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

      1. GreenArrows
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Well that was all the feedback I got on here and I was also worried for Aguero being close to playing

          Don’t know what feedback you were getting...

  7. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Salty I didn't pull the trigger on Lukaku to Jesus. Aguero put too much doubt...

    1. Ravager
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Pretty much. Should have pulled the trigger myself, not necessarily cause of Kun doubt. Just ownership doubt.

  8. CloudSky
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Eriksen - Salah/Cout - Silva - Rich looks like a season keeper midfield.

    1. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Until next week

    2. lugs
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      agreed , i have all of them except Cout lol

    3. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      It's my midfield but I really feel like shaking it up a bit..

      1. CloudSky
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        I wouldnt.

  9. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    PEDRO ON

  10. fedolefan
    • 11 Years

    Just too many goals here.

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      The avg is surprisingly low though.

  11. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Morata on the bench when I should have just gone Jesus!

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      You didn’t sell Morata ?

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Nope. Bought him for 10.0 and hoping for him to start next week. Oh well. Lesson learnt.

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Depends who you had coming in for him off your bench I suppose ... I sold for Vardy and lost a bit of value but he will drop this week anyway

    2. Afghanistanislas
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Same...he better start next week

      Don't think so - Lukaku to make way instead.

  25. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago
