitrovic, King, Ings

            2.5 ITB

            I used one FT on Rich to Walcott.
            I have one more FT I may use to get Gudmundsson out, however, my current GW4 lineup would have him on the bench. Whoever I bring in would have to unseat Mitrovic (bri) or AWB (SOU). I'm leaning toward saving.

          3. Down with this sort of thin…
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Couple of questions guys if you can help. Shopping in poundland for mids at 5.1 or less. Thinking Neves or Jorginho. Any other ideas? Anyone seen much of Wilshire? Thanks!

            Also, is Mitrovic rising tonight?

              A
              Taking a -4 to try gain a +4 with a CS means you're either going to get a net of -2 or 0. Unless you're expecting a penalty save.

            https://mobile.twitter.com/ExWHUemployee

            Bit worried about Arnie

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

              "There is hope! It isn’t as serious as feared but he has struggled a bit with niggling injuries this season already so club don’t want to risk him!"

            2. Ask Yourself
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              He started the season with a problem it was silly he shouldn’t have played the first game. If you have a non playing bench yeah do a -4 i’d Prioritise rich out tho

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

              Wait for Arnie news surely.
              It didn’t sound too serious as they are assessing him
              Day by day
