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

    Sorry for repost

    Ditch son or walker to get Kane in!

    1. Torres76

      Walker

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 9 Years

        Thanks, best replacement?

        1. Torres76
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Yoshida or Gibson

  8. Sims
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    7.6k now

    Need to stay above 8k for a green arrow.

    Possible with Walcott and 1 auto sub point?

    Are any players going up in price?

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Doesn't look like any are due to go up but Kane went up last despite being flagged

      Double standards from FPL again

      1. Pariße
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Kane went up because he went from red to yelow to no flag, had there not been a yellow flag, he would've been protected.

  10. Astronautovic
    • 10 Years

    Will PVA play tomorrow?

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Doubt it

      1. Astronautovic
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        When will he be fit?

        1. Sess!
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Allardyce said making good progress. Could be back for gw33, should def be back for the dgw you'd think.

          1. Astronautovic
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Need someone for brunt. Would u recommend him for next week or should i get someone different?

  11. WrightnBright
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Walcott worth a cheeky punt to replace Siggy?
    2 dgw to come but I realise could be very hit n miss!
    Have Alexis already

    1. Astronautovic
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I had this idea too earlier

      1. Astronautovic
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Do u think siggy will get points against watford?

        1. WrightnBright
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Probably if I sell him! But lost patience with him now plus as a Palace fan I REALLY don't won't to be cheering him on!

          1. Astronautovic
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            My plan was to get zaha instead of him. But as mane got injured i got zaha on for him. Lost patience already too and as an arsenal fan i would be happy if walcott and sanchez score both

    2. Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      yay

  12. martyhan
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Would it be worth a wildcard to this team? Been messing around with it all day and got this. I'm chasing in mini league .

    Valdes jaku
    Barragan Bailly vertogen holgate Yoshida
    Hazard sane de roon Alli Sanchez
    Ibra Kane lukaku

    My current team is
    Heaton jaku
    Dann jones brunt Alonso Valencia
    Sanchez de roon Alli Erickson siggy
    Vardy lukaku costa

  13. The Bandit
    • 15 Years

    Did Ricky Fowler used to be in Eastenders? Certainly should have been 🙂

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      That is a really bad Dad type joke

  14. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 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.

    Thoughts??

  15. jamie1972
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Any chance of Kane rising again tonight?

    Trying to hold past the Arsenal game to make the call on how to get him..

    1. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Would rise midweek now

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      No chance he will rise tonight.

    3. Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Lots buying him today... but should hold as he rose only yesterday...

  17. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    If you had Eriksen, Son and Davies, would you do Kun and Davis to Kane and Yoshida/Boro defender for free?

    1. Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      yes if it is for free... I did it for a hit though as I believe in Kane

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Triple Spurs attack. Hopefully will come good. Cheers

    2. We Will Klopp you

    My team next week will be:
    Foster (Heaton)
    Alonso Holebas Baines (Brunt Lovren)
    Sanchez Siggy Alli Courtinho (King)
    Lukaku (c) Deeney Benteke

    1FT 0.2M in bank.

    What would you so? I'm thinking:
    A)Siggy to Zaha
    B)Foster to Hennesy
    C)Save FT

  19. Sess!
    • 15 Years

    People with de roon. Are you a) playing him in the dgw and b) if you are, who drops out of your team?

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I don't own he but if I did I'd bench him. 2 + 2 = 4. I'm sure you've got other attackers that you think would get you more than 4 points.

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Could be a could time to roll the AXA

          If you've got it then yeah I'd use it in that case. As good a time as any.

      Yes. AOA.

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah qad just thinking that. Was going to save for gw38 defences see usually already on beach but this might be wiser time.

        1. Jigger & Pony
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Indeed. Lots of rotation in 38.

    Pickford (heaton)
    Holebas Pieters Baines (valencia, amat)
    Firmino Sanchez Eriksen Zaha Siggy

    2 ft, 0.0 itb. Any advice on what to do ? I'm lost.

    A. Aguero and heaton > Kane and valdes

    People need to think rationally. No need to bring Kane in if u don't have Ibra. Focus on the dgw

    Do u understand what I'm saying to you right now?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I don't agree with this, but to each their own.

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I don't own Ibra and I'm bringing in Kane. I'm not entirely sure if I will be bringing Ibra in at all, still have to decide about that

    3. Epic Fail

      Link or it didn't happen 😛

  25. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Those waiting for a week or two before DGW 37 to wildcard, aren't you a little bit wary that by then the season might 'escape' you? I remember last seasons DGW 34 which was full with rotation and options not playing 2 full games, is it worth waiting that long and it may not pull off?

    Just asking because I'm currently on the fence about wildcarding or not. Not doing horribly in my MLs, currently chasing by a few points. Just trying to figure out if it'll be more beneficial to switch things up now or wait like I did last year.

    1. Big_Bear
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I'm WC 35 and trying to pick best players for final 4 GW. Also by GW37 you'll have 2FT if you roll

      1. Ravager
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Good point, just feel like a lot can happen in these 3 weeks. Could be the difference between me getting a solid lead in my ML.

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I wildcarded GW30 and have no regrets. Leaving it until GW37 doesn't optimise it's use IMO. I'm still confident that I will get as good a bench boost score as other with a wildcard.

      1. Ravager
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        That's what I'm thinking. Last season I only had success with the WC for the doubles strategy because I used TC in 34 with Sanchez. When I used bench boost, was more or less a waste regardless..

        1. Smurf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          In my opinion it's easy to know the majority of players we will want for GW37 and most of them are great options now too:

          Sanchez
          Ali
          Kane
          Eriksen
          Hazard
          Sane
          Sterling
          Alonso

          and plenty more.

          1. Smurf
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            I already have all of the above expect Hazard and Sterling and will get one of those before GW37. And I'm happy to have them all leading up to then too.

            1. Ravager
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              That's also pretty sound thinking. I appreciate the replies. Thanks!

    Best walker replacement? Current def is baines Valencia holgate Nyom

    1. Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I went with Gibson for the DGW34

  27. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Is the Arsenal DGW more likely to be in gw 35 or 36?

  28. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone getting Hennessey as GK for DGW? Has got nice fixtures in GW33 and GW35 too.

    1. Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I got Valdes... CPL has not such good fixtures

    2. Astronautovic
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Idk which is the better combo
      Hennessey and barragan or valdes and pva

      1. Pariße
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Valdes and PVA definitely

  29. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Looking ahead how about these moves for a -4?

    Origi + Son + Chambers > Ibra + King + Gibson

    *will give me 3 DGWers

    Team;
    Heaton
    Valencia* Alonso Gibson*
    Sanchez Alli King Siggy
    Kane Lukaku Ibra*

    Subs; Jaku Robertson Yoshida TCarroll

    £0.4ITB

  30. Weasel51
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Heaton Pickford
    Alonso Pieters Walker Holgate Valencia
    Alli Sanchez Sterling Siggy Leko
    Carroll Vardy Lukaku

    Gw33: valencia + Vardy >> Barragan + Kane with 2 FT's.

    Gw34 Sterling + Kane >> Ibra + King -4

    Good moves?
