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

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

        I agree, he could have had a couple of assists last game, people are so impatient, although I know he costs a lot.

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

          And there's Kane back

      Carroll to Kane
      Vardy to Lukaku

    3. George James

    5. WVA
      • 9 Years

  4. VFORVANDETA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Siggy Kun>Kane Coutinho(-4)?

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Yes if other Strikers and Mids are strong

    2. ameenkw
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      depends on the rest of your team .. they look gd on paper ..

  5. CABAYE4
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Best midfielder for 5.6?

    Trying to find a way to get Kane in and get rid of Antonio at the same time.

    1. George James
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Townsend

      1. CABAYE4
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        Too expensive sadly, same for Zaha.

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      King still at that price?

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

        5.9

    3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Where is Zaha's price?

    4. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Jesse Lingard is exactly 5.6m

    5. ameenkw
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      RWP / Markovic your best bet .. Dont like any options

  6. George James
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Sorry if already been discussed but do we know the reason why Valencia was left out again?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Fatigue.

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years

      Muscular injury, Mourinho says he should be fit for Thursday and thus Chelsea too

      Should be fit for Thursday

    4. ameenkw

      injury

  7. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Was set on Kane but Lukaku has turned my head, so who is everyone captaining?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Kane or Lukaku.

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Kane

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        Very tight between the two, I'll think I'll stick to my rule of sticking to the first player I put the captaincy on, less heartbreak that way

    3. AndyCook
        9 years, 2 days ago

        Lukaku, more will have him

      • ameenkw
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        Lukaku has form .. Kane just coming back from injury ..
        It'll be interesting ..

    4. PvA

      9 years, 2 days ago

      Thoughts? Feel like a lot of deadwood is gone

      Tadic, Negredo, Walker and Capoue

      My forwards are Lukaku, Ibra (+ Gabbi). I'm seriously considering GW33 Ibra -> Kane, GW34 Lukaku -> Ibra. 2 FT. Am I crazy?

      1. Carlton P
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        I'm keeping Lukaku for wham

      2. ameenkw

        Me no like .. find a route using Gabbi ..

      Getting interesting up the top.

      https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/team/91223/event/32

      King on the bench, no Kane or Lukaku.

      Chasing pack made good ground this week.

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        Knut has lost his magic

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years

          Will do well to finish top 50 probably.

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

        Top 2 didn't do too well this week

      3. DeadStarComing
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        Is it crazy that I don't like his team?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 2 days ago

          No, people are catching as it's not great. He has chips so can fix in 35/36.

    8. purple.emu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Why are people rushing to get Kane back in?! He has a history of taking a while to taking a while to get upto match speed after injury. If you have 2 spurs mids that covers spurs points anyway....

      1. Carcetti
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        Kane could of easily scored a couple yesterday

      2. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        ...keep summoning the Kane hattrick...keep summoning... 😉

      3. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        Because he has high potential. And why 'cover' points when I can get his points on top of my other points.

      4. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        I'm not on the bandwagon. Already have Alli & Eriksen and am reluctant to ditch Ibra or Lukaku just to get Kane.

      5. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        Bournemouth... that is why

        1. the snazzy viking
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 days ago

          we said the same about HUL and BUR

      6. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        People had 2 Spurs mids yesterday and still didn't 'cover' all the points on offer.

      7. purple.emu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        Nah you don't need just get son in!

    9. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Jaku Picky

      Alonso Valencia Bavies Brunt Chambers

      Sanchez Alli Eriksen Siggy Sane

      Ibra Kaku Barnes

      Best way to get Kane? Ibra + Eriksen ➡ Kane and Haz?

      1. Carlton P
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        Bavies > yoshi, ibra > kane

    10. Bruno Bruno!!

      GW rank updated

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

      60 points GW rank of about 1.1 mill

      My 2 points of the bench would bring my GW rank to 870k

      Wtf another ref arrow because of the points on the bench

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

        And instead those points come in after tomorrow

    12. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years

      Please start one of
      A) Valencia vs Chelsea
      B) Stephens vs Man City
      C) Gibson vs Arsenal

    13. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Current team:

      Valdes / Pick
      Bertrand / Valencia / Davies / Alonso* / Fabio
      Sanchez / Siggy / Zaha / Eriksen / De Roon
      Aguero / Ibra / Origi

      Are these moves worth a -8?

      Aguero > Kane
      Origi > Lukaku
      Alonso > Holegate

      Which will give me with the big front 3 of Ibra / Lukaku / Kane without harming my first 11 too much I feel.

      Or do I go without Lukaku and just do Aguero > Kane or do I go Aguero > Lukaku.

      Thoughts?

      Best defender for 4.6 or less who is not Stephens or Bernando..

      2. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        I like Holgate. Southampton can't get cleanies without VVD and Everton have nice games coming up. They missed Williams today who will make them better

        1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 days ago

          well they have had three cs since he got injured so thats not true really, and if you take into account saints defenders attacking returns and bonus points they arent bad options and the price of Yoshida and Stevens

      3. Carcetti
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

      4. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        Jagielka looks a good pick with his fixtures, I would have bought him over Holgate if I had 0.2m more.

      Now that Ibra has form is he going to be the obvious captain for GW34? When I asked this a week or two ago most replies were suggesting he wasn't even needed for the double. Interested to see what people's latest thoughts are?

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        Yes

      2. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        nope, happy with Kane cap

      3. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        Well I haven't changed my stance on him.

        I don't expect much, but I would rather have him being wasted in my team, than not have him and have my rank wasted.

    17. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      So who here if bringing in Ibra and who isn't ?

      If United score, he will be involved but they play the Manchester derby and Burnley away. For many it will also be instead of Lukaku, who has now 23 league goals already...

    18. ameenkw
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Heaton / Pickford
      Alonso / Baines / McAuley / Maguire / Kingsley
      Sanchez / Alli / Eriksen / Siggy / De Roon
      Lukaku / Defoe / Origi
      2 FT & 2.2 ITB

      I'm thinking Defoe + Siggy -> Kane + King
      I'll have 0.2 spare .. good moves?

      1. Ballistics
        • 9 Years

        I would

    19. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Hey guys, I'm planning to bring in Ibra in GW34 but the DGW isn't overly appealing for other transfers. I realise I have an issue in defence with Brunt, McAuley and Amat not playing in GW34 but am also concerned about Vardy's game time with Atletico coming up. Which three transfers should I make over the next two weeks? 0.1 ITB

      Heaton - Pickford
      Mawson - McAuley - Valencia - Brunt - Amat
      Sanchez - Siggie - Alli - King - Eriksen
      Vardy - Lukaku - Carroll

    20. Delhidynamo
      • 11 Years

      Walker and Valencia to Mustafi and Verton

        Yes looks v good!

    23. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      No room at the Inn for Costa...

      Is he no longer an option given the form of the other big hitters?

      Ibra, Aguero, Lukaku & Kane all better prospects

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        He just hasn't got it in him to produce big scores.

        Hazard for the same money a far better option

      Ibra, Zaha, Valencia and Valdes for the DGW34... that should be enough right?

      United look so poor going forward; I think Zlatan will disappoint in the weeks to come, I'm shifting this week for Kane
