With the Spurs stroll providing a healthy set of early returns, we now roll on with a collection of five afternoon kick-offs.

Harry Kane’s double figure return puts the onus on Romelu Lukaku to match or even better his Golden Boot rival.

The Everton striker will face a Burnley today, having scored in seven successive Goodison Park matches. He’s backed by 892,000+ (20.2%) with the captaincy – the top pick in Gameweek 33 – including 60 of the top 100 Fantasy Premier League managers.

Elsewhere, the Fantasy interest is somewhat limited, although Crystal Palace’s Selhurst Park meeting with Leicester City offers us another opportunity to scout their assets ahead of the Gameweek 34 double. Wilfried Zaha is perhaps the key target on show – he’s been brought in by 188,000 ahead of today’s clash, second only to Kane.

Gylfi Sigurdsson has another chance to halt his alarming decline when Swansea City travel to Watford. Surely a must-win clash for the Swans, Sigurdsson will be seeking his first return for four Gameweeks having lost 121,000+ owners this week, only Chelsea’s Diego Costa has suffered greater sales.

Finally, Stoke City take on Hull City at the bet365 stadium in a fixture which is unlikely to impact our tallies, while Sunderland host West Ham at the Stadium of Light, with Jermain Defoe seeking to re-ignite his goalscoring form and Andy Carroll back to lead the line for the Hammers.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Remember earlier those people who said 12 points for Kane was a fail, how about 2 points (so far) for a troll?

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      12 was never a fail.

    2. Sif

      Ironically I think it was mostly Kane cappers bemoaning it.

      We would be "punished" they said 😀

    Sigurdsson is realy good player!

    1. Grounderz
      • 14 Years

    2. Alnair

    3. Business Cat

    Does anyone do both team to score lonly bets ? It's been good the last 2 weeks won 300 last week and being offered 100 to cash out now

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Just put some money on Swans to not score just to cover it.

      1. Ryan Naysmith
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah good idea

    The negativity on here today is off the scale

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Standard

    2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I know. I tend not to come on during games because of it. Dead Zone during the week is nice

    3. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      No - pretty normal

    4. TOPCAT1960
      • 9 Years

      Not too many clean sheets is a great leveller 🙂

      FPL fans don't enjoy watching football

    Valencia in my team, Maguire 1st sub.
    I'd love to see Valencia rested!

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I'm with you. Surely Mourinho rests him for Europa!

      1. jam
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Surely!

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I put Yoshida 1st bench this week specifically because of this! 😉

  11. Grounderz
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    So, 20.7% of fantasy managers captaining Lukaku. If Lukaku blanks today, should be a great rank jump for those Kane captainers.

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      My rival captained Lukaku, I captained Kane. We're both on 30. That's how bad the rest of my team is!

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        You get +6 Baps

      2. Grounderz
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Kane provides the GW balance for your team. Else you would have fallen hard on ranks! Start fixing the rest of your team. Kane can't carry them all week in and week out.

    Lukaku u pathetic excuse for a footballer

    1. Bleach †

    2. Magic Bean

    3. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Wow! Maybe you're just a pathetic excuse of a fantasy player.

    4. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      You didn't captain him surely?

  13. Garfield1001

    • 12 Years

    Robles I will never forget this

  21. Mark-O

  23. twoplustwo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Kane hit and C looks OK for the time being

    1. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      OK is an understatement

  24. HonestBlatter
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Kaku please...

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

    At this point, I just want Lukaku to score for the points, does nothing to my rank considering almost everyone in my ML capped him.

    1. Rover
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      This!

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      You don't want him to score then, surely?

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Unless you've captained him?

      2. Ravager
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Nah, I have him and captained. Just saying it'll even out for me personally.

  26. diesel001

    Who is Pep going to bench today?

    1. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
