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.

      Effing Kane has done this to me every week I’ve captained him.

      Last 2 weeks I never had him he explodes.

      • 16 Years

      Might just get Aguero and Morata when both fit. Really had it with Kane f***ing me over every time I captain him.

  21. el polako

    Atleast the argument wheter Harry Kane is world class or not can be put to bed now.

    • 16 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Sorry guys,its my fault Kane blanked. Every time he blanks, I captain him. Every time he has a brace, I don't. 🙁

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

      Its not that. Its wembley factor. Ignorants will still ignore it. Its for us to realize sooner than later to captain him only in away matches

  29. diesel001

    8 years, 6 months ago

    The good news is that over 55% of overall captain picks have failed (Lukaku and Kane). Over 71% of the Top 10k.
