Gameweek 28 serves up one final treat for Fantasy managers as Queens Park Rangers welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Loftus Road on Saturday. With no further involvement in the FA Cup, the London clubs are free to play their match in hand as they tussle for points at opposite ends of the table.

All eyes will be on Harry Kane. By virtue of Spurs’ double Gameweek and his run of 12 goals in 11 starts, the 21-year-old forward was the runaway leader in our Captain Poll, claiming 64% of the vote. Kane drew an untimely blank against Swansea in midweek – despite fashioning five shots at goal – but will be encouraged by the R’s inability to keep a clean sheet in their last four home ties. Christian Eriksen bagged an assist against the Swans and will be keenly observed by his 200,000 new owners, while Nacer Chadli’s delicate volley in the 3-2 win reaffirmed his finishing prowess.

All three start in today’s lineup, as Mauricio Pochettino keeps faith with the majority of the XI who earned the midweek win – Danny Rose is the only casualty, having earned an assist against Swansea, he drops to the bench as Ben Davies slots in at left-back.

As for the hosts, QPR are without a win their previous five home clashes, losing their last four in Shepherd’s Bush. Charlie Austin, whose goals (15) account for more than half of the Hoops’ output (28) this campaign, will be the primary concern for Spurs’ rearguard. Elsewhere, with four assists in three starts, a resurgent Matt Phillips has emerged as QPR’s chief creative outlet. Phillips starts his fifth consecutive league outing, as Mauricio Isla returns to the starting lineup on the opposite flank with Junior Hoilett making way to the bench. Rio Ferdinand also returns – he comes in alongside Steven Caulker, as Nedum Onuoha moves to right-back with Darnell Furlong missing out through injury.

    Foster dropped. Yikes.

      🙁 lets hope for a huge west brom loss

    2. Lallana_
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      At least Dawson owners can be assured Wisdom isn't getting his place back.

    Eriksen is my lowest scoring midfielder.

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Same. Would go for him again though!

  6. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Kane goal to hit a ton. Would be first of the season.

    1. SPorting
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Baps should help.

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Included that 🙂

      It's put me on 99 after bonuses and subs.

      1. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        It WOULD put me on 99.

    3. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

    How in the world was that not a foul? 😆

    1. Lallana_
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Why did you drop Foster?

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        To the bench you mean?

        1. Lallana_
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          Yes.

          1. Not Irish
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 9 months ago

            Wasn't very confident in WBrom this week. When PvA was benched brought Wolly in for him and Panti for Foster.

    • 11 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Eriksen has been quite underwhelming in this DGW hasn't he?

    1. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Yes

    2. The Machine

    3. BeachBadger

    4. Lallana_
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Yes but he hit the post. That could of put him at around 15+ points easily.
      Fine margins.
