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.

    Everyone knows Kane will score but when you look at his price compared to other quality strikers, it's a no brainier for me. The only risk is captaining value

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

      Realistically what other options do you have that are doing better for a lot less?

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

        Firmino?

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

          I agree he won't score a hatrick like Kane can but the value for elsewhere could make up for that.

        are u watching the epl?

      3. DoobNoob
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        firmino, morata

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

    Anyone else sticking with Kane through his inevitable price drop?

    1. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Yep

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

      yep

    3. Ode
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Yep. I'm still too scared of not having him

    4. Swedish Rs Mafia
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      sticking and hoping for just -0.1

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

        Yes....already made my ft.

        Don't want to wildcard.

        So he stays

    5. The SK
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Sticking (for now)

  3. HD7
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    How many matches is Walker banned? Wondering if Danilo gets one last march before selling him

    1. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Only one

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Not flagged now

      1. HD7
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Have Bertrand BDavies Jones who should Danilo go to?

  4. itwaswritten
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Kan't and (L)ukaku flopped. Loves it!

  5. Ode
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on bringing Lanzini in now he's fit? Good fixtures, the best player in West Ham imo

    1. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      No. Not a good player to have for fpl

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      that is my plan.

    3. SC not pearls before swine
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Could be a good option. West Ham haven't looked great so far though. They have some good players, but I'm not sure the pieces fit together well.

  6. Slurpy
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    As an Alli Capper and Burnley fan I could not be more happy right now

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

      Well played.

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

    Gonna hold on kolasinac, hes the only player in my xi playing at home and surely wenger will change things for gw4

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

      My thoughts too

    2. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      For a FT I'd get rid. -4 hold.

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

      Ox will leave imo,so Kola comes in for him.

  8. ooooo
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    David SIlva nailed?

    1. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      As much as any city mid

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

      Seems to be so far and playing well

  9. aaaaaa
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Captained Carroll! He did better than Kane and kaku combined! Got me 6 points

    1. The SK
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Very brave.

  10. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    This Kane blank is gold for non-owners. Now his price will inevitably fall and he will be more affordable for the GW5 Swansea (if we still want him by then)

  11. Rex Lapis
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Foster Elliot
    Kolasinac Stephens Daniels Mee Suttner
    Mane Silva Ramsey JWP Carroll
    Kane Lukaku Chica

    1ITB
    no FT left

    play WC or take hit?

  12. dhamphiir
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Cesc Fabregas has been sent off, served a one game ban and still scored more points than Harry Kane this season.

  13. DoobNoob
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Begovic / Elliot
    Jones / Cedric / Hegazi / 4m / 4m
    Erikson / Mkhi / Mane / Willian / RLC
    Lukaku / Mounie / Chicharito
    1.4ITB

    Would you wildcard if you had this team?

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

      Yes. It's a mess. And it's Eriksen not Erikson.

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

        Haha. Straight to the point

    2. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Are you crazy

  14. OldBenKenobi
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Not worth WCing right?

    Foster
    Alonso-Jones-Stephens
    Eriksen-Mkhi-Richarlison-Atsu
    Kane-Lukaku-Firmino

    Elliot-Carroll-Lowe-Goldson

    0.5 itb and no FT

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

      Looks really nice.

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

        Thanks. Would prob WC only to avoid drops etc and buy back cheaper to make £. Not worth wasting it I guess

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

      I wouldn't choose Stephens too much uncertainty currently in that position, go Cedric instead.

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

        unfortunately no FTs so ill have to gamble a while longer. Got Lowe as a back up

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

          Nice, just thought I best let you know 🙂

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

            Maybe wasnt too clear either this is my current team not what I would WC to. Was askinb if its worthy of a WC.

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

              Roger that. Hold.

  15. My Name Is Pepu
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    PL goals in August:

    Harry Kane - 0
    Ciaran Clark - 1

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

    So I'm guessing either Rooney or Firminho are the best third striker options?

    1. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Firminho by a wide margin

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

      You certainly are guessing yes.

  17. FPL Husaria
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Kane out, Marta in. 4itb. Now I can do something with Willian, Danilo, Fraser, Long and maybe Chica.

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

    Mane vs salah

  19. Texas Pete
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    I know this is a massive jerk but just played around with a WC

    DDG/4.0

    Alonso/Bertrand/Hegazi/Suttner/4.0

    Eriksen/Pog/Miki/Salah/Mooy

    Firm/Morata/Mounie

    Get some risers/ avoid some fallers and reappraise later. Very tempting.

  20. TorresMagic™

    Man City vs Liverpool predictions if no injuries in the break?

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

      1-2

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

      3-3

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

      1-1

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

      2-3

    5. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      3-1 to City. Hope KDB explodes finally..

    6. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      1-4

    7. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      1-2

    8. weaver93
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      4-4

    9. bojack
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Liverpool do look irresistible so you can only imagine they score at least once. It's how (badly) they defend, that back five is revolving door.

      I think a score draw is most likely.

    10. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      1-3 Pool

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

      I think City's win this week will just rejuvenate them. 3-1 win for me.

    12. Weeb Kakashi
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Ideally a high scoring match
      Have Mane Salah Jesus

      Worth holding you think TM?

      A player from either side is fine i guess

    13. Arc
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      1-1

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

      0-2

  21. FPL Husaria
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    * Morata

  22. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Have Kane Mane Salah

    Would you ship Kane?
    Or
    Any of the Pool mids??They were great today...But City away

    Thoughts??

    1. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Yes- he will score but no value there

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

      Why ship any one of Salah, Mane for just one week? That too they can score in that week?

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

    Only going to get worse for Arsenal. Teams that have played in the Europa league have seen poor results in league games directly following a Thursday night Europa league match. Just look at Man Utd, Spurs or Southampton's results after Europa league games over last few years...for example last season Man Utd lost away to Watford, Drew at home to Stoke and were beaten 4-0 away at Chelsea following Europa league matches

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

    Kanes price puts me off. When you look at morata and Jesus and lacazette and even kaku, they're much better value for money

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Lacazette was benched today and is a Wenger player, nuff said. Jesus is a Pep player if he was nailed beyond a shadow of a doubt he'd be in all teams. Morata is tempting but still need to see a bit more

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Wouldn't swap Kane for any of them though

  25. cravencottage
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Pogba or Salah?

    1. C'mon the Fylde
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Pogba

    2. Effendi007
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Salah

  26. Orion
    • 15 Years

    TM? Safety score please

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Too early. Low 30s maybe.

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

        Ty... I'm on very low 39... hope I'll come by

  27. C'mon the Fylde
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Kane is going.

    Kane for Firmino?

  28. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    I was determined to hit the wildcard button, but besides Willian and Kola there isn't much I want to change...

    Save for another day surely?

    Foster / Elliot
    Kola / Stephens / Jones / Mee / Lowe
    Alli / Salah / Mkhi / Willian / Carroll
    Kane / Lukaku / Quaner

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

      Kane, quaner-> firmino/ morata, chicha?

  29. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Which is a better combination?
    A) Mane-Chicharito-Cedric(bench)
    B) Salah-Firmino-Rosenior(bench)

    1. The SK
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      A more balanced

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

      A

  30. The SK
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    A) Gabbiadini+Gross to Firmino+4.5 (-4)
    B) Gabbiadini+Daniels to Firmino+Mbemba (-4)
    C) Kane to Firmino
    D) Keep

    Already owned Salah.
