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.

  15. Guvnor
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    C'mon spurs. Looose! Give us back that 7 point lead 😀

  16. Spg76

    The Negredo(c) will cost people their mini leagues. Massive fail

    1. dogtanion
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Really? 4 point captain is hardly horrific

      1. Spg76
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        It's the timing though. The run in. It's also a waste of a transfer and then you got to transfer him out. Disaster

        1. dogtanion
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Unsuccessful and annoying..yes. but would have been a disaster if he'd got yellow cards or not made 60 mins. 4 clean points is never terrible when only Benteke has scored heavy. But yeah he's most certainly gone and never coming back !

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Captaining Lukaku or Kane not really working out much better, though.

    3. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Plenty more would've captained Lukaku, Kane, Sanchez, Zaha to no avail

    4. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I'd say that a Benteke captain will win people mini leagues.

      1. Spg76
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        True

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

      Indeed, that Negredo (C) was quite some bandwagon

  17. Chenku╰☆╮
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Townsend score a goal and make this exciting

  18. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
