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.

    Heaton, Grant
    Alonso, Walker, Chambers, Ake, Amat
    Sanchez, Hazard, Eriksen, Firmino, Phillips
    Ibra, Defoe, Diomande
    1FT 0.1ITB
    Want to get rid of Ake but cant afford anyone decent, thinking of shipping firmino to Llalana or Coutinho. Thoughts? I know havent played yet but need to do before price rises

  9. The Wise Owl
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Lord Heaton.

  10. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Need Alonso to stay quiet and concede tonight.

    Otherwise I will rage quit the game.

    Some FPL ghost has changed my team and put him last on the bench behind Pieters and Carrick.

    Meanwhile Lovren is in my first XI.

    Genuinely baffled by who this has happened.

    Alonso was still in the starting XI this morning and no-one else has access to my team.

    Go figure!

    1. MTPockets
        9 years, 3 months ago

        FPL ghost?

        1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          No idea as I said. Haven't been drunk either.

      • IndyStarJack
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        You in a competitive mini league?

        1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah. Why?

          1. IndyStarJack
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Maybe got hacked

      • Tansey
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Did you have a few too many drinks one of the nights by any chance

        Drunk transfers are praised and encouraged around these parts

        1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          I'd be proud of that sort of thinking to be honest. Especially as a Liverpool fan 🙂 As it is I've no idea.

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

            0-0 Tomorow 😉

      • Sanchit
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Same happened with my team.
        VVD last on the bench with Grabban starting.
        I don't know who did it :O

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

      Desperately need Heaton to hold on here.

      1. denial
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yes. This. Please

    3. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      damn -played grant over heaton.

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

        Why oh why?!

      2. Conte Cristo
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Forster over Heaton

      3. Ayew Holding Mee Cork
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Sell Heaton if you are not going to play him at home:)

    4. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Worst fk ever ruins a Benteke assist. Fitting for his garbage performance.

    5. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      FTs yet?

    6. Sonic Huth
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Sell Costa for Lukaku? Already did Ake-Chambers

      1. sillyhilly69
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Hold for more news.

        1. Sonic Huth
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Was Ake to Chambers a right decision, btw?

    7. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Holebas > Ake, 3 GWs ago.

      What could possibly go wrong.

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

        Ake get recalled by Chelsea and not make the squad. Holebas to keep a cleansheet with decent fixtures to come.

        1. Fred54
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Ha.

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

            I forgot to mention the goal Holebas will score next gameweek too

    8. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Origi to Gray didn't out as well as I thought it would.

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Origi to Wilson for me. Not good too.

      2. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        The classic cheap-mid price 3rd striker slot is cursed this year. Only get a handful of returns in a small window.

      3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Took a hit to get Giroud in, at least he's scoring points. Sick of the 6-7M 3rd striker conundrum, either get Defoe or Lukaku or downgrade for 3-5-2

      4. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Origi to Giroud for a hit. Meh...

    9. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Oh.. Heaton

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

      Who needs to go first?

      A. Cedric
      B. Pieters
      C. Benteke

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

        C 100%. He'll never score again.

      2. sillyhilly69
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        A.

        He's been useless for the past 6/7 GWs

    11. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not worrying about goalkeepers and leaving Heaton in all season has worked out nicely...

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

        Makes next season very easy, Heaton and a 4.0. FPL gold.
