There’s something special about a Gameweek under lights and, even with just four matches to get things underway, there is excitement and expectation in equal measure.

Tonight’s eight teams boast enough Fantasy talent to deliver significant points – not least Harry Kane and Romelu Lukaku, who will doubtless be the top two captain picks on show yet again.

The smart money – and the armbands from active Fantasy managers – are likely to be with the Spurs striker, as Kane revisits the ground where he fired an incredible 31 point return in 2016/17.

His owners will gladly accept a more modest tally this time around, though having scored six of his nine goals on the road this season, double-figures could again be within reach.

Less is expected of Lukaku, who will collide with a Watford defence that has kept back-to-back clean sheets. The Belgian’s form remains a concern, with his recent strike against Newcastle his only goal in the last six Gameweeks.

Elsewhere, the big news from The Hawthorns is that Newcastle United’s goalkeeper, Rob Elliot, has been dropped from Rafa Benitez’s line-up. Priced at 4.0 initially this season, Elliot boasts an ownership of 26.4% who must now turn to their reserve option. For the managers who also own Crystal Palace’s Julian Speroni, there is no reserve option, ensuring they look set to be forced to market ahead of Gameweek 15.

Talking of Palace, news from their “local derby” with Brighton finds Christian Benteke in the starting line-up for the visitors, with cut-price midfielder Ruben Loftus Cheek perhaps moving to a No 10 role to accommodate his return.

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

    Need a Richarlison consolation and a goal from Pogba. Also a Simpson cleanse despite Kane will be good as imagine a few benched their Leicester defender.

    1. Yank Revolution

    Newcastle certain for a CS today
    No Elliott, and MBemba on my bench (as I thought he’d been dropped)

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Is he playing his own defence?

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years

  25. Game of Throw_ins
    • 10 Years

    Kane second half hat-trick incoming.

  26. HNI

    It feels like blue side lf Manchester spanking watford

  27. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Would be happy with just a Kane assist at this stage..

    1. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Was just about to right this

      1. Garlana
        • 11 Years

        Write*

      2. Ha.
        • 10 Years

        Your right

  28. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Kane captainers must feel a bit optimistic, he normally pulls out some goals when this happens

    1. grumpyman
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yep. Kane brace at least next half.

      1. mir
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Id take just one goal and no bonus if was offered right now.

      2. L S P
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        totally. at least. will probably score 8.

    2. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Was hoping spurs could get an early one and then stretch LEI for another 1 or 2 goals. As soon as Vardy's goal went in I knew I was in trouble. Hoping for the best.

    3. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Leicester bus incoming for the second half, any manager with sense will know spurs can't beat a bus.

  29. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Kiko better stay first on bench.

    1. SuperMane Returns
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I brought him in for Fernandez on a free....and he's playing. Minus points incoming

  30. Dougal McGuire
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Feeling ok about trading Vertonghen for Otamendi for a hit. Most hits have backfired this season, this one might at least break even this week.

    Of course I still captained Kane.....
