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.

    The best defence this season vs the best defence in recent weeks.

    Why didn't I think about that before.

    1. Syd.

      Big Sam

      I have Vert and Hennessey. This will end 1-1

    3. Bedknobs and Boomsticks
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      And that's the kind of logic that leads to buying Negredo not Benteke

    VW Booked

    1. Team Cruel

  5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Walcott is completely clueless

  6. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Spurs will get a Jammy penalty

    1. Pieterke30
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah they sure will

    2. Sjaugen
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      No, they are playing away

  7. pakornk
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Why are Boro so crap? I mean it's no wonder that they're going down. Stupid of me captaining Negredo.

    1. 3hoursleep
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I too was under the impression that Boro simply HAVE to score to survive, also Capt Negredo. So far worth a kick in the Gooch. You're not alone.

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Is there any point whatsoever to posting that Eriksen is about to take a corner ?

      1. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Davies took it, so yeah

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          You may as well post that you're about to have a cup of tea it's that irrelevant
