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.

    Lloris is overated. A decent keeper, but overrated.

      True.

    2. suddenorgan

              As i took out Rich put in young and changed my mind and didnt confirm transfer. Went RLC instead.

              Easy to nearly do it when you think about it.

          Richarlison worth getting in for the next GW?.

              • 8 Years
              8 years, 4 months ago

              He might score against Burnley though

                • 16 Years
                8 years, 4 months ago

                They're hardly letting many in are they though?

        3. Rik Waller

          Since when does Ken Barlow play for Newcastle?

          Odds of rashford coming on?

          1. Rash
            • 8 Years

            With a result like this he might get the full rest - I'd say 50/50

        7. Rash
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Doubt doucoure will come out 2nd half been atrocious

        11. Les Bleus
          • 14 Years

            • 15 Years

            Lukaku also ruining a Lukaku goal. Could have struck it better.

            Too early to worry about ML rivals...over half a season left. Just play your game.

          Surely Spurs will come out a different team. I will yet again consider a rage transfer if Kane blanks on me again 😆

        19. Magic Bean
          • 10 Years

          Did Mark captain Kane?

          I now don't have a playing goalkeeper, and must take a -4 just to raise the cash to get one.

        25. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          this is not knee jerking this is logical if kane doesnt score in the 2nd half he s out, aguero in, yes kane will score goals but so will other players and that price tag is just not justified.

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

            All the best with it. The more sellers the better imo!

            • 10 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            It is justified, 11.5m for Aguero who you won't be confident captaining due to doubts on starting.
