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.

    Brady 8 points on my bench. Noooooo!!!!

      Left Mbemba's 9 pointer on the bench :p

    De Gea (Elliott)

    Danilo / Cedric / Daniels / (Mee, Dunk)

    KDB / Pogba / Willian / Redmond / (Carroll)

    Lukaku / Kane / J. Rodriguez

    Not really sure what to make of all this, my main 3 areas of concern are Kane, KDB and Danilo's rotation.

    Both Kane and KDB's stats indicate they're playing well, topping lots of lists of chances created, shots, touches in the box,etc but they're scoring no points!!

    I'd also like to bring Hazard in for Willian when he starts to play..

    Thinking of maybe doing;

    KDB > Eriksen
    Kane > Firminho

    although i reckon i'll be kicking myself when KDB and Kane start producing!

    Foster / Elliot
    Kola / Stephens / Jones / Mee / Lowe

    How long until Mbemba goes back to the bench again?

    1. Ohhh Shola Ameobi
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Not sure. Lejeune is back from injury we think, but Mbemba played very well at left back yesterday. Just get Elliot.

    Current team:
    Foster
    Cedric - Alderweireld - Daniels
    Mkhitaryian - Eriksen - Sarah - William
    Lukaku - Lacazette - Chicharito
    Bench: Coleman (GK) Loftus-Cheek Rangel Hünemeier

    Time for Wildcard? Any good tips? 🙂

    Guys, guys, hold your horses. There's a perfectly reasonable and logical way to explain Kane's lack of returns.
    He's cursed in August.

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

    Not sure I can justify Kane to Morata. Especially with those delicious fixtures...

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

    Stephens nailed?

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

      Can't tell atm so no.

  13. NIGHTHIKER - I Kane, I Shaw…
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    (repost,bottomed)
    On wildcard, would appreciate thoughts:

    Gomes // Elliott

    Alonso // Maguire // Jones // Lowe // Mbemba

    Sanchez // Pogba // Richarlison // Mooy // Carroll

    Kane // Morata // Chicarito

    - Having second thoughts about lack of Liverpool attack, but only 2 home games in next six and Klopp likely to rotate around CL games.
    - Also torn about lack of Lukaku, but can't see him hauling in any games between now and GW11 (apart from Palace at home maybe), also Pogba should take pens now after the miss vs Leicester.
    - Kane poor form is also a worry, but surely it's only a matter of time before he starts hauling.
    - Lack of City attack also giving me second thoughts, but Jesus/Aguero rotation and Silva not being nailed on means I'll probably hold off.
    - Obviously if Sanchez leaves this gets ripped up, but I only see him a short term option for the next 4-5 games, if he does stay at Arsenal.

    Cheers 🙂

    Lol @ Salah sellers

    1. Fuchs Mane Kante
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Guilty as charged.

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

    the fear of a kane haul could seriously derail a season. If he blanks v everton people will hold for swansea at home, then west ham at home as kane has a good record in london derbies and west ham are crap.

    It's never ending

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

      Alright mate give it a rest and sell him ffs

        This

    2. Fuchs Mane Kante
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Sanchez haul will be worse.

    3. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      West Ham tend to do well against Spurs last few seasons IIRC.

  16. hannesdela
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    0.3 M in the bank, what to do?

    Foster (Elliot)
    Bertrand Hegazi Schindler (Suttner, Amat)
    Mkhi Eriksen KDB Ramsey (RLC)
    Lukaku Jesus Gabbiadini

    KDB--> Mané or Salah? And what about Gabbiadini and Ramsey?

    1. COLLIN QUANER
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Get Ramsey out ASAP

      1. hannesdela
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah I know he probably won't start next GW. But not sure who to bring in. Worth taking a -4 on Mané/Salah and Richarlison for KDB and Ramsey? And hold Gabbiadini then?..

  17. 7shadesofsmoke
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Best replacement for De Bruyne?

    a) Eriksen (I have Alli)
    b) Mane (I have Firminho)
    c) Salah
    d) Silva (I have Jesus)
    e) Other (I have 3x Man U so cannot bring in Pogbeans or Mhyktaryan)

    1. NIGHTHIKER - I Kane, I Shaw…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe Silva if he can keep his place. I'd avoid Eriksen and Alli in the same team with Spurs still settling at Wembley, and not sure about double Liverpool with 2 home games in next 6 and Klopp rotation.

      1. 7shadesofsmoke
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        thank you, sounds like good advice

  18. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Drop one...

    a) Kane

    b) Lukaku

  19. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    69 with Kane(c), Eriksen and Trippier all firing blanks. What could have been 🙁

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

      Oh hush you

    2. el polako
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      66 with Kane as captain.

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

    Can I survive with this lineup?

    Forster (Elliot)
    Bertrand Jones Hegazi (Mbemba, Rosenior)
    Eriksen Salah Mkhitaryan Loftus-Cheek (Carroll)
    Kane Lukaku Firmino

    1. That Was Easy!
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Surely.

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Yep.

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

      Yes IMO.

    4. FC Lackless [BALEGIUM]
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      looks a good team

  21. shearer9
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Might get Mounie despite the blank, 7 shots ITB.

  22. That Was Easy!
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    I know a lot of these are flying around, but do I hit the WC button after a 34-pter? Not a single goal or assist this week.

    Foster
    Stephens, Bertrand, Jones
    Eriksen, Pogba, Willian, Phillips
    Kane, Lukaku, Gabby

    Elliot; T Carroll, Mee, Long

    1. Dr. DOOM
      • 8 Years

      I got 37 and WC ACTIVATED

  23. Nigawan

      very good

  24. Foozeball
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Considering Liverpool's record against top sides, I'm seriously considering captaining Mane. Problem is I feel like a blank is incoming because he's already scored 3 games in a row. I remember well how he often alternated between blanks and double digit scores last season XD

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Mane didn't blank for 9 GWs in a row last season at one point

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

        I would think I would remember something like that. Which GWs were that?

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

    Mane Salah Kane

    Sell any or Hold all?
    Liverpool are away to city next!

    1. That Was Easy!
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Away to city is a wonderful fixture for Pool

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

      sell all lol 😀

  26. juanmata8
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Foster | Elliot
    Danillo | Bailly | Daniels | Yoshida | Rosenior
    Eriksen | Pogba | Mane | Mooy | Carroll
    Kane | Lukaku | Quaner

    Did FT from KDB>Eriksen last night before drop... should I wildcard this team?

  27. Beatle
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    56 points. About average for here?

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Slightly over average I guess

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

      Yeah. On 57 pts myself.

  28. the axolotl
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    so the no kane plan for 1st 3GWs went better than expected. getting him in on WC now, once he drops in price

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

    I admit it's hard to not own Kane but you just have to look at his price. It's huge. Morata is far more appealing imo. His fixtures are sooooo appealing though.
