The second instalment to Sunday’s slice of Premier League action brings Gameweek 3 to a close with matches at Anfield and Wembley Stadium.

The attention of Fantasy managers will be pulled in different directions, with key assets on show in both contests.

After the “failings” of Romelu Lukaku, Paul Pogba and Sergio Aguero on Saturday, we now look to see if Harry Kane can step up.

Kane is backed 741,000+ (16.1%) ahead of the “home” encounter with Burnley as he bids to end a run of two single point returns and score his first competitive career goal in August.

Should he succeed, it would doubtless have a major impact on rankings and transfer activity over the international break.

Equally, events at Anfield could have a major effect on our thinking leading up to Gameweek 4.

Liverpool boast an array of attacking talent, including the electric Sadio Mane, who lines up in tandem with the in-form Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah.

But Arsenal have their own riches on show, with all eyes on the performance of Alexis Sanchez.

He returns to the Gunners’ line-up as Alexandre Lacazette suprisingly drops to the bench as Danny Welbeck leads the attack in a Arsenal’s 3-4-2-1.

Like Kane, should Sanchez convince and return points this afternoon, the impact on the FPL market would be substantial.

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

    Sean Dyche playing the old 10-0-0 formation.

      Did no one else see this coming?

      Pioneered by Jose Mourinho and Tony Pulis

        Two managers who are good at getting the best out of the resources they have available.

      All it takes is 1 goal for the flood gates to open

    Wildcard time I'm afraid.

    1. Bushido
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Same

      1. DR0GBA

        Same same

    Chill people Spurs don't look great but if you keep Kane for captain reason alone throughout season it will work out.

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Ok

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Having said that o hope he goes nuts and I get a 70 + GW 🙂

    Keeping faith in kane has to be one of my worst decisions in FPL during the many years I have played it

    1. DantheManinaPan
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      no it doesn't - it isn't a bad decision on your part. You've been unlucky

    2. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Don't say that just yet. 45 minutes to go.

    3. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Lol

    4. Live Lad
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      No. Not a bad decision.

  5. Holmes
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Kane(c) fail, hehe! 😛

    Not sure where his shots are going, row Z?

    1. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      He's not had one decent shot. Spurs are playing so slow right now.

  6. A Betting Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Could achieve a rare feat this GW, all DEFs and MIDs getting 3+ points, front 3 not even reached that between them yet.

    6 6 7
    3 5 6 3
    1 0 1

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Oh yeah defenders don't keep CS at start of the season is what everyone said.
      Getting close to 10 CS on average over first 3 GWs

  7. super zlatan
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Firmino in the heartbeat of everything for Liverpool

  8. thomashl
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Seriously considering upgrading Salah to Mane. He's just so much more involved

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Good move imo

      1. thomashl
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        For a hit even?
        Almost serious...

  9. Dragon Arcana
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Mane is just a better player than Salah. Season keeper and worth the extra.

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Looks like it. Mane can make a goal out of nothing, whereas it seems like Salah's need to be put on a plate for him.

      1. Dragon Arcana
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Even then he'll smash it at the keeper.

      2. thomashl
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Yes. Totally agree. Almost considering upgrading him for a hit, to avoid price rises...

  10. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Why do I have Salad in my team? He's so useless.

    1. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      +1

    2. sunzip14
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      not useless actually. Should score if not taken off!

    3. evilfish
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Salad's just a side that accompanies the Mané.

    4. King Sheep
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I'm keeping faith

    5. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      He gets on good positions but just can't finish, he will have his day like in GW1

    6. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      You don't win friends with Salad

  11. Speédy
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Could be lots of Kane - Morata/Firmino transfers if he blanks.

  12. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    How is it possible that Kane can't score in August?

    Seems rubbish, but it just doesn't seem to happen.

    1. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      The planets don't line up for Kane is August

      1. evilfish
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Bad energy coming from Uranus.

  13. Podge
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Wish I could undo that Jesus to Kane transfer:(

    1. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      That should've been a chip

      1. Podge
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Yeh

    2. SilkySkills
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      It was the correct transfer - I'm still looking to get Kane in

  14. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    So close to wildcarding

    Stuck with useless Kane and offside lover salah

    1. King Sheep
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I'm confident Kane or Salah could easily get a goal second half, easily

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

      Ditto.

    3. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      It's time Bemba, it's time.

  15. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Currently got mane and Salah in my team, not sure whether to be happy or sad...really like the look Firmino, what should I do?!

  16. Salahbrate
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Do you think Spurs will win?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Have to have a shot at goal first

      1. G-Whizz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Is your glass always half empty?

  17. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Keeping faith in Kane is like last seasons keeping faith in Aguero

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

      Feels like this.

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Except Aguero occasionally scored

  18. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Can't afford not to wc even though team is decent. So many fails this week and new bandwagons means a lot of price changes imo.

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Or not as too many also play wc

  19. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Can't believe what I witnessed from Arsenal in that first half 🙁
    This is going to be a long season!

    1. Tinydancer
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Its due to years of not staying competitive with transfers, we have been carried by RVP and Sanchez for ages. the team needs so much ....

      1. skriniar
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        the team needs just one thing, kick off wenger

  20. Jairzinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    How is Kane playing?

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Amid 9 Burnley defs

  21. skriniar
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    lovely poool, poor arsenal
    wenger---------> retirement
    how oezil can play PL he is lazy ....

  22. CFC96
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    How is it that of my front 3 of kane, kaku and jrod, jrod is the only one to score so far- the same guy I was meant to take out last week!

  23. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Will be interesting to see how the pool team works with cout in it if he doesn't leave

  24. Football Heaven
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Should I wildcard to this?

    Foster Elliott
    Yoshida hegazi Davies jones mbemba
    Pogba eriksen d. Silva Atsu Carroll
    Jesus firmino Kane

    Really want mane, what should I do?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      No

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Panic

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Foster - Myhill
      Cedric - Jones - Davies - Naughton - Mbemba
      Pogba - Eriksen - Mkhi - Mane - Alli
      Jesus - ????? - ??????

      ????? = Fillers

      That midfield will score you a shedload of points IMO.

    4. aluigi76
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Atsu -5
      Mane +9.6

      Jesus -10.4
      Abraham +5.5

  25. laplana
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Time for Kane to go lads or be left in the dust by Morata, Firmino and Jesus owners. Bye bye Kane.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Exactly, so frustrated I kept faith

      So many other players firing

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

      Jesus gave me 2 one point weeks, so I'm in no hurry to get him back.

  26. Dr. DOOM
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Did Kdb + Firmino - Erikson + Chica (-4)
    Time to leave FPL

  27. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Kane and Willian to Laca(C) and Mane for -4?

  28. SilkySkills
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Henry lol

  29. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    I'd take 1 goal from Kane, just give me anything

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

      Even an assist.

      It's been a painful 3 weeks with the armband on him.

  30. Nicks93
