With the Spurs assets delivering in the early kick-off, we move our attention to six more encounters to seek out further returns.

Arsenal’s trip to Swansea City undoubtedly provides the key interest, with more than 700,000 (16.5%) FPL managers turning to Alexis Sanchez as their Gameweek 21 captain.

With Olivier Giroud earning more than 350,000 transfers ahead of today’s deadline, it’s fair to say that Fantasy managers will be willing Arsenal to follow Spurs’ lead and produce goals and points aplenty.

Paul Clement’s first home game in charge provides an unwanted x-factor, however. It remains to be seen if he can lift a Swans side that has shipped 23 goals at the Liberty Stadium, the worst home record in the Premier League.

Elsewhere, Sunderland’s Jermain Defoe is heavily backed ahead of a home encounter with Stoke City. Brought in by 266,000 FPL managers ahead of Gameweek 21, more than any other FPL forward, Defoe has returned a goal or an assist in five of his last six Stadium of Light encounters.

Meanwhile, at the KCOM Stadium, a host of mid-price and budget assets go head to head with our focus on the likes of Robert Snodgrass, Junior Stanislas and Charlie Daniels.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Thats what howe gets for benching Wilson

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years

      Had Wilson earlier on as the cursed 3rd striker. Left one pen on the bench, managed to catch another. However he spends more time injured and rotated. Not worth having.

    Hmm.. Not sure what to do with Giroud now..
    As a captainer- it is a bit bittersweet!

    Didnt look too good at all actually today. He was hobbling around since about the 15th minute.

    Not sure what to do. Get rid of Costa or Benteke. Costa could easily outscore Benteke even from China

    I don't get this two own goals from today after Eriksen and Iwobi shots- both shots was on goal and their intention was to score a goal, rest was just ricochet.

    1. Simon Says...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      All about if it was on target before deflection.

      1. wachu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        have you seen these shots? both was on target. Now, goal no.3 for Arsenal was own goal, but this two was not IMO.
