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

    Any chance of Walker sneaking in an extra bap? Will Rose get 3 baps because of winning goal? Sorry, missed the games.

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      I think the baps are probably finalised now.

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        they havent added Roses winning goal BAPS yet so things could change

        1. fedolefan
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Yikes, didn't need that.

  3. KUNingas
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    My attacking trio
    Kane, Costa, Anichebe
    Should I do
    A) Costa -> Ibra (play 4-4-2)
    B) Kane -> Ibra (play 4-5-1)
    C) Save and play 4-5-1 with Kane

    If i ditch Costa i want him back soon. Bought him 10.6. Any thoughts?

    1. Manilaman
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Sell Kane, waste of 2 transfers for Costa in/out

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Kane vs sub for Costa + 4

      1. Manilaman
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Still worth it

  4. Ibralicious
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    A. Nyom-> Chambers for FT, hope Sanchez doesn't rise in price to ship Haz out next GW
    or
    B. Hazard->Sanchez + Nyom->Chambers for -4 with 0.0 ITB

    *Need Chambers as defence is looking very weak for next GW. If Sanchez rises by .1 won't be able to get him in next GW

    Cheers!!

    Been taking a lot of little hits in recent gameweeks. Should I do it again?

    Kane + Vert ➡️ Ibra + Alonso/Azpi (-4)?

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Looks solid

    2. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah

    3. E25
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      yep

  6. Kaneyonero

    Whatever happened to the Oxil of last year

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He has 9 goals , and has been great this year

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        This

      2. Rolls-Royce
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Not sure I'd agree with that. He does not influence the game even as half much as he did last year. He is no where close to his creative best. Wenger asking him to focus him more on scoring goals has brought a negative change in him I'd say.

    2. E25
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Ozil and the Ox's love child?

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Funny how people keep coming up with these "___ has more assists than ozil this season" completely ignoring his increased goal tally

    4. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Linked up better with Giroud up front than he does with Sanchez there.

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Agreed, Walcott and alexis seem to be thriving
        Although ozil in the goals

  7. Jay_

    Kompany absolutely raging. Transfer request could be coming

      And dress like blue seats

  11. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Kane -> Benteke for a -4?

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Considering the same
      Then I'd want to upgrade Fer to Siggy/Walcott

  12. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Here's hoping for a Bobby Firmino hat trick to save the week!

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Coutinho back soon will do him a power of good.

  13. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Eriksen 63% for another rise

    Guess that's the peak then

  14. Wetdream
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Is Kane to Zlatan worth -4 ?

    1. The Wise Owl
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Just did it, given up caring now.

      1. Wetdream
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Ha ha know the feeling,got a decent rank but lost my way last few weeks and my mate just overtook me in my ml.He was 70 points + behind 3 weeks ago......

    2. Lav
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

  15. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Would you do Kane to Ibra this early for a hit? No midweek, but still.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Depends how many playing tomorrow.

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Can(possibly) and Firmino

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          You still want Ibra so no difference.

          1. EmreCan Hustle
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Cheers.

  20. Hect.OR 98th
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Another bad week, crashing out of the top 100k. I'm surprised I've stayed there, only having two weeks of the last eleven inside the top 1m each week. Just can't get a decent run going and my players look good on paper but just aren't returning points. I'm now 100 behind in a ML I led in the early weeks.

  21. Le _ Professeur
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I already have Ibra and I'm thinking of doing Kane ► Lukaku .. anyone considering it ? .. next 2 fixtures might be good for him.

  22. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    When Mane leave, will Firmino be playing RF with Origi ST still?

    1. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Maybe,

    2. MY DJ NAME IS PIMP CURRY
      • 15 Years

      When is Coutinho back?

  23. Lav
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Alonso or Azpi?

    1. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Flip a coin

    2. teki0s
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Either is great. I went with Alonso back then and only by chance he didnt score or assist yesterday..

  24. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    No point selling Costa is there? Bought him at 10.6.

    1. Lav
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Might lose some money but who cares. Out for one week and most in form striker in the prem.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Sell for 10.8, buy back 10.7

  25. ChrisHXS
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Erkisen for:

    A) Lallana
    B) Walcott

    Was thinking Lallana but like the ARS fixtures...

  26. Jordan.

    9 years, 7 months ago

    Well another crap wk.
    39 no baps incoming.
    Firmino to go.
    How's everyone else on here doing?

    1. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      50 all out

    2. Lav

      9 years, 7 months ago

      42 (-4) all out

      Better than my 29 pointer last weke that saw me drop 100k. Will see red again but its an improvement.

    3. Ten Season Wonder
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      47 with Lallana to come. Still really bad though

      nothing is going right this season

    3. Les Bleus

    4. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      whats the cut off

    5. Hect.OR 98th
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Probably me. 1.5m after yesterday, expecting to be 2.5m or worse today and with only one to play tomorrow. I've got a good history over seven years, never outside the top 15k other than my first season of 55k, including a top 100 finish. This year it's all going wrong.

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years

      Should have started Allen anyway
