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.

    Ffs took cappers off Stan and then gave Alexis the cap instead. Still time left though. Cmon Sanchez my son

    Was so close to getting Stan in but I felt it'd be too much hassle getting rid of him for someone in his price bracket when Bournemouth's fixtures turn :/

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

      I bottled getting him for a hit over Allen..

    2. GHB
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      You can bench as 5th mid for that price

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

        I'm playing 352 now though

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

          Fair enough

    3. Annie

      Lol, when they turn...they have 3 great fixtures. Timid...

    Carroll & Hazard -> Kane & Stanislas? For free?

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

      Nah. Keep Hazard IMO

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …

      Stop copying me 😉

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

      Wait to see Chelsea. Not sure I'd want Stan playing every week. For me he's competing with Philips, Anichebe, Cedric, Bertrand and Friend (actually every player pretty much)

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

    I owned Arnie for a couple weeks this season. I think he got me 1 point.

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

      Me too 🙂 Fond memories

    2. twoplustwo

  8. Royal5

    Arsenal looking very poor so far

  9. fedolefan

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years

    Benched Arnie in Fantrax.

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

      Whenever anyone mentions Fantrax it always makes me think its some weird Soviet version of FPL.

  11. Lizard Lips

    Arsenal look soo soo bad here.

    1. Differentiator

    I'm already totally loving those Sanchez goals, but when are they going to happen? This match looks all wrong.

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

  23. fedolefan

    Donkey just ruins Arsenal.

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

    Always when I captain someone the team plays absolute fuch in sh!te!

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

      You had a warning last game

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

        Yes I know, but I'm always playing the safe option

  25. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    How deep is Allen? Not watching

  26. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Whats wrong with Gunners. Whole team looks uninterested

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

      You would be too if a 95 year old grandmother was your manager

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Hah! 🙂

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

    So this is what owning Alexis Sanchez feels like

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

      Not worth the cash now he's no longer up front imo. That was the whole appeal.

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

        This is what I said during the Bournemouth game.

        "Sanchez being glued to the wing in the last few games is rather worrying. Last goal he got was a freak FK and his team mates have to score Worldies for assists.

        Not ditching yet. Not even slowly moving towards the chopping board.

        But it is an issue."

        He scored 1 second later.

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

      😆 Same ere

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

    Get the sense it's a bit cold and miserable for Arsenal to be fully motivated.

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

      Surely the 1000s they earn per week should be enough fugging motivation?!

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

    Arsenal match looks like a friendly. They should be all guns a blazing trying to win. Probably squeak a 1-0 Iwobi victory late on or something.

  30. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Stokelona owning 😀
