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

    does brunt and costa to barragan and kane (c) make sense here with 2 ft's?

    Pickford,

    Robertson, Davies, Fernandez,

    Sanchez, Alli, Siggy, Tadic,

    Costa, Kaku, Ibra

    Foster, Brunt, Fletcher, Amat

    1. Astronautovic
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Want to loose brunt
      Do u think barragan is a good option?

    2. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Exact transfer I've done. Both of them.

      Do it.

  5. karvs155
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Costa to:
    A) Kane (for cap)
    B) Ibra (dgw 34)
    (Have only Alli from spurs)

    1. Olivier Bernards watch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. Astronautovic
      • 10 Years

  6. Alan_T

    What are the best defender options for 5.5?

    Got Spurs, Utd and Chelsea covered and don't fancy Boro as they need to attack and won't be as defensive

    1. Astronautovic
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      I have the situation just without united. Maybe stones?
      Would u get an arsenal defenser if u could?

    2. Astronautovic
      • 10 Years

    Any early thoughts on this?

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

      Heaton, Robertson, Carroll, Amat on the bench.

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Aguero to kane will be popular

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

        Was thinking about it. Not sold yet.

  10. Lav
    • 9 Years

    Wait for Sanchez on WC due to possible drop?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      Of course.

    2. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  13. Torres76
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Which players are you getting for GW34?

    1. Boro - Valdez
    2. Palace - Benteke or Zaha
    3. United - Ibra, Bailly

    I'm not really convinced by the Palace fixtures

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

      Probably Ibra not sure after that.

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

      Did WC this week
      Valdes, Gibson, Bailly
      Maybe ibra just for 34

    Heaton/Grant
    Barragan-Brunt-Davies-Mawson-F.Mori*
    Alli-King-Zaha-Siggy-Son
    Lukaku-Kun-Vardy

    Kane or Zlatan in for Vardy?

    Vardy and Son to Kane and 5,9 (maybe Redmond)?

  15. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    9 years, 2 days ago

    Why are people thinking they need to sell Valencia.

    Valencia needed a rest and he got one.

    It's not just about games it's about length of time. He missed two games because they were so close. If the games weeks were one per weekend as usual he would likely have just missed the one and everyone would be happy as they would be sure he would then play the majority (which is what I think will now happen) so it's shouldn't make him a must sell.

    Wether Jose prioritises they EL or not, he will still be trying to get the best finish possible in the league.

    Just watched a video compilation of goals against former clubs. David Luiz celebrated scoring for PSG against Chelsea like a madman. A bit awkward if you look back at it now. 🙂

  17. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Lord! Has Kane already gone up in price?

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

      Yup, was downgraded from a red to a yellow flag before having the flag removed so wasn't price locked.

  18. drughi
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    Is kun>kane really a good transfer ? Kane just back and Aguero keeps scoring

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

      Potentially.

    2. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Wouldn't worry about the just back part but certainly don't think it's an easy decision ditching a striker who's just scored 5 in last 6 games. It's my only option if I want kane this week tho. Undecided.

      1. drughi
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 days ago

        Yes I'm very undecided

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

      Difficult fixtures and a different role for Agüero this season, Kane looked great in the minutes he got against Watford.

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

    Start
    A) Sane
    or B) Origi

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

    Good idea to save FT?

    Frontline:

    King - Sanchez - Eriksen - Alli - Siggy
    Ibra - Lukaku- Negredo

    1.5 ITB

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

      Yup, I see nothing pressing or rather I can't think of any options that would sigficantly enhance your team. Ibra to Kane is an option though

  21. 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??

    6. Sess!

      Hopefully he'll get 16 and I can hit 100 points

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

        I wouldn't mind that 🙂 He's a great differential for me vs my rival and him blanking twice has cost me.

  23. Astronautovic

    When is PVA fit?

  24. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    63 points and red arrow! I'm ranked 200k, tough season

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

      as long as you do well in your mini leagues imo the overall rank doesn't matter

  25. Kane-harry Island
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 days ago

    RP
    Score at 53 with Sanchez yet to play and 9 points to come off the bench. OR from previous gw was 689k. Is my 8 green arrows run about to end?

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

      Let's hope not. Sanchez for the rescue!

    2. joersherman

      Green I reckon

  26. Torres76

    Which three strikers are you going with for this Gameweek?

    1. Lukaku
    2. Kane
    3. Aguero
    4. Ibra
    5. Vardy
