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.

    4. Ravager

  2. Prison Mike
    9 years, 24 days ago

    2. Sgt. Schultz
      9 years, 24 days ago

  5. Old Wulfrunian
    9 years, 24 days ago

    The most frustrating thing is not the blank of Kane and Alli but Davie's illness.Shindler will take his place..

  6. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    9 years, 24 days ago

  7. Flynny
    9 years, 24 days ago

  8. HNI
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Kane to Kun for free looks pretty much done deal eh?
    Kane has two easy ones in next 6 but both at wembley...seems kun should cover him well

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      9 years, 24 days ago

      i'm not getting rid of kane this season anymore. he will hit back hard.

  9. Goonermeister

  10. England23

    1. Dr. DOOM
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Hazard to sterling

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

    Kane is the real troll. Thinking of going Kaku, Kun instead of Kane, Kun

  12. Legomané
    • Has Moderation Rights
    9 years, 24 days ago

    58 provisional after baps...but only DCL to go...

    Guess I have to be happy with that with a Davies no show, double Burnley defence, Jones>Stones fail and Azpilawhatdidyoudo...

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Carroll off the bench at least..

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

      You must have got the captain choice right then? I got 55 pre baps Kane (C) with a WC team. Happy overall.

      1. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        9 years, 24 days ago

        Nope Kane(c)

        Erik
        Sterling
        Jesus

  13. jia you
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Might even get my Jones points as third sub yet if Ritchie or Atsu don't play! Tis a funny old game...Davies, Ramsey out TC in!

  14. TheTinman
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Can anyone humour me with some averages?

    1. Dr. DOOM
      9 years, 24 days ago

      32 overall. With Bonus.

    2. MTPockets
      9 years, 24 days ago

  15. F4L
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Can we LOL@ Hazard owners now?

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Forgot about Haz 🙁

    2. Dr. Agabuse
      9 years, 24 days ago

      not close to derving his price but will keep for the next game

      1. grumpyman
        9 years, 24 days ago

        Same here. Always get burned by Hazard but surely Chelsea have to make a big statement in their next game?

    3. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      9 years, 24 days ago

      What about Sanchez owners?

  16. On The Up
    9 years, 24 days ago

    When Aguero starts next week who get dropped? Surely one of Sane or sterling?

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Jesus

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

      Aguero might play CL
      Jesus play PL next week.

    3. Ravager
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Yep. Lottery as to which but I think Sterling has started more frequently...

      Keeping an eye on CL to get a better gauge.

      1. Flynny
        9 years, 24 days ago

        Think it all depends on the team he plays midweek..

        Maybe Jesus for the rest...

    4. DAZZ
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Sterling hopefully

    5. HNI
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Sterling starts in epl.
      Thats why he played full match today too

  17. Tim Canterbury
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Andy absolutely cleaned up. Sterling, Eriksen, Carroll, Jones, Naughton, Jesus

    1. The Royal Robin
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Link to his team?

  18. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Mkhi & Chicharito -> Sterling & Vardy for 2FT has been rewarding so far

  19. Oven Glover
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Friendly reminder:

    CL & EL games midweek.

    Keep your FT:s until Friday

    1. Oven Glover
      9 years, 24 days ago

      No need to bring in Diouf yet!

  20. le flem
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Well, Firmino and Salah to Jesus and Sterling paid off 🙂

    1. VFORVANDETA
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Nice one.

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

  21. FPL Touches
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Speroni and Elliott now making the £8.0m keeper pairing dream come true

  22. The Royal Robin
    9 years, 24 days ago

    What are you doing with Bavies?

    A) Selling (For who?)
    B) Keeping but benching him v Liverpool
    C) Keeping and starting him v Liverpool

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Seeing how midweek goes.

  23. DA Minnion (Former great)
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Any chance Ritchie doesn't play? Carroll first on bench.

    1. VFORVANDETA
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Maybe.

    2. HNI
      9 years, 24 days ago

      I hope the same lol. But considering how imp he is for NweC he will start

  24. DAZZ
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Tempted by zappacosta, depending on the extent of moses's injury! Anyone see if he looked good? Very low %

  25. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 24 days ago

    right then, 51 with vardy to play - how'd I do?

    1. VFORVANDETA
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Good.

      1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 24 days ago

        really? doesn't feel good with only one player left

  26. AzzaroMax99
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Why trippier is over eriksen??!!

    1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      9 years, 24 days ago

      why do people ask these questions every week. Do you understand how bonus points work? Scoring a goal is no guarantee of top baps...

      1. AzzaroMax99
        9 years, 24 days ago

        But winning goal is.

    2. marquinhos
      9 years, 24 days ago

      He will get the 3 BAPS, winning goal bonus yet to be added

    3. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 24 days ago

      still to add winning goal

  27. Syd.
    9 years, 24 days ago

    There is only one thing I like about Jose Mourinho

    The fact he sold Kevin de Bruyne

    1. HNI
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Exactly. Him at Chelsea would have been crazy. Really happy

  28. Gashead9
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Mkhi owners keeping for Huddersfield or getting rid now?

    1. HNI
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Keep for Hud
      They fav to get relegated along with cpl.
      Plus they are a team who have -ve GD in championship! Imagine what will it be in epl lol

      1. Gashead9
        9 years, 24 days ago

        Yea, I think I will keep and then swap for Couts after

    2. BROOKLYN GOONER
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Likely selling this week, but not an emergency.

    3. micsway
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Out for Sterling here.

  29. HNI
    9 years, 24 days ago
