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

      This week was my final straw for him. Got him for Coleman earlier in the season then again over jagielka recently. Killing me

      1. MikeyMitz

        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

  2. The Bandit

    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.

    1. Think
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Still think of kaku Kane ibra frontline

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Aguero, Kane, Ibra for me

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          I'm aiming for Ibra, Gabbiadini and Defoe. 😆

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        For what? Ibra won't lose his 19pts and Lukaku won't get any dgw' 😉

    3. Brap.
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      But does Ibra really have two DGWs

    Anyone know why Valencia hasn't started the last two games? been lucky I've got Yoshida's points both times

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

      Probably rested

    2. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Rested. He needs him for bigger games. Perfect time to rest him

      1. Trae44
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers

  5. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    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
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      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, 3 months ago

        Still got Henessey and Sanchez to play too

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

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

  6. boc610

    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
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I think he's still on pens?

    2. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

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

      1. Think
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months 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, 3 months 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

  7. The Head-Ake
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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

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

    Chillwell for 3 baps

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

  9. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    need vardy redcard second half. And maybe a Lukaku goal

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

      Your need are the opposite of my needs 🙂

    2. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I need a vardy hattrick
      Ive got both Lukaku and vardy but anymore Lukaku goals will ruin the average

  10. TooDifficuIt

    seriously baines !!

  11. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years

    1. Think
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

    2. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

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

    3. Numb
      • 11 Years

  12. asif316uk
    • 15 Years

    Who would u get rid of for one week to get Kane in.

    1. Think
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I m also thinking the same, just trying to find out way to keep ibra & kaku and still get kane

      1. asif316uk
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Currently got aguero and origi wild carding he 37 most likely

  13. Rex Lapis
    • 12 Years

    Baines Siggy Llorente > Holgate T.Carroll Kane for -4?

  14. Individual
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    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
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Stick imo. Was rested

    2. The Head-Ake
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

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

  15. The Head-Ake
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Degrade Pedro for who? Already have Eriksen and Alli

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

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

      1. The Head-Ake
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Hard being a Chelsea fan. Unjustified totally but only non-scoring MF in my team and same scenario for quite a while now

  16. AA33

    Mirallas stealing away Lukaku's 3 baps 🙁

    1. The Head-Ake

      Screw that. Kak's getting more, just sit tight

  17. Chucky
    • 12 Years

    Just 69 points with Sanchez and Hennessey left. Rom Rom and Vardy playing right now.Am i doing ok? 🙁

    A massive middle finger to Valencia and Baines.

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

      Valencia & Walker

      1. Think
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I think cheap defenders are now way to go, may be keep this in mind while WC

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

    Quick need help

    15.4 ITB what 3 defenders would you get on WC? Already have Yoshi and Holgate

    1. Think
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Arsenal defender

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years

        Ergh. No way!

    2. F4L

      Gibson Valencia bavies

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Clichy/Mustafi, Vertonghen, Stephens

  20. sunzip14

    Lukaku goal, Holgate assist. That much would be fine for me.

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      +1

  21. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    With a scoreline of 3-2 I was hoping for a little more points as a Lukaku and Vardy owner.

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

    how does Eriksen Siggy Barnes ➡ 4.2 mid Zaha Kane for a -8 sound?

    1. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      not great

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

        I need to shift Eriksen to free up a Spurs lot fwiw

        1. Annie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Is there nobody else?

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

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

    2. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Don't look over your shoulder I'm right behind you....Baines goal & assist and you're sunk 😀

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

        haha, never happening. Would be funny if Kaku stepped up to take a pen if Eve got one as well

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

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Because they were all playing at home

      1. Jam0sh
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

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