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

  5. Feloh

  6. Fred54

  7. Ravager

  8. HALFSPACE

    So city are 6 up but I still don't know if any of them are worth getting.

    Points shared around, entire forward lineup can be rotated next week and they still concede goals....

    Pep is keeping fpl interesting!

    1. LarryDuff
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      as a Jesus/Sterling owner i can assure you they are worth getting

      1. Hotdogs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        This - 6 goals and 6 assists is plenty to share around

  12. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    City is crazy this year.. absoluteI filth

  13. JayLegend
    • 11 Years

  15. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Now I'm glad I swapped in Sane for Eriksen for this game week. Will I switch back though - that's the question...

  17. Hect.OR 98th

    Grateful for the two from Jesus. Stop there, City.

  18. Rik Waller
    • 8 Years

    Triple city a must?

  19. Fanta sea
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Is there a chip where you can have more than 3 City players?

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

      Get Sanchez just before his January move and then run a dead team

  20. Dr. Agabuse
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    The problem is that Jesus will start midweek and Aguero will start next weekend after getting 10mins and a goal today.

    1. That Was Easy!
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Are you Pep?

  21. Tim Canterbury

  22. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

  23. Lecky Legs FC
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    I can't wait to get KDB for Hazard.

  24. the snazzy viking
    • 9 Years

  25. La Roja
    • 14 Years

  26. Freddo
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    It's always good to believe in Jesus.

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

    That attempt sums up Kane perfectly at Wembley.

  28. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Getting City defenders is a mistake. Can't go wrong with any of their attackers.

  29. Chucky
