Gameweek 13 resumes with five afternoon kick-offs with the two top Fantasy Premier League captain picks on show.

Harry Kane will face West Brom – under the guidance of interim coach Gary Megson – at Wembley Stadium backed by 1.2 million (22.5%) FPL managers with the armband. The Spurs striker has frustrated with five blanks from his six home matches to this point and some 77,000+ even sold Kane ahead of today’s encounter.

Meanwhile, Romelu Lukaku is again the most popular Gameweek skipper, although he only just edges Kane having claimed 1.3 million (24.8) backers. The Manchester United striker will face a Brighton defence at Old Trafford, with Paul Pogba lining up alongside him, despite last night’s reports suggesting that he could miss out.

Tammy Abraham is one notable Fantasy asset that does sit out today. He is only considered fit enough for the bench following a back injury, with Paul Clement forced to turn to Wilfried Bony to lead his attack against Bournemouth. Abraham has been sold by 229,000 ahead of last night’s deadline, second only to the injured John Stones. Given that he is ineligible to face his parent club Chelsea in Gameweek 14 on Wednesday, Abraham will still likely see action today, particularly if Swansea are in need of a goal late on.

Elsewhere, Roy Hodgson has thrown Fantasy managers some unwanted curveballs. He drops both Julian Speroni and Scott Dann to the Crystal Palace bench for Stoke City’s visit to Selhurst Park following the two goals conceded against Everton in Gameweek 12. Speroni was perhaps somewhat expected given his error for the Toffees second strike, though Dann’s omission is more of a surprise. He was the Eagles skipper against Everton and now passes the armband to Mamadou Sakho today.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Kane blank makes it easy to spend my 8 mil, even if he scores well in next few matches, I will have haz, sane, salah, de Byrne, alli

    1. Chirsbom

      Sold Kane and went for Pogba, Eriksen, Sane, Silva and Salah. Think they will more than make up for it..

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Eriksen and Silva are meh

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah shocking players who never deliver points in this game.

        Meh I can understand Sane and Salah

    Cant stand Lukaku in my team anymore tbh. Off this week for Morata who is 1m cheaper.

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      He always scores in the last 15 minutes unlike Kane.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Couldn’t understand why people were even bringing Lukaku in, he’s utterly useless, wasn’t touching my team.

    3. mir

      That's my move, even if he scores a hatrick. (Hope he does!)

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Of course its the players fault and not yours for picking them.

  8. Differentiator

    1. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

    1. Dragon Arcana
      • 13 Years

    2. Business Cat

      I'm looking at getting Hazard in with his funds freed up.

      God knows who to get as 3rd striker though...already got Morata and Wilson

  16. Jam0sh

    Almost halfway through to the sixth captain fail in a row. Must be close to some kind of record when trying to succeed

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years

      I'm matching your record 😉

      1. Jam0sh

  18. Ribus
    • 12 Years

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Pervert.

  19. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Spurs in real danger of losing out on a top 4 place?

    The Wembley curse or something else?

  20. MrMajeika
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

  22. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Have neither

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Kaku is far better though. Should've never got Kane this season

  24. Scout Pics
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Can't even think of three strikers I want in my team. Morata, Niasse, Rondon?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah, them 3.

  25. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Vardy five points not looking too bad so far.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah, this mornings article might need to be reworded 😉

  26. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    I think it's time to sell Kaku

  27. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

  28. Postman Ty
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Part of me actually wants Eriksen to blank again so there will be no shadow of a doubt when I drop him forever...
