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

    Walker is unstoppable and so heavily owned.

    Rival who captained Rondon last week has Walker and Alli(c) this week. Unbelievable.

    1. Venom Snake

      Sounds like a very good manager

      1. Hect.OR 98th

        He is. In the top 3k

    Silva is just too unselfish. Needs to use the runs as decoys and take defenders on himself

    1. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      They are lacking a finisher who creates his own shots. A bunch of guys who want to dribble it all the way into the goal besides KDB and maybe Yaya.

  10. Debauchy
    • 13 Years

    Relax guys
    Alli was due

          just pay attention during the dgws....easy to make up loads of points

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            true, but may be too far behind by then haha.

    Alexis is class leader. Running after defenders and telling his team mates to do so at the same time.

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

      Agreed.

      1. IL Fantasista

    Alli stole that goal off the toe of Kane. Unlucky for cappers

  16. money face bandwagon
    • 12 Years

    As least its not a kane goal 🙂

  17. Mickey Tyrion™

    Nothing worse than having your rose CS wiped out and then all the semi-casuals in the ML getting a Walker assist.

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

      Casuals owning high scoring players is not the defintion of casuals, its how you play the game.

      1. Mickey Tyrion™
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Note semi-casuals.. but not casual BECAUSE they own walker.. just casual in general, and it just so happens that they own walker.

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

      I guess you can call me a casual nowadays but why would owning Walker be more casual than owning Rose.

    3. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      So owners of Walker are casual , owners of Rose are not ?

      1. Mickey Tyrion™
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Don't be so dense.

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          That's the crystal clear implication in your post Einstein.

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

            Is it really? Casual players tend to get in players that are on the front page in terms of points. Walker scored a lot of points early so was there for a long time, he may still be. Therefore it's more likely that a more casual player will select Walker over Rose. Just the way things work.

            The repetitive price rises of Costa when on 4 yellows is another example of the same thing. Both have been good moves, obviously. But I still get what MT was saying and simplifying it in the way you did is a bit... um... un-Einstein like.

            1. George Sillett
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              There are a number of clear assumptions in his post though. How does he know that these people play the game on a semi casual basis ?
              It just appears to be a clear case of sour grapes.
              So actually it is a relative simple debate.

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

                He was talking about his ML. If he's in the same ML as them it's a fair guess that he knows them isn't it?

  22. TheTinman
    • 10 Years

    Watch now as son scores and alli will get the assist typical murphys law

    1. Neeskens Under Matip

      Son's on the bench?

  24. Jafooli
    • 14 Years

    Thought PL didn't have a winter break. So why has Kane taken one?

          never liked the cup anyway 🙂
          Only hope is Can injury and De Roon off the bench

      2. Ziro

        Can't wait to use my WC. Need to change at least 11 players.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years

          same here.

      3. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        Every time! Eriksen is the furthest forward

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

        Is Walker+Foster+Snoddy-->Gibson+Randolph+Walcott (-4) a good move?

      5. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Pep is LvG v2.0

      6. Sailboats
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Eriksen playing CF. Kane MIA.

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

          All us Kane owners need a peno for Spurs

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

            he'll probably miss it

          2. Ruth_NZ
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Would suit me. Especially if Alli draws the foul. 🙂
