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.

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

      Ugh that's gross.

      It's so annoying that there's only 15 minutes in a game.

    1. AllanM
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Most ppls Spurs defenders are on the bench.

  6. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Vardy 2nd on my bench. This game will be the death of me

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      How can you afford to bench him?

      1. Digital-Real
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        cos he aint been doing jack of late!

    2. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Odd decision

    3. Jimmy Boy
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Why did you bench Vardy when he excels against teams that play a high line?

  7. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Hehe get in Vardy, I hope Rebekah gets lost in the jungle

  8. Rik Waller
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Goal of the season?

  9. Stupendous

    Spurs are simply dog shit.

      Quality punditry.

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

    Brilliant assist from Albrighton.

  11. Dr. DOOM
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Noone sold Vardy here?

  12. Darth_Krid
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    VARDY!!!!!!!!!!!!

    No idea why I still have him, but I love him! 😀

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

      Accidental ownership, well played 🙂

      1. Darth_Krid
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I've been looking to ditch for a while, but there's just no one in that price bracket who's better. Firmino maybe but he's hardly a stable choice at the minute.

  13. Yank Revolution
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Knew I kept Vardy around for a reason...THE PARTY!

  14. Akeem
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Top class goal

  15. Sahil Yadav

    TM was asking about Vardy today. I think he's happy now 🙂

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

      Any Vardy owner will admit we're kind of stuck with him, the points are welcome of course 🙂

      1. Here's Tom with the We…
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Haha yeah! I’ve wanted rid of him for weeks, always had bigger fish to fry

      2. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Not stuck, just no one in his budget range that appeals, save Firm.

      3. Chris_H
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        He's in a funny price bracket, all the cheapos in reality are dog turd, so given his fixture I thought I may as well hold.

      4. d3bug
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        With the fixtures to come he was going nowhere
        Also the most important reason to bring him was he starts every game

    Vardy party

  18. Jekori

    8 years, 4 months ago

    No Spurs defender so i'm fine with that Vardy beauty. Now Kane has to go and get 2 goals at least. Albrighton assist doesn't harm too much this season too

  19. mad_beer ✅

    Albrighton bandwagon!

  20. Fred54

    Its almost a catchphrases of mine to say the moment I sell a player, 85% of the he does well the following GW.

    When ******* Doucouré can do it yo me then Vardy scoring was a given.

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Fred, I think youre transferring out the wrong peeps.

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Tell me about it, always have the right players but at the wrong time!

    Starting to think Kane(c) was a stupid mistake.

  28. willl
    • 10 Years

    Had Vardy for around 7 weeks, got one assist.

    Ditched him this week, typical.

      2. willl
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, I've been wanting rid of him for a while and I think ditching was the right decision, Morata should outscore him over the next few weeks.
