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.

      Spurs have Citeh next week.

      Hang on ... not sure the point I'm making 🙂

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        All the more reason. I'm going to the game 🙂

        1. Pep bites Kun
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Spurs fan? Envy you mate. Should be a great game!

          1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Yes mate. Appreciate it thank you

            1. Pep bites Kun
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              Good luck 🙂

    Captain Stanislas off to a good start

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Link or didn't happen

        1. Pep bites Kun
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Yep - Kudos.

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Really? Fess up ..

  3. tm245
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Should have done my homework on Daniels, assumed he was on PKs if Wilson didn't play.

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

      He is, maybe Stanislas did well in training?

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

        Took one against hull last time

        1. Smarty Pants
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          with both Wilson and Daniels on the pitch

      2. tm245
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Has Daniels taken one when Stanislas was playing? That's what I'm not sure about.

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

      Daniels is a great choice anyway.

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Without PKs he isn't a great choice, imo. I don't like paying that price for threat only.

        1. Hy liverpool
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          At least wait after those three and decide .... for me he still a great choice even without penos.

    3. rivercityransom
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      this is what the set pieces tab says:

      Wilson, Daniels, Stanislas

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

      Glad I avoided the temptation for short term return over other options with a bad fixture this week

    5. JJJ
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      look at set piece link above.

      Wilson, Daniels, Stanislas

  4. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Naughton close

  5. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Hits paying off:

    Mane > Alli = 2
    Ake > Rose = 2 (probably)
    Costa > Defoe = ???

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

      Alli got 6.

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

      -4 for hit

    You need to follow your gut even when everyone say the opposite

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

      I agree it was a good idea. In the end, Sanchez and Defoe were ahead of him for me

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

      "Everyone says the opposite" that's just a straight up lie. Stop blaming people for what happens in the games.

    Swansea ain't starting too bad

    1. makaveli123

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

        if booked, unless he is booked already

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

          He always gets booked

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

          I like the way you worded that, in case he gets booked in the 8 seconds in takes to type that.

  10. Rh4ziel

    Kane>Costa -4 wtf

    1. Fred54

  12. bojack
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Jonty's advice on Stanislas was correct.

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

      Did he say he was on pens?

      1. JIM BOB

  15. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    FFS, took Stanislas out on my WC this morning because of the reshuffle after Costa.

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

    Giroud is struggling but looks like he'll run it off

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

      Hopefully all the way back to the sheds

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

    I'm not liking the look of Sanchez(c) at the moment with the way Arsenal are playing

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

      Not sure he's even worth all that money now he's no longer up front

      1. Ayew Serious
        • 10 Years

  24. TLF

    Brunt owners concerned about on going injury problem....

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

      Aye, apparently did something to his back.

      All that FPL expectation too much to carry...

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

      Not really

    3. Mr.Costa
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      was going to get him on McAuley next GW. Seems like the plan is off now

  25. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years

    Soo pleased I got Giroud in 🙁

  26. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

  27. twoplustwo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Bentekkers positioning not very good apparently

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years

  28. Fred54
    • 11 Years

    No liking the article header pic. They are too often future telling.

    1. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Looking at my points, I feel like he looks.

    2. Debauchy

      lol , yeah

  29. twoplustwo

    Friend doing well according to radio

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

    Arsenal look awful. Spurs look great. Knew that which is why I went Kane (c) over Alexis but the runaway poll made me change my mind out of fear. Anyone else?

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

      No I thought Alexis was the best option in my team. If I had Kane and thought he was the best option, I'd have captained him

    2. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He's back !

      1. Debauchy

        Oops Arnie
