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.

      8 years, 11 months ago

      Sicky

    2. Digital-Real

      Arnie

    3. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Zaha or Townsend

    4. Dobswell55
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I'm thinking Son

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

      Walcott last week

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

    7. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

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

      No brainer to convert him to a DGW'er...probably Zaha or Townsend

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

  5. Vlad Tepes
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Zaha or Townsend??

    1. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I watched the game and Townsend MOTM today imo, but yes Zaha maybe more long term best out of them until end of season.

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

    Sunderland won't come back up again in a while. Sorry Sunderland fans but Moyes is incompetent.

    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Would you do Siggy to:

    A) Townsend for dgw (I have Zaha and WC for gw35)
    B) Alli (I have Eriksen) and McAuley to Fabio
    C) Save Siggy and just do McAuley to Gibson

  24. KeepCalm
    • 12 Years

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

    Whatever people want to say about Kaku, he's been a reliable captain choice all season. He gets the armband next Gameweek too for me.

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

      Hahaha that's a poor decision

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

        Have you seen his record vs West Ham?

    2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      even if Koeman says he's dropped?

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

        Smarty pants

    townsend and cabaye look better picks than zaha it must be said

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

      Leaning towards Siggy -> Townsend rather than Siggy -> Zaha for next week currently

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

      bit of a lottery in that Palace attack, having said that, Townsend did well this time last season.

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

    RP:

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

    If you had to WC this bunch. Who would you keep?

  30. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Siggy+Costa --> Townsend/Zaha+Ibra for free? I can't get Kane since I already own Eriksen, Alli and Davies.
