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.

        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        He'll probably get a haul now 😀
        Glad I benched him this week

      Carroll you t1t....score goal.

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Siggy is due!

    5. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Lukaku, Williams (30)
      Baines, Jagielka (29)
      Vokes (28)

      All very tight for the bonus points.

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        come on Jags!

        1. The Tinkerman
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          It already changed to Jags on 31. Could be anyone's.

      2. Dirty Harry
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Does Lukaku get bps for winning goal or does he miss out due to the own goal?

        1. The Tinkerman
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          I dont know. I doubt anyone gets the bonus as it was an OG

          1. Dirty Harry
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Yeah thats what I would have thought as technically thats the winning goal...

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

        Just changed again haha now on 3

      4. Alnair
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        As an owner I'm hoping he gets bumped down to 1...

        1. The Tinkerman
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Same... His EO is over 100%.

      5. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        OPTA bonus yet to be added to Kaku!

        1. Dirty Harry
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Even if the own goal was technically the winner?

        2. The Tinkerman
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          I doubt anyone gets winning goal bonus, it was an OG

        3. MTPockets
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Didn't get winning goal.

        4. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Justice...

          1. The Tinkerman
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Jagielka (31)
            Lukaku (30)
            Williams (30)
            Baines (29)

            Already changed again... Could be anyones.

        5. The Tinkerman
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Baines attempted assist in 94th min could push him up.

      6. F4L
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Where's Holgate's goal 🙁

        1. Sim Simma
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          In Jag's pocket

      7. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Not sure if I'll get Ibra in for Lukaku now, West Ham just conceded 2 against Sunderland!

        1. ChelseaGuy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Same dilemma

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

          Sunderland was at home, Everton are away to west ham. Kaku could blank

          1. Bartowski
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Yes, West Ham have been tremendous at home...

          2. JÆKS ⭐
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Well there is a chance Lukaku can blank in every game. Think the WHU fixture is not much worse than Burnley and City away combined

        3. fiveyears
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Given Kaku's record against West Ham I don't think its wise

      8. tm245
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Welcome back, Holebas, you beauty.

        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Palace looking safe now

        Probably gonna let Spurs go over them in the 2nd match of the dgw

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

        Sunderland fans leaving the stadium with 7 minutes to go.

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

        So Kane was the correct choice, and I made that choice. Pity the rest of my team is so crap

      13. matiakez
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Selling kaku ahead of West ham looks iffy, with their limp form and kaku's record against them...

        1. Mark-O
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          West Ham can't defend

          1. matiakez
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Yeah exactly.

        2. Dirty Harry
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Surely have to hold Lukaku

      14. Sims
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Imagine if 5 players ended up with 3 baps in the Everton game

        1. L'Aeroplanino
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          everyone's happy

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

        Bryam RC.

        His 3 owners and mom will be disappointed.

      16. timPgoodwin
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Maguire on my bench with 7 points ... Need Brunt to get explosive diarrhoea and Valencia to stay at home.

        1. FPL_Hazards
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Same and vardy

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

        Byram red card.

      18. Mark-O

        Bryan red

      19. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Vardy has been scoring every week since GW26. Do we dare sell him?

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

          Sold this week for Kane

          1. Cok3y5murf
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Glad I didn't. Would've taken a hit.

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

              But Kane has outscored Vardy by 4, so would've been free

              1. Cok3y5murf
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 11 months ago

                Would have also needed to sell Davies.

              2. dark91
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 11 months ago

                This. Even more if you captained Kane cause i doubt anyone would have captained Vardy

        2. dark91
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          I did, for Kane

        3. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Own for when they score, not afterwards. Gotta change at some point. Time for the switch

          1. Cok3y5murf
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Why wouldn't he score now?

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

              Well that's up to you. At the very least he's not in the top 3 highest scorers for GW34 for me. Whether he actually gets returns or not is another question/guess

        4. ChelseaGuy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Got 3 good weeks out of him and sold for Kane(C) this week

      20. Chris_H
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Dodged the Siggy bullet, just a shame I played Pickford over Gomes but meh

      21. aleksios
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Llorente owners what are you doing with him?

        1. L'Aeroplanino
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          selling

      22. F4L
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Swansea are p*ss poor; luckily for them Hull are as well

      23. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Lukaku goal spoiled everything

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

          Yep...I was looking forward to top 10K 44% Lukaku(c) fail...as a Kane(c) at OR 5K...that would've been massive.

          Oh well...still finished up 🙂

          1. The Overthinker
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Same
            I had Kane TC and went almost half my rank up until lukaku scored

        2. vectorman
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Did for me and I have him, because of who assisted too. Sorry folks but bloody frustrating 😀

      24. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Has anyone got a link to Sunderland's 2nt goal?

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

          Nope.

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

        Jaku (Foster)
        Alonso Walker Fernandez (Nyom Funes*)
        Sanchez Siggy King Alli (De Roon)
        Kane Lukaku Llorente

        WC fired up. Who would you keep?

      26. Mark-O
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Kane(c) biggest haul so far

      27. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        NOW I'm happy with (K)ane's 12 🙂

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

        Badly need Aguero to get a hat trick

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

          It will happen

      29. FootballDog
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        quick one....

        should i get rid of sanchez? so i can fund lukaku....

        my other option is to upgrade King to Son ( get cheaper defender ).

        1FT and 1.3ITB available

        current team:

        Jakupovic / Foster

        Holgate / Valencia / Alonso / Olsson / Stephens

        Hazard / Alli / Sanchez / Coutinho / King

        Kane / Ibra / Anichebe

      30. Digital-Real
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        A Carroll goal would be sweet now
