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

    72 pre baps with Sanchez left, it's nice when you cover yourself with the big players and they all click.

    1. KJT123
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      is that supposed to be a good score?

    2. itwaswritten
      • 9 Years

      83 pre baps with Sanchez left. I've only done this good once.

  2. FALCAO & MOU

    68 points fielding 10 players, no points from defense is not so bad.

    Re-post: Eriksen or Alli, which one goes to get Kane?

    1. Assisting the assister

    2. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

    The captains are scoring more and more as time goes on:

    Alli - 8
    Aguero - 9
    Hazard - 10
    Ibrahimovic - 12
    Lukaku - 13
    Sanchez - ?

    1. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Alli - Early KO on Sat
      Aguero - 3pm on Sat
      Hazard - Late on Sat

      Ibra - Early on Sun
      Lukaku - Late on Sun

      Sanchez - Monday night

      9 years, 3 days ago

      Yeah for Kane even though Kane is just getting back from injury and Lukaku is scoring

  13. Sim Simma

    Jagielka will score another goal

    1. Mark-O

    2. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      If that is what romelu now calls himself, I agree.

  14. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

  15. NestorC

    9 years, 3 days ago

    Anybody knows what is happening with Valencia? The special one said nothing about him.

    1. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Focus on Europa trophy seems more practical for them

    2. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Given a rest I assume

    3. Clifford☯
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      rested for Europa League.

    4. borat
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      showing muscular injury on fffix. likely to be avbl for chelsea match

    5. NestorC
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      So he is good as nothing in pl games, as much as a fpl asset?

  16. borat
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

  18. Crow
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

  19. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    On WC:
    Would you go with Hazard + Zaha permanently or Coutinho + Zaha with possible switch to Sterling/Pedro ?

  20. My neck my back my Saed Kol…
    • 11 Years

    Costa to ibra for free?

  21. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Lukaku has Watford at home in gwk 37. He's going to be difficult/risky to leave out of those WC teams

    1. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      This is the dilemma. At the moment id back Lukaku v Watford against Gabbiadini x2.

  22. FALCAO & MOU
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Is Ibra essential for 34? Man may defend for their lives, but Ibra will score against Guardiola and Burnley can defend well too, I can't decide here.

    1. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Yeah id say so. Perfect captain material then you can get rid if you want.

  23. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

    2. Feed tha Sheep
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

    3. Crow
      • 9 Years

    5. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Kane captain
      Mee and Heaton can stop Kaku

  25. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    81 point gameweek after bonus and subs.

    How the hell I get Kane back I don't know but with Lukaku playing Burnley it won't be any time soon...!

  26. tm245
    • 14 Years

    I have no players in the Everton Leicester match, when does it start?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years

  27. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    1. makaveli123
      • 9 Years

    2. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      1. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Yes 🙂

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      No. Have you seen his fixtures after Spurs? Can't say he is not in form.

    4. Feed tha Sheep
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      If it is Josh king absolutely not!!

    5. BALOOO
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Keeping till the end i think, great fixtures after Spurs.

  28. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Always have a playing defender first on your bench when playing 3-4-3/3-5-2, it's a gameweek saver

  29. jackhammer1
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Have Davies, AllI and Erik... current front 2 of Ibra and Aguero.

    A. Get kane in for Aguero. -4 (mustafI for Davies as the make way)
    B. Lukaku in for Aguero. Free transfer

    What do you reckon??

  30. Lav
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    If WALKER and VALENCIA played this week I would be on 70+ right now...

    Instead I am on 59 (pre bonus) with Sanchez left
