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.

    Kola>Bailly? Or save 1m and go jones?

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I'd go with Jones. He's a threat from set pieces too. Found himself amongst it a few times this season, couple headers over the bar and a couple scrambles

      8 years, 8 months ago

      Jones but why not keep Kola as could do well v Bournemouth as attacking wing back? Not tainted with today

    Do I need to WC or just take -8 on JWP to Mooy and Danilo to Jones? Did KDB to Eriksen last night

    Foster Elliot
    Bertrand Kolasinac Ake Danilo Long
    Eriksen Pogba Atsu Carroll JWP
    Lukaku Kane Firmino

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Hit and save WC.

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

    Is there a "best" time to use the WC.... statistically speaking?

    How much of a diff does it make using in IB after GW3 vs GW 7?

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

      This anyone able to help?

    2. banskt

      8 years, 8 months ago

      There is no "best" time. Depends on your team.

      personally i prefer now, as people are jumping on and off players so i try and increase my TV

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

        Same here... leaning towards using the WC this week before price rise and then to get the same player will need to compromise on others... already missed the Hegazi train 🙁

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

          played mine last night to avoid the KDB drop, now banking on Kane dropping and Firmino and Morata doing a double rise!

  4. 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 WC this team or save the WC?

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

      Take a hit to replace Kane -- this will not gain you points, you may even lose points because Kane can outscore your replacement in the next gameweek. But personally for me, -4 is better than losing 0.2m and unknown future points. Others may differ in opinion.

  5. FantasyNik123
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    WC or good?

    Foster Myhill
    Jones Hegazi Bertrand Dunk Long
    KDB Mane Ritchie Ince TC
    Kane Kaku Gabs

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

      I would.

      Your mid needs sorting, imo.

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

        Only KDB and Ince out and he's good. WC not necessary unless he really wants to make multiple changes.

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

    Might get in Morata and (C) at LEI (A)

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

      They were quite solid vs United. Just sat deep.

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

      No,Leicester good defensively.

  7. Lady Yaya
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Don't usually post these on here but I'm having a tough time deciding this. My current team is:

    Fabianski, Elliot
    Kolasinac, Dawson, Mee, Stephens, TAA
    Eriksen, Salah, Atsu, Mikhitaryan, Carroll
    Kane, Lukaku, Abraham

    Thinking of WC to this:

    Fabianski, Elliot
    Cedric, Trippier, Jones, Dawson, 4.0
    Eriksen, Mikhitaryan, Salah, Hazard, Carroll
    Lukaku, Firmino, Abraham

    Do you think this is worth it? Thanks in advance

    How would you get Kane into this team?

    Foster Elliot
    Valencia Tripper Yoshida Hegazi Mbemba
    Eriksen Alli Mkhitaryan Salah T.Carroll
    Lukaku Chicharito Mounie

        Lose one of the mids

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

          Yes, I'm getting rid of either Eriksen or Alli, but that doesn't give me enough to get Kane, so I have to find funds elsewhere.
          Any suggestions?

          1. MTPockets
              8 years, 8 months ago

              Valencia to Jones, Spurs mid to someone like atsu, Chich to Kane? Not sure it's net better though

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

                Good suggestion!
                Not quite sure it's net better me neither.

          Lukaku and Alli/Erkisen > Kane and Pogba

            Really? Kane instead of Lukaku?
            I want both, tbh.

            But how can I find the funds?

      • LewanGOALski

        tempted to use WC - should I?

        DDG - Elliot
        Bertrand - Stephens - Daniels - Suttner - Long
        Eriksen - Willian - Ramsey - Fraser - TCarroll
        Kane - Lukaku - Firmino

        1 FT

          GW15-17 last season all over again with Kane. Just know if I sell him - boom.

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

          Was it Hegazi's blunder that cost WBA the clean sheet?

            • 16 Years

                Probably.

        • More Tragic
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Morata Lacazette Firmino

          front line allows you a stellar midfield

          Alli Eriksen Salah Mkhi

          1. HNI
            • 13 Years

            Double up mid on Spurs even after wembley issue?!

            what happens when Kane and Lukaku score?

                • 11 Years

                more than often they will

          3. Pierce34
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Considering Morata Jesus Firmino myself.

        • HNI
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Any idea why was Ramsey subbed at half time? Injury or Tactical?

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

            Tactical. There was a moment where he was in Liverpool's box when the ball was approaching Arsenal's final third.

          2. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years

            Tactical

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

            Had a mare first half and formation change

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

            Tactical I believe.

        • F4L
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Why are people even talking about transfers before the INT break? So much could happen in the next 2 GWs

          1. HNI
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Let people do..every -4 from others counts as having a torrid start thanks to kdb and kane decisions and stubborness to stick with them using underlying stats but ignores heavy pricing

        • DoobNoob
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Bottomed

          Begovic / Elliot
          Jones / Cedric / Hegazi / 4m / 4m
          Erikson / Mkhi / Mane / Willian / RLC
          Lukaku / Lacazette / Chicharito
          1.4ITB 0ft

          Would you wildcard this? So unsure as to what to do.
          Want to change keeper, two strikers, willian, and potentially the 4m defenders as well.

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

            Just remove Willian and that's a solid team.

          2. SADIO SANÉ

        • C'mon the Fylde

          Ritchie/Pogs/MKH/Carroll/Erikson

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

        • Yome
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Is it risky to double up pool attack? I have mane but I want firmino, he looks irresistible

          1. HNI
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Except Manutd no other team worth double up

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

              Klopp does rotate, it is annoying

          2. Chris_H
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            I think Firmino is pretty immune to rotation so I'd consider it

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

            I've already got Salah and mane, would like to have Firmino over mane because of the price but mane looks like he will have a great season this year, as do the rest of the front 3

          4. Spag Bolasie
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Yes of course. The most attacking team in the league, Bargain striker and on pens. With two midfielders who play upfront. It would be stupid not too.

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

              Yes they score a lot of goals like United. I think Firmino at this price is a must, shame I didn't start with him

          5. Pierce34
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            I have Salah but want Mane. Lots of us on the same boat - either pick one and stick or double up. (but no triple)

          6. aarrgghh
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            doubled Mun and Liv and will be Che too after Hazard and happy with it

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

          Dropping Troll the night, have him back in at cheaper price before next Gw.

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

          So I can see 3 good candidates to replace Kane...

          Jesus-least likeliest to rise this week but is playing for a attacking team and is a manager favourite and gets lots of chances but just got his season underway this week...

          Morata- very solid Chelsea team and the vocal point of this team, will be involved in most goals like Costa was last season, very talented and no one knows his potential yet & decent fixtures coming up

          Firmino- the point of a very dangerous Liverpool attack, is on penalties aswell, will be taken off some games due to UCL but most of Liverpools goals will go through him and they score for fun

          Who is your pick?

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

            Morata, Firmino then Jesus for me

          2. The Cloud Watcher
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            I would stick with Kane, but if you really want to change Morata looks to be your man.

          Willian/Mkhi/Salah
          Kane/Jesus/Lukaku

          Out of this team Id change the GK, Stephens and Ake, willian and Jesus maybe. Worth Wildcarding?

          Billy and Atsu (or another for 5m)
          or Jones and a midfielder for 6m, and who for 6m if so?

            Jones and Ritchie. Ritchie looked good without this week,has decent fixtures coming up.

          Tough captaincy choices this week

          Jesus worth a punt.Mounie maybe(Plays Ham)
          Lacazette has the best fixture though

            Not sure about Mounie. Not been impressed.

                Yes but that was with yesterday's matches. Think you'll find the average is more like 42 now...

          Can afford RLC and Jesus -> Mkhi and Firmino (-4)
          (leaves me 0.0 itb). Good moves?

          Problems;
          1) I then have both Pogba and Mkhi
          2) I then have only one premium forward (Lukaku)
