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

      Baines is a waste of space. Everton don't win pens. He doesn't take free kicks or corners. Holgate a better option at the price.

    67 including bps with Sanchez to play. Probably still ends up in a red arrow

    1. GreatCarragherReef
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      definitely not

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        It was yesterday and only Ibra & Lukaku got points today. Two players who were likely captained by many

        1. GreatCarragherReef
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          51 last night was a green from 8.5 to 7.5k for me

      What's ur rank

      1. Viper

    3. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      69 for me and Sanchez also to play. We are fighting for same OR positions Viper and possibly will be a week that we wont get green but also not lose much ground 🙂

      Hopefully Sanchez does something.

    Us Aguero captainers got lucky yesterday

    1. Pirlø's Pen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      He was a bit of a let down really. May have to welcome in Kane for him.

  4. Sim Simma

    Jagielka deserves 2 BPS for that stop

        agreed

  8. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Im on WC now and wondering:
    1. Hazard + Zaha permanently
    2. Coutinho + Zaha with possible switch to Sterling/Pedro
    Other mids will be Sanchez, Dele and DeRoon

    1. Pirlø's Pen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      1

  9. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Aguero + Davies -> Kane & defendder (-4) on the cards. Doesn't feel right tho

  10. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Anyone TC Ibra in GW34?

  11. Ready Manager One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Best 3rd striker options to replace Carroll? Thinking of Benteke, but not sure if I trust him enough to pull trigger.

  12. jackhammer1
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 day 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??

  13. Lingardium Leviosa.
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    Why was Coutinho + Firmino benched? Nothing to worry about?

    1. Assisting the assister
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Illness and fatigue apparently

    2. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Coutinho was sick in the days leading up to the game. Firmino needed a rest

    3. Lingardium Leviosa.
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Ta both

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years

        I believe so

  14. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Barkley motm over lukaku and mirallas 😆

    1. twoplustwo

      Do they still count MOM in the Sky game?

  15. Memphis1900
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 day ago

    I have Davies, Alli and Eriksen. Want to transfer Costa to Kane with 2FT. What's the best option? Go all out attack on Spurs or have 1 Spurs Def?

    A - Costa to Kane, Eriksen to King.
    B - Costa to Kane, Davies + Baines/Aloso to Gibson + 5.0 DEF. Will have to take a -4 hit to do this.

  16. Mic

    Wow so i only just discovered fffix... wow. I assume it doesnt actually change your team for you right just suggests things?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years

      correct

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years

      Yep

    3. MTPockets
        9 years, 1 day ago

        That's right. Bit random though, and price predictor not brilliant.

      • Mic

        Thanks all

    4. Viper

      9 years, 1 day ago

      Gwk 33: Ibra - > Kane (c)

      Gwk 34: Lukaku & Siggy - > Ibra (c) & Zaha - 4

      Look OK?

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        Yes

      2. andymck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Thinking of making the exact same moves.

      3. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        I would just do kaku to kane gw33 and save -4.

        1. Viper
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          Can't afford it. Need the Zaha move for funds

    5. sunzip14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Any Lukaku all season keepers up until here? I've happily accepted 193/196 points he has earned and mostly captained him right, except today!

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        Yup, me, armband will be on either Kane/Lukaku for the rest of the season

    6. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years

      Is King related to Vardy?? Could definitely pass as his doppelganger

      1. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        I was thinking that too they are the split of each other must be the same father

      2. BRFC1883
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        One is the others dad, forget which way round it is

    7. Rover
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Great! Captaincy headache now between Lukaku and Kane...

    8. Pirlø's Pen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      19 from Sanchez and Zaha and I'll hit 100, first time this season I've even been close!

    9. Sims
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      71 (-4) from 8k

      Green or red?

      Average around 65 so will be very close I guess

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        Depends if you have any player left... There will be many autosubs

        1. Sims
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          1 point from pieters and Walcott left

    10. cescpistols1
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Pickford Jakupovic
      Pieters Smith Yoshida Holgate Gibson
      Hazard Sanchez Alli Sterling Redmond
      Ibra Lukaku Barnes

      Is this a good WC team? Still have 0.6m in the bank. Thanks lads!

    11. Inside Left
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Need some advice, right at top of my ML:

      Siggy and vardy>zaha and kane for a hit or just siggy to zaha and then to kane in wk34?

      And zaha the best sub-6m mid? Or king? Thanks.

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        Ahead of your rival by how many points?

        1. Inside Left
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          Overall leads is +40, 6pts covering 2nd-5th... (I'm 4th)

      2. boredjames
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        I would give Sig one last chance v Watford

        1. Inside Left
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          Siggy's had a couple of last chances. I think Swa's belief has gone.

    12. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      A. Vardy+ Walker >> Kane + Toby (to fund Kane)

      B. Vardy + Ayew + Siggy >> Kane + Albrighton + Coutinho

      C. Vardy + Ayew + Siggy >> Kane + Josh King + Coutinho

      1. liiusions
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        A or C. Probably C as Ayew needs to go

    13. Assisting the assister
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Think Shakespeare will need a new play - Romelu and Jagiet

      1. Lingardium Leviosa.
        • 11 Years

        Ha!

    14. Rock Papiss Cissès

      Holgate's autosub gives me 100pts

      Should have switched vardy back to Lukaku this GW, now Im considering the following. Thoughts

      Sanchez to Walcott
      Carroll to Kane
      Vardy to Lukaku -4
