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

  3. Flynny
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Are we all getting and captaining kun next week?

    Would be a hit but potentially well worth it....

    1. Magic Bean
      9 years, 24 days ago

      See what happens in the champions league

  4. Weeb Kakashi
    9 years, 24 days ago

    35 post bps
    With VVD Elliot Laca to go!!

    Below average?

    1. VFORVANDETA
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Should be above average.

    2. Naboo
      9 years, 24 days ago

      47 w/ Forster & Cedric to play

  5. BROOKLYN GOONER
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Strong defense fails--Davies out sick.
    Strong defense succeeds--Jones 6-pointer comes in. 🙂

    1. Naboo
      9 years, 24 days ago

      *7

  6. Fanta sea
    9 years, 24 days ago

    What??? Hazard only got 2 points even though the he got 5 points in 4 games prior to the Palace game???

    I'm shocked!

    1. BROOKLYN GOONER
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Was a little bit worried that he would smack Woy's boys around, but is looking like it's the wildcarders who are feeling the pain.

  7. Ode
    9 years, 24 days ago

    39 pre-bps with Kola, Cedric, Elliot & Vardy to go, should be over average right?

    1. barracuda
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Bloody hope so!

    2. Magic Bean
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Yes

  8. barracuda
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Maybe it's time to change FPL "non casual thinking" and take hits when it comes to Man City players?

    1. Naboo
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Taken 4 hits this season and I'm doing great! Still have WC too

  9. BRKFCTrueRover

    Oh well should have captained jesus or sterling over kane but what can ya do

  10. Crouching Tiger
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Kane to Aguero? Got Jesus already.

    1. F4L
      9 years, 24 days ago

      nope

      1. Crouching Tiger
        9 years, 24 days ago

        Have you seen Spurs fixtures?

        1. F4L
          9 years, 24 days ago

          aye, will watch both teams closely in midweek. If Davies Dembele and Wanyama are back, i'll be keeping Kane

  11. jbenny1107
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Lukaku to Aguero or Mkhi to Sane? Already have Silva and Sterling.

  12. VFORVANDETA
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Kola-Kola.

  13. F4L
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Didnt see the game, how did Coutinho look today?

    1. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 24 days ago

      He looked like our only decent player. Will miss him when he goes in Jan.

      1. F4L
        9 years, 24 days ago

        cheers. I expect him to stay the season though 🙂

        1. Red Dagger ✪
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          9 years, 24 days ago

          Lets hope.

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

      only he and salah out of both teams actually did anything of interest today.

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

      Best Pool player. Everything went through him. Klopp was an idiot to sub him.

  14. Lone Wolf FPL
    9 years, 24 days ago

    WC team. How is that look?

    Fabianski, Elliot
    Kola, Jones, Ward, Dunk, Mbemba
    Eriksen, Silva, Zaha, Richarlison, Carroll
    Aguero, Jesus, Morata

    1. F4L
      9 years, 24 days ago

      knee jerky

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        9 years, 24 days ago

        I know. Really mad!

    2. Over Midwicket
      9 years, 24 days ago

      You're confident Kun and Jesus will start together?

    3. ooooo
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Why Jesus?

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        9 years, 24 days ago

        I like his 60 mins performing when he score one or two

  15. The Mandalorian
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Kane’s next 3 fixtures don’t look good

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

      He'll score in every one of them

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

        that's the spirit

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

        He'll be scoring without the arm bad for my team though.

  16. G-Whizz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    9 years, 24 days ago

    OK Kola, Sanchez ain't going to be on the pitch, take control of that left flank, own it like you know you can and keep a clean sheet for me.

    My GW is in your hands (feet, head, whatever) 😆

    1. Ode
      9 years, 24 days ago

      This!

    2. VFORVANDETA
      9 years, 24 days ago

      This

  17. Dr. DOOM
    9 years, 24 days ago

    People who are transferring Kane out, What is the thinking behind it?

    1. jbenny1107
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Knee-jerk reaction. He's a season keeper.

      1. Dr. DOOM
        9 years, 24 days ago

        Thats what i think too

    2. Ode
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Wembley games coming up, also tough away games

    3. Fanta sea
      9 years, 24 days ago

      They expect a goal every game even though that would produce something close to 38 goals a season even though 31 is the highest number of goals that a player as scored in an entire premier league season.

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

      I'm considering it if Kun and Morata are fit. Next away easy fixture is in 7 gameweeks time, Kun and Morata probably better than Kane and Vardy, Kane won't outscore all premium strikers by 10 goals

    5. HNI
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Kane easy games are at Wembley. All away games where Spurs play with freedom and much better are against top top sides

    6. BROOKLYN GOONER
      9 years, 24 days ago

      He is too expensive, unless you captain him. The only reason _not_ shift him is the Palace fixture. Stll have Eriksen, so might captain him that week, if I somehow decide that Arsenal will keep it tight versus City.

  18. Football Heaven
    9 years, 24 days ago

    WIth bavies, Kane, sterling and silva, is alli to KDB a bad idea. 3 City mids, WIth Aguero back. Hoping sane will be dropped

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      9 years, 24 days ago

      fine idea but wait

  19. Dr. Agabuse
    9 years, 24 days ago

    ANd I was happy to be able, to put smn ahead of carollT on the bench finally 🙁

  20. Egyptian Giza
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Lesson learnt: take hits like the sean penn in rainman

    1. Give The Todd Some Love
      9 years, 24 days ago

      He wasn't even in Rain Man.

      So no hits?

    2. Over Midwicket
      9 years, 24 days ago

      You mean Dustin Hoffman?

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

      Amazing

  21. john25
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Hey guys, so far anyone who might double rise in value this week except Jesus?

    Cheers

    1. Ode
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Sterling maybe

    2. Rover
      9 years, 24 days ago

      The thing is with Aguero back even Jesus may not

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

    Every season i've took hits, and played aggressively, and it's worked out every time, this season i thought i'd play it safe, all gone to crap.
    Never again, hits galore from now on.

    1. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Same here exactly.

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

        It's just no fun this game unless you have.......well....fun with it lol.

    2. PocketZola
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Opposite for me lol

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

        Doubt it.

    3. the snazzy viking
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Complete opposite for me

      1. the snazzy viking
        9 years, 24 days ago

        actually never mind I was taking -12s and -16s last season

  23. the snazzy viking
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Not going to make any transfers unless I get some injuries

    Fabianski (6) / Elliot (sou)
    Kola (wat) Davies (0) Maguire (WBA) Ward (2) / Wimmer (0)
    Salah (3) D.Silva (7) Ritchie (sou) / RLC (0 Chalobah* (0)
    Kane (4) Jesus (13) Lacazette (wat)

    Current score post BPS: 35(-4)

    Wondering how everyone is getting into the 40's and 50's this week..

    It's either a Jones CS, a jammy 7 points from Carroll off the bench for Davies, the Eriksen goal, Sterling's haul or differential captainers that are making them do well

    1. Over Midwicket
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Your tears are amazing

    2. Point-one short
      9 years, 24 days ago
