Events continue with a slate of five three o’clock kick-offs which – for once – feature the big sides and some major Fantasy talent.
Three of the top four captains are on show this afternoon.
Harry Kane heads into a trip to Goodison Park backed as the captain by 537,000 (11.6%) having blanked in his opening three Gameweeks, returning just four points.
The Spurs striker has been sold by 192,000+ ahead of today’s deadline – second only to Man City’s Kevin De Bruyne who has just returned two assists to punish the naysayers; the scene is set for Kane to follow suit.
Elsewhere Arsenal’s Alexandre Lacazette earns a recall to Arsene Wenger’s starting line-up to face Bournemouth. He was sold by 136,000+ ahead of today’s clash but has been captained by 233,000, some 34% of his overall ownership.
Alvaro Morata is the other big asset in action.
He was acquired by 345,000+ prior to today’s deadline and claims over 213,000 armbands for Chelsea’s meeting with Leicester City.
Elsewhere, Ahmed Hegazi retains his start for West Brom at Brighton, despite Jonny Evans’ recall to the Baggies’ XI. The Egyptian was bought by 237,000+ ahead of Gameweek 4 and has been snapped up by over a million managers this season – more than any other player.
