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

        • 16 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

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

          To be honest, pre game it was a bad idea imo

      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      thanks pal

      Also need that Vardy brace, so Firm+Mkhit->Vardy+Sterling will turn out to be a masterclass move.

    5. Son is Rising
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Shame my other transfer was a toss-up between Lukaku and Tammy - picked the wrong one 🙁

      1. Yellin' in my Ear
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        How on earth was it a toss up between those two?

  27. Business Cat
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    What's the most number of different players scoring for a team?

    That's 6 different City players on the board...

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

      Think that's probably the record, especially in the PL era.

    2. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Think City or Chelsea had 7 a few seasons back

    3. The Quiff
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I remember 9 Liverpool scoring once. Could have been a cup match though.

  28. Jay Jay Okocha
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Tempted to eschew Aguero/Jesus in favor of Silva/Sterling. Mad?

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

      First explain what is eschew

  29. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    City burying casuals 🙂

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

      City burying me.

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

      How? Aren’t casuals simply buying City players anyway ?

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Everyone is buying City players.

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

          Exactly

          1. George Sillett
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Even many non casuals.

    3. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Really looking forward to the endless RMTs with do I get Sterling v Silva v Sane and Kun v Jesus?

  30. WVA
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    My punt on Sanchez went well....
