Fantasy managers back Spurs over Man United in Monday Night Football

5,411 Comments

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.

    Mane + Bilva + Rich > Hazard + Walcott + Pedro (-8)??

    A) Yes
    B) No

    Mane's statistics away from home against the top 6 (which he has 2 of in the next 4) is awful, so worth getting rid for Eden?

    Or I could take a -4 and do Mane + Richarlison > Hazard + Fraser (-4)

          I actually like this.

          I mean I'm on the Salah > Mane team but I think the points will come to both and having one is essential not both

          Nope... I toyed with getting rid of Salah for Hazard and getting Mane in but Salah is too essential - most consistent FPL player by far and it's only a matter of time before he gets a haul.

                    Walcott
                    Better fixtues and nailed longer if it comes to that

                    I've been torn between A and B for days now... the question is will Hazard against BM outscore Mane against Leicester by 4 or more?

                    lucky there is a 0.1 gap between doing Mane>Hazard after Rich>Fraser so in theory can still do it after the price rise tonight

                    In fairness, what Jose said was right. He was still running after the rest of the shower had checked out.

                  Can’t make up my mind on Pedro.

                  I know it’s between him and Willian for that spot. Just feel Sarri prefers Pedro at the mo?

                    not sure tbh Willian could start on the right next game for all we know

                    but since Sarri played Pedro at RW when Willian was on the pitch in the previous games it makes me think he's the preferred RW with Eden at LW

                    Just to play devil's advocate getting Holebas could be a good option to keep a balanced team instead of the 3 premium defenders. Depends how the rest of your team is

                        Honestly I haven't looked at him in detail but both Watford fullbacks got returns that's where he'll pick up points as well as odd CSs
