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.

    Watch Burnley be a man up and a goal down and still put all 11 behind the ball.

    My comments on here at the end of the last GW were about doing a Sterling/Silva double up and dropping Salah to bring Kane in.

    Games updating and genuinely can't remember if I did it or not. I've been preaching Sterling for ages though so if I didn't it's my own fault.

    1. Ady87

      Wasn't updating I was refreshing an old link.

      Did the double up but benched Jones.

  15. Royal5
    • 14 Years

  16. SirStevieG
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    If Kane blanks he doesn't deserve the captaincy at home anymore.

  17. CloudSky

  18. ★Kuntheman★

    The amusing bit is that this is largely the same City team from last season. Finally gelling under Pep's system.

    1. HNI
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      It takes time to gel mate. Plus their weakness was winbacks and they only spent 100mn there to sort it 🙂

      1. HNI

    3. Ravager
      • 11 Years

        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Exactly.

  25. Aarono23
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    The Silva, Sterling and Jesus triple up has worked at least. Happy i took the risk and shipped Salah for sterling on wildcard. Switch back in two weeks
