After a goalless draw at Anfield, there are five 3pm kick-offs to keep us ticking over.

Spurs, Man City and Chelsea all boast very favourable fixtures that could prove significant in the Gameweek 8 standings.

A visit from Bournemouth persuaded over 525,000 to acquire Harry Kane last week.

For the first time this season, the Tottenham frontman is the most captained player (31.4%) for the Gameweek after scoring twice in all but one of his last four league outings.

Yet to net at Wembley in the league, Kane has bagged three goals in his last two home meetings with the Cherries.

At the other side of the pitch, though, there’s bad news for Ben Davies owners – the top-scoring defender in FPL misses out today due to illness.

Pep Guardiola’s side boast a number of big-hitting options for the visit of Stoke.

Gabriel Jesus, Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane all start, while Sergio Aguero is deemed fit enough to warm the bench, with his manager perhaps having one eye on the midweek Champions League clash against Napoli.

Meanwhile, Eden Hazard makes his way to Crystal Palace on the back of a brace for Belgium over the recent internationals.

With the fixtures falling in his favour, Hazard has the chance to play his way into our plans for the foreseeable future.

Elsewhere, Burnley and West Ham go head-to-head at Turf Moor as the hosts look to continue their fine home record. One goal against in three at home has seen Stephen Ward claim over 232,000 new owners ahead of this one.

Swansea and Huddersfield go head-to-head in the final 3pm fixture.

As this is the first of four plum matches in six (HUD LEI BRI BOU), we’re looking for signs of value from the Welsh outfit, with the two-goal Tammy Abraham on our radars up front.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    I took a -8 to bring in Batshuayi, Jesus and Sterling for Lukaku, Morata and A.King. Enjoying the last few minutes of hope and optimism before reality piddles on my chips.

  13. Lone Wolf FPL

    *check Zaha price*

  14. Monkey Hanger

  16. Old Wulfrunian
    9 years, 24 days ago

    I like Klopp as a coach but you can't change your two best players against Man utd especially when the score is 0-0.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Champions League in mind. They really need to get a win there.

    1. makaveli123
      9 years, 24 days ago

      23.8% overall

  19. Syd.
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Bournemouth have put out a really defensive side

    2 regular attacking players benched and an extra defender and defensive midfielder deployed

    Could be another Wembley 0-0

    1. Point-one short
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Worrying

  20. Jason Bourne
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Davies got me 16 points last week so I am OK with his rest today.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Yeah, but the week before that he was also out :/

      1. Point-one short
        9 years, 24 days ago

        Rather 16 every other week than 8 each week - at least someone else comes in this week.

    1. Pierce34
      9 years, 24 days ago

      I just hope it's not Jesus hatty (really like Jesus, but I didn't get him for Morata)

    2. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
      9 years, 24 days ago

    3. Oven Glover

    4. Fred54
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Picking his nose, waving to the fans and telling a joke about WC excursions. The ultimate bench hat trick.

      9 years, 24 days ago

      9 years, 24 days ago

  29. FPL Emu
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Seeing that sterling starts, it makes my Vardy + Maguire + Tom Carroll over Sterling + VVD + fodder forward seem really awkward

  30. It’s gonna Ben Mee
