Kane auditions for Gameweek 34+ in meeting with Everton

The Fantasy community will have their eyes firmly on the exploits of Harry Kane (£10.9m) as Spurs host Everton on Monday night.

The premium forward is set for an appealing trip to Bournemouth in Gameweek 34+, which the Cherries will approach on the back of conceding five at Manchester United over the weekend.

For that reason, many are interested to see if Kane can be trusted with such a fixture, increasing the interest in the visit of Everton to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

As ever, he is the spearhead for Spurs’ attack, tonight flanked by Son Heung-min (£9.8m) and Lucas Moura (£7.1m).

That means Steven Bergwijn (£7.3m) is on the bench for the second time in three Gameweeks, joined there by Erik Lamela (£5.7m).

By contrast, Giovani Lo Celso‘s (£7.3m) importance to the team only increases, the Argentinian earning his third successive start in Gameweek 33+.

Following the 3-1 defeat at Sheffield United, Jose Mourinho has made the first defensive line-up change since the Premier League restart, dropping Davinson Sánchez (£5.3m) to the bench, replacing him at centre-back with Toby Alderweireld (£5.3m).

Conspicuous by his absence is Dele Alli (£8.3m), absent from the matchday squad.

Everton line up in their usual 4-4-2 formation, with Richarlison (£8.2m) overcoming the ankle knock he picked up against Leicester to start up-front with Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.4m).

Fresh from netting a penalty in that win over the Foxes, Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.3m) earns a place on the left-hand side of midfield, where André Gomes (£5.2m) and Tom Davies (£5.3m) are trusted with central roles.

As ever, budget defender Mason Holgate (£4.4m) finds himself at centre-back once again, Yerry Mina (£5.3m) named among the substitutes.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris; B Davies, Dier, Alderweireld, Aurier; Winks, Lo Celso, Sissoko; Son, Kane, Moura.

Everton XI: Pickford; Digne, Keane, Holgate, Coleman; Sigurdsson, Gomes, T Davies, Iwobi; Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.

    Politics should really stay away from sport ffs.

      Use the countdown as a trigger warning next match and maybe you won't be so upset by a simple gesture of solidarity

      I think the messege is loud and clear now.
      Are they going to do it whole season ?
      Just asking out of curiosity

      1. Sandy Ravage

        I'm more curious to see what happens when players take the knee with fans in the stadium.

      Can't see any involved right now

      What politics?

      So you can ignore it more easily? Awareness is part of the problem

      Why should sports be in this protected bubble while the world is burning down around it?

      People have been duped into thinking BLM isnt just a front for leftist politics. Any criticism will be met with people calling you racist etc... But take a look at BLM's own "WhatMatters" program, its literally almost a copy of the main talking points from the democratic party program, including on issues that have very little to do with racism.

      Also most of the money donated and raised is wasted on "consultant and administrating fees" (good luck getting a complete breakdown from them). In other words, despite the very valid case of ending racism, dig a little deeper and its partly a vehicle for democratic politics and partly an embezzlement scheme.

      The Kick It Out campaign has a much more valid case for increased exposure on issues of racism and equality, especially in the Premier League.

      If people of African descent have suffered horrific oppression for more than 500 years, is it really too much of a burden to see professional athletes kneel down in a show of solidarity for 10 seconds when you watch a game of football?

      Is it bothering you that decent people care?

          In all my years of posting, you’re the first person to ever mention it.

    Odd time to tie your laces, just before kick-off.

    1. Lucy2019

      You will be getting called racist in 3-2-1 🙂

      1. SackWenger
        • 14 Years

        It’s the world we live in unfortunately

      Lol

    3. Ginkapo FPL

      Is that really an odd time?

      1. SackWenger
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yep - team could go on the attack while you haven’t done up your laces and find yourself 1-0 down.

    Mahrez out for which of these three please: Antonio/Foden/Willian?

    1. Lucy2019
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      None.

      1. Milk, 1 Šuker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Why? I don't think he'll start

        1. Lucy2019
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Don't try and guess Pep selection but fact he came off early suggests to me he starts next game. You could move to Foden and he could easily be benched.

          1. Milk, 1 Šuker
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Foden has started each of the last three home games with excellent results

            1. Bubz
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Probably both start

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Antonio looks a good bet...

      1. Milk, 1 Šuker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I do like him. West Ham all to play for

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Makes some sense then... But Mahrez too.

  4. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Sissoko already getting on my nerves

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Why?

  5. Bubz

    How on earth did Pickford play in a world cup

    2. Lucy2019

      Below average keeper.

    3. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Hes okay. Certainly better than the other england keepers bar heaton maybe

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Pope? Henderson?

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Really? Theyre no better

          playing in a park the bus system is a lot different. Remember oickford was a world beater at Sunderland

    4. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      England squads have always been dictated by zeitgeist.

    5. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Keeper is indeed one of England's weakest positions right now.

      Pickford
      TAA Maguire Dier Chilwell
      Rice Henderson
      Sterling Foden Rashford
      Kane

      That's probably their best lineup.

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Dean Henderson, Gomez and Sancho are Spanish?

    6. Custard Gannet
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'm an Everton fan, he's definitely not the best 'keeper England have.
      But he had a very good World Cup and his inclusion at the time was justified.

  6. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    WC team is on its final drafts now. Thoughts?

    Pope Martinez
    TAA Digne Holgate Saiss Taylor
    Mane KdB Foden Fernandes Martial
    Kane Rashford Nketiah

    1. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      As a fellow Pope/Taylor owner, I would perhaps suggest looking elsewhere given the injury to Mee.......Burnley is starting to look very thin and it’s a matter of time IMO that they will start letting in a few more goals.
      Otherwise, very good with the possible exception of Mane......is he going to be rested quite soon?

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah Mane is cover for Liverpool's decent next two fixtures. If he's rested/rotated/Liverpool look bad I can get rid in GW36.

        I hear you about Burnley defense, but Pope is still outstanding value and Taylor is a 3rd bench for the rest of the season until I need him for bench boost which will be in a favorable Burnley fixture.

        1. DannyDrinkVodka
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          You could theoretically hedge and get Foster instead of Pope.....

      2. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Also Pope/Taylor double up here - it's a valid point about Mee. Sigh..

  9. SuperMane Returns

    Evening all,really thinking to target vs the smaller teams for a GW34 FH....

    Ederson
    Trent/Aurier/Kiko Femenia
    Son/KDB(c)/Sterling/Fernandes/Martial
    Greenwood/Kane

    3 x Man City (NEW)
    3 x Man Utd (ast)
    3 x Spurs (bou)
    1 x Wat (NOR)
    1 x Liv (bri)

    What do you folks think?

    1. backstreets
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I have Pulisic instead of Martial... Villa are decent at back and martial best form is at home

  10. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Son visibly more central today

  11. Pompel
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Fully expect Son (sold) and DCL (benched) to punish me tonight. Bring it on, just get it over with .

  12. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Any chance we can just keep this to a calm and collected 1-1

    Lo Celso and Alex Iwobi to score

    Pretty please!

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      DCL brace would really put the cat amongst the pigeons since everyone is getting rid.

    Spurs have a short turnaround after Bournemouth before the North London derby. Any chance they don't go that strong against Bournemouth, be it in terms of performance or squad selection? You'd have to think NLD would matter more and Arsenal will have a longer rest period

  19. FOO FIGHTER

    Any of you considering a Puli William double up?

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Not enough midfield slots given the other rich options

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        It’s a challenge yes

        But they are both looking great

      2. james 101
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        City assets have firm and fixtures. But rotation...

    2. Siggy in the Middle
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Not with the amount of options in midfield. Don't wanna get rid of my Martial/Bruno axis, nor my KDB/Mahrez pairing. That just leaves room for my sole Chelsea asset, Willian.

      1. Stormbringer22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        That is my exact midfield right here

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      What about all the other shiny midfield toys?

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Martial and Bruno are a given

        Kdb too. Probably. Or mahrez.

        One of the Chelsea boys is a good move.

        I’m considering dropping salah.

        • 12 Years

        Would have been good mate

        Eg martial Bruno Kev puli williams

        Not even that expensive

        1. Stormbringer22
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I had that but opted for KDB, Mahrez, Bruno, Martial, Willian instead in the end

          1. james 101
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Kind of comes down to

            Mahrez vs puli/will

            They have better form just now and less rotation

            No?

            1. james 101

  25. Brosstan

    Son is not playing LWB today, more central.

  26. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Do spurs ever try a run in behind ?

    So static, just waiting for a cracker to come off

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Anyone who makes a run in behind is out of position for the defensive work that is the main foundation of Mourinho football. Same with players making high risk passes.

      Long shots dont take you out of your defensive position

  27. Warby84
