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.

    Remember when Mark was going to captain Kane

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He was never going to captain Kane.

      1. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He weighed up Benteke and Kane, made the right choice in the end

  3. Paganoi

    Gtfo of my team, Negredo.

  4. Yank Revolution

      1. KingNidge
        • 10 Years

    2. NATSTER
      • 15 Years

      Worst captain ever.

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

      In my league the leader has Barragan... Having said that I changed from Tekkers to Negredo in the last minutes...oh well

  6. Sess!

    I feel for you negredo captainers but I'm sorry it was an awful decision to even have him in your team, let alone captain him!

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yep

    2. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Never even considered him for the dgw

    3. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Absolutely, was no contest between him and Benteke.

    4. FrankieTheGent

      9 years, 1 month ago

      you waited until he did nothing to post that
      round of applause
      Do you have anybody in your team who scored 2 points or ever had?
      If so those were all poor decisions by you

      1. L S P
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        exactly

    5. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Come on guys. Everyone knew De Roon was the Boro player to have in your team 😉

    6. vectorman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      So there was no logic in bringing him against the two current leakiest defences?..

      1. L S P
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        hindsight is a jerk

    Negredo captain is my worst FPL decision, ever!

    1. MTPockets
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I would have captained Kane otherwise, so...

        9 years, 1 month ago

        I've got a big bit of crispy chile chicken stuck between my back teeth which is irritating me less than Capt NegreDOH. Apparently the chicken was always more likely to score too; I'm just an idiot.
