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.

  11. Black Panther
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Turns out I should've played de Roon (AOA) instead of Robertson.

    1. Az
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Robertsons 5 is still pretty good, who knows what a future AoA may bring.

  12. Sess!

    rough with the smooth:

    Rough: everything except not owning Negredo
    Smooth: Not owning Negredo

  17. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Pretty much have to decide...
    1) Lukaku still essential? (would free up money ITB)
    2) Load up on DGW players (would have to take a few hits over next couple weeks)

  18. Feloh

        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ha this game is meaningless we've been as hopeless as you lot for a while. I'm stuck at work and would normally be gutted to miss the game but I'm not bothered at all lol

  25. Az

    Who do you want to see down next year?

    Boro
    Sunderland
    Burnley for me (mainly because I've never owned Heaton and he has punished me profusely...)

    1. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Boro and Sunderland are going this year.

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

      Top 2 plus Hull

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years

      Swansea and Sigurdsson to move to a better PL team

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

      Sunderland, Boro & Swansea.

      Get Siggy to a decent team.

    5. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Born for me Defoe does not deserve to be relegated

    6. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Boro, Sunderland, Swansea, Burnley, Stoke, WBA, Palace

      Get Newcastle, Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday, Celtic and Rangers in at a minimum.

    7. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years

      Swansea

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

      Boro Sunderland and Swansea.

      Huge Llorente and Siggy fan, would love them to stay up just for those two, but the way that club has been run in recent years has been catastrophic decision after catastrophic decision. Nothing against Clement, think he's showed he is capable, but if they got what was coming to them I really wouldn't shed a tear.

  26. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
