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.

    1. Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Same, it's why I purchased Daniels in the first place 🙁

      1. Ravager

  9. tm245

  10. Sif
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      3rd choice behind Wilson and Stan

  11. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I remember him taking one before

    2. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

    5. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years

  13. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    People must be loving Costa right now, especially the ones who took him out for Kane

  14. Annie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

      1. shirtless
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        I really expected Pulis to park the bus. Hopefully Ibra is ill as Kane is my (vc)!!

  23. Trading Bear
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Classic Daniels purchase decision. Definitely not worth his price if he's not on penalties.

  24. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    You know that sick feeling when everyone else's team is stacked with the early match's high scoring players and yours isn't? You know that feeling when half your team is playing against the other half? You know that feeling when you took a totally unwarranted -8?

    Doesn't look good this week ........ time to refresh matters with a premature wildcardelation.

    1. Klip Klopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

    5. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I know the feeling but one of my best gameweeks happened after Costa, Hazard and Alonso destroyed City and Aguero got his red... I only had Aguero and was on -5 after the first game... things can easily turn around, chin up and don't panic!

    6. Scholes Balls
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Dude I have costa, ake and vertonghen... I feel the first game was just the start of my worries

      9 years, 3 months ago

      Lol. That's some prediction....

      1. Wilson to not start
      2. Bournemouth to get a pen
      3. Stan to take it over Daniels.

      He really is a genius 🙂

    9 years, 3 months ago

    This game is so effed up.

    Held on two or three weeks too long on Pedro and Siggy and held off switching one of them to Phillips.

    Y'day decided Stanislas is now a better option than Phillips so I'll switch Siggy to him.

    Then bottled it and went Phillipd anyway.

    Also took off the armband from Kane this morning.

    1. GreatCarragherReef
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago
