After Jay Rodriguez guided Southampton to a 3-1 win at the Vitality, we’re treated to a couple of 4pm encounters that may well have a significant impact on the Fantasy Premier League standings.

Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen are heavily backed to get the better of Burnley at the Lane.

The in-form pair have each scored twice in two of their last three home appearances, earning first and third place in our Gameweek 17 Captain Poll respectively.

Frustratingly, our Scout Pick Toby Alderweireld misses out with a minor back problem, though we’ll have an eye on Spot the Differential candidate Danny Rose against a Clarets outfit with a single goal to their name on the road so far.

Man City and Arsenal square up at the Etihad in the other match.

Alexis Sanchez seeks a fifth double-figure away haul against a City defence that’s been far from convincing, with just three clean sheets to their name so far.

With the Gunners now poised for some excellent upcoming fixtures, a big performance from Theo Walcott could persuade some Sanchez owners he is worth a double-up option.

Sergio Aguero remains suspended for City, with Pep Guardiola once again benching the likes of Kelechi Iheanacho and John Stones.

Kevin De Bruyne is the man most likely for the home side, though the Belgian’s run of 10 league appearances without a goal has left him on the Fantasy periphery.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Kane to Ibra, bench Costa, Rondon starts I'm 352.

    Sanchez Hazard Zaha Siggy Crapoue

    Seems sensible enough?

    1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
      • 14 Years

      Yeah

      I'm doing the same,
      Kane to Ibra and bench Diego. Playing Capoue

    3. Johnny 8
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      That's what I'll be doing. Bought Costa early on so would lose too much value if I got rid. Plus he's the most consistent forward this year while Harry looks pants at the mo.

    Does Costa, Defoe and Pieters out for Ibra, Origi and Jones (-4) sound good?

    1. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Keep costa

      1. Pooodle
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Just wondering if the next 2 games for Ibra are a way to catch up some points considering Costa is out

        1. twoplustwo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Most are doing Kane to Ibra. What's the rest of your team?

          1. Pooodle
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Foster, Pickford
            Alonso, Pieters, Holebas, Amat, Macauley
            Sanchez, Hazard, Siggy, Zaha, Fletcher
            Costa, Kane, Defoe

    Honestly can't believe how Arsenal are playing, walking around like they're winning 5-0 against some league 2 side... unbelievable

    Decision to sell Kane for Ibra yesterday evening vindicated by Kane's performance today.

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Still has 12 mins to score 12 goals...

      1. FALCAO & MOU
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I bet he won't touch is own balls 12 times, forget the ball in the next 12 minutes.

      Wanted to sell for a hit this week for Ibra, reckoned I was being harsh and decided to give him the Burnley match.

  12. El-Kloppico

    Nacho 5min cameo to punish Allen and Aké benchers for their lack of trust! 🙂

    Anyone thinking of Negredo as a third striker option? 4 in his last 4 and they have a nice run coming up.

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Negredno

    2. TooDifficuIt

    Kane is never getting my armband again.

    1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He's given me a solid 8 points in these past two gameweeks. Lovely.

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years

      He is never getting in my team again

      Home against Hull and Burnley, he gets a 2 pointer...twice

    Kane hat trick next gw and Zlatan blank. This is how this game works

    1. Chris_White

      You know it

    2. TheSteel

      Zlatan blank. Good one!

    3. Nomar

    Rank from Kane. Disaster.

  22. Frank Black
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I don't want to brag, really, but boy is this Rose & Walker double Spurs defense working. Two assists last week plus two clean sheets, one goal and one assist this week. Really glad i've played both of them, my entire defense has scored points. Woohooo!

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Well done

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Nice one. Great decision

      1. Frank Black
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        To be fair, i've captained Kane, so in that regard i'm as much of a failure as everyone else.

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Aye, people often overlook defenders and some go to the extreme of having dirt cheap defences, but they can be exceptional value when factoring in attacking returns.

  23. Jafooli

    C'mon Kane you massive fud muffin.....

  24. MrMaverick

      -10 bps for a mis control tends to hurt Feo most weeks

  27. The Rock

  28. twoplustwo

    Kane to Ibra is going to be a face-ripping rally
