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.

    WC or hold out (with price drop of kane) to see what happens to stephens trippier willian?

    Elliot foster
    Stephens trippier bailly long suttner
    Willian eriksen salah caroll atsu

      Hold

    2. # Young Gun SEAMUS #
      • 14 Years

      kane should go for morata or firminho

      Don't hold. Don't WC. Take a hit.

    Morata against Arsenal 3 weeks later

    People selling Lukaku and Kane. Some buying rotation risk players like Lacazette, Kun, Jesus etc.
    I thought that people here actually use the knowledge that this site gives us...

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

      None is selling Lukaku.

      And selling Kane is a great decision. -4 point >> 0.3m

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Almost sure that seen few post sbout it and some WC teams without him

    Hazard helps or hinders Morata?

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

      Helps, but I personally would get hazard over him

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years

      Get both

  5. Henryyy

    Are you selling Kane?

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

      Already done

      1. # Young Gun SEAMUS #
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        wat u done ?? Morata or firmino

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

          I had to play my wildcard. Took Kane out for Morata and Gabidianni for firminho.

    2. DD
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Nah not with their upcoming 5 fixtures

  6. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone know why Salah never got bonus off a goal and an assist?

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

      He was behind on baseline baps compared to Moreno and Gomez. The latter got an assist as well which put him over Salah.

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

      Caught offsides loads, missed a couple of big chances

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

      He does far too many things (e.g., lose possession, shots off target) that lose BPS. He will always struggle in this department.

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

        He was 5/5 on target today tho.

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

          I was speaking in generalities about why he fails to get bonus. Offsides, losing the ball, pass completion, shots off target. He's just going to struggle to get bonus. It's no different from the bonus potential for Eriksen vs. Alli. You have to take the good with the bad with both Salah and Alli when it comes to bonus.

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Not enough bps. Rather the points.

  7. The Butch
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Kane Mounié to Firmino Morata?

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

      Yeah, the latter will bring more points in compared to the former

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

        I doubt. Kane / Mounie will get more points.
        But do the transfer for the price.

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

    @WGTA_FPL: Kane stats remain ridic. Our man Ed has just picked out that he's taken 22% of the total shots he had for ALL OF LAST SEASON in just 3

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

      Thats mental.

      1. More Tragic

        1. CloudSky

          0, thats why its mental?

    2. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years

      Selling Kane for a hit...wow!
      Willian, Ramsey -> Pogba, Ritchie/Atsu

  10. Torreslove
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    All this keep/sell Kane is oddly similar to Aguero situation last year

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I still think It's very different.

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

        Much different.

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

      Kane isn't under any threat though.

      1. JAC THE CAT
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        That's the key point.

      2. Torreslove
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        neither was aguero. jesus came along in Jan. Aguero was blanking in the fall

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

          Yeah, but it was clear that Pep wasn't thrilled with Kun's inability to play a higher pressing game. Again, there are no concerns about Kane. It's more fluky than anything.

    3. the Penman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      It's identical to the Ibra situation from last year...

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

        aguero to ibra was the transfer to do early on in the season. how is that similar to ibra situation

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

          Everyone who had Ibra a few week into his blank streak in Autumn last year were huffing for puffing over who to shift him out for, or whether to keep on giving him another chance. Likewise now with Kane.

  12. JAC THE CAT

    Ideal front 3 on a WC?

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

      Morata, Firmino, JRod.

      1. JAC THE CAT
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Why not Lukaku?

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

          Didnt score this week. 😉

          1. JAC THE CAT
            • 12 Years

            I see! He's out for sure then 🙂

    2. FPL Virgin

      Why ask unless you are wildcarding?

      1. JAC THE CAT
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I think it's time.

        I had my most successful season with a GW3 WC and hate my current team.

    3. Speédy
      • 9 Years

      Lukaku Morata Firmino

      1. Bushido

        That

    4. liiusions

      Kane/Morata Lukaku Firmino

    5. Chenku╰☆╮

      morata firmino rooney

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

      Lukaku, Rooney, Jesus.

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

        Because, you will already have Liverpool / Spurs players in the midfield. There are no standout options for mid from City.

      2. JAC THE CAT
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I still like Jesus, even more tempting with that price drop.

    7. Arn De Gothia
      • 15 Years

      Morata Firmino Roon

        This. By far.

    9. mbrewer94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Kane, Morata, Firmino

    10. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Kane, Lukaku, Firmino. Easy!

      1. JAC THE CAT
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Still Kane?

        I've captained him for three GW's and had enough.

        1. Lone Wolf FPL
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          He will start scoring a lot. Plus there is no other nailed good striker there. Still not convinced about Morata. Jesus, Kun, Laca are a big NO!

    My Kane/Jese for Salah/Jesus this GW is my current fail move of the season. Well, at least until next gw.

  16. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years

    No clear cut template even after 3 gws.

    Loving this season.

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

      Same, apart from my rank that is, which is just inside 2 million!

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

      Rank is going down the drain. But the season is great.

    3. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Too early for a template to be formed.

  17. ZeBestee

    8 years, 8 months ago

    Have Eriksen, should i sell Kane?

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

    Who to double up on?

    A) Eriksen and Alli

    B) Firmino and Mané

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

      I'd go B myself.

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

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

    Im really thinking i should wildcard this.

    1. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      bench?

  20. Alli
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    If I do a transfer for a -4 hit now and then decide to go for wildcard will the -4 stand?

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

      WC erases hits.

    2. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years

      No

    Are Liverpool's assets too good to overlook despite the possibility of rotation during CL?

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Still very good

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Of course, guaranteed goals

      • Meppelfield
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Well, they will have a similar schedule to United, Spurs, Chelsea and City who are all in CL too. Can't avoid them all, so I wouldn't avoid Liverpool assets due to CL rotation risk.

    3. the Penman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      A premium price striker for a top team is producing plenty shots and yet completely failing to get goals?

      Help! I've gone back in time to October 2016...

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

      Quiet ashamed to suggest getting out Salah for mane befare the game was finished (own Salah). I guess that just shows how we all wind eachother up with transfer talk...

      Hold Kane, folks!

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

        I don't know. I don't have a lot of other issues. I am seriously consider out for this GW and back in for GW5 and avoid the price falls. Not going to captain in GW4 anyway.

        1. thomashl

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

          Just couldn't fit de gea in and alonso seems like a must have...

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

            Alonso certainly is a must have, in my opinion.

            Don't think you need a 5.5 GK though, to be honest. Could get a 4.5 and then upgrade Mounie or someone else. Personally still think Chicarito will be excellent over the next few weeks despite his blank yesterday.

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

            Yeah I was originally building the team around a front 3 of morata firmino and vardy. I just worry West Ham won't create anything for chicharito to poach

      2. Yome

      -8 that involved Firmino -> Kane (c)
      Jesus -> Chicarito
      and Mbemba, 9 points in (and benched)

        Not so painful when you have 17 teams. I'm sure one of them did well.

      What to do with this attack?

      Pogba Salah Willian RLC Eriksen
      Kane Jesus Mcburnie

      Do Sell Jesus or Kane? I am tempted to get Firmino/Morata
