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

    Morata to Jesus -4 so Jesus 9
    Carroll off bench for 8

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 24 days ago

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

    1. HNI
      9 years, 24 days ago

    2. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 24 days ago

      I only blame myself for giving him the (C) while seriously considering triple City attack at the same time. Idiot I am.

  18. tm245
    9 years, 24 days ago

      1. Stupendous
        9 years, 24 days ago

        He's simply not even close to being worth it. Look at his points!

  26. FPL Touches
    9 years, 24 days ago

    No City, and Kane (C)

    42 points with 3 to play after BAPs

    Acceptable in the end.

    1. Fred54
      9 years, 24 days ago

      That's really good, I have Sterling (+ Kane captain) and only on 29 with 4 to play

    2. LeicesterA
      9 years, 24 days ago

  28. sminkypinky
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Who else did Jones to Otamendi?

  29. Ghost Gooner
    9 years, 24 days ago
