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.

      No, 2 DGW's forthcoming

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

          And there's Kane back

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

      yeah looking at the following for -4

      Sanchez to Zaha
      Carroll to Kane
      Vardy to Lukaku

    3. George James
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

    4. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      _0_

    5. WVA
      • 9 Years

    6. Differentiator
      • 10 Years

    7. ameenkw

    8. Fred54
      • 11 Years

  4. VFORVANDETA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Siggy Kun>Kane Coutinho(-4)?

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yes if other Strikers and Mids are strong

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

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

  5. CABAYE4
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

      Townsend

      1. CABAYE4
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Too expensive sadly, same for Zaha.

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      King still at that price?

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

        5.9

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

      Where is Zaha's price?

    4. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Jesse Lingard is exactly 5.6m

    5. ameenkw
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

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

  6. George James
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

      Fatigue.

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

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

    3. Syd.
      • 17 Years

      Scout Tweets

      Should be fit for Thursday

    4. ameenkw
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      injury

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

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

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Kane or Lukaku.

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

      Kane

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

      Lukaku, more will have him

    4. ameenkw
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

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

  8. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts? Feel like a lot of deadwood is gone

    Tadic, Negredo, Walker and Capoue



    Eriksen, Zaha, Mustafi and Anichibe

    Pickford (Valdes)
    Alonso, Valencia, Mustafi (Yoshida, Kone)
    Sanchez, Alli, Eriksen, Siggy, Zaha
    Ibra, Lukaku (Ani)

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

    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, 3 months ago

      I'm keeping Lukaku for wham

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

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

  10. 1Banksy

    Valdez,Hennessey
    Alonso, McAulley, Baines, Holebas, Chambers
    Sanchez, Erikson, Firmz, Lanzini, King
    Ibra, Lukaku, Benteke
    Need Alli to protect my lead in my ML
    A) Lanzini and Firmz to Zaha and Alli (-4)
    B) McAulley to Gibson/Davis
    C) McAulley and Firmz to Holgate and Alli
    D) Other

    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, 3 months ago

      Knut has lost his magic

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

        Will do well to finish top 50 probably.

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

      Top 2 didn't do too well this week

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

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

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

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

  12. purple.emu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

      Kane could of easily scored a couple yesterday

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

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

    3. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months 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, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

      Bournemouth... that is why

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        we said the same about HUL and BUR

    6. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

      Nah you don't need just get son in!

  13. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

      Bavies > yoshi, ibra > kane

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

    GW rank updated

  15. Lav
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      And instead those points come in after tomorrow

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

      Would be red with no autosubs.

      1. Lav

        What a shame 🙁

  16. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years

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

      A

  17. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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?

  18. Carcetti
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Hey guys..

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

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years

      yoshidaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

        Yeah...that 🙂

    2. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months 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, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

      Cheers

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

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

  19. PvA

  20. DeadStarComing

    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
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      nope, happy with Kane cap

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months 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.

  21. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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...

  22. ameenkw
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I would

  23. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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

  24. Delhidynamo
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Walker and Valencia to Mustafi and Verton

  25. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    rank, around 85k, can I reach top 30k?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No

      1. F4L

        🙁

    2. PvA

      Yes

    3. Syd.
      • 17 Years

      If you still have your chips then the answer is yes

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        got BB, blew TC on Kun

    4. KUNingas

      Surely

    5. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Definitely

  26. Ballistics
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    For -4

    Costa Walker Siggy to
    Kane Gibson Hazard?

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

      Yes looks v good!

  27. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

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

    2. Ballistics
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I want him out for Kane or Ibra

    3. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Hazard for the same money a far better option

  28. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

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

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

      Yeah probs I've got Benteke too and will be getting chambers if fit

  29. KUNingas

    Play 2
    A) Valencia (CHE)
    B) Alonso (mun)
    C) Holebas (SWA)
    D) Anichebe (WHU)

  30. F4L

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

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

      It's been like that all season but he keeps scoring
