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

      9 years, 24 days ago

      Carroll for me too 🙂

    Tom Carroll is one of the bargain of the season IMO. He plays every game (unlike RLC) and he has attacking threat. He should be priced over £5.0m but he is £4.5m.

    1. Pariße
      9 years, 24 days ago

  12. Ady87
    9 years, 24 days ago

    2/2/2 from the front line. 6/6 on the bench. Good times!

  13. Salah’s Sonnet
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Sterling still worth bringing in with Aguero back ya reckon guys?

    1. Sánchez
      9 years, 24 days ago

      His stats are second to none.
      Imagine if he wasn't sent off that game after his pen

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        9 years, 24 days ago

        Agreed! but is he still worth it with Aguero back?

  14. DAZZ
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Got to keep Lukaku for Huddersfield away surely? May get zappacosta in for davies, maybe his time has come

    1. We Will Klopp you
      9 years, 24 days ago

  17. LeicesterA
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Unless you captained a city player, the Kane fail isn't too bad. Could have been much worse really.

  18. Bury94

    Reckon it's worth doing the Alli to Eriksen swap?
