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.

    Kolasinac to ????
    Thinking Jones...I have Alonso, Hegazi, Mee

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

          Naughton and save money to upgrade elsewhere

    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
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 28 days 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
      9 years, 28 days ago

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

    3. JONALDINHO
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

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

    4. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      did exactly that, Kane + kdb to morata + alli

    5. Cok3y5murf
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 28 days 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…
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

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

    1. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 28 days 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
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Sanchez

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

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

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 28 days ago

          But alas risk/reward

        2. Yome
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 28 days ago

          I took him on my WC to captain him against Bournemouth

    2. Think
      • 12 Years

      Liverpool player against man city

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

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

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Lukaku

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

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

    4. banskt
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Jesus again, or back to Lukaku.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 28 days 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
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Lacazette atm

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

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

      What a bellend

  8. Begbie.
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

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

  9. Harper_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

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

    1. Over Midwicket

      One of the Pool lads

    2. diesel001

  10. ooooo
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 28 days 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
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

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

  11. falafel
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

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

    1. Begbie.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

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

    2. MTPockets
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Ritchie

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

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

    3. FC Lackless [BALEGIUM]
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 28 days 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

    1FT 0.0ITB

    WC or not?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years

      Change Dunk and JWP then it will be fine IMO.

      1. Danstoke82
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        Cheers for the feedback.

        Who would you change them too?

  15. Boydinho
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

    Likely double risers? Bobby, Morata, other?

    1. GREENDREAMS11
      • 16 Years

      Salah

    2. Think

      1. Boydinho

        Reckon Alosno will rise to 7.3!?!

    3. Yome
      • 14 Years

      Firmino, Morata

  16. arndff_
    • 14 Years

    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
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

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

      1. banskt
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 28 days 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
          9 years, 28 days ago

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

    2. Pierce34
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

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

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

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

        1. Pierce34
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 28 days ago

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

  17. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 28 days 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
      9 years, 28 days ago

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

    2. Yome
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

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

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
      9 years, 28 days ago

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

    4. Burger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

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

  18. lordkippe
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 28 days 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
      9 years, 28 days ago

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

    2. Think
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

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

      1. lordkippe
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

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

  19. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

    Which combo?

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

    1. Think
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      B

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

      4

  21. Drip Doctor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 28 days 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
      9 years, 28 days ago

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

      1. Drip Doctor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 28 days 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
      9 years, 28 days ago

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

  22. @persecuted_by_mods
    9 years, 28 days 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

  23. ooooo
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

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

    Im really thinking i should wildcard this.

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