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

      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

    Imagine if Kasper Schmeichel's son became a premier league winning goalkeeper

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      We need this to happen!

      1. *sigh*
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        How much would he cost? Kidnapped at birth. We could make a movie!

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Will probably happen before Liverpool win it.

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

    My defense is

    Alonso Fuchs Walker Valencia Amat

    All of the last 4 didn't start this GW. So I am fielding only 9 players this week.

    A) will Fuchs be rested again next week for UCL
    B) will Valencia and Walker start next week?

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

      Ouch.. Maybe need to downgrade walker or fuchs to Gibson or Davies

  13. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    At this rate my Baines auto sub will get less pts than my Valencia.

  14. Mark-O
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

      1. Hurricane Gilbert
        • 10 Years
