The extended Gameweek 34 continues with a big night that delivers three hugely anticipated matches.

There could barely be more Fantasy interest across the trio of encounters, with a scattering of key assets in action.

Firstly, Middlesbrough’s Alvaro Negredo, signed by 201,000 and backed by an improbable 155,000 (3.5%), will bid to improve on a dismal 2-point return from his first fixture when he faces Sunderland at the Riverside Stadium. A crunch encounter for both teams, there will also be keen interest in the Boro defence with Ben Gibson signed by 118,000+ ahead of Saturday’s deadline.

Crystal Palace’s Christian Benteke was undoubtedly the weekend’s star performer with a brace at Anfield to provide his 506,000+ ownership with a 12-point return. Backed by 96,000 (2.1%) with the armband, he will look to build on that return in tonight’s encounter with Spurs.

But the title-challenging visitors will boast their own cast of key figures, with Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen supported by an army of Fantasy owners. Kane is himself backed by 244,000 with the GW34 captaincy.

Finally, at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal will host Leicester City as they bid to revive their top four ambitions having navigated to the FA Cup Final at the weekend.

The big news from north London is that Alexis Sanchez may just be restored to the central striker role, with both Danny Welbeck and Olivier Giroud benched – Theo Walcott comes in and could also be a contender for that position if Wenger retains the 3-4-2-1 system.

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

    Is JWard even on the pitch? For a guy who has allegedly played almost every minute this season he sure is invisible.

    let's be honest for once here, how many of you have Adana traore on your teams????

  17. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    How is it everybody can see Sanchez is Arsenal's biggest goal threat..... except the man choosing the teams? I really want to get rid for Hazard but I have been keeping him for the DGW next week so can hardly do it now. So frustrating!

  18. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

  19. tambourineman

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nope

  23. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Very cruel on the casuals who got Sakho in, not knowing he couldn't play vs Liverpool, and him going off before 60 😛

  24. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Why do I even have Sanchez.

  25. Magic Bean
    • 10 Years

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years

          correct

  26. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sanchez to Hazard is becoming slightly tempting

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Why not both?

    2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      was going to get both............might not bother any more

    3. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      The double forces to keep surely.

  27. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa

  28. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So a Benteke(C) was the best move after all

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago
