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
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I think the baps are probably finalised now.

        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

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

        1. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Yikes, didn't need that.

  3. KUNingas
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 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, 4 months ago

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

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Kane vs sub for Costa + 4

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

        Still worth it

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

      Looks solid

    2. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah

    3. E25
      • 10 Years

      yep

  6. Kaneyonero

    Whatever happened to the Oxil of last year

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He has 9 goals , and has been great this year

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        This

      2. Rolls-Royce
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 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
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Ozil and the Ox's love child?

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 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, 4 months ago

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

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 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

      2. Manilaman

      Kane -> Benteke for a -4?

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

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

    • Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

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

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Coutinho back soon will do him a power of good.

    • Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Eriksen 63% for another rise

      Guess that's the peak then

    • Wetdream
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Is Kane to Zlatan worth -4 ?

      1. The Wise Owl
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Just did it, given up caring now.

        1. Wetdream

      2. Lav
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yes

    • EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

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

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Depends how many playing tomorrow.

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Can(possibly) and Firmino

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            You still want Ibra so no difference.

            1. EmreCan Hustle
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 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.

    • Le _ Professeur
      • 10 Years

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

    • F4L
      • 11 Years

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

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    • Lav

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

        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.
