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

      One hand is enough for that

        Wrong site 😛

      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, 3 months ago

      definitely not

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

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

    2. TheBusDriver
      • 10 Years

      What's ur rank

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

        2.9k atm

    3. Jam0sh
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months 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 🙂

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      Hopefully Sanchez does something.

  3. Magic Bean
    • 10 Years

    Us Aguero captainers got lucky yesterday

    1. Pirlø's Pen
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

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

  4. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Jagielka deserves 2 BPS for that stop

  5. Lingardium Leviosa.
    • 11 Years

    Holgate coming in for Valencia 😎

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

      At least it's not Smith or Huth

    Baines alonso olsson evans holebas
    Sanchez alli eriksen siggy king
    Lukaku vardy carroll
    2ft 0.1m itb

    Looking to bring in kane

    So vardy > kane

    1) siggy > zaha
    2) siggy > 6.3m
    3) baines > 4.5m
    4 alonso > 5.1m

      13 pts today says the LOL is on non-owners.

      1. L'Aeroplanino
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        agreed

  8. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      1

  9. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

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

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

    Anyone TC Ibra in GW34?

  11. Ready Manager One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

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

    1. Assisting the assister
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Illness and fatigue apparently

    2. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

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

    3. Lingardium Leviosa.
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Ta both

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

        I believe so

  14. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Barkley motm over lukaku and mirallas 😆

    1. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Do they still count MOM in the Sky game?

  15. Memphis1900
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    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
      9 years, 3 months ago

      correct

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yep

    3. MTPockets
      9 years, 3 months ago

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

    4. Mic
      • 9 Years

      Thanks all

  17. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Gwk 33: Ibra - > Kane (c)

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

    Look OK?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    2. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Thinking of making the exact same moves.

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

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

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

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

  18. sunzip14
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

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

  19. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

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

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

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

    2. BRFC1883
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

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

  20. Rover
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

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

  21. Pirlø's Pen
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

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

  22. Sims
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    71 (-4) from 8k

    Green or red?

    Average around 65 so will be very close I guess

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

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

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

        1 point from pieters and Walcott left

  23. cescpistols1
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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!

  24. Inside Left
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Ahead of your rival by how many points?

      1. Inside Left
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

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

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

      I would give Sig one last chance v Watford

      1. Inside Left
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

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

  25. Kun Tozser
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      A or C. Probably C as Ayew needs to go

  26. Assisting the assister
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Think Shakespeare will need a new play - Romelu and Jagiet

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

      Ha!

  27. Rock Papiss Cissès
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Holgate's autosub gives me 100pts
    🙂

    1. Ravager
      • 11 Years

      Congrats!

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Great score congratulations

  28. bring_on _the_fantasy
    • 15 Years

    Baines 5pts? Or just 2?

  29. Mark-O
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Can Everton win Chelsea on gw35?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Possible.

    2. BRFC1883
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Why not

  30. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    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
