After Zlatan Ibrahimovic delivered a goal and assist for his 29% owners in United’s 3-0 stroll at the Stadium of Light, we now make our way to Goodison Park as two of the most in-form frontmen in the top-flight go head-to-head.

Everton’s Romelu Lukaku looks to score for the seventh successive home match, having struck ten times in the previous six in front of his own supporters.

Over 10% of Fantasy Premier League managers have pinned their captaincy hopes on the Belgian, making him the fourth most popular pick for the Gameweek.

Jamie Vardy rolls up on the back of five goals and a pair of assists in the last five Gameweeks.

Backed by over 16% of FPL managers, the Leicester City frontman faces a tough task against a defence with five clean sheets in their last six home fixtures.

Yet with the Toffees hit hard by injuries and suspension at the back, Craig Shakespeare’s side will fancy their chances of claiming a sixth straight league win since the departure of Claudio Ranieri.

In saying that, it remains to be seen whether the decision to bench Riyad Mahrez will backfire, with the Foxes manager clearly having one eye on the midweek Champions League encounter with Atletico Madrid.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    If you have to sell one to get Kane who goes, Eriksen or Alli?

    I think Valencia has too much rest. Part timer

    Lukaku goals good for owners but non captainers?

    1. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yes.

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …

      No difference. Hurts non owners and captainers are laughing.

    3. Magic Bean

    Wish i had jags instead of baines

  7. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Alli captain was a bit of a fail really

    1. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      He still scored tbf.

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah I was tempted by Lukaku and Ibra though. Ah well

        1. andymck
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah hindsight is 20/20 - captaining arguably the most in-form player in the league at home against a team with nothing to play for missing their best central defenders will always be a great idea on paper.

    2. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      So was Aguero

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      seems so now esp with Lukaku playing at home

    4. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Owned both but dropped points because of Alli(c)

  8. French Gooner

      8 years, 10 months ago

      Literally just going to post same thing. I went Ibra so happy. Well done anyone that captioned Kaku though.

    ROMELUUUUUUUUU

  10. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Wow

  11. Stupendous
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Captaining Aguero WAS a mistake after all.

    Get in Luka!

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Nah, was good enough. You're rarely gonna catch your top scoring player

  12. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Lukaku has been flat track bully this season

    1. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      He has more goals against the top 6 than Sanchez Ibra Costa and Kane.

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Hence ideal for FPL

    3. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Thats all I ask. Better than trolling vs small teams like he has doing last year

    Kaaaaaaakukukukukuku

  14. Mark-O

  15. Clifford☯
    • 9 Years

    Lukaku !!!

  16. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    • 10 Years

    Lukaku 4-2

    1. The Wizard of Ozil

      Vom.

  17. Viper
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    I genuinely don't know if I should celebrate these goals or not as a non owner 😆

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      *non captainer

  18. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Another hat trick incoming

  19. PvA
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Lukaku is the GOAT in the Premier League

    3 - Lukaku (53)
    2 - Jagielka (35)
    1 - Mirallas (33)

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Good to see Jagielka not even close

  20. FALCAO & MOU
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Kaku could easily score a hattrick.

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      30 Minutes to get another one

  21. Mark-O
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Sanchez yet to play against an away Lei with a dgw incoming

  22. PvA
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Ranieri out

  23. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Romelu is desperate for me to get my longest green arrow run of the season. Hopefully Sanchez shares that sentiment.

  24. Hybrid.power

    Come on Vardy ta f**k

    1. Revival

      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      1. Debauchy
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Lol

  25. Numb
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Lukaku could catch Shearer's Premier League scoring record depending where he goes in the summer, you know.

  26. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Captain Lukaku didn't even cross my mind. dammit

  27. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Lukaku hat trick incoming for sure. Too much time left

  28. Viper
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Vardy off on 60

  29. TorresMagic™

    • 16 Years

    Vardy 5 pointer.

  30. Sess!
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    84pts with Sanchez to go. Outside chance of hitting the 100pt mark.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Hope you do.

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers. Must be a high scoring week generally though.

    2. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      78 with Sanchez and Zaha. Hoping for same. Lukaku could still provide more, too.

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Nice
