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.

      I would keep. Untainted by today and could bo well as wing back attacking Bournemouth

    Bottomed.

    My plan for dealing with Kane and awkward captaincy options in gameweek four:

    1. Sell, this week, before his price drops, using your FT.
    2. Bring in a striker with a top-quality fixture for GW4 - leaning towards Lacazette but Morata and Jesus are options I'm considering.
    3. Hope Kane drops significantly in price.
    4. Captain the player with the good fixture. United/Liverpool don't have great fixtures for captaincy so this helps tackle that.
    5. Hide behind the sofa and hope Kane blanks away at Everton.
    6. Hope for further price decreases.
    7. Repurchase Kane in time for GW5 - ideally at least 0.3 cheaper - and his next four fixtures of SWA, WHU, HUD, BOU, using your GW5 FT.

      And what if you need to transfer elsewhere...

      1. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Well, I don't need any other transfer as it stands. Can't predict the future but I'm not gonna ride a 0.2 drop this week while also being unhappy with my captaincy options.

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

      looks good. I'm quite confident in Lukaku away against Stoke though

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

      Yeah this is what I'm leaning towards by getting laca

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

      did exactly that, Kane + kdb to morata + alli

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

      How do you know Lacazette will start? And I don't think anyone should be bringing in a City striker. That would be unwise.

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

    Is that it for Willian? Will his place be gone now with Hazard imminently back?

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

      Probably. I'm considering a straight swap to Fabregas, there surely must've been some sort of an agreement between him and Conte for him to start games, especially in the season before the World Cup.

    Who's everyone capping next gameweek? Kane has Everton away, Kaku Stoke, I'm swaying between the two but currently on Kaku

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

      Sanchez

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

        Too much doubt surrounding Arsenal atm, not sure he'll even stay

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

          But alas risk/reward

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

          I took him on my WC to captain him against Bournemouth

    2. Think
      • 11 Years

      Liverpool player against man city

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

        Could be a great shout, especially if it's a high scoring game

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

      Lukaku

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

        Leaning that way atm, Kaku should get at least the 1

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

      Jesus again, or back to Lukaku.

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

        Hmm, yet to see how Jesus does vs the big teams due to his metatarsal injury but if it's a high scoring game could pay off

    5. HALFSPACE
      • 8 Years

      Lacazette atm

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years

        If Wenger has come back to his senses gw4 then could be a brilliant shout

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

    a) Firmino, Brady, 4.5 defender (Moreno/Naughton)
    b) Vokes, Ramsey/Fabregas, B. Davies

  9. Harper_

    Would take a captaincy punt this coming gameweek the trouble is I got nobody worth punting on

    1. Over Midwicket

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

    Hart
    Stephens/Ake/Davies/Lowe
    Willian/Mkhi/Salah
    Kane/Jesus/Lukaku

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

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

      Play 3 ATB rotating Ake and Lowe, Stephens and Jesus are Fine. Willian looks,like starting ahead of Pedro

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

    the best midfielder for 6m? I'm thinking of Jese, Ritchie or Richarlison

    1. Begbie.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Of those Richarlison. I think Brady at 5.5 is worth a punt though. Good home fixtures.

    2. MTPockets
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Ritchie

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

          Richarlison has the most upside, should benefit from the Silva effect too

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

        Richie has the fixtures and on all set pieces. New up and running as an attack force now.

      Hi all, should I WC on this? Appreciate your opinions;

      Foster
      Bertrand Jones Dunk
      Mane Eriksen Pogba JWP
      Kane Lukaku Mounie

      Subs; Myhill Ake TCarroll Hunemeier

      WC or not?

      1. diesel001

        Change Dunk and JWP then it will be fine IMO.

        1. Danstoke82
          • 11 Years

          Cheers for the feedback.

          Who would you change them too?

    6. Boydinho

      Likely double risers? Bobby, Morata, other?

          Reckon Alosno will rise to 7.3!?!

      3. Yome
        • 14 Years

        Firmino, Morata

    7. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Shall I use my WC? 0FT, 0.4ITB

      DDG Elliot
      Monreal Dawson Stephens Suttner Long
      Eriksen Salah Mkhi Atsu TCarroll
      Kane Lukaku Mounie

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

        I would WC to that team, not away from it.

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

          And I would sale Kane for a -4. Personally for me, 0.2m loss is reason enough for a hit, irrespective of future point prospects.

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

            Your team is better than mine I think. Thanks for the opinion, mate.

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

        No, that's not a bad team. What move did you already make?

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

          Last night, I did KDB > Eriksen to avoid KDB's price drop.

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

            Solid. Fingers crossed for the break injury-wise, but no wildcard needed overall.

    8. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Score with my WC - 34

      If I had of saved a transfer and not played it- 46 with my WC intact and 2 free transfers for the Int'l break

      The joys 🙂

      1. GREENDREAMS11
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Aye it can be crap at times. I took out Alonso before last weeks games.

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

        Similar here, my WC did worse. The pain is my bench with Elliot, Mbemba and Naughton

      3. @persecuted_by_mods
          8 years, 8 months ago

          You didn't wildcard for one gameweek, keep the faith!

        • Burger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          Count yourself lunch, I would have been 76pts pre wildcard and I got 31pts this week with my wildcard. Fml.

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

        Got top 35 k last season but is now @ 2,3 million. Feels like my team is a mess and consider wildcarding. What would you do with this ?

        Foster - Elliot

        PVA - Stephens - Daniels - Dawson - Long

        Mane - Alli - Willian - Atsu - Carroll

        Kane - Lukaku - Gabbiadini

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

          WC IMO. Don't like double WBA, PVA, Atsu, Gabbi. Willian place may be under threat with Hazard's return

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

          Nothing wrong with the team. Just ship out PVA and look after better option than atsu.

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

            So 2 different answer doesnt make this any easier... hmmmm

      5. ★Kuntheman★

        Which combo?

        A) Forster-Cedric-Naughton
        B) Fabianski-Bertrand-Naughton
        C) Forster-Bertrand-Rosenior

        Kompany>naughton for my ft ? Need to free up some cash. ¤ good home fixtures in the next 6

        • 15 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        The Knee Jerk.

        Utd have scored 10 goals, Lukaku has been involved in just 3. You look at Morata who is 1.5m cheaper and the knee begins to jerk. Do you see this as a good move? I see Morata keeping pace with Lukaku. On top of that, it allows you to double on Mkhi/pogba or get double Utd defence as they are all offering excellent value at the moment.

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

          Nope, Lukaku is a season keeper, one of the favorite for golden boot

          1. Drip Doctor
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            Not saying he's not, but for 1.5m, Morata could easily match him. The rest of Utds players are priced better than Chelseas so you can get better coverage in terms of price/points.

        2. BananaNose Maldonado
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          It's not the worst idea. I'm seriously going to look at Lukaku and Ramsey for Morata and Pogba.

      8. @persecuted_by_mods
          8 years, 8 months ago

          It honestly does seem like the percentage of players making incredibly early transfers has increased. Maybe it's just my memory of previous seasons

            KdB, Ramsey, Kane, Dann -- so a -8 hit. I suggest WC only if you absolutely need a -12 hit or more.

          Kane can f**k off now. Newcastle, Chelsea & Burnley. You'd expect a goal in at least 1 of them!!!!
