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.

    That throw from Fuchs.

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Remember when I said McAuley over Fuchs would bite me.

      Arghhhh!

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 20 days ago

        Ouch.

        1. Fred54
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 20 days ago

          My fault for being too meticulous. Should have started Fuchs over McAuley and left it too the Gods if Fuchs was rested.

          Just hope he doesn't keep a CS that would be ridiculous.

  4. Rainer

    Very questionable WC from Knut! He's done if Kaku blanks.

    1. Sims
      • 9 Years

      Who is knut and more importantly why should we care

      pogba for the dw any1? can see him going 20+

      1. Sims
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 20 days ago

        He takes 6 weeks to score 20 points why would he score 20 in 2 games all of a sudden?

        1. zizoo10
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 20 days ago

          because he's "due"

        2. fedolefan
          • 11 Years

          So, I see you seem to thing everyone's forgotten about your Coutinho posts? Where do we send humble pie?

          1. Sims
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 20 days ago

            Those 6-7 couitnho points hurt me a lot

            Wait no king outscored him a few hours later

            1. fedolefan
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 20 days ago

              It's not about how many points hurt you. Your rubbish opinions were fairly well exposed there.

              1. Sims
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 20 days ago

                Rubbish opinions like telling people to get hazard last week too? U might remember that because u seem to remember my posts

                Not everything u say turns out well for u so pipe down Mr never been wrong before

        High risk..but yea with that comes high reward

      4. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 20 days ago

        Yep.i'm not expecting much more than 4-6 pts but it'll be good to have an extra player.

      5. Barry Woj
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 20 days ago

        Not an outrageous punt since he's definitely capable of points and more likely than most to play both games. One to consider!

    5. Jafooli

      Absolutely gutted! Sold Capoue in GW13 and he's gone on and scored 1 and assisted 1.

      1. ChelseaGuy

    7. Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Is Zaha worth a hit for the DGW? Or should I just get Ibra on a free?

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 20 days ago

        I have to get zaha to fund ibra for a hit.
        I think it is worth it getting Zaha even with difficult fixtures the odds are he might get something over the two games

      2. Sims
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 20 days ago

        Get both. Zaha has a great fixture after the dgw too so it's a game game investment. U dig?

      3. ChelseaGuy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 20 days ago

        He's worth it
        But who are you getting him for?

    8. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…

      7. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 20 days ago

        Happy about 2 for Son, but Eriksen getting 1 is annoying.

      8. MTPockets
          9 years, 20 days ago

          Hmmm could have just chucked Alli in there as well.

          Calling the second highest scorer in FPL this season a troll. LOL.

          1. GREEN IS GOOD
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 20 days ago

            Form is temporary, class is permanent.

            He's been lucky so far. 2 points per game from now on.

            You heard it here first 😉

          2. GREEN IS GOOD
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            What did I tell you? 2 points per game, regular as clockwork.
