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.

      People being a bit hasty dissing Lukaku sellers. I sold him last week for Ibra who has returned me 19pts and has two dgws to Lukaku's none. No regrets here.

          I played 343, Walker & Valencia didn't play....

          and I have both King & Yoshida on the bench.

          Plus I Sold Son for Sane, how has your weekend been?

          1. The Head-Ake

            Yoshida on bench and on 60 points right now. Excluding bonuses. Pretty good but not like you

            1. The Head-Ake
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 2 days ago

              Still got Henessey and Sanchez to play too

            Robertson and Chambers in for Valencia and Walker..
            And 0 points for Baines...

        • boc610
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 2 days ago

          curious to know what was baines was doing before people decided to buy him?

          we knew he wasn't on pens or free kicks anymore so..

          1. The Rock
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 2 days ago

            I think he's still on pens?

          2. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 2 days ago

            He is on pens. I had him for that week of baines Coleman. I did a str8 swap the week after

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

              I just went for him for penalties and then double up with Coleman, unfortunately Coleman got injured otherwise I was planning to transfer out him.

          3. ZimZalabim
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 2 days ago

            he is on pens unless the game is won then lukaku can take them. He got a lot of solid returns just before coleman exploded into form, hes tailed off now with the defence is disarray. was a solid pick for jan till march

        • The Head-Ake
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 days ago

          Costa has gotten good points and Kaku has scored a goal. Question is :

          Is Kane really needed or should I just degrade Costa for Ibra for DGW? WC in GW35

            Ive got both Lukaku and vardy but anymore Lukaku goals will ruin the average

          Just catching up. Valencia a bit of an issue for me now, dk whether to stick or twist. Fortuitous 9 pts off the bench for Yoshi.

          What are people doing with Tony? Keep or sell?

          1. PvA
            • 9 Years

            Stick imo. Was rested

            • 9 Years
            9 years, 2 days ago

            He's just rested for the Europa game. I'd keep till DGW if he plays next game against Chelsea

        • The Head-Ake
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 days ago

          Degrade Pedro for who? Already have Eriksen and Alli

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 2 days ago

            He may not have returned fantasy points, but that doesn't justify degrading the poor lad.

                    not really, and I want Kane bigtime. I think Zaha is better than Siggy anyways

                Not worth all the funds tied in to him. Happy to be rid for Bavies.

              Why did I play Holgate and Brunt over Yoshida can't get over that decision

                Because they were all playing at home

                  Yep. Probably Holgate benching could have been justified with Everton missing couple of guys from their backline
