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.

    • Ridcully
      • 9 Years

        Or just benching decisions generally.

      8 years, 11 months ago

      I don't understand why MH wants Berahino

    • nkhoughton
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I have Crouch on the bench 🙁

    • tm245

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

    • ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years

      Chance of Mourinho resting Valencia v Chelsea?

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

        You really don't want him to play do you

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

          Maguire first on bench. Can't see Valencia doing much if he plays.

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

      3. Jay_
          8 years, 11 months ago

          City lose later and I reckon he plays

        • *sigh*
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

        • SAY SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          I'd reckon he'll play tomorrow, and against Anderlecht, then benched against Burnley then start against City.
