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

    @ The Head-Ake
    Just checking which of your teams am I playing in Jarvish Cup?

    1. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      More than one team. Why?

      1. Oven Glover
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        I can barely handle one

      2. Annie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        the link on the Cup doesn't have his name, but another team in his league and the one his username links do does.

        1. Oven Glover
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 days ago

          Uh oh

          I hope Jervish kicks him if this is the case

          1. Annie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 2 days ago

            I only need 8 points for Sanchez so I'll do it anyway.

      3. liiusions

      That is a bold claim have you proof of this Annie?

      1. Annie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        proof of what? I've stated what I see. Just confused by why his username has another ID.

        1. The Head-Ake
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 days ago

          I didnt even know I was in

            • 13 Years
            9 years, 2 days ago

            Your name is, but it's another team in the same league as your username (league called Same Guy something)

            1. The Head-Ake
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 2 days ago

              That would be me 🙁 Same Guy is a league with only my accounts in it

              1. The Head-Ake
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 2 days ago

            9 years, 2 days ago

            Enlighten me. Is having more than one team a crime? Still new round' here I guess

          3. Ógie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 2 days ago

            If you did not enter someone is impersonating you
            The said team should be kicked either way imo

        2. Ógie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 2 days ago

          It is cheating straight out you are dead right to bring this up i hope you get justice Annie

          1. The Head-Ake
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 2 days ago

            If it is, I do apologize. I wasn't aware and its pretty much cause' I only care about a league with me in it. No Mini-leagues pretty much

            1. Ógie
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 2 days ago

              That is fair enough but it is Annie and Jervish you should offer your apology to

              I would suggest withdrawing your 2nd team from the competition and deleting it so as to comply with the rules of the game

        Lol! No prob

  5. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Help mates, pick one 😉

    1. Hazard + Zaha permanently
    2. Coutinho + Zaha with possible switch to Sterling/Pedro

    Other mids will be Sanchez, Dele and DeRoon

    1. Lav
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      1

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        Just Coutinho is on fire now and cheaper...

  6. Lav
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    On WC, what front 7 looks best?

    A.
    Eden Alli Eriksen Cout King
    Kane Lukaku

    B.
    Eden/Sanchez Alli King Zaha
    Kane Ibra Lukaku

    1. Ravager
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      B

    2. Rex Lapis
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      B

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

      I'm considering B on my WC

    4. Totally !rre!evant
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Don't like the midfield on B but with Zaha and Ibra on doubles I would say B, just.

      1. Lav
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        Yeah the midfield is weaker, but I can make my defense stronger on B

  7. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Foster (Jaku)
    Alonso Walker Fernandez (Nyom Funes*)
    Sanchez Siggy King Alli (De Roon)
    Kun Lukaku Llorente

    0.3 ITB...

    Would you WC this lot or hold tight until 35?

    1. Lav
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      I was in a similar situation with a better team and I am using the WC. No TV to make any impact transfers and needed the change now

      1. Ravager
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        I'm honestly so split. I'm thinking I can keep pace with my team with my ML but I still feel like I need change cause I've been frustrated the past 3 weeks...

        But then I'd really love to have the WC to prep for the doubles.

        1. Lav
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 days ago

          Use WC to get players with DGW

          1. Ravager
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 2 days ago

            Thinking of 37 actually. Original plan was to WC in 35.

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Wouldn't WC

      1. Ravager
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        Appreciate the reply

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

      Why WC in 35 and not in 36 and then BB in 37?

      Thats twice Valencia has let me down and twice iv Mawson off the bench = 3 points . What a disappointment.
      I'm at 79 all out and no Sanchez.
      God I need him to be quiet.

      1. Lav
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        59 pre bonus Sanchez left

        Walker and Valencia would have helped this week

    6. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Is Costa > Kane worth a -4? Any advice?

    10. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Would you wildcard this lot?

      Pickford
      Alonso B.Davis Pieters
      Sanchez Alli Eriksen Siggy King
      Aguero Lukaku

      Foster | Gestede Maguire* 3.9

      1FT, £0.5

      Or should I just do Aguero + Davies -> Kane + PVA(or any other def) -4 ?

      1. Pep's Money Laundry
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        No way should you wildcard that team. Just do one transfer

        1. Rolls-Royce
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 days ago

          Can't get Kane in without selling a Spurs player

    11. Sim Simma

          1. Jazz!
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 2 days ago

                • 11 Years
                9 years, 2 days ago

                GW35/36 AND GW37

                I suspect the first will be GW35, which will have the Arsenal game. HUL ARS

                GW37 one will be mid MUN, so very decent fixtures.

                1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 16 Years
                  9 years, 2 days ago

                  Wowsers!!! I can get him, WC 35, then? Noice.

                  Thanks for this, Jazz - 4.3/4 for Yoshida will sort this poor bugger very well.

                  1. Jazz!
                    • 11 Years
                    9 years, 2 days ago

                    Yep, best to get him in your GW35 WC. It's why it's the popular route, since the Arsenal Saints game will probably be scheduled for then (also a chance it's in 36).

                    Hit the WC GW30 myself and Yoshi has been beautiful. 🙂

      Lukakus the front runner for next week captaincy now.

      Kane probably won't last even 70 mins if spurs are comfortably ahead. Ibra and aguero with dodgy fixture

      Gotta captain lukaku. DO you understand what I'm saying to you right?

      1. Lingardium Leviosa.
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        I'd prefer Kane though with all that firepower behind him

      One thing I'm taking from this season is to have a strong bench no matter what form at least mid way thru the season. My rivals had guys missing this wk and the likes of King,Albrighton and Yoshida are filling in for them .
      Iv Mawson and amat.
      Never ever again. Wouldn't mind my tv is about 6million greater. How does that happen??

      Instead of making an early move for price rises this week, I need to wait for Eriksen to rise so I can ditch him for Kane 😆
